I can't remember how I got hold of this, probably someone from here. Anyway a few people have asked for it so here's a copy. It shows the matrix number, year and month. Useful when checking those run outs

I hope you told him how excited we get about Earl Jackson

I like the box one best of all (don't like the record much though)

Good heavens no !! If you do expect the Soul Police to arraest and your'll get life listening to the Snake.........................

US 1st issue

Any idea of what she died of ?

Generally speaking UK issues are better than US but Shout were OK, never had a duff one.

Never seen one but have seen labels with both and black text.

That's reasonable for the Earl Jackson but the Bobby Treetop looks way too expensive.....................

I've had about 5 or 6 of these over the years never noticed one with "STEREO" on it. It's probably more "original" that the 2nd pressing of Jackie Lee - Darkest days.

Johnny Howard - 'Chase is on' was from a soul pack...........

What I do is type e-mail address onto a Word document, make a jpeg of and send in a message as a photo, long winded but works.

I get loads of spam mails but this was a real attempt to "buy" something from me, didn't ask me click a link or divulge any info, the "buyer" thought they'd get something without having to pay for it. Even had the gaul to ask if I'd shipped it !! I gave him a choice reply and haven't heard anything since, wonder why.

Almost had a bit of a scare yesterday. I sold an item and the person said he'd pay by Paypal, I gave him the Paypal address. The usual message appeared "So & So has paid you £400" on the e-mail page. So I packed item and got ready to tell buyer money had arrived. I read the note again and something wasn't quite right. It said that the money was "pending" until I shipped the item and mailed through the tracking number, I'd never heard that before. So I checked my Paypal account and there was nothing there, including the Pending payment. Forwarded e-mail to Paypal who confirmed it was a scam. I guess I've sold thousands of things via Paypal but never really bothered to check if the money had actually arrived on the account. Please be careful. Oh yes, Ebay, they don't allow you to send an e-mail address via the messaging which can be a bit frustrating but you can put it on your auction page for whole world to see. Ah well, keeps everyone busy..................

"Sweet Darlin" & "Looking for you" will consider any reasonable condition (and price).

I haven't read all the posts on this thread but there is a body of opinion that "Heartaches away" by Christine Cooper should have been, possibly also Sweet Darlin' by Jimmey Soul Clark

I've always been of the opinion that the music changed come 1968/69, from that Motownesque/Stax-Atantic soul to a more funky protest type. The atmosphere of "we can do anything" got replaced during the Vietnam war by a more somber tone, something that got reflected in the music. Soul as we know it pretty much disappeared as Disco stuff started to arrive, despite the efforts of Dakar, Lizard and Invictus/Hot Wax. The record labels didn't/couldn't adapt fast enough.

I have a vinyl copy like that, thing is it looks like a boot I once had, shame I don't have it to compare. Have to say label looks a bit Mickey Mouse.

It's a 100% legitimate 1967 release.

I don't think so.......................................... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291800712989?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
