Hi Girth - The one I have is on the regular blue/white/silver UK design - Will check the details tonight and post a copy. Will also check the sound quality on the Al 12 too. Many thanks all. Rich

Think someone here recently mentioned the mix version on 12 - Kind of what alerted me to having the 12 in the first place! Album version for me too! Anyone an idea on the Bobby Womack 12? ATB Rich

Me too. I've always assumed it was the wrong 'mix ' that I had.. As you say, live and learn.. Rich

Blimey... that much huh? Yes he does want the 12" of all - tho he's offered far far less ....... Cheers guys. Rich

Quick one: Got someone who wants the following twelves from me - ( Not on here I hasten to add ) have no idea of value Sean Oliver - You & Me 12 EP w/ Pic Cover MINT Al Green - Keep On Pushing Love - BMG 12 Promo ( Think its the one with Sacha Mix?? Could be wrong ) Bobby Womack - So Many Sides Of You - UK Motown Thanks in advance. Rich

Totally agree on the thread Sean. Has anyone got a clip of James Fry ? Got outbid on the 45 last year and still dont see it around much! Two copies - UK - 1 issue 1 demo sold recently on ebay for 6 and 10 quid a piece. So a great 45 for a tenner ... ATB Rich

Great clip! Thanks ! ( mimed?? I think ) - and one of my fave big ballads . . One of those ' if it was rare and unknown - what price ' type tunes IMO. Great stuff from a classic group. ATB Rich

Nice group 45 - Also came out on Dakar - a shade cheaper than the Bashie 45. Do see a few going on ebay quite cheap now and again. ATB Rich

Many thanks Binsy & Stuart Not seen that much P-Vine vinyl myself . Saw the LP's on ebay and thought they would fetch a lot more too. Perhaps the deep / southern market is not what it was? -The deep / southern stuff interests me most. Will have to have a delve into the site Stuart posted up and take a look. ! ATB Rich

Many thanks Pete - Now I don't know! But I DO remember loving this LP to bits . Will maybe have to get one of those re-presses if they still do them. ATB Rich

Cheers Pete!

Quality Pete . Def. soulful IMHO . Always had a soft spot for ska / JA soul stuff ( Unfortunatley sold half my collection when I was 16 to a dealer in Brum - Icicle ? / Other half thru RC mag - 300+ BB / DB/ Island etc . You'd a loved it.. ) BTW - Had an LP - Jump Jamaica Way - Seem to remember a crackin soulful cut on there from a male duo ? Brill LP too. ATB Rich

Cheers M - I've often surprised at the many times I've left opening bids on quality SOUL 45s and won them without anyone else bidding ( I'm sure i'm leaving myself open here ) . Get more for your dollar - good mantra - I'm stockpiling until retirement - when I'll have the time to play them all ! ATB Rich

Just following on from the Jean Plum thread from the Wants section. Over the years there's been tons of stuff issued - I think -predominantly on P-Vine ( May be wrong here ) - Seems that they , along with Ace / Kent have done a sterling job on the Deep / Sweet / side of things - also a lot of unissued stuff , am I right? Credit wheres credit due I reckon. Do they still knock stuff out ? Does anyone have a decent discography / link ? Any recommendations? ATB Rich

Fantastic artist - Jean Plum & Bettye Jean Plummer I think are the same artist ? As for the Hi records (sub) thread - Outsatnding label - artists -production - label design - ... I could go on..... ATB Rich

Seem to pick up quite a lot of deep / sweet / ballads on ebay for next to nothing - everyone chasing rare northern / funk items. Makes me laugh when I see something like ' Footsee ' selling for 1.25 , 2 bids - then underneath a crackin SOUL 45 @ 99p and no bids... Well suits me fine! ATB Rich

Cheers Rachel - Really like this - great guitar and horns - ATB Rich

Not heard that version Rachel - but a mate of mine years back had a version on a pink (?) label ( Not D. Banks.... ) - that Pat Brady covered up briefly ( Same time he covered the Groovers - Aint Too Proud To Beg as an unreleased Steve Mancha version ) at Bradford Queens Hall many moons ago. Anyone any ideas ? ATB Rich

Still going Baz - Ends 31/3 - Currently £1400 Rich

Wish I'd gone / been around to go to Canal Tavern - Thorne to hear the stuff Rod Dearlove et al were spinning. Rich

Many thanks Dave -

So THATS what happened to him after the hits never materialised...... Marvin Jones I've heard , tho I recall one old soul luminary stating that he knew him as JM ... Cheers Paul Rich

Bobby Freeman - Everything's Love ( Touch ) - Never fails - Sorry no mp3 but a clip below https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/d/52516/FREEMAN%2C+BOBBY Deon Jackson - Someday The Sun Will Shine Willie Tee - Please Don't Go George Pepp - Feeling Is Real Obvious big tickets - but never ever fail to put a smile on my weathered old stressed head! Just add one more -more in keeping with lesser knowns - have raved about this before. https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Johnny_John...;t_Know_Why.ram B Side of ' Honey Bee ' Cant stop playing it - Loads of people must have it for the A side - a true ' flip it over oh my gosh ' 45. The content not uplifting as such but man what a tune! ATB Rich

Apologies if this has been posted before. Had heard that JM isn't JM but someone else? Think I read in an old Shades Of Soul that it was a pseudonym for someone else. Anyone confirm? Or have a pic??? ATB Rich

Not having the best of times Pete lately are you? You can always use the feedback system too, to let others know - even if you get your money back thru Paypal ( And you should do by all accounts ). Spending money on poor condition 45s is a bain in buying off ebay so at the very least you will warn others. Let us know how you get on. ATB Rich
