I got a table at a local record fair this weekend to sell off some LPs from various collections I'd bought, and came away with the following 45s: JJ Barnes - Poor Unfortunate Me / Ring Barbara Mason - Don't Ever Go Away / Arctic demo (already have a stock copy, but couldn't resist the demo) Marvin Gaye - Take This Heart of Mine / Tamla demo (in the Tamla sleeve couldn't pass this one up either) Brightlights - Motor City Funk / Silver Fox demo and Wild Ones - Bowie Man / UK Fontana beautiful copy of this UK freakbeat 45, which I was shocked to bump into....) + about 15 others

Seeing how I live close to Trenton, NJ, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the soul labels that were from that city. One of the labels I've seen on e-bay is Lucky Lou. Can anyone help with a discography for this label? Here's what I've managed to find: #812 The T.N.J.'s 'Two Girls' / 'I Got It So Good' #813 Natural Facts ' What Time Is It?' / 'Girl Don't Cry' Any others? Any details on this label would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

I used to be much more obsessive about it, but in addition to soul and funk records, I also collect USA releases of UK mod / freakbeat / psych 45s. Now I just keep an eye out for the ones I don't have. Also used to collect 50s thru 70s jazz 45s with a passion, but these days, it's only the small label stuff that really catches my attention.

my wife and daughter are out of town for the weekend. got some beer on the way home, and am playing the cds and going through some records. sounding real good everyone. balance of my cds will be in the mail tomorrow.

Have to say that the CDs that have shown up are great. Nearly done with mine, hope to have most or all in the post tomorrow.

only one I know of is The Sounds of Black - Sounds of Black pt 1 / pt 2 45 LS1931

Really like the flipside of that 45.

This is what I do as well at local shops and flea markets. If it looks like its soulful, in half way decent condition, and the price is right, I'll take a chance.

Apollas - Mr Creator / WB Thought this was a bit too fast for me, but some of the lyrics have stuck in my head. Kindly Shepherds - Lend Me Your Hands / Checker New one to me, quite like it. Patience Valentine - If You Don't Come / SAR Bobby Bland - Turn On Your Love Light / Duke Tommy Ridgley - In The Same Old Way / Ric

Looks great.

Please put me down for two copies. Thanks very much.

All records cleaned via an ultrasonic cleaner and play graded. Postage is $6 World / $3 USA. Please PM to reserve. Shock 'Footsteps Across Your Mind / Why Should I Forgive You' / Sirocco Footsteps plays M-, flip side plays strong VG to VG+. Sticker residue on 'Forgive' label. $35 Mark Murphy 'Why Don't You Do Right / Fly Me to the Moon' / Riverside Record has a few light marks on it, and the label is VG. This is the white / red label press (demo?). 'Do Right' plays VG++, flip side plays strong VG. $60 Jimmy Jones 'Walkin' / Pardon Me' / Roulette demo Pardon Me label has sticker + discoloration from another sticker being removed. Walkin plays M-, flip side plays VG++. $75 Thanks for looking.

I pretty much agree with this.

Here's a bunch I bought at a record shop last weekend that are sitting outside of my box: Harry Caldwell - Nobody Loves Me (Like My baby) / Carnival Little Joe & Latinaires - Crazy Baby / White Whale Yolanda Karr - Leave It To Me / Ra-sel Della Humphrey - Don't Make The Good Girls Go Bad / Arctic Three Pieces - I Need You Girl / Fantasy demo Joe Bataan - Johnny / Mericana Jeanette Williams - Stuff / Backbeat Rena Faye & Teddy Bear Co. - Do It / Melron Ethics - Sad, Sad Story / Vent Ethics - That's The Way Love Goes / Vent Sunrise Movement - Clockwise Revolution / Ghetto Shock - Footsteps Across Your Mind / Sirocco The Fantasies - Mesmerizer / Whiz Sly, Slick & Wicked - Love Gonna Pack Up (And Walk Out ) / Bad Boys

That Ideals 45 is brilliant. Just knocks me out every time I hear it.

Anyone help me out on a price for Jimmy Radcliffe's (There Goes) The Forgotten Man / An Awful Lot of Cryin' white demo 45 on Musicor? Thanks, Dave

I believe the yellow v. black "The World Today" 45s are different recordings of the same tune. I remember this being discussed on the funk45 board a while back.

I have a copy of this. Not a bad tune at all. I like how unpolished it is.

absolutely fantastic tune, and I agree 100%.

Angela Jefferson - I Can Feel Myself (Slipping Away) / M-I-C Marion Black - Who Knows / Capsoul had this on Avco for ages, thought it was time to get a Capsoul release since the price was right Darrow Fletcher - What Is This / Uni The Sensational Cymbals - When Will It End / Jay-Walking Butch & The Newports - Out Of My Hands / Black Rock The Impressions - Sometimes I Wonder / ABC This is utterly brilliant. + a handful of Motown demos

September Jones - I'm Coming Home / Kapp demo unfortunately, the song has been stuck in my head since I sold it.....

For some reason I could not find the Luther Ingram 45 on crazy beat last night, but it is there now. That's what I get for impulse shopping when I'm tired.....

Thank you for posting this up. I almost missed the Otis / Barbara & The Browns 45. Unfortunately, could not find the other 45.

There is an adaptor for cleaning 45s on the VPI. Unfortunately, I do not have a VPI to comment on how well it cleans.

according to the jazzdisco.org website, this 45 was recorded in September, 1968 PR 45-709 Eddie Jefferson - Psychedelic Sally c/w See If You Can Get To That
