Stumbled on this via u tube Not sure if I can ever recall seeing a original 60s Latin Soul video Made my day 😂 bonkers !!!

Fantastic information, Thanks Roburt

Yes indeed I thank you kindly Great version of the Diane Lewis on Wand hit Which is also a fab tune imo

I like them both , I can’t really separate them , I like the Janice sort of fragile vocal and later 60s feel to production but always loved Andrea Henry since I first heard it any ideas who Janice is?

Was Andrea Henrys version produced in Detroit ? Herman Griffin was Detroit based wasn’t he

I don’t think I’ll be bothering with it again Like the ray pollard , hammer price was showing 550 but add the buyers tax and it’s circa 700 The 30 percent buyers tax on top off the hammer price takes the proverbial in my view There were some fantastic records there

So which one was discovered first and when, and by who? Where was it first played? So obviously the MGM release was played a lot and seems the more common version - I first heard it in the 80s probably played by Mark Bicknell at keel or somewhere the MGM version was always about 350 quid and the roulette version was sort of 200 quid even if it was more interesting and underplayed But as times roll on - Is the Janice version actually much rarer? I still see Andrea Henry MGM 45 popping up when DJs sell up but I never see the Janice on roulette on lists anymore. I feel the Janice 45 is lovely with the slightly funkier guitar and the obvious later 60s laid back vibe, and added crossover feel You never see it on lists anymore do you? Both great versions of the same tune - just interested in everyone's opinion regarding which one is rarer? I imagine the Andrea Henry version on MGM gained price and demand as it was popular on the northern soul scene and the Janice version was overlooked but is in fact the much rarer 45 Just a conversation about 2 lovely soulful versions of a really great record. I still cant separate them.

Did anyone win anything or bid on the uk collection via omega auction last Wednesday? Must admit I bid on many things and thought I had placed really good high bids in and expected a couple of wins. Good news is I still have a wife and Christmas is intact Really keen prices - remember you pay 30 percent buyers fee with this auction so you have to factor that in when you bid. 2 examples - So Ray Pollards uk issue its a sad thing on issue went for 550 so plus fees would end up at over 700 pounds - that sold Jerry Jackson - its rough out there uk pye demo sold for around 300 - so with buyers fees and postage over 400 quid - that sold One one hand I was disappointed that I did not snag anything, but on the other really pleased and surprised that an auction not specifically directed at soul collector's achieves such great prices and interest. The collecting scene is proving really healthy - I know this as I have just been outbid on everything I bid on Must say it was an outstanding uk collection - including 60s soul, 60s ska, 60s mod, 60s psych Anyone else have a go on these omega auctions?

I bought a uk fontana Sandy Wynns - arrived today I have just snagged the second cheapest uk fontana ever listed going by discogs It is fab condition - I could not be more happy Got a couple of other uk bits on way that I am really looking forward to adding into the uk section Just would like to say big thank you to John To be honest I always pick through his site listening to stuff and mentally making notes etc, picking out what I want and buying the odd thing anyway. So I sort of know what is on there that I would like, so when he does the half price and I think this is the third time he has I'm not scrolling through the most expensive tunes and going down the tree from the top trying to find a bargain as I already know what he has which I want anyway. So really happy with the few great bits I have snagged off him this week As Willie Tee said - Thank you John

First heard it at Bradford Queens Hall in late 80s Probably Pat Brady Class record, never overplayed Well worth 300 quid

Thanks for that 👍👍👍 Really good, just ordered one

Yes, I saw the Prisoners a very long time ago , such a great influence as a teen ager for me, along with making time and manual scan from USA , they were my top 3 1980s Still have my Italian sx lambretta Still collect records Still buy clothes always with a certain taste I haven’t been to a soul doo or a mod doo for many years I’m very into just what I’m into Hermit old Mod 😂

Yes Exactly the same cloth Thanks for sharing It’s so cool to see and know that there are people with the same mindset As for mod revival, of course !!! That is where I came from Last one from that area I bought was Eddie pillers fairly recent release on 7 inch of don’t burst my bubble by the prisoners , which sold out immediately What a tune

I got a great copy of Darrow Fletcher the pain gets a little deeper on London last year This record means so much to me To have a uk copy - I so love it these little things make my day
