Check under settings - seller - edit shipping policy as most likely place to cause the problem cheers Sutty

So, to expand on the songwriter part, if a songwriter had not signed a publishing deal or its expired then the song is ‘copyright control’. This relies on the writer registering their song with every local royalty collection agency worldwide (UK PRS, USA ASCAP or BMI, etc). All royalties are initially paid to that local agency, and from there passed on to the songwriter (cop cont) or collected by the publisher who takes a % as a fee. The reason an artists signs to a publisher is to obtain an advance in royalties, and if the publisher is any good they register the song with local royalty collection agencies worldwide so the artists doesn’t have to. Anyone with a song that gets decent plays is highly likely to get more money via a publisher as if they don’t collect every royalty they can they are losing money as well. So when you are talking about a 50 year old song, assuming it’s still in copyright, written by someone unpublished and who has not kept their contact details up to date, plus licensing a recording from a company owner where the company no longer exists, then all those personal disputes that go on about who owns what, the lines on the right people getting paid can get very blurry, so yes lots of artists never get paid a penny. None of which excuses bootlegging. cheers Sutty

Unless anything has changed, the record company owns the rights to the recording for the term of the contract after which it defers to the artist. This is the owner if you want to license tracks for release. music played for instance in an ad is publishing royalties which go to the publisher of the song for the life of their contract and after that go to the songwriter. Cheers Sutty

Thanks for the ‘word of warning’, I’ve bought a couple of tickets for one of the concerts so what I’ll probably do instead is stay in with a pot noodle and have a hand shandy over an old soul fanzine while listening to some decidedly non-hit soul vinyls regards E. Holland, Detroit

Which is not the same thing as being the same song at all lol

Completely different songs?

Unique Blend on Eastbound?

Seen it all now, $25 opening bid for a Jimmy Tarbuck bootleg^^^

Definitely Alton Ellis on the b-side. Pretty farcical if such a tenth-rate reggae double sider takes preference over the hundreds of superior JA vocal 45’s that could have been picked, I love both those artists but wouldn’t bother even picking that up for a fiver. A-side came out on all-tone and is Slim Smith.

I love the sales where the seller asks way above any reasonable price they’re going to get and makes the point that if no-one pays the price ‘THEY’RE GOING BACK IN THE BOX’! Here’s a bit of advice, don’t bother taking them out of ‘THE BOX’ lol Not sure I’ve even got a ‘BOX’, what do they look like?

"Top side is of course, just killer Northern Soul, flip it over for a fusion tortured Deep Soul smoothed with a delicate crochet of male harmonies" a what? Lol

The album is a longer intro than the 7 Paul

https://www.discogs.com/artist/2101017-Malone-amp-Barnes-And-Spontaneous-Simplicity the title track is a fusion instrumental subtitled 'tribute to Paul Robeson' but not aware of any 45? cheers Sutty

I assume everyone knows 'positive forces' is the other side to Tavares 'never had a love like this before', they're both great versions

I know someone who t-cut his sales. They looked great but sounded like total sh*t and I got a full refund. Ok if you're pulling a one way sales scam but not if you want to actually listen to them, cheers Sutty

It's not Little Jimmy Scott, he was a jazz singer

Started work in a 2nd hand/junk shop, first morning went through about 50-100 lp's under the window, all Val Doonican, Jim Reeves, top of the pops, usual charity shop stuff and in the middle, J.R. Bailey LP on MAM. Worked there for about 2 years, never had another decent soul record walk through the door or in any house clearance.

"McGee would revisit the composition later in the decade, dressing the tune with drum machines and synthesizers for a run of 12” singles. However, this 45-only version from 1976 captures the progressive soul stepper at its most organic." this original version is not 45-only, it was also on the mentioned 80s 12" as well as the original 7. One of my favourite 45's of all time, good release, cheers Sutty

That pic in YouTube is clearly a fake, this doesn't exist on 7" unless someone finds one from Thailand or Outer Mongolia... the only way to get it as a non-lp track is on the b-side of an Old Gold 12" cheers Sutty

No

I may be way off the mark here but there was a post I read on a blog and can't now find where someone stated they knew Arnold and he had been killed in 1996, which led me to this article. Check the back of LeRoy Hutsons 'Feel The Spirit' Album where Arnold is listed as a backing singer and the guy front right of LeRoy looks very much like the same guy, and the age could match. Very sad if that's how his life ended, unsolved gory murder possibly part of a serial killers victims :/ Hopefuly i'm way off the mark EDIT: actually the more I look at the LeRoy cover the more I'm convinced it's the Arnold 18 years earlier than this photo...

Yup, that's some real classy sh*t rofl

It is definitely Bran Van 3000 'Astounded' slowed down, it could be one of the remixes on the CD single only. The Eric Kupper and MJ Cole versions are on vinyl and are more similar to the one you posted than the album version. The intro is so long it's more than likely someone has edited it to make it longer too, cheers Sutty

Really? I forced myself to watch them all and it's even worse than 'vinyl' and that was pretty cringing and got canned. The only redeeming factor is some of the music, but it's farcical on the whole - the acting, script, and continuity are awful, the dance routines are laughable, and that 'set me free' track is just really irritating. Apart from all that I loved it, particularly when it got to the final credits and I thought 'thank f**k that's finished'
