New series of "Tulsa King" has arrived.

I'm going to say Del-larks ... but I really can't decide which side I hate more ...

And a somewhat less interesting me in there too ...

Kitch first then Butch picked on up on e-bay as I recall , think it's uncredited on the two acetates.

Sounds like a blend of bits of Duffy-Mercy and Right Said Fred-I'm Too Sexy ...

Same heads-up applies for tonight folks ...

I'd assume the info's from Soulful Detroit forum. https://www.discogs.com/artist/635121-The-Lollipops

Wasn't referring to John's flowery prose but the unnecessary hyperbole seen on here ...

How many folk do you think actually get swept away by hyperbolic record descriptions and their associated over-inflated asking prices ... ? Especially when a simple 2 second search can easily quash some of the claims.

If they're metal then they'll be stampers made from the original lacquer. They might look 'playable' at first glance but they're a negative impression and the 'grooves' are in fact raised so they cannot be played.

I only recall Ady playing it throughout the mid-late 90s so I guess that's when the swap took place , unless Mark had a few stashed away in the back of his box or under the table ...

I've always associated "Love is a trap" with Ady. But a quick search on here shows me that Ady got it off Mark as a swap for Ernestine Eady.

Seeing numerous reports all over Facebook from family members that Pat Lewis has passed away ... https://www.facebook.com/pat.lewis.9615

Three for sale on Discogs so not exactly hard to find.

That's the "re-issue" that's not a reissue. A totally different compilation that happens to use the same sleeve as the "original" I assume the person who put out the first one had more covers printed than LPs pressed and decided to use them up on the second album , with a different rear tracklist simply stuck on the cover. Strange that you can buy it on Discogs as it's obviously a bootleg.

Gulls always head inland at harvest time then tend to hang around for a while before heading back coastwards.

The powers that be changed the General License a while back so we can't just 'remove' them as easily these days.

Just seen this post over on Facebook and thought I'd share it here ... From Ady at the 6Ts Rhythm and Soul Society. "Diane Davis has posted that her husband Jesse Davis, passed away this morning after a battle with Alzheimer’s. I met Jesse and Diane when Jesse came to sing at the 6TS Rare Soul weekender in Cleethorpes in 2009. Jesse’s Northern Soul classic ‘Gonna Hang On In There Girl’ had been a massive record since the days of Stafford all-nighters in the 80s and the chance to get the original singer on stage for our crowd was irresistible. Making the show even better were his earlier big beat ballads, some fabulous 70s recordings and a touch of jazz. Jesse was primarily a nightclub jazz singer, based on the west coast, living in San Diego and recording primarily in Los Angeles. His arrangers included Rene Hall, Arthur Wright and James Carmichael which is a measure of the quality of his voice in itself. His first recordings were on his own Jaboth label in 1965 and 1966 and included the atmospheric ‘There’s Room For Me’ and the captivating beat ballad ‘So Full Of Love’. Both records gained much attention from European DJs and collectors in the 90s that made them expensive and treasured items. In 1967 Herb Newman of Era records signed Jesse and cut him on the brilliant, uptempo Sherlie Matthews song ‘Gonna Hang On In There Girl’, it came out with two different B sides but failed to sell or attract interest until the Northern Soul scene eventually made it a dancefloor favourite. One of the flips, ‘Night Blooming Jasmine’, later caught on with jazz-loving mods and had a separate revival of its own. The Era follow-up ‘You Don’t Need A Crown’ was more pop than soul and failed to gain many followers. Concentrating on his live performance work, Jesse built a big following in California, particularly Palm Springs, where a date witnessed by Frank Sinatra would lead to Frank recommending Jesse to his Las Vegas contacts. They were happy to employ him in the city’s nightclubs. Jesse went back to releasing his own discs and came up with the excellent ballad ‘They Call Me Mr Lonely’ on his new Essence label; the song was penned by Kent Harris’ sister Marcine. There were several albums on Essence throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, mainly recorded in San Diego for sales at his ever-popular gigs. UK Kent issued his self-penned ‘I Never Could Have Made It’ from his 1979 album “Hollywood Gypsies” on a Masterpieces Of Modern Soul” CD and several album tracks including ‘Hollywood Gypsies’ have been played at rare soul venues around the world. Australia became a second home for Jesse through his stage show and he spent many months there even rcording an LP during one stint. When back in California, he often worked on television shows and films, as both a singer and actor. He and Diane made lots of friends on their visit to the UK and we kept in touch through FaceBook and the occasional email. It was great to witness the pair out at local jazz clubs up until quite recently and though retired, Jesse would often be called on stage for a duet or to perform a jazz standard. He will be greatly missed at home and abroad.

A bit 'horses bolted' I know , but any time I've sold anything online , rarely I must add , I've made sure to take good quality photos of said item with a dated item , newspaper usually , just in case of this very scenario occurring.

Get recording it , can't beat a bit of entertainment like that ... Glad it's not just me ...
