Its a great record, one of Motown's greatest and will always be a great record. One I will never tire of.

One of my all time favourite 'SOUL' ballads along with Dark End Of The Street and Eddie Parker's But If You must Go.

Can't disagree, every era has its share of casualties and turkey's that succeeded despite, in retrospect being very poor or even worse. Like you say, one good thing about this scene is always someone willing to dig that little bit deeper and dig out that one, two spin wonders and give them another go. Incites extremely rare though and suffers maybe because of its obscurity, as do many records.

Cheers Kev, nice to know who and when etc. I know Minsh was playing it early 80's. Why did it bomb btw? Tempo too slow?

I was told Seven Souls was played at Torch and Wigan but didn't take off till getting on a decade later??

Oh really useful box do a larger one that holds 200 45's and one for lps as well

I've recommended the really useful box for sometime. About the same size as cardboard counterpart but obviously much stringer and waterproof. You can get them in different colours if you wish to clour code your record storage

I was wondering which one we were talking about

it's the flip of Give Me Some Skin

Nothing is impossible but the outlay compared to the returns would probably be off putting. Besides tracking down original vinyl, paper and especially inks would be extremely difficult if not nigh on impossible.

Sad time, thoughts with his family and friends. R.i.P. Baz.

Speak to the Dig Deeper guys, some great footage of his appearance there.

Triple B it's cheap as chips but the deepie on the flip of the MAM release is simply awesome.

Gotta say fabulous selection of records.

I have listened to both shows whilst driving today, superb both of them with some quite pleasant choices. Nice to see the BBC making an effort. The Atlantic Records Story, the two Sam Cooke shows and now this.

Ooh pedantry What if it is pressed with the 3rd, 5th or 25th offspring stamper? Are those only done with the first set of stampers the original? What happens if it was recorded in the US but never released yet picked up by a UK label Some people like to come out with all sorts of b*llocks and confuse an already grossly confused scene for the sake of it You can't do one press to satisfy all countries, they have to be done independently. Therefore each country it is pressed and released in is the first issue of that territory. A re-issue is a later press to satisfy renewed interest and demand in a record. I don't think anyone else in the world considers London issue a re-issue Now please someone close the topic

He is very much into "Northern", a collector and an old Wigan boy. He got in touch with John to say so.

Everyone's idea of collecting and what and how they collect is different though. UK releases have held little interest to me over the years, much preferring to collect on the US release as after all US Soul music is what I collect. Each to their own, I'd ,such prefer the Revolt demo, yes I'd love to find one of these London Issues but it would be sold PDQ to fund more of what interested me.

Look forward to listening. Great interview with Richard Brooks last week too. Thanks for the music this past year Mick, Seasons Greetings.

Re-issue my arse. It is a UK issue, (albeit one that was withdrawn) just like Revilot is a US issue.

I can understand that if it was eBay but there is no advantage with JM as auction gets extended and those you may have beaten on eBay would have time to rebid.

Something we do agree on.

The 1st, 2nd, 5th........20th time maybe, but over thirty years of constant hammer? They say familiarity breeds contempt and this is a classic example. Besides it isn't in the same league as Darrell Banks.
