Guess what, I had the answer right in front of my eyes all the time. Open up the booklet for the Troubleman extended double cd, and there is a picture of part of label for "T" Plays It Cool on a Tamla Motown 7", pink, red and orange label. Came out in Turkey in 1973! good luck! cheers Sutty

Its very well known, its almost identical to the original and a remake was done better by Onur Engin a year or two back on a 12, and the combined cost of both originals on this 12 will set you back less than the price of this 12. Apart from tha its great, as its a great recording, as it always was

On Juno in the Uk for £7.99 if anyone is after it. I just picked it up for the b-side which I really like, a-side leaves me cold but I'm not into all this 'funky northern' racket lol Cheers Sutty

There is no legit 12" of Eddie Kendricks 'Date in the rain", it was a 7 and album track from 1972, there were no 12's in 1972. The one with Diana Ross is a bootleg, basically the song repeated with some thunderstorm sounds dubbed on.

I'd also be interested to see it or know the cat number, as it doesn't exist in the Tamla series from that time? That wasn't the 45 from the album. https://www.globaldogproductions.info/t/tamla.html cheers Sutty

Don't believe this exists? Last time I said that about a record I was told I was wrong despite there being no evidence of said records existence LOL - happy to be corrected of course! LP and bootleg 12 only? Cheers Sutty

Really to what Pete? Did the skullsnaps come out on EMI France, yes it did, my copy is French. Did they find them there? I was told 300 unplayed copies in boxes, but like I say guess we'll never really know as anyone that went in there will be keeping schtum I expect! cheers Sutty

I remember hearing about this at the time from someone who knew one of the people that got access. The owner of the warehouse passed away and none of his family knew anything about the property, and it had been untouched for 30-40 years (as you can see from the state of it). One of the family went to look at it, opened it up and went 'OMG!!!'. I tried to get a lead on it but was told it had 'gone', presumably because they knocked it down as it was semi-derelict. Something about a rare Psych record that was $500+ and there were boxes of them, untouched boxes of the Skullsnaps LP (which came out on EMI France at the time of release so could be right), and many other finds. Evidently with the Psych stuff in there, if it was all put on the market at once the arse would have dropped out of it for collectors price-wise. Guess we'll never really know! cheers Sutty

Theyre on the south coast, One of the guys came to port soul when I played last month and we had a good chat at the bar about the music afterwards, nice guy and knows his stuff, big soul fan from northern through to modern. They are named after Curtis and worth checking, Cheers Sutty

are you sure this exists, 'stone love' is the album title not a track? cheers Sutty

Well I wouldn't be surprised to see a 'bargain' David Ruffin album in a Sales area near here @£50 in the not too distant future LOL

What you're failing to realise is that in between the time of me posting and you guys checking discogs, the copies I was referring to have been sold....

There are several David Ruffins on discogs right now between £5 and £22 and they're all mint-, in other words they're mint and have been played a few times. Obviously the most expensive is the UK seller LOL

he can burger off at those prices

Wotcha! Yes, before my time here but I was entertained by a certain south coast promoters tales of breakfasts with the major in a Hove establishment. Ten years after ML had died. And back on topic, my parents met at the glider, and the assembly's about to reopen as a nightclub so maybe ML will make another comeback from beyond the grave

It was £8.99 on Juno last week...

Aww man, Shelby Lynne 'I'm leaving' is on there, absolute all time fave, nice one! Some great clips.

Been in Boston, Lincs quite a bit this year and use the wifi in Cafe Nero. Of all places to hear it, it was the best selection of modern day jazz and Latin ive heard, I started Shazaming while drinking my coffee and every visit was discovering loads of US and Italian jazz from people I'd never heard of on labels i'd never heard of. Are they all like this, never usually go in. Cheers Sutty

thank god the 'blip' didn't affect the cheaper items. cough.

been discussed before, they have different printed times on the labels, but they are exactly the same recording and length, so you'll be listening to the same thing on either label. great record.

Doreen Schaffer does a sublime version on Studio One, if anyone's interested! Cheers Sutty

reminds me of a German guy who wanted a 50% refund off me for a minor crease (and I mean minor, could have easily been done when he took the record out of the mailer)) on the corner of a sleeve described as M-, as he already had 12 different copies of the same LP so the sleeve condition was the only thing that mattered to him. If people have these specific things that they want from a sale that are frankly not exactly 'normal', then the buyer really should make their criteria clear before buying/paying for the record, otherwise it descends into this kind of nonsense, IMHO.

The word 'brave' in relation to playing this tune is frankly ludicrous, nothing personal but really, this is about as safe as you can get at the moment! not a lot of other house records that are perhaps less like pop music being played are there? cheers Sutty

this has always been popular from '76
