Always thought this version was jazzier, any chance of a sound clip sepia Cheers Paul

Simon M Ledisi's performed many a time in the UK, I shoukd know I've seen her 5 times there, once in Holland and 3 times in the States Think Wade O"Brown is on at the next Prestatyn ? Would have mentioned Jerry Butler myself Mr G .....................but I"ve seen him Nice thread Cheers Paul PS So I guess its still 'Retha and The O"Jays for me

Las Vegas Connection "Running Back To You"/"Can"t Nobody Love Me Like You Do" (Hep' Me 169) A copy went for 396 quid on that nice Mr Manships auction a couple of weeks ago. So I thought I'd put my copy up for offers exclusively to fellow soul sourcers. Vinyl is Ex (plays minty, minty) labels are clean I'll accept offers above 200 quid untill 8pm (UK time) Monday 29th October Offers by PM please all bidders will be informed of other bids by PM or text if you prefer Winning bid will include paypal and recorded delivery post charges (sorry its paypal only) I"ll try and put scans (photos) up in the next couple of days, can't do soundclips but those that need them PM your phone number and I'll call and play it you down the blower Money back if you're not happy for whatever reason Good luck and happy bidding Cheers Paul Woosnam

Aretha Franklin would be my first choice I think, closely folloowed by The O"Jays Cheers Paul PS Wouldn"t say no to Archie and his Drells either

Yep you're right there Bernadette, I remember a documentry a few years ago where one of the employees on that night was saying they were bringing Marvin Gaye LPs along to burn (blow up ) with the "disco" records I dunno.................. they'll be burning books next ! Cheers Paul

A "flock" of Back Door Kennies, JT Trouble ? I would have thought a "pride" more appropriate surely Is it these sheep that trouble you. James ? Cheers Paul PS That last bit was from Mr Sid Bridge btw PPS Both of us "wooliebacks" love Disco

Used to have 'Funky Eight Corners" Lonnie Youngblood on either Turbo or All Platinum (Can't remember which) I used to think ''Ton Of Dynamite'' 'used' (sampled) the sax from this...............dunno if I was right and I don't own the record now to check, but I'm pretty sure the rhythm section was very similar too. Could it be Frankie Crockers record was one of the first hip hop sample thingamagigs ? Cheers Paul

Yes martyn was thinking this myself, thats the one with Pt 2 right ? Also want to know which stock copy came first Cheers Paul

Yes martyn could do with a lie down meself ! I think they're all legit too just would like to know which came first Cheers Paul

Well........................... I"m glad this threads cleared something up !!! Thanks Netspeaky Cheers Paul

Hi martyn Does the "triangle" mean delta ? Cheers Paul PS And what does provenance mean ? Er lol

Mike, I was very worried reading the forum page "Soul Source Competition Ken.." Trying to imagine our Ken as a game prize Cheers Paul

Thanks for that jinx74 So your stock copies are the same as TOAD's so different to mine..............so I still need to know which is the original ? Do you think that the RE-1 in the numbering suggests a re-issue ? Any ideas about the instrumental release ? And whats with the "Operator, Operator ! " promos ? Cheers Paul PS Sorry missed that "delta" bit

Hi fabsoul69 You might have more luck looking for "Seven The Loser " rather than "Looser" ?? Cheers Paul

Wasn't there .........don"t know the record ...........but seems to me if one DJ has the original acetate and another plays a carver then thats right out of order Cheers Paul

Hi Chris, The Elanore Mills is the most expensive I reckon The rest are not worth much I reckon But.................Wilson Pickett features "How Will I Ever Know" Jerry Butler & Brenda Lee Eager has a track thats been played Ditto The Moments All the rest are of course great soul LPs but monetary value is probably not that much (shame) Hope this helps Cheers Paul

How about 'Just Being Myself" ? Cheers Paul

Aahh that could well explain it Joe, I was getting carried away thinking ,sound engineers and all sorts of nonsense Cheers Paul

Hi martyn, so it looks like there are promo and stock copies of the instrumental JOE TORQUAY, theres no eddie foreshaw in my run out groove don"t recognise the name pehaps jinx74 will know who he is My 'Accept Me As I Am" side has cisco 01-01 (mr stamp) triangle 99029 in the dead wax, is yours the same ? Cheers Paul

Thanks for that Eddie I think he"s on here hopefully he'll see this thread and respond. So far then, there appears to be 2 stock copy issues (going by the dead wax numbering) Also a white promo copy of "Operator, Operator !" stereo/mono Stereo side dead wax is cisco 01-02 (mr stamp) triangle 99029-x (this is the same as my stock copy) Also a white promo of "Accept Me As I Am" stereo/mono Also an instrumental of "Operator, Operator !" with Pt 2 on the flip (stock copy, and different numbering) Phew and this threads not been up 24 hours yet ! Sean I"d like to know about the "Accept Me............" promo please jinx74 I'd be interested to know the numbering on your stock copy please TOAD many thanks for the sound clips I hadn"t heard either before, I was thinking maybe the RE-1 in the dead wax of your stock copy suggests its a re-issue ? Many thanks to everyone whos contributed so far and special thanks to Mrs Shrews (and her glasses) for helping me read the dead wax numbering Hopefully Mr Rushden will post something later Cheers Paul PS Just an idea but what do you think a Tom Moulton re-mix would sound like using the vocal/instr a la Fantastic Johnny C "Waiting For The Rain" ???

My "demo" has cisco 01-02 mr stamp "triangle shape" 99029-x My "issue" has cisco 01-02 mr stamp "triangle shape"99029-x The plot thickens................................where are you 'jinx74' ? Cheers Paul
