Hi Kevin I played it at SITC sporadically. Good tune.

Steve Jefferies' sleeves are always worth a scan. Proberly (sic) the best!

Here's a scan

There were 2 Eps called this Mel: DRIFTERS UK ATLANTIC EP 6003 DRIFTIN' VOL. 2

Played this early doors at the 100 Club on Saturday - great tune!

I saw Sven perform live at Fasching a few years ago (before Heartaches was released) and he and his backing band were absolutely superb.

I can remember finding the 1st bi-weekly issue at W H Smiths on Charing Cross station as I headed for my Saturday job on Oxford Street. Thanks to John Abbey and his then wife Maureen for the years of soulful reading and tunes they put me onto when Contempo first opened up in Hanway Street.

Good luck Steve.

Normally listed by dealers in the £200-250 range, though saw one recently for £175.

Hi Cookie I would say you would need to pay approx £1000 for a full set if you wanted one.

Have to say I've never seen one mate.

Hey Sean very sorry to hear this mate - what a disaster! Hope all goes well with L.A. Cheers

Played a few myself: Just you girl - Jimmy Castor Girl you're too young - Archie Bell Get it from the bottom - Archie Bell Whispers - Jackie Wilson What'cha gonna do about love - Jackie Wilson Friends and lovers - Act One Big boss line - Jackie Wilson
