I think its one of those Nev that due to demand disappear from the face of the earth. As Kirsty said there is a thread on this, the last 2 copies reportedly having gone for £135 and £200. Kev

Fantastic description Paul, must admit "Just as long as we,re in love" comes a very close 2nd for me after "Do what you gotta do babe" and I agree, some of the greatest 70,s soul ever recorded. Regards, Kev

Does anyone out there know this album or own a copy. I have asked around a lot of soulfull folk and drawn a blank everytime. I know it is a bold statement considering the volume of quality that they have put out but in my opinion this is their finest hour. From 1972 this LP cotains 6 ballads of gut wrenching effect with the "Jewel in the crown" being the life changing " Do what you gotta do babe". Any Dells buffs out there, if you don,t already have this, search every inch of the globe for it, If you haven,t heard it I envy you the thrill.

Here here Sean, "The Bullmeister" has been flooding myself, Gaz Simon and PJF with top quality CD,s for a while now. Crossover, 60,s, 70,s 80,s and Deep stuff, no categorising, just simply SOUL MUSIC. Myself and the aforementioned have been listening to and collecting SOUL MUSIC for over 30 years and if you add the stuff he has put us onto there is another 30 years of listening and collecting to be done, I think his inspiration comes from what all genuine Soul lovers have and that is once they hear something that blows you away, you just have to share it with like minded folk. Keep em coming Bully Boy.

The reason I am replying on Joans quote is because I can remember 20 Years ago talking to Joan about the record I am going use as an example for this thread. It was at the 100 club and I was talking to her about The International Kansas City Playboys version of "Quittin Time" on Wheelsville, what do you know a few moments later it comes on, I am straight up, within 20 seconds I could feel the imaginary "shepherds crook" around my neck dragging me off the floor, "big big mistake".

Saw Buddy Guy and Junior Wells in Newcastle in 1987 and they were absolutely brilliant. I saw Aretha at the Victoria Appollo in 1978 and she stank the joint out. She didn,t want to "get down" at all. She never got out of 1st gear, instead singing M.O.R. like Streets Of London. I must admit though I had been warned that she was very temperamental. I am probably setting myself up here but the Masqueraders ended up being a let down for me at Prestatyn. The reason I say this is because Lee Jones was not there and for a long time I have considered him as right up there with the best as far as Male vocalists are concerned. It was a bit going to see the Temps in their day and finding out David Ruffin wasn,t there. Phil Perry in the modern room at Prestatyn though was magnificent.

How are you doing Daz If it is still there, keep the Bunny Sigler for me, should have had it ages ago, let me know. See you soon Me and Gaz are on at Joes on Friday if you fancy a beer and a chat.

Music from the gods mate. I have The Icemen, Lew Kirton, Soul Children and Mckinley Mitchell ( I think you made a slight slip on the keyboard) the others I will be looking out for if you say they are anywhere near as good as the aforementioned, hats off to you mate , great taste. Kev.

Can anyone out there remember a record that Rob Marriot used to play back in the day. The record was by The Speedlimits, " I can,t say no to my baby" I think it was an acetate out of Philadelphia. I have it on tape and its an absoloute group stormer. Does anyone know of its whereabouts or indeed has anybody heard it played anywhere.

Fantastic record, while we are on the subject of SUBLIME what about Bobby Sansom- Don,t leave-Sublime, mid tempo masterpiece known to quite a few but seriously undervalued due to lack of turntable action. This is the type of record that could disappear from the face of the earth and rocket in price when mid-tempo stuff becomes accepted again within the soul society. Another tip, Leon Haywood-You and your moody ways-Evejim a great mid-tempo crossover gem available for next to nowt. In the right hands, a potential monster. The flip " You know what" is a great ballad, you just cannot lose with this.
