Cheers Pete. Stuart

Does anyone have any idea what this goes for now on Paree? It's one of a few 45s I'm thinking of selling. I know the guides say up to £250 but this sounds a bit steep given that it was a fairly common record at one time. Any help (or offers!) would be appreciated. Stuart

The album Sanctified that came out on UK Stax in 1975 is worth getting, although I've no idea if it's easy to get. And there's also the CD All The Way which has the brilliant Stay With Me (got modern plays a few years back). I know that's easy to get. Stuart

The version that got played a bit was Kirk Whalum's from his For You CD. As you probably know Kirk is a sax player but the lady on vocals was Wendy Moten. Stuart

One that's closer in style to William Bell is the guitar on the Star-Tells "Falling In Love". Stuart

I got £46 on EBay for a multicoloured copy a few months ago if that helps. Stuart

If Paul doesn't find a copy let me know as I've got a spare! Stuart

Hi Pete, It's The Coach House, Cromer Rd, Nr Walsham NR28 0HA Stuart

Hi Doc, The Northern Soul of Philadelphia Vol 2 (Goldmine) has two versions on it. That's probably where they came from. One is an unissued alternative take and the other came out on Groovey Grooves. No idea where you can get it on vinyl though... Stuart

One session man who worked with Watts 103rd was Bobby Womack. He played guitar on 'Spreadin' Honey', originally written as a radio theme for DJ Magnificent Montague. The extended version became a small R&B hit on Keymen. Stuart

Hi, Do you still have Idris Muhummed Believer for sale? Cheers Stuart

Hello all, As a long standing visitor to the site I thought it was about time to gatecrash the party. I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to make my entrance and the incredible YouTube of the Dramatics was the perfect excuse. I remember asking my local record shop for it after hearing it on Emperor Rosko's radio show. I'd misheard the group name as the Dynamics so it was no surprise they couldn't find it. The next Saturday Tony Monson (at Brighton's Sounds Unlimited) came to the rescue. A great record and knockout video. Stuart
