as for price, I bought a VG copy on Soulhawk off the bay for $6.00 a few months back.

Although I would like to upgrade. Great tune.

I have Trespassin' on the Compass label, which I believe would be the first press for this tune.

According to the label, Trip has something to do with Springboard, and Springboard was a budget re-issue label that released albums of popular musicians' older material (from what I have seen of the records I've stumbled upon).

fun site. I contributed a few a while back.

Johnny De'Vigne - I Smell Trouble - De-lite

Been after a copy since Ady Lupton played it down These Old Shoes back in 2000 or so and put it on the Anniversary CD - 25 quid off eBay

quality tune.

ok, who wants to be my friend and send me a copy of some quality soul choons?

I friend of mine recently found the Mary De Loach "Move This Thing" 45 on Arctic, and it says on the label "gospel series".

I'm curious how many Arctic 45s were in the "gospel series".

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about this.

you can have my Jamo Thomas for a fiver if you like, clean copy but no pic sleeve

(is that a Euro issue, or did it have a US pic sleeve?)

There's a US release with a pic sleeve.

This seller responded to some "feedback" here:

I have read/heard that the Yellowdemo/Black issue copies where the Jazz series for Verve, anyone know for sure?

I can't say for sure, but I have a number of jazz 45s on this label, and they are all either yellow demos or black stock copies.

I know this topic is concerned specifically with Verve 45s, but are there any soul LPs that were ever released on this label? Just curious, as I have never come across any.

ONE OF THE BEST BEAT BALLDS FOR ME IS BILLIE DEARBORN AND ...."DOWN"..AN ABSOLUTE TOUR DE FORCE OF FEMALE SINGING, IF THIS RECORD DOES'NT MOVE YOU THEN YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A SKA FAN.......AND NOT A TRUE SOUL LISTENER.........

Fantastic record.

Uptights - Shy Guy / He Said Columbia promo 45

Light marks on the vinyl and some label damage, as pictured.

Shy Guy plays VG++ with some light crackle at the intro,

while the flip plays very strong VG for first 30 secs, then improves to VG+.

$150

Jimmy Hughes Neighbor, Neighbor / It's A Good Thing Fame 45

Neighbor Neighbor plays NM, while the flip plays VG++.

Pretty good bubbling of the label around the hole on the Neighbor, Neighbor side.

$30

Please PM to reserve or ask questions.

Standard airmail to Europe is $6, and 45s will be packaged in a new cardboard mailer with inserts.

I have sold on e-bay as fonkysoul, feel free to check my feedback as a reference.

Is there much else by them do you know ? Or on the Label ?

Not been able to find much out.

The vocals are great and it chugs along really nicely

I remember googling m-d-l-t willis when I bought it, and I thought there might have been another single by them, but I've never seen it. I just noticed that you listed the label as Liberty Tower. I believe it is on Ivory Tower, unless you have a different release of this record.

You can order Modern Soul Connoiseurs on e-bay from a stateside seller for probably less than $10 + postage. Some other quality tunes on it as well.

I had not heard the M-D-L-T Willis before, played it a few times tonight. What a great little record !

I bought this blind last year and thought the same thing myself.

think the Sir Guy is called 'let home cross your mind'.

it is.

I probably should give this another listen, as I recall liking some songs very much, while the others left me wanting more. 'Save Me' is a great tune, though.

His columns were ridiculous, a complete waste of paper.

Just another reason for me to stay away from e-bay.

I thought there was a policy of not mentioning an auction while it is still on-going.

I guess I'll have to remove my snipe now.......

The highlight for me this past week was a copy of Arthur Alexander's "I Need You Baby" showing up.

Amazing tune that is unfortunately not quite the VG+ grade the seller stated.....

ps - it's your duty as soul fans to give a li'l prayer for the steelers against the new england patriots today. the patriots are all that is soulless in american football. the steelers have rare soul and funk records *about* them. you decide...

well i am hoping the steelers take 'em down. if the eagles nearly beat them, the steelers certainly should.

don't think this is a tough one to locate. not sure on price these days.

one more:

Here's 3 out of my US pressing of UK 60s releases box:

Presumably there is a two tone Deram label as well as the usual brown/white one.

Yes, I have a few of these. I can post up scans after my daughter goes to bed tonight.

I'm pretty sure I have a US pressing of Eyes of Blue "Heart Trouble" on the orange swirl label.
