Oh all right I'll join in, if only to get this back on the 'latest topics' page. The B side of T99 on Hi, speeded up to +6 on yer turntable - great little 60s sound.

Talking of ABC how about Tommy Tate? Two GREAT sides and as rare as they come.

Thanks and welcome to replying on soul source, keep posting etc.......It is I believe the same song as the record you can hear the title etc.

Rare issues are another subject altogether - sometimes because the record company abandoned the release after promo due to lack of response, and ditched the stock.

Perhaps the one I put up fits into this category. I certainly think so.

There are often contractual disputes which prevent a record getting distributed at the last moment or 'pulled'. Or the preceding record becomes a big hit so the company puts all their efforts into promoting that. Or it just doesn't get the airplay they'd hoped for. Or the Promotional / A&R men don't distribute them and they get binned instead. Or the artist has signed somewhere else by the time the record comes out. Or the thing was never going to get properly promoted, but it came as part of a job lot (e.g. three groups on a deal to get a record out on a label and despite putting it out the company never gets behind the third one). Or there's a fault on the pressing (could even include mis-spelling or omitted names)...many reasons, even for larger labels.

Has it been booted then?

Have you played the clip yet?

Ok this one caught my eye. Obviously a soul seller but having heard the sound clip I don't get this one at all. Shocking to me. https://www.ebay.com/...L-/120837188386

Is it inappropriate to pass comment on ebay sales which haven't finished yet? I realise it might p*ss the seller off (if they are on here), but what do others think? Fair game or bad form? Say for example someone puts up for sale a badly produced punk record up and says it's a holy grail modern dancer, with a stupid price? Genuine question.

Only 7 views too. Well done Pete.

How strange I collected the label as well. Think I got em all in the end and I cannot remember there being any super rarities. I think I even did an article in one of the soul mags going through all the releases and reviewing them back in the 90s but don't know where it is right now or what the mag was. The label is brimming with great tunes.

Fryer did em as part of several Wand records he put out.

Yep, agreed. And "Yes man" doesn't work as well at soul nights as it does at Niters! But that's true of a lot of records.

Yes a good choice. Have tried playing it periodically and it only works sometimes.

Hi Joel, yes fraid so. Butch was the first one I heard play it. ATB Steve

Bob does make some fair points. James Knight was big a few years ago, certainly in Europe, are we tipping it for a revival then in 2012? Muriel Day anyone? : Bout time someone up north wheeled this old bird out for a revival?

So all this supports the theory that 103 and 104 came out at the same time. When the objection was raised, copies were either felt penned out and Tony Daniels was repressed due to sales? All seems to make sense. Steve

I sold mine for 500 last autumn (because I never played it), and I think that is a fair price.

I'm a member but I don't take too much notice of it to be honest. Apart from some of us I see it as mainly for people who went a few times or aren't really that serious about the music etc. But that's just me......

Maybe they came out at the same time (103 and 104) ? Quite often labels released records more than one at a time.

Look forward to it Mark. Steve

Is Simon Soussan still alive? Reading this thread he sounds like a right plonker
