    You know the score...a tune gets stuck in your head for a day or so...hopefully not longer...and you can't stop whistling (or humming!) it whether you want to or not! For me, the Marketts' 'Stirrin' Up Some Soul' has been my whistler of choice! Next victim, please...

    Your copy is an original styrene copy...there are stock copies and demos with the painted on label. There are also paper label copies on purple (stock) and WDs, so x4 label variations in total...all originals. Not aware of a re-press/bootleg.

    Here's one of my fave tunes from the Stafford era that still doesn't break the bank! Also came out on Cameo, but here are the local labels with and without the distribution credits. The vocals are gutsy and the organ work soooooo sharp...love it...DJs should reactivate this old 'Otis Pollard' c/up!

    Vintage 100 Club/Capitol Soul Club floor shaker...prime R'n'B rumbler!
  5. Anoraks Corner
    ...and for those who like the relentless early R'n'B groove style of 'Money Won't Change You', you better also check out his, 'Let Yourself Go', which also features some nice sax blasts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sCzd5r92QE

    'er, rare, VERY rare!
  7. Anoraks Corner
    ...and here is the demo copy...note the 'A' in DECCA is circled to indicate the official 'A' side...clever stuff from the label designers!

    ...and also confirm with the buyer that they actually want the full value showing, as it will incure charges fr them.

    I have a spare WD in fab condition for £100...no factory sleeve, mind!

    Quality, quality Cross-over Soul of the highest order:
  11. Anoraks Corner
    That's my fave track from that outfit Great group...here's another, 'Twice As Much For My baby' / 'Sweet Lorene'.
  12. Anoraks Corner
    ...as is his, 'I Can't Put You Down' / 'We Must have Love'.

    I used to avidly collect Soul/Popcorn releases on Decca for many a year...so many cracking tunes! Here's a not so well known romper stomper of a tune that the Latin fans would appreciate...kinda like Gerri Granger's 'Why can't it be tonight' on steroids with a screaming sax break!

    I have this one spare if anyone fancies it...great dance track...rarer demo copy. Press this link: >>> Sales Pages <<<

    This is my copy of 'Rescue Me'...VERY rare on Japanese Globe...great sleeve as well!

    Wonder why 'DECCA' is written to the right of the label on this release?
  18. Anoraks Corner
    Are you referring to Preston Peters - You Can't Measure Your Love - MM Enterprises...the old 'Saxie Russell' c/up from Stafford? There are lots of miss-pressed copies of that one that play a ballad rather than the upbeat R'n'B mover.

    Northern Soul vs. Spector...best read then...Tammy twats any Spectoresque over the top yet never making it to the top performance every time...especially thrice on stormy Mondays! Tell you what, you stick to your port and lemon and scratch your chin in the record room, and I'll go for the cherry Vimto (on Ken's recommendation) and the throw myself around on a dancefloor having fun to the poppy stomper...ans she is better looking than Jerry.
  20. Anoraks Corner
    Alas, your argument does not hold water, as you consider Jerry Ganey to be superior to Chris Morgan...I mean really, come on! I fear the port has addled your brain...please stick to Vimto in the future...damn...you had to mention Vimto didn't you...I can't get it over here and now have a craving for a can of the magically chemical tasting brew!

    Thanks for your message of support, Mike, but I fear I may be a hopeless case. You see, on watching the YouTube clip of the Chiffons performing their rendition, my original thoughts were supported as in the lead vocalist gives it zero enthusiasm or emotion, and the backing ladies girl-groupify (!) it up to make the NS level drop. Tammy however, belts it out with attitude over a full-on backing track. Game over. What say you, paup-ine?! Adieu!
  22. Anoraks Corner
    Rare on UK, mighty rare on Australian...sooo desirable on Japanese!?! Here is my Japanese MCA copy...and oh look there is also a test press 45 of two tracks taken from the LP...could it be!?!?!?!?!
  23. Anoraks Corner
    I believe it was December 5th 1981, as I recall...I was there!
  24. Anoraks Corner
    What's the insert look like/feature?
  25. Anoraks Corner
    Jeez, where do you start with such a prolific writer singer? I'll tell you what, I'll approach it from the more modern era...his worldwide hit, 'Being with you'! When this was in the charts I detested it...it did nothing for me other than want to turn the radio off! HOWEVER, many, many years later I heard it whilst in a shop and WHAMMY it suddenly made sense...don't know why, it just did! I quickly picked up a Japanese press of it and now I think it is a superb track...a latter day classic...timeless!
