Let me down easy - betty lavette - calla isn't this written by Wrekia Holloway?

Howlin' Wolf's true name is Chester Burnett.

Hi Tony I know of a couple of possibles, people that have copies of Looking Back, one is a friend in San Diego and maybe Lee Miller (UK mod dj) who lives in Leeds. I've txt'd Lee and will let you know when he responds. I do have an MP3 of Looking Back (I think) but it's on my PC at home so I'll post it up here, can't remember what the quality is like? This is my number one what and it really difficult to find, never seen a copy on ebay! Tim

Jo how right, the refurb was awful, all that pine it was just too bright, sort of thing you'd put in your bedroom at home!

Still after one, anybody???

Best version is by Roy Hamilton.

Again this is fantastic, I played to a couple of my colleagues at work, who aren't soul fans but would know Curtis, and both didn't know it wasn't the original. It's good that people haven't been too precious about the idea, as an exercise it's really interesting. Now just post up the Tin Soldier clip, I won't be over critical, I promise. After that can we make requests??

To be honest Pete I don't know. What do you think of the second one?

And the third Excite_Me.mp3

Hi Tony That's what is written on the sleeve in pen?

And the second, this one is the best dancer: Aint_No_Room.mp3

Here's the first: l I_Got_Love.mp3

Anyone know how much this sells for? Thanks TTM

Please post away 'Tin Soldier', at least it would get a fair hearing.

I think it sounds great, perhaps the horns could be more prominent. Also perhaps a Wurlitzer 200 Electric piano would be better. Although Rhodes have made piano's since the mid-sixties, the Wurlitzer is the predominent eletronic piano on most 60's recordings. Let's hope we can hear more 60's output.

Definately good tune for mod clubs, good bluesy dancer.

Thanks Nut, much appreciated. Sounds very New York type production. Amazing that these British oddities exist, still more to surface no doubt

Thanks TTM

He it is, £10 if you're interested. TTM Mohawks___Let_It_Be.mp3

Amazing how the value of some discs rises without there being a particular demand, I checked Manship's 2nd edition guide (2003) and it's £40. I'm not saying it's not worth that, but I picked up a VG copy of an early Marvin Gaye 45, 'Never Let You Go' (Stripped Tamla) for £4.99 on ebay last week, £100 in mint in this guide!

I think about £30?

On Tamla, follow-up to Money. Thanks Tim

Not as good as James Jamerson's opening bass lines, killer!!! Love these girls, my favourite Motown girl group, but isn't Needle In A Haystack an overplayed classic. Also love 'Aint' No Place Like Motown'

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - I Gotta Let You go - b-side of Forget Me Not (1968), the backing is exactly the same, although not the same Funk Bros recording as GWYWMMB. sound sample here: https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Martha_Reev..._Let_You_Go.ram Hope this helps.

Thanks
