Antwans - Aint no love o SNAWTNA is a good one.. there was also some Russian prat who went by the name of Strebor Nivek, I've no idea who that might be....... Mel.B aka Mal.C.

Blimey you all missed Clay Hunt - Since I lost you / Kapp and I suppose this qualifies given it was cut but not released by Brenda Holloway as Lonley Boy : Eric Mercury & The Soul Searchers - Lonely Girl Mal.C

Old Rave period version, I mean it was spun at places like the Hummingbird in 89/90, its not Rave in style at all, But things like James -Come Home -Weatherall Mix, Chris Rea - Josephine etc were all enders back then, good version...and cheap!! mal

ok, so the acetates were around long before the Kent CD? you assume if Kent have just released something and alt versions are being spun by 100 club residents, that there must be a connection... regarding it being legit, at the time it said to be 100%.... M

it's worth mentioning that the slightly faster more Northern version, on the Benn X label was played by Butch, and was a BIG record for a while which I suspect came from Ady C, Maybe he can confirm that, the slower version made it onto a Kent CD release at the same time, Goldmine put the slower version on CD and a White Label 45 appeared of that version from them to I assume plug their CD.. I cant really comment on the murky world of some of their 45 releases, that said I bought both CD's and 45's well worth having.. Mal.C.

Steady Toad, its all good fun...was as much a Raver as a soulie, so love both music's and people, but we were just punters, you pays your money and in you go....... Not wanting to turn this thread the wrong way...I leave you with a smilie face!! Mal.C.

Laughs, POGOin.. or skipping if I remember right at the Hummingbird, you could dance in the middle or join a steady stream of Happy Ravers skipping round the dance floor, Here you go, Frightening!! I'm the monged chap in the Red Beneton top, my first and last try at Drug dealing, I basically I consumed more than I sold, and felt all the better for it!!! 20 seconds to comply!!! happy dayz...

The Raves were at the Sports Connection,The Eclipse, Tic-Toc club used to run nights as well, I mean Dance nights with the likes of Martin red, unknown DJ (Mickie Rose), Neil Massie and all the birmingham lot would come over, Man Paris... as MC...MENTAL Times... I drifted into the Rave scene having started with Northern at the Rigger in Brum, Old Vic in Wolverhampton, and occasional 100 club, come 92 the dance thing was dead, and back to the soul records I went.. I do Remember playing Ted Massey tapes to mates from Cov after the Sports Connection, it was pretty good come down music!! Laughs I'll probably get shot, But might I suggest this for a little light entertainment!! My favorite from back then.. anybody for a cheeky half>>?? Mal.C

Just a note of interest, remember Rob Pheasant having the Inst version of this, also on Dore.. unluckily it went before I got a chance to snap it up. mal.C

cool, Sad Feeling on a Yank Orange, ssame again no credits for the two singers on this song... Its become a firm favorite of mine, real Moody striding pace.. EP's, so I have NO5, you can put your hand up for NO1 and NO4, do we know what else came out? Pikeys Dog who I remember from Dave Flynn's site, mentioned ages ago these would have come with Pic sleeves, but I've never seen one.. M

I'll check I don't already have em and get back to you, How it going Carms, it been an age!! mal

ooohh Blimey, I want em!! Bought mine of a Traveler type guy who used to go to allot of Soul do's in Brighton, I assume he would pip over on the Ferry to Dieppe and pick stuff up, everything a fiver and I just bought one,, DOH!!

Thats Really Cool, Buy alas I don't own this 45... suppose she will be in the same boat as Frank Wilson then, sang it, loved it, Lived it... (in her case soon to live it) but cant afford to buy it...!! Thank god for MP3's.. Mal.C.

I Don's have many UK 45's, But Vocalions always look the Bizz, are they Red on demo, or is that brunswick?

Here's the cover of the French EP...

Only yank Orange or Pink I don't have, Sad feeling is a Great 45, very underrated, or maybe just missed, anybody know who the male and female singers are on this 45, cause it does not say on the Canadian Issue?? One of the nice French EP's as well, cover is in the post below, and the 45 Release of getting used to the Blues.. M

The more common Orange and Pinks

1'st issues and some nice Mini LP and Juke Box discs, anybody got any more? also I'm told they has Pic covers?? Mal.C.

Been a little while since we had a record scan fest, I've meant to do Bobby Bland one for ages, so here goes from around the globe. The Aussie W&G is the best made release you will get from down under, Festival made discs are shocking quality, this is as thick as a One Dearful 45, PROPER chunk of vinyl, and sounds great! Canadian ones look Great also, Its only recently I've been picking up the red ones though, anybody seen demo's on these, or are the red's Demo's? Mal.C.

Thats a brilliant record (Rena Scott) agree though this particular Berres track is GOD Awful... why, and I don't know why, it reminds me of all that leon Haywood stuff on Eve Jim, thats Bloody awful an'all.... Mal.V

guys, your all short My CD, apologies its been one hell of a mad 2/3 months with work, I simply have not had time to my self... I basically syndicate news int, the News of the World, Sun Footage and images every week, did the Fergie Sting last week to the world Media, its consumed my life, as their Exclusives do every week and I'm on shift this Sunday with another from the screws I'm sure!! I'm hoping to get this done at the first available bit of time I have to my self.. now would be good but bed beckons... It will be with you all soon, I promise. Mal.C.

Dont ya just Love Pink Decca demo's .. some times I dont care whats on em.. they just look good.. laughs mal

Probably either the snake, nine times out of ten or Landslide at Knowle youth club, To be honest I cant remember which.... First proper dance at a proper soul club, different matter! the Old Vic in Wolverhampton, The precisions - If this is Love, before then i had not tried to do the proper footwork, but I distinctly remember coming away thinking I'd done a good job of it... laughs Got the record on the nite also, £4 from Richard Domar!! bargain.... Mal.C.

I cant believe nobody has yet mentioned Richard Domar..... he sells on line these days, well just tuesdays actually but if you catch him on a good day he's a lovely guy, willing to please, otherwise he's can we say challenging......Laughs.. Mal.C

Patience Valentine - Our Love (A special Blending) Maybe a tad slow to start but really climbs to a high... someone will play it one of these days, and you will all want one!! Mal.C.
