Ian got them from either a band member or their manager or maybe one of the bands uncles, I forget now what he said it was years ago - i'm pretty sure he's not related to anyone though lol, he just got them through contacts, etc. Ian scratched out the addresses on the labels to stop people finding his source, I bought one from him when he got them and he'd just sold one to Keb who stuck it on a comp. cheers Sutty

Some people really need to do a little homework before shelling out that kind of money for a latter day bootleg of a non-existent original 1977 12". I notice the wording on the ads is somewhat ambiguous describing it as a 1977 recording but also saying original 12", which is pretty lame and slightly deceitful marketing from the sellers points of view... but if someone is willing to pay the money for a counterfeit, who can blame them for taking it? cheers Sutty

A guy I was acquanted with that used to own record shop in Brighton bought those Gospel 45's from the James Hamilton auction, I remember seeing the box with them in, nobody was interested in them so he got them dirt cheap. Unfortunately he was so paranoid about not getting top dollar for every record he ever sold that he never even let anyone look through them, he kept them in the back of his shop. After he sold the business he presumably let them go as a job lot to make a bit on top, as by then he'd probably realised he isn't actually a very good businessman at all and gave up trying to run a record shop... and he is a complete tw*t, and I have told him that and more to his face, although my disagreement wasn't over these particular records and his mindless paranioa, it was some other records and his mindless paranoia and conning me into pricing up a collection for him then trying to rip me off afterwards, but you live and learn! lol that mighty clouds of joy 'pray for me' pictured is a hell of a good record! EDIT - I see the guy posting the records got them off the man in question, at least they've gone to a good home! DOUBLE EDIT - it's MIKE who has the records, they have gone to a good home. cheers Sutty

Drop Simon a PM Pete, he's a partner in Immediate Clothing on Sydney St in Brighton and specializes in original vintage/retro 60's clothing. Jump The Gun on gardner st is the mod shop, Simon's not involved in that and they sell newly made look-a-like clothing not vintage. Got a fantastic full length original 70's heavy leather full-length trenchcoat in amazing condition here if you want to look like someone standing outside the casino in 1975 cheers Paul

Much as we'd all like to buy it, you've got a long wait for it on vinyl, it doesn't exist, so alternatively, go for a legal download and play it off your phone if the CD is out of the picture cheers Sutty

Quite why any children would want to attend an all-nighter in the first place is a mystery, never mind what the adults think about it Leave the kids alone, they don't want to be going out with their parents!

There is no original 12", it was an LP track and also promo'd on 7", but never released as a 12" until maybe about 10 years ago, so you have a reissue. cheers Sutty

aye up Bri hope you're well, it was probably more than 6 years ago now i'd think as we left Montpelier nearly 5 years ago. That would have been a CD I made for Kath and Jez years back that they copied for you guys up in Barnsley, 'Montpelier Ballrooms' was our top floor flat on Montpelier Road in Brighton, the scene of many late night parties back then. We had one where our long suffering neighbours downstairs asked us if we could calm it down a bit, so we said "oh, is the music too loud", and they said "it's not the music, it's just that all the pictures have fallen off the wall in the front room" lol I used to play the track out almost every week when I had a residency down here with Derek Jack under the name 'soulcitizens' as well as various guest spots. Although most of her material is pretty bland for me, there are a couple of her other albums after that one that are one-trackers and have really nice steppers on, you can pick them up for peanuts. 'We're gonna make it' is great, b-side to 'Never can say goodbye' if i remember, probably set you back at least £3. Glad you liked the cd, it's all about sharing the music IMO, catch up for a beer next time i'm in the socialist republic of south yorkshire fella, cheers Paul

try the b-side There's hundreds if not thousands of soulful reggae tracks with this sound, so where to start? there's some Junior English tracks on my blog, he made tons of what you're looking for on 12" and LP https://constantlyevolvingsound.blogspot.com/ cheers Sutty

Great post and so much better to read than the childish personal slagging's posted a couple of times earlier which had nothing to do with the thread and say more about the poster than our beloved "soul octegenarion'... lol so he didn't copy any notes anyway then?

