I don't think he got many copies left as he got these nearly 2 years ago and I think all the stone mint ones have gone now. So all he has are a handful of the lesser graded ones.

Hi Mal I know were your coming from. Some titles I see and think, 'that's just putting a high price on a alround average record, just cuz the sound is flavour of the day'. I have shed loads of funky things on my site at £5-£10 , as I don't think they are rare or are unknown, but not that good. Extend that further and I have the same on the site that cover northern, modern etc. Most people on here don't list really cheap, average tunes, simple because if you do that to often, then people pretty soon stop looking at your posts. My take over the years on here is that people DO try to put up the more interesting or what they think are the more sellable 45, nothing more disheartening than listing 20 titles and selling none. Now none of us know everything, so one mans high priced 45, due to his knowledge or lack of it, can be a mystery to the next. I found if you get it wrong someone will soon tell you your way to high, or as happened to me in the past, of the 5-10 copies you have nearly all sell in a heartbeat as you are way to low, but hey thats fine, all part of the game. Yes I do find records very cheap in sales list on here, Facebook and Ebay, but I also pay £500 + for 45's I want and know I might not see for a long time in the future.

Very true Steve and even if it is unknown to the general UK scene it is often known on one of the many other rare soul scenes, funk, lowrider etc

Hi Rob & Mark could be that the producer did it as a re-issue, PG in the 70's hence the name being the same as his initials. But the the family in Detroit that owed Gloreco also owned the rights to it, so he must have done a deal with them or not and hoped they wouldn't find out. I'm also sure that someone in Detroit told me that the family weren't aware of the other release, so the plot thickens. I'm sure I wouldn't pay much for a PG copy, all in all something ain't right there. As for Johns valuation, none of us know everything.

Your right Benji, that type face on the PG looks like late 60's, early 70's. Just wrong for a record that came out in the early 60's. Plus so much of the info on it is wrong, looks like a rushed pressing.

I must admit the PG one does look all wrong.

I know the Gloreco copies are the Detroit release of this, but whats the story on PG label copies on these the song is credited to Tony Clard, not Tony Clark, just a spelling mistake or are these bootlegs.

Tuesday 7-9pm Back on the air gain to 2morrow nite GFM Radio https://www.gloucesterfm.com Last weeks problems with listen again have been fixed, so if you miss the show, it will be on the stations site within an hour. Hope some of you can join me, great response to last weeks show.............

No need another member of the group came on here and discussed the group in general

Funny enough, I had a record covered up as Spaceark, a member of the group contacted me and said that isn't us. Explained the whole thing of c/u's, well a short version, he thought it was funny and was happy to let me carry on. Did change the name to something else though, after some thought decided it sounded more like another group.

BBC 4 is becoming the new BBC2

And now Voices Of East Harlem, almost glad I didn't go to Cleethorpes

Gotta get to a dentist soon, either my regular one of a special trip up to Manchester !!!!!!! Peter Was a more in depth and honest program than I expected, bit like the BBC of old, Steve

I really enjoyed that

Totally agree Pete, all types of black music have great and shocking tracks in there, but it differs to each ear. I think it a matter of tone in postings, if your getting lots of insulting posts, maybe, and only maybe, it might have been something you said and not even directly. Yes you know exactly what I mean, as I said, your an artful jouster and a very intelligent guy, you know full well how to press other peoples buttons. Where as other are just clumsy in their postings.

Agree Pete, you don't do that. But you are an artful jouster and know well that some of your comments will really piss some off, you enjoy it, so don't come the injured party. Make bold statements, then know full well that someone is gonna react.

Peter, don't get so pissed. You open with 'These are just flash in the pan records collected by a handful of people that will be totally forgotten in 5 years though.' dismissing all of the genre out right. You continued to focus on points you disagree with, never once agreeing with anyone's point, just those you disagree with. So some take it offensively and respond in a less than polite fashion. I always enjoy your jousting, but like to have fun with you to, as you know over many years on here.
