Well, what did YOU do, Paul???? We´re dying to find out...lol...

Sold and posted quite a few records to Japan some years ago when I was a record dealer, always fast and efficient delivery to Japan, no problems whatsoever I am glad to say. And Japanese customers are often so thankful. Some even offered me to come over and stay with them for a while in their home, to show their gratitude for me providing them with a record that they´ve been searching for for so long :O) Never had buyers from other countries making me such offers.

Hi Glyn! Don´t think requesting mp3s of individual tracks is allowed on the forum. However, I think I do have the album tucked away somewhere so just let me know which tracks you need in a pm and I´ll see what I can do. Best, Melismo

Wonderful sounds again, for me in particular: Fantastic Four - As Long As I Live Geraldine Curry & The Heartstoppers - You're So Wonderful Kenny Gamble - No Mail On Monday Ann Bogus - Don't Ask Me To Love Again Radio Four - How Much I Owe Mr. Delton - Now You See Me Rising Sun - Let Me Into Your Heart Ruby Winters - Always David Bill Brantley - Loves Sweet Vibration Lynn Williams - Tears In My Eyes Walter Jackson - You Gotta Give Lynn Williams certainly has/had a very impressive voice for a 12 year old!

Hi Jason! Another very interesting and enjoyable show coming from you. Loved those two United Sounds tunes that you played. Interesting that the original singer was around listening to the show, he has/had a great voice no doubt. BTW, do you reckon most of the artists you play actually own personal copies of their own records? Other standouts from your show for me were: Cornelius Crawford "Come on Back" Fewell Family "Heaven Was Made for Me" The Gospel Echoes "God Won't Change" The West Family Singers "God Can Do Anything But Fail" Rick St. John "One Heart Hurting" The Fabulous Bowties "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" Jackie Cheeks "Can I Get to Know You" Pilgrim Stars "Lord I Thank You" Western Un-Yun "Do What You Like" Bobby J. "Can I Come Over Tonight" Kirby Hamilton "A Different Place" United Sounds "And When It's Over" and all three tracks by the Saints were true gems as well. Best regards Melismo

Hi Ollie! Another quality mix with Chicago, Lou Courtney, Brothers By Choice, and The Dynamics being my top favourites. I also love Thee Image. Have that one on an LP. Great tune, very soulful, and perfect groove, maybe the electric guitar though is a tad bit too much in the forefront for it to be a clear-cut soul cut rather than soul-rock one for me...lol... Thanks for posting, look forward to the next one already Cheers, Melismo

Should I ask the artist in question? He is a friend of mine and seem to know a few UK rare soul djs as well, he is a member over at EMS, maybe on here as well? I think he may be planning either a rerelease of the old material or to put out some new recordings. Watch this space...

Read in my local paper that Aretha is doing fine and soon will start performing live again, there´s also a new album in the pipeline featuring collaborations with for instance R. Kelly.

Best track from the album Twinkle of an Eye and the 12" single features the longer (more than 8 mins running time) and more popular version of "God´s Armor". I know that the original album is considered "rare", but nonetheless most modern soul collectors seem to have a copy and it often comes up for sale on the www. "God´s Armor" on a 12" I don´t see often, it is probably quite scarce. Last time I saw it on one of the sites I frequently visit it was listed by a French dealer for 60 Euros. Sure some of the modern soul heads reading this can provide more help. It´s been a long time since I was selling records, and I don´t even buy much for myself these days either. I know what I like (and "God´s Armor" is a great track), but I am not so much up to date with current values, since I am not a dealer anymore. Best, Melismo
