Jimmy Armstrong on brothers three is incredible deep soul one of my favourite records. for quality and rarity this is very cheap.

I’m well mate and appreciate both sides of the argument regarding these recent tracks. I just think a couple of them are pretty good. The ballad is the one that got me. what defines tailor made is that anything copying a style from a previous era ? Lee fields for example his output is fantastic but is a style from the past but still authentic and genuine. That said he does have releases going all the way back. also daptone etc.

I think the recent batch of AI vocals could be tried out with quality soul singers and there is the opportunity to judge them again

Charades is a brilliant oldie the thing that surprises me is how cheap there other mgm 45 still is

My contribution was based on what was said on the radio show. real musicians, human written, AI vocals

Yes I remember those. I had one from that batch. i think I’m still yours is the better vocal it fits the backing better and is the rarer variant One of those artists where all his output is fantastic and quite a lot of it is rare as well.

Just the vocal as I understand it which is a key part of soul music as people who have lived through something will get that emotion into the song.

I think exactly the same it’d incredible plenty of haters. if this was done with a human singer it would be getting far more credit. its real musicians and lyrics written by a human.

I missed that as well…..

I wandered how long before we had a thread about this. been listening to the tracks on deans show now for some weeks and they are very good. made by somebody who has listened to a lot of soul music. He was quite open and honest in the show about them. maybe get some real singers involved ?

Yes I appreciate his wealth of knowledge and time on the scene. I just don’t warm to things being hyped. It doesn’t encourage me to want to buy. It obviously works though.

I find the descriptions a hard read. Only check in here to see the prices and opinions.

I sold mine for more 10 or 15 years ago. It’s a great price. Darrow fletcher is also fantastic but that price crikey !!

Caught up with this show now and well that was interesting. He has really captured the 60s soul sound very well. And the lyrics are strong.

this seems more like a boot than a licenced reissue then ? It is good this music has come to a new audience but only by official products IMO no place for these dodgy boots. much prefer the Willie mason myself more northern if that makes sense.

Never heard this without the piano intro starts too sudden like some kind of mistake ?

Probably haven’t but carry on….

There is a lot of fantastic unissued stuff being put out by some very knowledgable people. the record discussed here is a weak pop song that shouldn’t get anywhere near a soul set

This is what I was thinking. They still have stampers and these have been pressed recently. It’s only guess work on my part.

So the over press scam could have been going on longer than previously known about ? Or they have been pressed more recently ?

I just used those numbers as an example I agree it’s probably a lot more. With record prices the way they are lots of money to be made

Maybe but the fact they were being sold on open market suggests strongly / proves that wasn’t why extra copies were pressed. 10 extra copies at 100 quid each is easy money. Multiply that up and the incentive is there

Yes that’s what I meant he stamped those he gave out so unstamped were known to be dodgy.

So one of the over pressed 45s was marked up by Ady, sorry I didn’t read that detail before posting.

Got to agree. always hearing great new stuff. the new releases recently have been very strong particularly the Larry and the illustrators. The ballad side is immense.
