Sorry, my bad. I checked my copy. I just couldn't remember the Detroit Strings track!!

Huh? My 7" only has one track on the flip, Willie Jones.

That's the one, cheers Rob

BTW, the L.P is on Philips, the label they were on in the mid-sixties when they recorded their uptempo soul sounds.

I have their L.P where they basically have 'updated' their old sounds. That track in particular is a stand out sound given the northern treatment. Think the L.P is from around 1966. So the answer you are looking for is that the 'Goldmine' CD track is probably the more northern soul sounding L.P cut.

Superb post! Ham acting but that film looks great, I want to see it!

Half of my prediction, around £50 GBP then... Still a great LP to have though.

£100 I'd say

Thanks for posting Dave, that's what propelled me to post this thread in the first place as I am on Garage Hangover's update list and when I got that info I remembered about that particular Raven 45 in my collection.

Ah, so is he 'Pee Wee' or someone completely different?

I see John's latest features an Invitations on MGM, bet that surpasses all other copies before it!

Same as mine Paul, bet you'd get a few quid off the bay for those.

Yes, I've seen the one on Centennial but only heard one side. Pity about the youtube clip not seeing any vinyl action

"Hey y'all listen to me, I really got something I want you to see. I know a place not so far away, where you can move and groove all night and day. Get aboard your motorbike, run, walk or jive 'cos it's outasight!"

Pfft! ...and it's not even in a Vocalion sleeve, unlike mine!

As a collector of Blue-eyed Soul/Beach/Garage/California Sound etc... I thought I'd ask about a curious 45 residing in my collection on 'Raven'. Not sure if it's the same label as the Soulmasters/Gene & Teambeats etc but it's from West Virginia. 'I'm So Tired' is a nice down-tempo ballad whilst 'Fat Woman' is a more funky uptempo offering. I know absolutely nothing about the group but found a nice tune by them on youtube, unfortunately it offers no information whatsoever about it's release so I'm asking if anyone on here knows if it was released?

As a collector for 35 odd years I couldn't believe there was one on there I didn't know! The Ster-phonics....and what a tune!!!

Someone mentioned a book, didn't Anglo American recently publish a price guide featuring albums and the 'Northern' type tracks listed? Anyway, as a serious album collector and I do have most already mentioned, I agree with those listed. Here's one not mentioned and a great inclusion...

Some of those records are highly valuable. In Freitas’s living room, a coffee table was covered with recently acquired rarities. On top of a stack of 45s sat “Barbie,” a 1962 single by Kenny and the Cadets, a short-lived group featuring the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson on lead vocals and, as backup singers, Wilson’s brother Carl and their mother, Audree. In the same stack was another single – “Heartache Souvenirs"/"Chicken Shack,” by William Powell – that has fetched as much as $5,000 on eBay. Nearby sat a Cuban album by Ivette Hernandez, a pianist who left Cuba after Fidel Castro took power; Hernandez’s likeness on the cover was emblazoned with a bold black stamp that read, in Spanish, “Traitor to the Cuban Revolution.”

Only ever found 4: Mary Wells Isley Brothers Marv Johnson (that was a tough one to find!) Isley Brothers (different from their other one) Only the Isley Brothers L.P's contain previously unreleased tracks. Anymore on Starline?

Years ago I saw a 'Detroit Soul' CD, can't remember the title and it could have been a home made job but Al Green was featured on it with 'A Lover's Hideaway' (HLMJ). I have most of his HLMJ 45's, but, the 'Back Up Train' L.P I have is on USA Bell with a different cover to the HLMJ release.

I have one, EX (few faint surface marks) nice shine on vinyl, great labels. £10 post free....any good to you?

Nice one, it may have come from a soldier then! My father was stationed over there during the 1950's and married my mother who was a local Maltese girl from Sliema. I have picked up a few Italian 45's from the Island including a couple by Rocky Roberts and a nice 1960's garage thumper 45 from a local band that belonged to my mother.

I suppose it's like going into a shop, picking something up, humming and haring about buying it then putting it back. Agree, a nice simple 'no thanks' would suffice.

Had 4 messages regarding the spare box set. In the proper British way I will sell to the first person who responded and that is 'kevinsoulman'. Thanks guys.
