Never had it's day yet, and always reminds me a bit of Flame N King.....

Wow amazing.....I wonder how many of these people we can recognise!

It must be because it is "SOUL" and "Soul" fetches big money in Europe don't cha know. That's the only explanation that I can think of that makes a seller list all his rock stuff for $5.99 but what they consider a "soul" record for $999. Hilarious

Never seen either on 45 Ady

Tommy Keith was a seminal figure on the Jersey soul scene........That's New Jersey Pete

Because sometimes they pressed em up, then didn't put them out and ended up throwing the copies out....it happened quite a bit in the strange world of 60s record biz. Ady I was keeping quiet about it being Tommy Keith But yes it is he.

Yeah that was the first one to go in the Lizfest.......

Reckon she did him a favour clearing out some of them dusty oldies Seriously though, I think he was just TOO restrained for it to be realistic His reaction was like she'd thrown out some old clothes or something, not his prized record collection. Wasn't the Gene Chandler Stateside demo the prized item in Liz's other boyfriend's collection - the Teddy boy lothario. Always thought Lloyd was more of a "Flirtations" type of guy???

Think that's right Ady hence it's appearance on CD with the wrong artist title , then Mick Smith had a cracked copy which he played.....then I got one, and Sam won one in a John Manship auction. It's the rarest Wand that I know of and has a fabulous B side as well, some would say better than "Crying". We think it got pulled post pressing because of a dust up between producer and label. Speedlimit not sure Keb has played it, and you are right Butch has the instrumental. Steve

Used to love it there and also DJing there as a regular resident type thing in the early/mid80s, the only venue I have ever been to where I could walk there and back!

Phil, I like "Man of my word" - vocals are great and the rhythm is tight and very catchy. WIlliam Powell to me is just a thumping monotonous dirge where the singer just sings the title a hundred times over. There I've said it now, and I'd say the same if William was on here. Point is we all like different things.

Very good. think Flaming Emeralds and 7th Wonder were ultimate stomping / shuffling* records because they were so fast and rhythmically strong. Still a few around who give it a go. * in the south it was shuffling, stompers were things like Judy Street!

Well old Arthur sold his this summer (I got that ) and old John weston had it for sale too as Bicks has said, but it's not a common record at all.

Some interesting stuff there, how many have got the equipment to play it on?

Time I am on, there'll be no "deep soul" from me I am afraid.....

I think I can get the roof of my house re tiled for that price Ted

Good for you Ted, I didn't get it for £90 and it's now hopelessly out of my price range. Another one I'll never own now

You like? I should drop it into the set at Bedford next week......Steve

I am sorry that you don't get it. The artist has a CD on sale and you are making illegal copies for profit without telling them? Seems pretty obvious to me.

Merely expressing an opinion, not outlawed (yet!). I am surprised if Cliff is playing it.

A brilliant oldie, have had it in my box for ages just never got round to reactivating it, but have been beaten to it so to speak :-) Always thought this would work in moddun rooms as a revived oldie.

It's awful what "top DJ" is playing this ffs?

Careful though it's styrene and some of the copies are a bit knackered, mine is ok though still

A great double sider......

Think it's probably one done in the 70s, and as others have said a UK job. Probably for a "DeeJay"
