I am thinking about you Max - Please get well soon Mick holdsworth

Still after this - Joe Pirolli - Oh Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, - if anyone can help Thanks Mick Holdsworth

I remember years ago finding some promising info regarding Margaret Little, just never managed to follow up on it - If Margaret has a granddaughter called Sharima (now about 36/37), I may have a little more to add. If, however this is not the same lady, as I suspected, then ..... Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Mine's the same - however there are copies where the end is fine, but half a minute in the middle was buggered - so it's swings and roundabouts. There is a recording in Refosoul with the middle bit cut out and the end is fine (click my last played). Cheers Mick Holdsworth

That's great, thanks for those, paup-ine. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

No, but you get charged a commission for any sales you make. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Suppose the refosoul posting and searching method could be used - everyting the same but instead of mp3s, it's optional jpgs we would upload. - sort of a RefoSale. As to notifications, maybe something similar to the PM's we use. It sounds like a good idea, but as pikeys dog says, it's a brand new section to maintain, and Mike has enough on his plate with the many aspects of the site as it now.

Can anyone post up a 300 dpi scan of Marvin Holmes YBKH - actually it's just the logo I want, so anything on Brown Door would be OK. - thought I'd got one, but alas no .. Thanks Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Thanks Grant, I'd checked that out already - Don't know how complete the discog is, but it does say it is no longer updated. Thanks Martyn - Can't say I've actually heard it, so I don't think it was Michael Boulton - it's just a record I've seen in years gone by. I might be wrong on this, but I'm sure the one side was "If you won't, I will" (Yes, this is also the other side to "God Knows", so maybe it was issued twice), but backed with something else. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Anyone on this one? - Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

A few on eBay finishing Sunday (June 27) about 8:30pm UK time - includes Pretenders - Temptation Walk (Studio Acetate) / Royal Esquires / Carmine & Co / Mike McDonald US Stock RCA / Flamingos UK Phillips Demo / Bert Dache and others ... Check out the link here ... motown-sound Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Hope someone can remember, but I've been trying to remember what the other RCA 45 was by Mike Mcdonald, also what was it like ? Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

That was Buddy Conner - When You're Alone, not NOECTYP (Ahh, just read your reply properly !! - forget what I said) Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Probably the best thing I found was Jeanette White - Music A&M UK Demo for 10p on Birmingham Rag Market, and a Jon Ford - You Got Me .. for 15p from Bilston High Street - - - both in about '79 / '80 The Strangest thing I found was Arin Demain / Doni Burdick white boot on Absolute in a charity shop in Derby for 50p about '97 or '98 - - - why so strange ?? -- well, although I can't remember the exact date, I knew at the time it was a brand new release that very week. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Mod Squad - "The Love Bug Will Bite You" (Full instructions on how to do the "Love Bug" on B side) Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Dave, Must admit I've never seen a Bareback Issue, only demos - or have I got that wrong ?? Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Here's about 18 or so £40 - £100 records on ebay tonight 8:20 GMT onwards, a few still at 99p or just over ... Check out the link here ... motown-sound Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

You are right - it was one of Sousanns ling a longs from the 70's - very poor reproduction if I remember, considering the reproduction of Del-satins etc which were fine Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

It now resides in Wolverhampton - sadly not in my box - John Pugh has it. - It was the same backing as total Eclipse, but a completely different mix. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Just noticed a Vg only black one go through at $400 - comparing the two it does make you wonder why the white test press was only a little bit more. I think in a bit better condition too. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Don't think it was ever released, but it was made available through a CD about 10 years ago (Couldn't tell you which one, probably a Goldmine or similar). Cheers Mick

Ian, Yes there is a vocal - it's called 'Dance Time' Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Just in case anyone is interested, you can now add postage on your UK listings (supposed to be yesterday 8th but there were problems). They finally got it working this morning - Turbo lister also works, but you may need to update it. Cheers Mick

When you consider the Royal Esquires - for over 20 years a very rare record - fetching over $1800 dollars on eBay it seemed like a good deal, as it was advertised by the seller as an ULTRA RARE item. Very soon we all learned the vast quantity the seller had - basically every copy pressed had come to the sellers possesion, making it about as rare as Spyder Turner. As a seller, If I do find a few copies of something, then I'd just sell them as If it were the only one I had. If I found 1000 copies of, say, Kell Osbourne on Highland, I would disclose it and price it accordingly, I certainly wouldn't advertise it as "ULTRA RARE, one of only 5" or somesuch. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

It is good, but it's not the Moments. I was talking to Des Parker a while back about this one - apparently he reckoned the track was just used to make up a B side for "All I Have" - as to who it actually is, he was less sure, although I think "Springers" may have been mentioned as a possibility. I've never heard the Willie & Mighty Magnificents LP, so it could be the same take - anybody have both to compare ? Cheers Mick Holdsworth
