Marvin re-edit? there is a 'revenge' bootleg but it's not very good https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/356162-01.htm The original 12" is cheap and is the same as the album version but with a nice loud cut, and there is an extended version on the 'in our lifetime' double cd. cheers Sutty

it's on 4" single with his lp

fittest singer ever, could even sing while doing weights

'Fine' (that's a song by her btw) - although many will claim it's not for reasons below... Whether you like it/Whitney or not, she is a soul singer in the same way that anyone at motown was a soul singer/black pop singer. Most of this thread is more about 60's music fans not liking most post-60's productions - which is fine if that's your taste, but don't start rewriting history to accommodate your personal taste in music, especially as it's a scene that lists records by Patti Page amongst its plays lol (how much is that dooggiiiee in the window....) cheers Sutty

Might be a more convincing argument if it was backed up with something a bit deeper than quoting a comedian. Maybe you should consider where people like James Jamerson and the funk brothers came from, what they spent their spare time playing when not in the studio, and how jazz along with r'n'blues and gospel were the foundation of 99.99% of the music discussed on this forum and played on the soul scene, rather than shallow second hand sound-bytes from latter-day media figures in the UK. As Godzilla is saying (I think), blanket dismissal of an entire genre of music is pretty misinformed and reflects more on the person making the criticism than the music - IMHO. cheers Sutty

and an even better 3 from them 'love takes tears' 'raining through my sunshine' 'children of the ghetto' cheers Sutty

from the 90's a very small selection from the south, junior giscombe 'morning will come' esperanto 'glad that you were mine' young disciples 'apparently nothing' joanna law 'softly as in a morning sunrise' groove nation 'slow motion' mica paris 'you' cheers Sutty

I think you mean 'free jazz' Mart, all jazz is improvised, that's the main thing that differentiates it from other forms of music. I wouldn't bother quoting Tony Wilson mr hoppopitimus, he was a self-publicist who was more interested in making sweeping statements for effect than really saying anything, he was a wind up merchant (albeit a very funny one with a catchy line in banter, so respect to him) Either you like jazz or you don't, that's it really, nobody's right or wrong on it. I'd prefer it if you all didn't like jazz to keep the price of jazz records down. cheers Sutty

I don't think that was an original lp, it's an 80's release (comp), they didn't release the 1964 version of 'who's that lady' on anything other than the united artists 45. The 70's version on epic was a massive global hit of course, but the '64 single bombed and didn't get any release outside the USA. It took me years to find this 45, very elusive, and in the end cost me about $3 as a chance find. If it was on stateside i'd be surprised as i've never seen it listed in any discography, and the UA LP doesn't feature the track. It is available for download on amazon for 69p though! cheers Sutty

I know where you're coming from

The 'Hot' lp is not rare just wait for one to turn up, it's a common lp around a tenner. Also contains 'So Long' which is better then 'Sentimental', neither the 45 or the LP should command any great price. cheers Sutty

yes it did in Argentina at least, here's a scan of my copy cheers Sutty

It looks better to the eyes aesthetically, but for usability it's got worse for me in that I don't want to see a load of scans of labels when searching for a record, I just want to browse through a list, and that won't improve for me when the pics are replaced by actual record scans. The more info on a page the better that's relevant for what i'm looking for, with an option to click on a list entry and see the scan if required, would be the way i'd prefer personally. So much that in reality I won't be using the site very much to search for records, as it's ease of use has diminished. Congratulations on the nice design, but it's design over content for me at the moment, which can often happen with websites, but as John has said it's an ongoing project, so i'm not trying to kick anyone in the teeth over it, these things take time... don't lose your eye on the prize (selling records) cheers Paul

Everytime this record is mentioned I have to smile, I sold a copy years back to a very well known northern soul dj and promoter, it was a good deal both ways so no complaints there. What made me laugh tho' was I went to post it, and on the way back home popped into a local shop and opened up manifesto. The record was proudly sitting at number 1 in his last months 'top nighter dancefloor reaction spins', which was pretty amazing considering it had not even been bought yet alone got to the sorting office at the time of printing lol

its the same recording Russ, just not remixed or sped up. 'Tell the Story' is a house bootleg of 'Jesus Children' by Stevie and Be Be Winans which was the official release. Played it when it came out to much rolling of eyes at the time, one rather well-known soul dj said "is this soul music then?" at the time lol, and to be fair, it's actually not sounding all that good again really for me. The original 12 is great - and check Shirley Caesar's cover which is very good too. This thread is possibly the most absurd thread i've ever read on here. cheers Sutty

never mind the real USA one - what about this lot with money to throw down the pan! lol https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/newli...tionItemID=4014

Most soulful - John Coltrane - Alabama Least Souful - Eric Weissburg - Duelling Banjos

If you're talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zvwTukSKoU it's actually this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg6ebyhPPOk it's not doctored at all, it's the official 1980 12" release (new recording by same artist) Curtis never did the track. here's the intruders (we'll be here all night with the amount of covers though... cheers Sutty

If you're still after this i've got a USA SOUL issue with the instrumental on the b-side for £5 plus post, vinyl and label M-, just drop me a PM cheers Sutty

hi Derek Here it is on a 45, cost me £3, has been discussed on here before, Catch up soon! cheers Sutty

Hi You know they are the same number? as the change was the way numbers were advertised to make them easy to remember. TY is 89 on a telephone keypad, so "DIAL 045 SOUL NOW!" would be 045 7685. Just in case, i'm not sure quite what you're asking about the numbers exactly, but there's no change in the way the numbers work in that example, cheers Sutty

Damien - if the ebay system will let you do it, raise a dispute anyway even if you're out of time. I raised one last year for non-delivery of not much, I think around a £10 record, from an ebay seller and raised through ebay then escalated to paypal. Paypal closed it as out of time. A week or so later I got a £20 credit in my ebay account and a nice mail from them saying my custom was valued so here's some money to spend on my next ebay purchase. It's worth a try if you can get through the system, try contacting ebay explaining your situation outside the dispute system if you can, you can phone them in the UK too if it was a lot of money. Paypal weren't interested but ebay were suprisingly responsive. cheers Sutty

No UK shipping. However, all you have to do is join the Army, as they will SHIP TO AFGHANISTAN and IRAQ! Obviously got more reliable postal systems over there. Muppets. cheers Sutty
