PMd you again Alan

Esquires on Bunky

Bob, sounds like he's working on his keyboard while he's sitting IN the bath !

So Pete - are you the original Pete Smith or one of the reissues ?

So , according to this expert: "Issued as a promo only, never a stock copy (copies with orange & yellow swirl labels are fakes!)" https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281064889314?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Apologies if this information has been provided elsewhere on Soul Source, but could someone please provide the names and bio information of the lineup of the Vibrations appearing at Prestatyn , and their connection, if any, to the classic Vibrations lineup of the 60s & early70s ? Thanks.

Need a nice RCA 7" ... not the 12". Don't think there was a UK 7" release , but if there was , that will do. Looking to pay no more than 15 UKGBP. Cheers.

No demo 45s but in fact Capitol throughout the 6Ts regularly sent out promotional 12" LPs to radio stations to promote their product in all the various music genres. These LPs would have about 3 soul tunes, 3 country songs, 5 or 6 pop tunes by the Beach Boys , Lettermen etc. I have about 15 of these LPs , cherry picked them out of a batch of 100 or so that I came across in an old warehouse many years ago . I pulled the ones with all the key soul tunes - Patrice Holloway Stolen Hours, Checkmates Kissing Her , Alexander Patten, Bobby Paris Walked Away, HB Barnum Heartbreaker and many others .... Sound quality on these LPs is unbelievable with Checkmates Ltd and Patrice Holloway being slightly different and superior takes to the 7" released versions.

Which Just curious - which number release did you end up getting ? 1879 or 1932 ?

Hi all Original needed - Melvin Moore - All of A Sudden Mint minus ( or close ). Will pay 500 UK GBP Cheers!

Several of the Motown acts recorded their hits in foreign languages but it's hard to think of any strictly northerm/modern records in a foreign language. Rocky Roberts may have recorded Just Because of You in Italian, Stasera Mi Butto or something like that , but I take it no northern DJ back in the day would have attempted playing the Italian language version , would they ?!!!

Was asked whether there have ever been any major records on the scene sung completely in non - English vocals ? Not tunes with just a few chants of foreign words in them such as Soul Sauce or Danse A La Musique or El Watusi , but chorus and verse completely in foreign language ?

Pete, as usual, you bring sanity to the proceedings. Those who are complaining obviously live their lives 24/7 on this website, brilliant as it is, and expect the rest of us to do the same while ignoring the fact that people sometimes innocently forget, people work and don't access the internet , people go away, people die, etc etc.

Beat me to it Dave , there's been at least two copies of Eddie Parker in Australia for some time now and this latest one may well end up down here too .

Bob, what's the title of the different track , and is it a quality tune ?

Also a bit off the original topic question - is Randy Brown still actively performing and recording ?

Always been in demand with the funk crowd as well ...

Best way to own Larry Santos is on the Australian Festival issue.

PM'd you

Well , if you have put yourself in a position in life where - not by illegal or immoral means or by inheritance - you have accumulated enough wealth to not have to really care too much about paying a few hundred or more dollars or pounds above the odds when you want to buy a record (for example) , then you must have been doing something right and more than likely have a fair amount of brains in your head and/or worked very hard in life to get to that position . As for looks, no, there are probably - proportionately - as many ugly rich people as there are ugly poor people.

Surely very smart if you never have to worry about whether you're spending $6 or $600 !!!

Are you implying that there is something wrong with being rich ?

A mate wants this , says it's gonna be a huge modern revival tune in 2013 and people are gonna be paying 150 quid for a copy by the end of the year .
