Well if it's as cheap as Walter Jackson I can stretch to that!

woo hoo! Glad to be of help. Do I win the best soul source adopted uncle competition? Buy mum the single for her birthday, imagine the browny points! Here's the mp3 Walter Jackson - Touching In The Dark.mp3 Walter Jackson - Touching In The Dark.mp3

All part of the service from us reluctant geriatric teenagers!

If it is it's still a cheap record and imagine how pleased she'll be if you get it for her birthday! Get it here if it is https://www1.gemm.com/c/search.pl?field=MUSIC&wild=touching+in+the+dark&picklang=%2Findex.cgi%3Flang%3DEN%26clickflag%3D1%26&Go%21.x=18&Go%21.y=12

Had a similar discussion about another single sided Sapphires track previously /Sapphir...oes#entry446877

jeez i'm in shock...such a talent...totally stunned. ">

well just a quick one...I was at stafford TOTW THAT night Mr Thorley played it first time as a Mel Britt cover up .....been hooked for the last 20 years ever since!

How much you pay out of curiousity? Just wondered what the going rate is these days.

This isn't just soul - it's Rare M and S soul I think I have too much time on my hands!

Deffo a different take....piano more prominent as you say..vocals slightly different too ...wish I'd seen it too!

Think you missed the point there...made me smile though

"Thou shalt not wear baggy trousers, badges and vests after 1979 especially when over 40" (God does this get my back up...is it just me?)

ooohhh...it's my avatar! Got mine for 400 notes recently...always seems to be this price on the rare occasion you see this ace record for sale!

Just been on youtube and watched the moloko familiar feeling video along with obviously the duffy video amongst others and just had a thought that is the scene actually being given (be it clandestinely) some credit by the mainstream, as the best underground music scene to ever have happened in the UK? I'm sure if we were all a generation younger and the fact that this wonderful scene is now tainted by all us old gits loving it for the last 30 years plus, I reckon given the attention (at least visually dancing/clubwise if not musically) it has been given, it would be a massive happening underground fashionable scene again and if it wasn't for the generation gap (meaning youngsters don't want to go to clubs where their mum and dads dance) would be the biggest happening scene in the UK? Have a feeling it wouldn't be as us purists would like it of course being an ex TOTW regular, but all the same think a younger generation have the potential to embrace it in a new way? OK it would be a bitter pill to swallow for me and possibly feel that our scene was being plagiarised and very likely end up bitter and twisted about it, but who am I to deny a new generation? Your thoughts? Be especially interested to hear younger peoples thoughts on this.

Ha ha...the two blokes smoking are mates of mine Sal (Garry Crook) and Nobby (Marc) Holland from Shrewsbury....this will give the wrinkly buggers a laugh! Have "touched" it up a bit with Adobe Photoshop....thanks for the pic!

All very true...must admit I went to the Northern Nationals in Melbourne a couple of years ago and it was really refreshing to see people in their 20's and early 30's (only a very young 43 myself I might add!) dancing to what is a (relatively) new refreshing scene down under and considered quite fashionable and happening and not just full of old gits like us!

mmmm....remember paying £90 for my issue of Howard Guyton at about the same time...and what do you know...it's still bloody £90!

usually around the 100 notes mark but can be lucky got mine for £50 on easybay

Well I suppose on a personal level I'm glad it's turned up in numbers (did hear 24 but also heard 100!) as it's brought the price range to something I can just about afford. After all it is a record I've wanted for over 20 years and never thought I'd be able to afford a copy. Guess what you pay is always relative to the time and somebody will always get it cheaper (ok I'm trying to make myself feel better now )
