Surely Mark won't give up the foreign gigs .The few that I have done have been awesome ! He seemed happy at a couple of the London nighters too . Sadly the london gigs imploded and are no more . Simon M

"At one point, I even tried to locate Lorraine," says Vince Peach, a radio dj and collector in Melbourne, Australia who discovered Rudolph while searching for records connected with Huey Meaux, a legendary Texas producer. But to most collectors, Rudolph's trail stopped in the early 1970s, when she toured with The Spinners as a replacement for Dionne Warwick. Rudolph doesn't know whether to be bitter that her records are selling for money or thrilled that she's discovered fans she never conceived existed. Both emotions come over her in waves. "What can I do to get a piece of this?" she says one minute, then, just a few seconds later, "I guess I am 'in demand' now, huh?" Her big, round eyes fill and she's very quiet. And then: "I always did think I should be in demand.":(

Wow I thought Mark was joking . He sent me an email last week saying he was retiring . So I sent him some Fly fishing books on Amazon

But once again thats just a question of rarity

I dont think that condones coverups Steve . Maybe it is all about the money that's involved in vinyl today and no real empathy involved . Being selfish is not a good thing or is it lol If a fresh record turns up . I prefer that its put to the test and the net is a real test of a records rarity for today !! ps . King Moses is still pretty rare , and you paid 5k for that uncoverd . Actually its never been coverd up

I dont think its about money . in the end . Its just about " Was my record any good , was I any good " ( Lorriane R's record is a cracker imo ) I wish I could find the article now Standing on the shoulders of Giants is the saying that springs to mind Steve has been honest , it is a selfish thing ps,. Steve used to be very anti coverup back in the blackbeat days Im sure ? pps. You know what , its possible now that Lorraine could post on this thread , thats whats great about the Internet get your coverups here https://www.raresoulm...auction/latest/ (Belita Woods coverup on Manships)

Surely some of these acts , sitting there in the deep south maybe , on a rocking chair thinking about some of the tunes they sung and wrote would just love some kind of recognition from an audience even at this late stage . There was an article on lorraine Rudolph somewhere on a US website ( can't find it now ) She was gutted her record was a cover-up on our uk scene .

Great price on Manships tonight . Who got that then

No price on rock and co , Chalky

Whatever.

Ian you could always ask the DJ's for an mp3 if you really liked the coverup !

Dont remember that Chalky .

Thanks Dave . By the way I hope Skegg was good and Modern for ya ?

Dave Raistrick to Guy H if I remember rightly

https://shop.ebay.com/mint$$/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 More Modern up on ebay Thanks

Do you like any of the current coverups Ian ?

It was on as a set sale Chalky . Simon T showed me it . I wonder if he bought it ? . It was £2kish .

Its just interesting that some coverups these days , stay coverd up even though quite a few people know what they are , have em and play em . I dont get it , maybe I am old skool after all lol Simon ps Who got that Rita and the T's from John Manships site ?

What if 20 copies of a fresh tune turned up in the post ?

Well once it goes past one or maybe two people its not really that exclusive Russ or is it ? . Im sure others had the B Woods coverup ? and maybe the Eric Lomax c/p went a similar way Theres a few with the Total Warmth coverup now . An iteresting thread . Im glad I know most of the modern coverups , many came from ebay anyway :thumbsup: ps. Only just seen Chalkys reply

I used to phone Soul Bowl . John seemed to know almost everything , even the color of the lable

It does seem to happen Russ . What was it.. the Belia Woods c/p ? and probably others too ?
