Ady, I was in two minds myself whether to take a punt on it ... Let us know if there's some sort of modern/soul/gospelly/dance floor thingy on it, eh ?

Thought that there was always some conjecture about exactly who Larry was , apparently there was no background information on the guy who did "Go For Yourself" on Loma and "That's Just What You Did" on Duo Virgo ... Is this him ? https://cgi.ebay.com/Rev-Larry-Laster-Walk-...VQQcmdZViewItem

Would love to see this go massive ! Was it ever a really big spin on the scene in the early days ? Flip is great too !

Sean , I found 10-15 sealed copies of the Gregg Jackson LP about 7-8 years ago in a shop in Sydney Down Under . It was a shop which primarily stocked religious records. So couldn't be that rare really. Ended up selling them at $20 each at record fairs over the next year or two not really knowing it was a modern soul thing ! That shop also had multiple copies of collectable LP's by Mildred Clark (Keep Trying), Don Thomas on Myrrh, Robert Banks (on Verve with Mighty Good Way) etc etc . Shop no longer exists I'm afraid !

Loads of Canadian soul singers throughout the 60's & 70's, Canada had a sizeable West Indian community. One of the best, if not the best, soul/funk/jazz/(quality)hip hop magazines on the planet called "Wax Poetics" a year or two back did some features on the whole Canadian scene. One great 45 that springs to mind is by a guy called Jayson Hoover , does a cracking uptempo version of James Carr's "Freedom Train" !

Anyone got a clip of Midwest Franchise ?

Anyone got one to sell please ? Not sure what it's currently going for , any ideas anyone ?

No introduction needed for this legend, but I'm sure you'll all agree that this is one of the best 60's soul clips available, this was the original colour promo film for Edwin's monstrous hit from 1968. Super ! Enjoy !!!

Leroy deserves a New Years "bump" !

Yes I agree, Ady Pountain is a DJ hero and a top bloke, and while he never fully concentrated DJing on the scene in the UK you should note that he DID become one of Australia's top soul DJ's when he was living over there in the late 80's early 90's !!! Current DJ heroes in Oz are Pete Morgan and the notorious Ady Harley who should be known to quite a few on here !!!

Mike , excuse my ignorance but where exactly is, and what is, the "wysiwyg editor" ?

Heard off an Immediate LP by PP Arnold , she does an incredible version of the Ronettes ' Born To Be Together ' , perfect for the dancefloor, kitchen sink and all 'Time Will Pass You By' UK production , was it ever on a 45 ? Incidentally, plenty of great PP Arnold dancers other than 'Everything Gonna Be Alright' ... Thanks in advance.

Is that the Curtis 45 version WITHOUT the noises on the intro ??? If so I'll have it please! Please PM me ! Thanks !

Has Stevens & Foster been in Sam's playlist of late ?

What's the market value of this at the moment ?

Yep, superb SOUL LP !!! Another one in the face to the "I couldn't be arsed carrying LP's about" brigade

Thanks Mike , I'll get it right eventually. Incidentally, Pete Morgan at our Sydney Soul night last weekend was telling me how you and him go way back on the soul scene from Wigan Casino days ....

From a 60's US TV Show, this is the business ... great RnB stomper from BB and especially dig the groovy audience providing back up's , then a nice cameo afterwards in which he gives "Lucille " a kiss !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hP_musAJ80

Great and funny clip of Donna from teen flick Beach Blanket Bingo ... Can see this getting some action on the dance floor, as good as 90 Day Guarantee and Blowing Out the Candles ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S_1kakZxbg

Leroy Hutson is truly "the man" ! Look at this sublime bit of Soul Train footage of one of his many classics... Just perfect to groove to for the holiday season ! Merry Christmas all !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btnrg80VLwI

As usual Chalky, you bring some good sense to the discussion ... Personally, I have much less respect for so-called DJ's who moan "I couldn't be arsed carrying LP's about..." as an excuse for just being ignorant & lazy DJ's

Mark, I have the Marcia Hines 45, on Aussie Wizard for sale @ 300 UK GBP , please feel free to PM me if you're interested. Also have the Gloria Scott 45 on Aussie Casablanca for sale , see my earlier post in this thread.

Considering Brenda's status amongst soul music enthusiasts, it's an excellent LP that remains criminally ignored and underappreciated
