I want it!!! I just cant afford it.. Mal

its the same address? M

Blimey, well I've been after this for an age now, you see the tuther one all the time, but thhis one is IMO allot rarer.. anybody got one for sale? Mal

Same here, brilliant record... Mal

I would think most of us cant really comment on whether they pay or don't pay Royalties, you will never know for sure; you can only hope they did as a buyer... I for one think its a very sad day, they did double up on allot of tracks and as Pete mentioned allot of the earlier sleeve notes were crap, I spent years looking for some records on the wrong labels, and who ever printed Blue lettering on a red background did indeed need shooting...!! But that aside, Soulful Kinda Music, For Collectors only, Under the street Lamp, The 2 Volumes on the Northern Soul of LA, were outstanding, those comps are where allot of people my age heard these records for the first time... Kent's 'Soul Class of 66' was an essential mother of a Northern comp, but you had to have 'Soulful Kinda Music' and 'For Collectors only' for the sheer obscurity factor!! its a shame... Mal.C

Does anybody watch Cbeebies, obviously if only you have kids, anyhow they use a re working of Burts apple crumble - The quick, every day on the bedtime hour, see if you can pick that one up. Dont know if anybody on here works for Trinity Mirror? well if you do check out the IT hold music, this morning was Tony Clark's Landslide, and last Friday when I called it was the Spellbinders!!! I never knew working for a national Newspaper would give me Northern Soul on Hold !! Mal.C.

I want this an all.. Mal.C.

Think the Fabulous Impacts, Devonns - Do the Gittin up, San fran TKOs and the daddy of them all, Melba Moore - Magic touch, which is still as fresh now as it was back then.. what can you say.. Mal

havent got 29 back yet I dont think, nerer saw Derek jacks, but i'm up for another round if anybody else is.. mal

I was trying to remember this place the other day, I used to go with Paul and Jay Sutton, Derek Jack and all the Brighton crew back in the mid 9ts I think, keith and Maxine Woon used to put it on with others right? remember hearing Colette Kelly - City of Fools for the first time, always loved that record. Mal.C.

Have mailed you re: James Kelly Duhon - In School - Jude(tatty label) - E+ - £25 m

you did not stipulate who for, so I swapped Colt 45's on Jerry for Amanda Humphrey - Power Of Love on USA, and the guy chucked in Marvin L Sims on Mellow.. I just had to have 'Power Of Love' Mal.C.

you will probably have to pay allot, its up there as the most collectable release, or there about.. There is a, err a reissue? or maybe Bootleg on ebay which turns up, and I think the Ace group might have re released it on one of their more Funk / Jazz labels.. Good Luck Mal

other than the obvious things, there is nothing in there that should pose any problems, beyond me.. M

God Knows Mick.. I'd say a guitar.. but what do I know... I do think you should seek out the 100 club footage of him singing it for sheer feeling, especially when he hits that note mid way..and the club goes crazy... you can see the confidence it gives him knowing they all know it, and they all Love it..!! God dam I wish I was there.. Mal:-)

hold that thought... i'M GETTIN IN ON THE ACT..!! Sorry benji..Last post on your thread. M

Christ I just put one of these back at a little record store on the weekend, its not worth anything is it? mal

This is a good one, especially in Australia... I've been trying to figure out what releases went with which sleeve for ages, and I have it from two of the top Aussie collectors (Frank D, George) that they came out in which ever sleeve was available.. For example, Festival released loads of labels such as Atlantic, the label had two different designs, pure Green (Silver Lettering) releases, and Green and white striped releases, they all seem to have the same sleeve, with Atlantic is Soul toward the bottom..in Green and white.. maybe it was just cheaper.. Also I've been after Aussie Sue Sleeves for ages, only 6-7 tracks were ever released on Aussie Sue, but I have never seen a sleeve to go with, everybody I spoke to said they are simply white..so they just took advantage of white sleeves that were available, although they would have been distributed by Festival.. You can tell the orig white sleeves over there by the top of the sleeve, usually it will have jagged edge..you also get allot of Plastic printed sleeves, which look great when Mint, but crap if ripped or messed about.. which is normally the case.. They also had generic sleeves with a host of the labels represented / printed on the sleeve, Festival mainly did this... Anorak enough for ya!! Laughs Mal.C.

Hi Alan..... Liza my wife got chatting to a girl in some shop the other week, anyhow it transpires her name was Della, and she says it was cause her father was mad on the singer, she said 'you wont know her, she's very obscure' and of course we did.. is it 'The Solitary Woman' ? was it the same on UK I wonder? M

Ok, so the studio cut made a UK release on HMV... you live and learn.. personally I love both her released versions on this song, so I had to have em both!!! M
