Steve Edgar

Another great show today Shaun, really good to hear both sides of Margie Joseph steve

Interesting one Roger, just checked, copy I got is the R711A matrix. another thing bout this 45 is the flip side, the excellent "Sweet Way Of Living" label credits it at 2:40 but ya only get bout a minute and a half of it!!! which is a shame coz it's me fav side steve

Baz, mine came in a soul pack mate...so guess ya could say it was a pound! £250 seems totally ridiculas (Ridiculas!!! one word I just cannot bloody spell! ) steve

Masqueraders, Together that's the only way/one more chance m- £50 [p6705]

Dunno if it been mentioned but I'd throw in Big Wheel, 7 releases....all class! imho steve

Yeah! got a copy on the blue/brown vinyl Ex+ £30 inc P&P to UK steve

Cheers Crumb, Yup! yours sounds identical Tina's great, sends her love to ya both. so it seems to me now, there aint a difference steve

hiya Crumb, hope you an Dawn are well mate, have ya got a soundclip of your copy to post up. take it ya 97700 aint scratched out steve

hope so Dennis, been wanting to hear em both side by side for ages! as I dont think Ive heard anything (apart from the later 115 issue) that sounded different except did think I once heard the track and thort the girly bit might have been different but wasnt sure steve

"her "Love Me Or Leave Me" on Sucess Express not a bad little cheapie if I remember rightly steve

ya right Boba Fred Bridges....along with Lawrence Payton of the Tops...the other side was penned by 2 Brothers Of Soul Fred and Richard Knight again along with Lawrence. steve

I'd say it's original...and the first press too! so much nicer those tangerine tangerines imo steve

I agree with Pete on that, in fact Pete, got my copy off you for I think 25 quid, and still in a UA sleeve (mind that was a few years back) AHBYH is one of my fav Ray Pollard records his vocal on it blows me away. As it's a plaki job, if ya after a copy make sure ya get one in at least Ex condition imo stev

spins or not 20 quid for an issue in my book picked a demo up for a fiver a couple ov years back, always amazes me how a few spins of a record suddenly makes em rare! supose it's the old adege... pick em up before someone plays em! Or if ya too late wait for the price to get realistic, but then they dont!! O well keep buying the un-played then "Daddy O" on the flip makes this one of Golden World's must av double sided 45's imho steve

would have thort 20 quid for Theresa Lindsey and anywhere between 50 - 100 for Ernie Marbray these days steve

Issues say "You Can Work It Out" too! steve

Growing up as a youth and getting into soul music, I didn't know that I was already falling in love with this man's music.Only later after collecting records and realising how many the name Richard Popcorn Wylie appeared on. either writing or production credits, did I come to realise what a phenomenal talent this man was! Truly one of the greatest writing talents along with Tony Hester the Detroit soul scene ever produced. Much respect and gratitude to the man, and sincere condolences to Popcorn's family. For me, perhaps one of the best tracks from the Wylie Hester partnership has to be "(I'll Be Your Champion) I'll Be Your Winner" Take a bow in Heaven Mr Wylie, when it comes to class soul, you are a Champion, and most defiantly a Winner! steve

Nick, Delicates on Challenge came out July/Aug 1965 (going from the delta No. in deadwax) as ya know song co wrote by Bobby Sanders,(as was another of their Challenge 45's, the earlier "I Want To Get Married") Think Bobby took the group to kick off his Soultown label a year or so latter. hth steve

Hi Roger, also this design steve

agree there, A lot ov Candi's Muscle Shoals output was great, got "For You"... will put it in thread steve

also plain white with blue writing label with no addy (an early one) Roger steve

sounds good to me steve

Id say one and the same Paul, Burgess's name turns up on so many class St Lawrence and other Chicago recordings He also had his own label "Down To Earth" think his son is following in his footsteps, tho on Trombone instead of trumpet.... unless theres 2 Burgess Gardners from chicago? steve

agree wid ya Roger, got the address and all, also that 2nd scan of yours also appears to have the addy, tho as you say it seems cropped steve
