'Great Expectations" Tamla LP track. One here: https://cgi.ebay.com/KIKI-DEE-Great-Expectations-soul-vinyl-LP-/350346894499?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item51924d5ca3 Sean

Another interesting one. German Stax Copy (or so it says on the net). Same number too! Sean

This is the UK Copy of Cafe Regios / Shaft. The one pictured above is definitely not UK, although they both have same serial number. Sean

Looks Lebanese to me John. Sean

No, you're right Dave. Count me out mate! Sean

Eddie told me about this last night. Great idea Rich. If you can squeeze me in I'd love it. Cheers, Sean

Drifters - Up On The Roof Ali Ollie Woodson - Drama In The Bedroom Vivian Copeland - Key In The Mailbox Chairmen Of The Board - Working On A Building of Love

Lou Ragland on Since You Said You Were Mine Sean

That was my BooBoo, Rich. I lead you on the rocks mate. Sebastian is right. "Who You Gonna Love" is CT 003. Sorry, Sean

Neither of those are Boots, Andy. Great tune written by Sam Dees wife, Lillian. INCREDIBLE flipside too, in "Who You Gonna Love" - Sam Dees perfection! Sean

Yep - Another great 45 release from the Soul Junction guys. This is turning out to be a really significant label. All quality releases deserving of our total support. Sean

Sorry, I don't know how to do that. Sean

Might be. As you know, demand is a major factor in the price of a record. The more people want it, the higher the price. The fewer copies available, the higher the price. Have got the second part nailed down (It couldn't be more elusive). Just need demand to increase... and we could have a priceless rarity on our hands here. Not that its for sale, you understand. Sean

You took the words right out of my mouth Sebastian. I prefer the RONN copy, but you're right, both cuts are great! Sean

Candi Staton "One More Hurt" - Unissued MONSTER track, from the Ace 'Haul of FAME'. Hear it played LOUD this weekend at Rugby! Magnificent - I kid you not. Sean

Sorry guys, I owed Dylan so that's why he got it. Don't think I'll be sharing it with anyone else for a while. However, I'm in negotiations with Grey Matter, who own the publishing, to try and get it put out. Meanwhile, you can forget Frank Wilson. This has got to be the rarest tune on the planet. Sean

Agree, although the 'scene' is a bit like a bus ride - some folk decided to get off at the first stop, others at various stops along the way, while some just wanna stay on the bus to see where the journey leads! That's people I guess! Sean

It's a dream bit of tuneage Dylan. Same backing track as 'Love You Baby'... only better lyrics! And a lot more elusive than the Mica 45. Sean

I guess the difference is that on many scenes, people 'dance' just for the sake of 'dancing' (therefore they'll dance to owt) whereas Soul fans tend to dance 'in appreciation of' and for the sake of the record. E.g. At Cleethorpes on Saturday I wasn't there for the 'dancing' but was on the floor like a shot when Shirley Lawson's 'One More Chance' came on. No doubt the 'Northern' Scene is a dance scene but with such a broad base of records and such a knowledgeable audience it's easier to be more 'selective' in how one expends ones energy. The Modern scene is also a 'dance' scene, but probably less selective. They really do dance to owt. Sean

Me too Pete. Should have been a MONSTER! Let me know if you find a spare. Sean

Yep - the Parker 45 is a great underplayed, unknown, unreleased, unrecorded bit of tuneage! Maybe some day! Sean

Awesome Bob. Gonna check out the link. Many thanks. Sean

1973 - Rotherham Market - 35p Nice deepie flipside too! Sean

One of the 'Sherman Sisters' here, working now as an Artist, and a brief Bio. Quote "part of the 4 sister act group called the 'Sherman Sisters'wrote songs such as Bassa love, and became Englands first all black girls pop group who worked with the Beatles. https://www.saatchi-g...le//103298.html There is a CD of SNB tracks also available called Sunday Sunshine, released in Oct 2008, featuring a couple of Flamma Sherman tracks; "Move Me" (the topside to "Where Is He") and "Bassa Love". https://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B001FYUFMS But none of them are as good as Eddie Parkers fantastic, unreleased, unrecorded, 'The Spotlight's On You' Dean .
