Syl is well worth picking up. I've p[layed it out a few times the last 18 months. "Same Kind Of Thing" on Twinight ain't too bad either.

Had a listen last night for half hour or so Derek, excellent stuff. Will listen some more tonight.

I used to change my players on a weekly basis as was never satisfied with RP. I was recommended Jet Audio and now use nothing else to play any format of audio file. HIghly recommended, it is a fair size download but well worth it. The only other player I have is musicmatch which I use solely to convert to mp3pro. These are half the size of a standard mp3 but with no loss of quality. Convert a wav to mp3pro at 40kbps and it is roughly the same size as an RA but the quality is far far superior.

Deffo 143 IMHO, it's clearer in the mix, the horns etc stand out that bit better IMO.

Syl Johnson - Try Me (Twilight/Twinight). £10 and Northern Soul through and through. Has everything you want in a dancer.

I prefer 143 (probably cause thats the one I got ;-) ) 152 has more bass and balls to it. If Mike has no objections (or Ady cause he's released them on CD) I can post some ra's for you to listen to and compare. Having said all that just buy one of them, Northern Soul as good as it gets and cheap @ £25.

Dunno, I'll go and listen ;-)

Roy Hamilton was I think one of Elvis' heroes.

Oh and the two Calla releases are slightly different vocal takes and probably slightly different in the mix. You can hear the difference.

Butch's version is far better, it has male backing for a start and finishes the record off IMO. The other two just aren't ther same, although superb Northern Soul.

One went for a lot more some time back, £650/£750 if I remember rightly.

Not a lot you can do. You can leave him poor feedback but he will then reply in kind and f*** your rating up. You could report to ebay, they may suspend his account but all he has to do is re-register under a different name. You could also watch his future auctions like you say;-) Know some who have done this.

Paul's and Jock's arrived today. Got some serious listening to catch up on;-) Cheers guys.

Was a quantity turned up not so long ago.

Cheers Scotty. I know the Stanson release is pretty rare, like I said great bit of soul IMO. Will listen to rest of cd soon ;-)

did anyone manage to tape the show? And you missed a good night at Sheridans Derek ;-)

Nope and as far as I know not been booted. Expensive too!

Great slab o' soul. Not a dancer by anyy stretch of the imaginatin but good. Bite his/her hand off ast £150. Manship not far wrong either, it's on Philmore Sound.

Doesn't do a lot for me either Billy. If it was a common record would it still be played and talked about?

Scotty's CD arrived this morning, not listened yet but loking at the listing it gets off to great start Sonny Craver. More deep than midtempo but great track none the less. Only seen this on Stanson. Whats on the flip of the Musette copy?

Can't remember the last time I saw one and I've seen very few over the years actually listed. Last one was £150 and the one before a ton. Great record that should get more exposure IMO.

I almost certain Dave Raistrick had a Jerry Naylor - City Lights last week when we went through his stuff.

Have posted a sound file in sounds of all places. Don't think it's ever been put on cd.

Hi Dan, Syng McGowan was on my wants list for ages after I heard it at Andy Dyson's, Janine finally got me a copy for me birthday last year. Great record IMO. I've played it out two or three times since getting it. Sir Ceasar old Big Joe Turner cover for Pat B, superb, just a pity it's on styrene ;-( Donald Jenkins not sure of price, have seen listed a t aa ton recently. Jimmy Burns always loved this since hearing Steve Smith spinning it :-) Larks shouldn't be expensive but this took me absolutely ages to get and still rarely see it, other side a cracker too, one for the next swap :-) Teardrops you should get a copy fo0r about £30, see it listed now and again, Thanks for the comments.
