Promos? More likely copies for juke boxes. That's what I always thought. Played it as a brand new release at Essence, it appeared about a week before the weekender….dropped it in, took the roof off! Think Steve Plumb had the 7s, and cheap too. You have to be quick to grab a bargain in this old world.

Was it issued on Wand or just promo'd, think mine is a promo.

58 bids for a g+ that visibly looks fooked? WTF….madness.

There are 100s of them about….it's not a rare record. But once again demand outstrips supply so the price goes up.

If that gent doesn't deliver there's one here too.

Sorry just can't help myself, any opportunity to have a dig at Simon Soussan….

I don't think so, but with that idiot Simon Soussan anything is possible.

Have you looked at Carolinasoul.com?

Just a heads up second hour of my show this week (and next )will feature an hour of music from Shout - a truly under-estimated label chock a block with great music. It was originally going to be a one hour special but when I pulled all the records out, I found there were too many good ones for one hour - so two hours it is! One this week, and another lot next week. Started in 1966 by Bert Berns Shout Records outlived him, and went on to 1975.

There is a lot of odd Bell stuff at the end of it's US life, gaps in the discography, rare records etc…..they probably often didn't get out of the warehouse as much as they should….

A great songwriter…..RIP RMMcC.

Yes rare as a double sided demo too.

The Magnificents were Jack Ashford / Lorraine Chandler's group yes? Got their "There can be a better way" on MAM, which we used to think was the same as The Smith Brothers, but isn't. So who were The Magnificents?

Yep, Cal Thomas told me how they got their name….definitely named after the car.

There is no "e" in Toronados Dave….startling how many people didn't know that the group were named after a make of car (Oldsmobile Toronado).

WTF ….what about The Stokies what do they know of this guy?

Wow! They haven't made them for years! Time for a change….

Yes both sides of this "oldie" from last year very good in their own ways

The Dark Soul of Bert Berns is also a good read. Amazon etc.

Sounds like when I interviewed junior Walker in 1983, "Nice Mr Gordy this, nice Mr Gordy that"….

Thats the thing Brian. These records were around in quantity, they're not rare. So it beats me how these prices can be sustainable…..fools and their money etc. I guess.

Hi Ivor, It was my attempt at humour asking if Butch was playing it, since whenever he plays something the price goes up….look at the B side of "I belong to you" by Milton Wright, essentially a UK record (pressed for the UK market in the 70s), and they're all fighting over any copy that comes up now. Anyway I am glad another £25'er on the shelves is worth considerably more than I thought. Hope u r well.

F*ck. I had it down as a £25er too….when did it become so expensive? Is Butch playing it?

Condolences from both of us Pete.