The LP is the same recording as the 45. The LP is in strict stereo, the 45 isn't, pan the LP to one side and you get the 'non-orchestral' mix that people talk about. Play the LP over a PA where it only outputs one channel and it sounds like it's non-orchestrated, or make your own non-orchestrated version at home cheers Sutty p.s. I would upload it but if I go to Refosoul to upload it says I am not authorised to view the page and the site doesn't allow any other form of music transfer up here :/

I've got the LP on UK verve, the LP is the same version as the 45 on Folkways. What you can do if you want the 'less orchestrated' version is what a badly setup p.a. that only plays one channel does... Record the track from the LP to your PC with Audacity, then select the channel where the drums are and the strings aren't, remove the strings channel, and then make the track mono, and bingo! you've got the non-orchestrated version... got it here on my laptop did it years ago, sounds much better. cheers Sutty

Fisher Price are the best sound for 45's as far as portables, better than the soundburger by miles. Adapt the power in socket on the side to a headphone output and it works a treat, had one for years and years. This is the ltd edition you REALLY want but the basic is great I'm not kidding, these things are superb, I sold my soundburger once I got one of these. cheers Sutty

we always called those 'flatties', worn with white toweling socks by 'boneheads', but they were much more rounded and flatter. The black ones were plain black, but you could get brown with different colours/shades of leather where they overlap into each other on the toe. Finished off with blakeys in the heels of course. I found a pair in an old shoeshop in Lincolnshire around the early 90's, the guy had a treasure trove of 70's mens shoes in a back room including loads of ridiculous platforms, all mint in their original boxes. Just bought the one pair, think they were about £30, and went back a few months later and the whole lot had gone, someone must have just walked in and bought the whole lot in one hit, cheers Sutty

I did some work a few years back for a major UK international airport and when I was walking airside in the middle of the night between locations, I saw royal mail packages and luggage that had probably fallen off whatever was transporting them just sitting on the grass by the runways. I went back twice more over the next 4 or 5 weeks and they were still there unmoved, so anyone saying that post doesn't leave the UK - doesn't surprise me at all... cheers Sutty

he's good, but he's not as good as Anthony Hamilton

LP only I think, 'all because of you' was the 45, never heard of his version of 'lucky fellow' being on a 45? cheers Sutty

hey Nick! Don't really know why were discussing this on t'internet when you live 2 mins away but hey, whatever lol I have the one with the kid on and it's not the same tracklisting as the 'sound of soul' lp: where did peace + go fly away love bird instrumental (which I don't remember seeing listed before?) aren't on mine, three strikes against me is called threes strikes on me, all my friends call me a fool + darling i love you are not on the sound of soul lp but are on the kid cover one. where did peace go was also on the free angela lp, as were some of the tracks on all the 3 version on here, so looks like Larry Saunders is a bit of a minefield when it comes to working out what he licensed to who whenever? catch up soon cheers Paul

friend of mine emigrated to the US and got a job at KGLT Montana radio doing a Sunday night jazz show and got given free reign of their vinyl jazz vaults. When he came back to visit a few months into his show he brought me back some really nice albums on labels like Mustevic, Black Jazz, Tribe, etc - hard lp's at the time over here going for money, all for nothing, there was 2 copies of each lp at the station and he could take what he wanted from the duplicates, they all had the station written all over them in marker pen. Anyway, stayed in contact and once he got back he phoned me one Monday to tell me he'd had a look at the Blue Note catalogue there, that they'd said the next weekend he could go through them and take what he wanted. So he goes in the next Sunday very early in great anticipation, walks into the room, and the shelves are empty. Goes and asks where the records have gone, and the secretary says "oh, they all got put into a skip last Tuesday and have gone to the dump to be crushed, we need the space for the cd singles..." AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they haven't got any stock, they copy other people's catalogues and put them up at ten times the price. if they 'sell' something they try and buy it elsewhere cheaper, otherwise say it's out of stock. usually have a low amount of sales to number of items in their non-existent catalogue, not much feedback, slow delivery times. don't know how they get away with it, but they seem to still be on there, hi to seller HAL, etc, you nobs... cheers Sutty
