    Classic Northern thumper with cracking brass break and vocals...plus a superb big production mid-tempo flipside that has gained a few spins over recent years.

  9. Back in 2003 I was contacted by the drummer of the Soul Set of 'Will You Ever Learn' fame...and within a few months another guy contacted me saying that he was the drummer! As it turns out one of them played on the record and the other in the live band. This info has been on my site since those days. Now leap forward to this year and within the last month I was contacted by the founder, leader, sax-blower and song-writer from the Soul Set...Charlie Greenway. Many emails were swapped and he supplied some stunning background info on putting the band together, writing the songs, their original set lists etc! He also supplied pictures of the original publisher's certificate for, 'Will You Ever Learn' and the Soul Set business card...WOW! I've put it all together and uploaded the pictures up onto my site... link below best David "...As if by magic, a couple of hours later we were playing, "Will You Ever Learn" and "Please Don't Make Me Cry" exactly how I had heard them in my mind a few hours previous whilst in the back of our automobile! Believe it or not, we then gave the tunes their debut during our concert with The Drifters the next night. Over the following months we played them on stage many times in clubs and frat houses, and then recorded them at Arthur Smith Studios in Charlotte, NC. Our manager, David Fisher, gave us a couple boxes of records to pass on to anyone we knew in radio, who would play it for us, and to autograph and sell on to pick up... ” http://www.anorakscorner.com/SoulSet.html
  10. Always had a soft spot for this one. Could this track sound any more British!?! Such a clean production, nothing loose about it at all..'polite' even!

  13. To complete the pair here's t'other...though I appreciate neither really dent the definitive list of rare WD's...desirable yes, ultra rare no.
  14. Fab looking label...here are a few more from the sales pages...and I was suprised to find that I've never scanned my 'If I Had Known' WD, which is one helluva tune and lives on my faves shelves!
  15. I know, I know the stockers are also white, but you don't see demos of this old stormer around...if at all!? What a cracking tune it is too...the brass break is a real destroyer over a club PA!

  17. Must admit, I prefer, 'The Big Hurt'...love the way it builds I always found the harmonies in 'I Was Blind' a bit too 'folk-y' sounding, if you know what I mean On purple stockers and blue demos, as far as I am aware
  18. No sign of 1814 here either...but you may enjoy seeing this...£30+£5 P&P if anyone fancies it...rare and sought after disc over here!
  19. Had a few of those, Gene...not a premier league WD in my book
  20. I've had a few US copies...all were fine...the spare Japanese copy I have is also labelled correctly! Great tune!
  21. I'll balance it up...grew up with the girlie backed one, so if push comes to shove I will go for that take...although they're both great.
  22. So difficult to dance to...still love it mind...both sides!
