Hi Mike, Kell Osbourne took literally seconds, no more than 15 seconds from this end. MP3 pro is normal mp3 quality yet less than half the size. I encoded to 40kbps for the Kell Osbourne and it is around Real Audio size but far better quality.

uploading above, 5 minutes past by and then got microsoft internet explorer cannot find etc...... I've got 8meg broadband too.... I'll stick to mp3pros can I recommend getting Jet Audio and doing the same Think musicmatch does mp3pros too

Yopur mp3 could be on the large side? I convert to mp3 pro and they are around 800kb / imeg and they upload in seconds rather than minutes. I'll do an mp3 test of Heartbreaking Truth - Don & Juan which is 2.28 minutes long and converted to mp3 @ 128 kbps.

Got that one mate but thanks anyway

Misplaced a few scans and mp3's Looking for an mp3 of the flip to Small Things on New Bag, Nothing From Nothing, alos scasns of both sides. Also scans of his Revis and Rayco outings (rayco as Ozzie Osbourne). Cheers

Agree with you Russ entirely. There are some top sounds on the cds and the liner notes are great, the cds are worth purchasing but like I said there are a few tracks that will be of no interest to most soulies.

agree with you Dave, good way to hear something different, worth the money I paid just for the read There are some excellent tracks on the cds, BArbara Stant probably the berst. For those who don't have the cd's, I've scanned the SheepHerders bit from the booklet, photo as well Hope you can read and see it.

They will no doubt have been done using same plates, especially as Cole did them himself. He admitted in a snotty reply to me that the he did 300 for family and friends, these are the ones without the arrangers name on, and that these were never officially released so therefore boots and if wanted a true original they had to get the second issue with arrangers name, it's all on site somewhere. These just happened to be what had stock of and was selling. More have been pressed in recent times, the different version you mention. I remember telling him he at the time he either had a lot of friends or a big family I doubt anything can convince myself or others that anything but the ones with no arrangers name on are the true first prtess and that any others were pressed later after hearing of demand for the record, and after all who can blame the guy.

Personally don't think th O'l Virginia Cds are that good doubt you could make one good one from the two IMO I've listened twice, second time just to make sure I was right in thinking that they were pretty poor over all. Few good tracks IMHO and thats all, and I don't think much of the Sheepherders either

I've seen anywhere between £200 and £400 if this helps.

It will be from the family, Eligah Cole pressed up the re-issues at later date....the original first press is as said.....many times over in several topics. I'm not certain mate but Butch may have one? He did a while back but not sure if he's sold it.

Excellent Dave. Amazes me why records of this quality never make it past a studio disc

Have seen for £140 recent months, think it was in a box at the Wilton.

You're right there was one and it has finished, $365, cheap I was going to say but it's cracked. Scan was for the flip....

Where, search threw up Dusty Wilson Can't Do.....

another that went through e-bay, seems not too many good ones about gotta agree Pete, it is awesome and only really heard Butch play it out. Used to get a good dance floor response too.

Mutt 15907. Last one I saw for sale was I think £1200 This scan from one that was sold on e-bay, cheap IMHO, mind you it don't look too clever

I've Pm'ed you both

Seem to remember some turning up not so long ago, blue label, and selling for around £800.

I saw a vg+ copy go for just over £300 18 months 2 years ago. I still think it's worth 4-500 these days. Your right about it being no newie though Pete, was spun mid 80's.

Didn't look at flip Mel but African Twist I presume Thats what I have in a listing as the flip.
