and Wayne it is TORONADOES !!! I have seen them credited as TORONADOS (same spelling as the car) but are they credited anywhere as Tornado(e)s?

'You're The Best In The World' - Flip of Johnnie Taylor's "Disco Lady" which was the first certified platinum single (two million copies sold)

Surely he should of been alerted to the fact it was a boot when the ceiling fell in each time he played it

I take it it is not an Italian release then?

No amount of cleaning will make 'Miles Ahead' sound like 'Kind Of Blue' !!

I can understand you being nostalgic about the nights held there - its the people and music that make a venue after all - but it is just a scruffy old derelict hotel !

Look forward to it Steve!!!

Seem to remember Steve Plumb had a good few a few years back (must be 10 years or so) and included them in his 'famous' £1 sale on Saturday afternoon at Soul Essence - I picked one up! Hope he does it again this year

anyone have a mint or mint- copy for sale? Let me know total cost Many thanks Mike

harmless fun? you can cut that out Mooney or I'll take you down the Erimus and give you a good hiding

Always loved 'Daddy's Baby' try ...'Love Is Like A ramblin' Rose' too.... My favourite falsetto singer by far - be it Okeh, Ronn or Alarm

However, is does fit into a box designed for 7" records :0)

Always loved the ABC cut of his classic (the one on Roulette 45 also?) - came out on Soul Bible Vol 1 on Probe in the UK...

My favourite - I Wish It Was Me...

Robin - its one thing just nipping in for 'a few minutes' to look at a 'few' records as we are passing , another nipping off for four hours for a round of golf!! We must catch up when I get back - hopefully we'll be off winter greens by then!

Many thanks Kris - appreciate that.

Any tips for records or Soul related activities in theses States - spending sometime there next week driving down from Raleigh to Savannah. Any pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike

Don't know how I managed this - but meant to post this as a link to Dave Harrison who asked about it in the 'Am I The Same Girl' thread - seem to have 'promoted' this original sales post!!!!

From the RCA album earlier recommended by Dave - great version of the Jaibi classic....

oh that - but why would that be referred to ? I only made one or two comments about the Mecca - how would that be remembered I was not offensive was I ?

eh?

Oh no - another 8 days discussion about a box of records no one has any intention of buying

I think 'bootleg' was traditionally a term used by Rock fans to describe previously unreleased material - be it live or studio recorded stuff, for example Bob Dylan's 'Great White Wonder'. '(Re) Pressing' is a better description of what is a facsimile of an 'official' release. Never ever heard the term 'bootleg' used to describe these re-pressings.

its pretty Deep and Soulful for the rest of the night too - albeit marginally faster

At least now its over you can all stop worrying and get your life back to some kind of normality
