SOUL Music fans collect LP's. Sean

That said, most decent DJ's played it off the LP as a new release. Some total bull talked lately about what can and cannot be played. LP tracks have been played FOREVER on the scene. Get it bought - Get it played. Sean

The 45 has done the rounds. 3 x copies for sale here for around £30. https://www.discogs.com/Sharon-Jones-And-The-Dap-Kings-Tell-Me/release/1636110 Sean

Amazin, was given this by a lad at work, back in '72, for the same reason Dave. His fave record was 'Cool Jerk' so I can see why it wasn't really his cup o' tea, in retrospect! :0) Sean

As Bob suggested; With slightly different title. A fave Linda Jones Loma 45 of mine. And the Mamselles 45; Sean

Always in the box; a crackin, fingersnappin' Soulful Jazz vibe... ... just got to love it! :0) Sean

That's the worst record ever.

Yep- - the flipside is a goodie Dave :0)

I had this covered as Roscoe Shelton at Bradford Queens Hall, early 80's. Think I've still got it somehere with the odd bit of old sellotape on the runout grooves, lol Buy now from Flynny - One of the best guys to deal with on the planet, in my experience. Sean

As an aside, anyone ever seen an issue of the Millie Jackson? Cos I havent. Sean

After five laborious, confusing and often nonsensical pages, this one sentence made it all worthwhile; "kick me in the bollocks if you must, but at 63 I could'nt give a toss" Wonderful stuff! Thank you. Sean

PM Sent John. Cheers, Sean

Hi John, Hope you're well mate. What would be the timescales on this? Busy time in my life, but might be up for such an adventurous concept :0) Sean

Marvels Advert from Oct 1969 showing 3 members. Annette Snell was certainly solo by this time. Incidentally, I once saw where she'd signed a little spot on the wall, inside the doorway of Muscle Shoals Sound, only a few months before she was killed in the Air Crash. Sean

Think the Skipper Lee 45 is probably the rarest Ovide 45. A one-off? Sean

You can't mean Margie Alexander. You must mean Margie Hendrix. Some good photos of the Clyde Killen collection of Posters on Flickr. Here's Joey Gilmore; 25 Great Posters here; https://www.flickr.com/photos/clender/sets/72157603899711082/with/2257572581/ Sean

Despite the 3 and 6 on the matrix, I'd have thought the Orange was first and Yellow second. The Typesetting on the yellow is as used on later issues, and typical of a product remaining on catalogue for a while after first issue. Sean

The Detours is a cover of Bobby Moore's "TryTo Hold On" on Scepter which was a Massive Disco hit mid 70's, written by Harold Beatty. I've known about the cover since it came out, never thought much about the group behind it; it's just a cover of a Disco smash! Got me curious now though Bob Best, Sean

Midnight Mover is a fantastic book. Worth 56 bucks of any Soul fans money. Sean

I picked this up in Memphis a few years ago for a couple of Dollars. Seen it go for crazy money, but I did see one go through eBay in the past two weeks for about 15 bucks. Sean

Great thread folks. :0) Just remembered I have a small label version of 'Be Thankful For What You've Got' by the Deltones. It's a really raw 'crossover' sounding thing and it must be a rare one, but sooo cool. Must give it a whirl sometime. Sean

If you bought it recently from the states, off eBay, probably came from Rick Hall's son, Rod, who has raided his Dads shed in recent months. He's also selling the George Jackson Verve issue. Both immaculate Original stock copies and great Soul records. Sean

Hi Rick, Think it came from (and was found by) Ian Dewhirst, if i'm not mistaken. Think I heard that Steve G owns it now, but don't know that for a fact. Sean

Amen brother Roger. Sean

Difficult to keep up with all the 'rules' Roger. I suggest an online Rule Book, which could be continuously updated (by the regulatory body, of course) would be a really useful tool for DeeJays. We could check online before a gig, or register to receive email bulletins, to avoid any unfortunate misdemeanours (bearing in mind that ignorance is no excuse). Sean
