Noticed Larry Johnson done the arrangement on Cecil Washington's "I Don't like to lose" on Prophonics. Same name gets the credit for engineering "Talkin' 'Bout Women" by James Wesley Smith on Angeltown. Detroit and LA recordings, is he one and the same? If so I want to be hearing more of his work. Any info or other credits would be interesting......

Suprised to see Danny Moore is 1962, didn't think it sounded so early.

Any advice on how I can hear this now it's off line???? Cheers, Mark.

Demo of Willie's "Good things come to those who wait" dropped through my letterbox today. Gave the other side a glance before playing, "Searching", know that title from Mel Houston on Cez Vista was the thought in the back of my mind as I placed the stylus on the styrene ...intro....thats the tune and a bloody fine song it is Don't you just love it when the suprises are good ones

This Eddie Daye track is a cracking uptempo number, got spins at Allanton niters from Mark Linton if memory serves me. Betty Wilson another excellent tune on this label.

Sorry to contradict you there mate, you must have posted while I was single finger typing I got the idea it wasn't too rare from the fact I , and a couple of mates, got this in the record bar back at the Allanton niters. Maybe whoever was selling then had a number of copies? Can't remember who I bought it from. Seen it on the odd list also. I suppose, like so many records, a small number could have been sold around the same time from a find, and are still in collections of those who bought them at that point.

Lee Tillman & the Secretsz- She's the one I love / Trash -Whit 718 Good record this, seen it for sale fairly regularly over the years, so can't be very rare, I'd rate it about £25, then again I ain't selling mine!! Heard Guy H playing it at the odd 'niter in late 80's, Cheers, Mark.

Good call Used to play this out and about, always got a cracking response on the dancefloor.

Terrible record, hope I never hear it again, no Soul in the vocals and no thump in the backing track.

Nice one Sebastian, Thats Allright best side for me.

Ta Chalky, very informative My copy of Dirty Hearts is R-502 with the flip Before You Go R-503. It also has the Sax's Record Shop graffiti. Anyone heard 505? Any good?

Anyone know any tracks on Resist other than Dirty Hearts ??????????? Info and opinions appreciated, Cheers, Mark.

I'll assume that's an opinion

A cracking record indeed Chalky, should have held onto it :angry: At least I still have Delilah Kennibew on Loma to remind me what the backing track is!

Agree completely with these views, Ebay is open, public and the market decides for itself. If you think a record is over-priced, simple , don't buy it. I totally disagree with mailing people to say things are over-priced, if someone can't be arsed to do a bit of research before throwing thier cash around then thats thier problem. A few examples for your perusal..... I put a demo of Mel Williams- Burn Baby Burn onto the Bay last year, got about 3 bids and sold for about 350 ish. A couple of months ago the less rare issue was sold by a US based seller for about 650 with 17 or so bids. That is closer to Manship's guide.I have 100% feedback and live in Edinburgh so easier to buy from,no import tax,etc.. Same batch of sales as Mel W, I had a defo (daisystamp) original of Alexander Patten, issue. This failed to meet the 150 reserve. A month or so back seen one go for over 300! Should I have been mailing all the bidders on these records bleating IT'S NOT FAIR? Don't think so. The market does decide itself, if you score, good luck to you, if it goes the other way, tough shit!

I sold a copy of Robin Rice on Ebay, got about 40 quid for it a month or two back. Bought a James Wesley Smith from John Manships auction at the start of the year, paid 460 for it, which I thought was pretty reasnable as it was only the second or third time I'd ever seen it for sale. Whats the consensus???

Soul Incorporated - My Proposal - Coconut Groove Ex condition £2500 Plays perfectly, has a scuff about 10mm on the vinyl and some marks in the deadwax where a cover up label was once fixed. "Mega Rarity" is an over used phrase, but not in this case!!!! Cheers, Mark.

Jordan Brothers on ID Records best I've heard

Remember a guy called Geoff played a few times in Edinburgh in the late Eighties had a copy of William Powell. A crowd of us were back at my mates house after the 'niter and I seen it in the flesh..well vinyl anyway, or styrene,whatever I definately seen the record! That bloke was from south of the border and sold up around the time Tedsoul mentioned earlier on this thread, so presumably the same copy? Kenny Burrel definately has a copy now. Agree the vocal aint the strongest, but none the less, a feckin' belter of a Northern record, Powerhouse? that about sums it up!

Hi, got a mint issue if you want it, Mr Manship says 40, so its yours for 25 if you like, cheers, Mark.

Janine, Yeah I've still got it, at the time Rob sold it to me there were only two, that one and Tim Brown had one.That was about '93 I think. Keith Money got one not very long after me, then one of the Aberdeen lads as well. I thought then loads would turn up, as people in Scotland were starting to get thier hands on copies reasonably quickly. Looks like I was wrong!

Rob certainly played the Hyperions c/u as Escorts-"I'm so in love with you" in the early 90's at Allanton and the Claremont amongst other places.The post earlier on this thread saying how he never got the recognition he deseved was spot on. The unknowns he had were friggin' incredible. We wre lucky Rob enjoyed our local night at the Claremont and was happy to come up to Edinburgh regularly playing unissued Groovesville stuff, "Love on a leaseplan", the original acetate of Four Larks "You need love",etc..brilliant toons that were certainly appreciated by those in attendance. Rob put the Soul Inc. track on a tape we gave away 50 copies of as an anniversary thang, c/u as Cecil Washington "It will Last", the following month everyone was talking about it and the track became a big sound. I was lucky enough to buy the record from Rob a few months later and was mighty impressed when the c/u label came off to reveal Cecil had written the song and the Propnonics Studio address around the label.
