Doesn't copyright require some degree of original design to claim as intellectual property? If so, it hardly fits the bill does it.... In any case, I'm with Byrney.....and I'm really looking forward to Trading Standards busting the teapot, mug, birthday card, and various associated crappery sellers.....and also to the fools in Manchester trying to control 'their' copyright...

Hardly something to be bragging about....

Huns Review was well known by many long before Anglo American came to life

That might be true of a minority Len, otherwise if that was true, then 100 Club, Lifeline wouldn't have been struggling for numbers over the past few years. The vast, vast majority of 'returnees' (for want of a better term) are quite happy with the same set of played out records that they listened to during the short time they were 'on the scene'. There's a real benefit to the more progressive end of the scene from the mass return which is the opening of rare and underplayed rooms within the oldies all-nighters, but let's not kid ourselves that masses move between rooms, they don't.

The selling price on Huns Review is just plain mad....clearly the bidders on this don't know squat.....

You were in the wrong room.....if you want different then the Rare an Underplayed room is where you need to be.

La Belle Epoque, Sunny, 5,000 Volts...High soul content..... you have to be kidding ..... and they're not even good disco.

Never understood what all the fuss was about.....not even averagely good IMO...

Hard to believe that the Pam Bowie hasn't been snapped up, it's awesome mid-tempo soul, one the most soulful finds in years, and rarer than Kitch walking out of a shoe shop empty handed! ....and I should also say it's never seen in this great condition....

Not sure about the line up Dave, but Freedom Road came from the Awakening LP, which has recently been reisued by Ubiquity.

I saw the the same show in '79, in Birmingham, the combination of incredible staging effects and great music was just brilliant, and I haven't seen anything that has come close since.

I first met Dave at Stafford, he was one of the regulars that you could have a laugh and talk vinyl with, and have a great time doing both. He was one of the best, a great, genuine guy with a real ear for the music and a passion for collecting. I'll miss him and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family and close friends. He'll be great company for Mickey.

I've always considered the issue to be rarer, mainly because everyone I know that has a copy has the promo.... seems like Collectorsfrenzy bears this out now.

Sad to hear John. He left us some great music to remember him by. His Can't Get Enough album from 2000 is testament to that.

You know how some things can nag away at you...things that you can't leave alone. This thread is one of them for me, and it's because I can't see how anyone that says they're into soul music could ever think that Linda Jones voice was anything less than the essence of pure soul music. The text below has been copied from a guy's blog; this guy had never heard anything by her before, and was so moved that he put his listening experience into words..... Raising Her Voice a Little Higher: The Pain of Linda Jones CDs with warning labels are nothing new, as one can find the "Explicit Lyrics" sticker on albums by artists as different as gangsta rapper Snoop Dogg and the early blues diva Bessie Smith. But a good decade or so ago I pulled a CD from a "marked down to next to nothing" bin that had a warning label of kind that I had never before encountered: The music contained herein exudes an intensity rarely evident in popular stylings, and even infrequent within the "deep soul" idiom, and if you are not that familiar with Linda's output, I would genuinely recommend that you sample this CD in smaller doses. I had never heard of Ms Jones at that point, but how could I not put down my 2 bucks and change for a CD that came with that kind of caveat? Linda was signed to Loma records in the 1960s, but never achieved the kind of success that her stable mates Lorraine Ellison or Ike and Tina Turner were blessed with. The excellent double CD "The Best Of Loma Records: The Rise And Fall Of A 1960's Soul Label" contains no less than five songs by Linda, including her almost-hit "Hypnotized". She later signed to Sylvia Robinson's Turbo Records in the early 70s, and unfortunately most of the recordings from that era sound somewhat distorted whenever the technical equipment of the era was outdone by Linda's unique vocal range (which was basically all the time). The first thing that will hit you - hard - about Linda Jones is that she never held back. Her rare joyous songs are ecstatic jubilations, while the majority of her tunes convey a sadness and drama that make you fear Linda has already put the razor blade next to her bath tub. Linda was a bit like Patti Labelle in so far that she did not seem to know any moderation, though her voice is very different from Ms Patti's. If you compare Linda's recording of "I can't Make it Alone" with Dusty Springfield's version, you can't help but notice how much more Linda "got" the lyric. As incomparable and talented as Dusty was, as brilliantly produced as the "Dusty in Memphis" album is, I doubt you'll ever be able to enjoy Dusty's understated reading of the song again once you have sampled Linda's agonized, driven masterpiece interpretation of the King/Goffin composition. When she yells "Help me!" you just want to reach through your speakers and hold on to her for her own, dear life. Linda suffered from health problems, including diabetes, and died at the very young age of 28. The pain in her voice was clearly driven by pain in her life, and maybe she explains her singing style best herself in her spoken, rambling ad libs in the middle of her knock-you-to-your socks cover of Jerry Butler's early hit, For Your Precious Love. If this version of the song sounds remotely familiar to you, that is probably due to the cloned version that Truth Hurts recorded for the soundtrack of the Will Smith movie Ali a few years ago. Personally, I would have preferred if they'd remastered Linda's recording to use it on the soundtrack to introduce more people to this forgotten diva. Anyway, here is what Linda said in that song, and if you click on the clip below, lord have mercy, you can hear her explain herself better than I ever could. You know something ladies? And especially you ladies, I'd like to speak to you. Cause you know something, ladies? If you got a man, I don't care what kind of man you got he'll want you to get down on your knees sometimes and kind of crawl a little. But you know what? I got a man that's somewhere out there that I don't mind crawling to. Sometimes I wake up in the midnight hour with tears rolling down my face. And when I look around for my man, I can't find him. Hell, I fall a little lower, look a little higher Kind of pray to the Lord. Because I always believed the Lord can help me if nobody else could Well sometimes I think he don't even hear me! So I have to fall a little lower on my knees, look a little higher, Kind of raise my voice a little higher And this is what I sing when I call to my man And I especially want you ladies to listen to me Because maybe you can try this It might help you once in a while This is what you sing...

I would guess that anyone that has had a copy would have flipped it, 'cos Morris Chestnut has never cut a bad record. Though I've never heard it played out anywhere other than the odd rare soul night around 20+ years ago.

I have to say that the Delegates is the version for me. Never really got the guitar backing Charles' version, and couldn't see what the fuss was about, apart from the rarity, later find thing going on....IMHO of course

Great tune......It's been getting some turntable action at Lifeline. HUGE.....is what it will be.
