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

To question of all people Kenny Bobien's commitment to a performance or the content of his lyrics (re: his religion) is absolutely laughable. He's a gospel singer who religiously (excuse the pun) attends his church every week, has never got anywhere near making enough money out of music to make a decent living, and is still out there singing out of his love for music and his God. All the comparison's to the people mentioned fail because they were commercially successful artists who had massive hits, if Kenny was only in it for those reasons he'd have given up years ago. Whether the track floats your boat or not is a personal opinion, but to base the fact you might not like it as much as one of his older recordings as questioning his ability or commitment is just ludicrous and insulting to him. I wish there were more like him in the world, it'd be a better place. cheers Sutty

Don't know if it's the right price, but there's a copy of the Frankie Nieves 7" on the wall in the Soul and Dance Exchange, Notting Hill (London), just saw it earlier this evening, priced at £40 42 Notting Hill Gate London, W11 3HX Tel 020 7221 2793 cheers Sutty

Hi Dave Sold a mint copy for about 90 or a ton I think it went for last summer, took a couple of months to sell, reduced it from about £120. cheers Paul

That's a very good price, it has been going for over twice that. Try and get people at a soul do dancing to Pharoah Sanders lol, REP just gets away with it, although I also prefer the original personally like Andy cheers Sutty

PM'ed ya! cheers Sutty

There's at least 12 copies on Discogs starting at £1.49 for a minter, cheers Sutty

compared to 'a case of lovemaking' laughable, alma faye is complete rubbish, surely DJ's aren't subjecting other people to this nonsense are they, it's a second rate eurovision entry! cheers Sutty

NOW SOLD. Record has now found a new home to live out it's twilight years in comfort and will be annoying a new set of neighbours. cheers Sutty

Well seeing as a fellow sourcer's 7" of this just sold for over £90 with 6 bidders on da bay, if anyone who missed out is looking for a copy I also have a M- copy of Gil Scott Heron 'Lady Day and John Coltrane' c/w 'When You Are Who You Are' on Uk Philips 45, identical to the copy sold on ebay. £90 including registered post to anywhere in the world, paypal accepted at no extra charge to the buyer. Drop me a PM or mail soulcitizen@yahoo.co.uk , first person to mail gets the 45. If no-one on here was one of those outbid then i'll stick it up on da bay. or make me an offer... cheers Sutty (opportunism is my middle name )

and the album is wonderful, not a duff track on it - 'if i could only prove to you' is 70's soul perfection, you might even like it a little bit Pete lol

thanks for the answers on the dynamics guys, Sam's bonkers selling that! cheers Sutty

I can't see how this applies to this forum or situation? isn't this a clear case that Mike is saying if you are using the forum for personal attacks, pack it in. Seems entirely reasonable, like Mike i've also been running a soul forum for a long while and we have always had a 'no personal attacks' policy. Asking for a member to desist then suspending their account is sometimes the only way to deal with the equivalent of the loud mouthed offensive irritating drunk in the pub who's spoling everyone else night. Of course the drunk blames the person throwing them out and then abuses the pub in general for not wanting to have him around, but that's because some people can't see further than their own nose. Best of luck Mike and all, hope it works out ok, and thanks for the time and effort you all put in to the forum. cheers Sutty

Is Sam still playing Dynamics 'Only A Man'? is it really the Dynamics on Dyna, has anyone else got it, and when is someone going to let the rest of the world be able to play it at home, it's fantastic IMHO

they're all like that Chris, there's no solid centre of the 45, and the other side is even better. cheers Sutty

Hi Russ On Original 45, NO, it doesn't exist, LP only. Was reissued on a 45, noticed that Soul Brother have the reissue for sale. The absolute killer on the lp for me is 'don't blame me', which floors me everytime (although you can't dance to it!) cheers Paul

PM'ed you back fella

i've got a demo that looks a bit rough but plays ok with a few crackles, I think most folks describe this as 'fine for djing' lol it's cheap though - £10 including post in the UK of it's any help. But don't expect a minter, do expect a loud recording pressed loudly that does not skip. you can me soulcitizen@yahoo.co.uk - edit: just played it, looks and sounds much better than that description which was from memory, i've bought records described as excellent worse than this! cheers Sutty

i've got it on the moments meet the o'jay's album - which contains loads of killer tracks. I don't know which did and didn't make it to 45's, but if anyone's looking for caning northern sounds from the o'jays and hasn't go tthis lp - check it out. 'Ride Your Pony Girl' is fantastic, just a different sound to the tracks i'm talking about here.

all the 45's of this i've heard are really noisy, bad surface noise even when they've never been played? or are there copies out there that play clean? it's on a couple of moments lp's too, one UK and one USA, and the sound is perfect (in it's own way, it does have that sylvia robinson distorted production about it anyway). There's also a bizarre version on a 70's US indie album by 'pedro and the hands of time' or something similar, where he's taken a load of Moments tunes, split them into strict stereo and added a bit of echo, then he moans and sighs over the top. On the sleeve he claims it's his new album and he's not making anymore as he's found God and is going to be a pastor. He is featured on the cover in thick rimmed glasses leering rather suspectly over some girl in an evening dress on a bed while the rest of his 'band' look on. I forget the full title of the lp, I managed to sell it for a tidy sum to a Jap sweet soul collector years ago where it's in demand evidently... presumably for the cover. cheers Sutty
