John Reed

I heard it out a few times over the years, but i think the tempo's just off for it to be danced to. It was a minor hit and can be picked up for about a £1, so not something that would attract the majority of DJ's. It would or already has gone down a storm at venues such as Majestic or Just Soul. Saying that its been a firm favourite in my house for many years.

Now here's a funny thing as I cherish this record for the other side "I'm Serious About Lovin' You"

Grew up listening to their music and it'll always have a place in my heart. It's a shame I never saw them live.

Probably only on Steve's Ipod

Dave, Is there no room for one more? Cos Rick Hall's production credentials at Fame are up there with the best of the best and just naming a few like: Joe Simon, Jimmy Hughes, Wilson Picket, Bobby Moore, Laura Lee, Arthur Conley, Clarence Carter, Candi Staton. I would hoped he would warrant an inclusion.

I listened of the sound clip on JM's site and it didn't really sound ex+, if you know what I mean... As we all do, I prefer to get records as mint as possible, but will consider lower gradings if appearance isn't 100% but it does depend on the sound quality and the price

Bugger it, I put a want up for "Nobody" last month, still not got one..... Should have been quicker off the mark

If you want to do it legally, then if you sell or give away the CD, the ripped mp3's that remain in your possesion become illegal copies as they are classed as "back-ups" to your CD. There has been heated debate on this and the re-sale of legally purchased mp3's

Is there a reason why the picture sleeves have gone for the latest releases, cost?

I watched it last night, a fascinating documentary and as Sean and Sebastian have said, the story of an unsung musical hero, thoroughly enjoyed it.

It came out on a promotional 12", but don't know if a 7" of it was ever pressed

I loved virtually all his work from I’ll Take Care of you and Cry, Cry, Cry, through to Hurtin’ Love and When Hearts Grow Cold - A Bluesoul master, who has left a great legacy.

Its an acronym for "If I Remember Correctly"

Saying that, you need to do your homework before buying any record, let alone an "unknown" whether it be on ebay or not.

if you need another proof reader, give me a call.....

Is there an ETA on your one, Steve?

There are a couple of "of its time" tunes like "Right Track" & "Looking For The Real Thing", but IMO all the tracks are great. Then you've got tracks like "Leave The Bridges Standing" and "If I Don't Love You" which'll bring a tear to your eye..... Just buy one mate you wont be disapointed.

Wear some aftershave, the chicks love a DJ...........

Richard, the charge might be VAT as you can get charged that as well.

I'm doing a sponsered walk and need the Mello Souls to play on my Ipod while walking, so you think JM will give me a discount?

He's done 5 if you include the one on Stax. 2 on Parachute (Welcome To my Room & Intimately), 2 on Choc City (Midnight Desire & Randy) and the one on Stax. Are you missing one, Wayne?

Welcome's not in th pack......

Of course, I even tried to entice Gary Thomas

well you are on holiday, you should be enjoying yourself rather than mixing with saddo's like us.....
