That's true Jerry. Always frustrated me that my copy had the 'wrong' label on it . It was apparantly withdrawn to make room for the release of Edwin's 'TIME' which came out on TMG 725 in January 1970. Sean

Similar would include: Jackie Moore - Precious Precious Denise Lasalle - Trapped By A Thing Called Love Maybe she's thinking of one of those! Sean

Nope

Nope. Sean

Yep - 80's Reissue mate. Sean

Agreed. Arkwright is the r r r rrrr reeeeeeeeeaaal deeeealll! Sean

You can count on it mate. Sean

:thumbup:

I've got it Pete. Gold label. Nice Crossover! :-) Sean

I have 3-4 different mixes, incidentally. All very good. Sean

Correct Martin. Her name was Sepandiya. I had the track "Thank You" as an exclusive for around three years. Was a big track for me at Soul Essence etc. There's a long story attached to it, but the bottom line is the producer could not get approval to use the Motown sample so it got shelved and then later snook out on the CD as a 'bonus' track. Sean

Five!

Sorry Pete, didn't see that. So... that's four of us then :-) Sean

You're in Brother R. Sean

Ahaha very interesting Ian. I bloody love Laura Lee (on pretty much everything she's ever done) but you might be the first person who's ever agreed with me that on 'To Win Your Heart' she ruins a bloody good instrumental! Sean

Bargain of the year, Dylan. As you say, an absolutely FANTASTIC 45. Sean

Definitely early 70's first time I heard the rumour Rod (72/73). Tony Turner on Musicor!!! Think after 40 years, if it was out there it would have turned up by now! Sean

The killer track on that CD, for me, is the Universal Jubileers "Childhood Days". A storming slice of Gospel Soul! And very rare as a 45. Just a great compilation (IMO). Sean

Hi Dave, "I Hate To See A Man Cry" was on the flip of the Blue issue. This appears to have been superseded by the Orange press with "Gee You're A Pretty Thing" on the flip. That's why I think your copy was mislabelled during the transition. Sean

mmmmm 10 cents a pound............ thats how Tats was buying burgers, when we were in Kentucky last month. Must have spent well over 100 dollars! Sean

I met James in 1979 - at the height of the DISCO boom - on a market stall I used to frequent in Bawtry, south of Doncaster. The guy running the record stall was called Chris (from Leeds, as I recall - he later opened up a shop in Leeds, but that's another 'amazing' story). I was going through the boxes, when this tall, suited, distinguished looking gentleman peers over my shoulder and started making comments about the stuff I was picking out.... 'ah, that's a good one'... 'mmm... that brings back a few memory's' etc... I thought he must have been having me on - he didn't look like anything like a Soulboy so I struck up a conversation to see if he was for real. Could have knocked me down with a feather when he told me who he was. We talked for over an hour. He told me about the time he saw the Spellbinders live in New York and how great they were, all about when he had dinner with Van McCoy and so on... a mine of detailed information... all bloody mindblowing stuff. As a Soul DJ I always considered his column essential reading - even though I could never get fully to grips with BPM's and all that mullarky - his descriptions were always superbly crafted. Sadly, he passed away in 1996, but I'm glad to have had that one 'chance' meeting with him. Sean

I'd have said 1975/76 mate. It all went downhill from about then!

Made me smile that Chalky! Searling & Green - one of the best comedy double acts ever But wasn't the music bloody awful. Sean

Some thoughts here. Groovy! Sean

Always thought it was an Ian Levine thing. Sean
