I used to go for them myself until a few years ago when the penny dropped.

Next thing will be an equivalent of the recent Xbox or Playstation eBay scam. "Absolutely genuine Billy Arnell original photo". Guess what the buyer will receive.

Sunlightsquare sold.

When it first turned up as Soul Bowl I think it was probably a new release, or if not, only a few months old. As you say, easily available. So was Charles Johnson.

Very sad news. Len was one of my favourire singers.

Thanks Bob.

I presume it's the same, it's definately the "Get Involved" GS

Anyone know what the George Soule went for on Anglo American auction on Thursday (29/10). I saw it at £1300 about 5:30 but forgot about it till the page vanished after 6:00 Cheers

Didn't realise it was on this Lp either. Well found. Always felt it was simply the Jaybirds.

Good luck John, It's the only one I need myself, been after it for ages. Got the other 14.

The backing to Rose Battiste is so familiar, is that from something obvious, or is my imagination.

Love the flattening sevice as being "both sides". I've a few lightly heat warped records, might give it a try.

The bottom one with the time as 2:43 is a boot. The font is a givaway. The top one real, with time at 2:22

Yep, those are the three versions all with images above, two by yourself amd one by Chalky. WIL 190303 WIL-193302 WIL-190203 It was your reference to WIL-190302 I didn't get.

That's WIL-193302, not 190302.

Three label variations then. I wonder if the second one (HXV 175313) was a printing error. The printers changed the time and number, but forgot to change the mixer designation, so then corrected the label to read HXL 175313.

Looking at the sellers feedback at .. . . https://www.ebay.co.uk/fdbk/feedback_profile/davidm3091?filter=feedback_page:RECEIVED_AS_SELLER&_trksid=p2047675.l2560 . . . and then scrolling down to the end, you will find this . . . " EXCELLENT TRANSACTION - SUPERB ITEM - WELL DONE CHAPTER FIVE - KEEP THE FAITH d***d (3257) More than a year ago " Probably not a coincidence.

In this case they are both HXV (Brian Holland) mixes as per the images. Is there an HXL (Lawrence Horn) mix too ?

Had forgotten those, great to hear again.

Interesting, still not 100 pecent of the timeline, but it looks like the origin of the song is through George M at Golden World. (This may only be the music track if Barbara Mercer was "Just penciled in"). Golden World didn't like it and sold it to George. (Before he "later" took it to Dave Hamilton, George could have gone to United Sound and recorded vocals with Barbara Mecer, if they wern't already pre recorded at GW). I emphasize "Could Have". He also could have taken it to other places too. Dave H than recorded Tobi Lark vocals. and then finished it at United Sound. So although Barbara could have recorded her vocals after United finished the Tobi Lark session, it seems more likely the recording came to United before Dave H got it, and they recorded Barbaras vocals (if they wern't already pre-recorded at Golden World) and for whatever reason never did any more with it, paving the way for George to go to Dave Hamilton.

I've only been able to check the opening lines for Detroit Dancers V1, which are on the Ace website. They do not help with individual tracks, but the detailed notes inside may help. Alas don't have a copy. See Ady can help.
