@garethx If you're talking about the Sweet Music 45, I've been after this 45 for quite a while. I had one but sold it on and immediately regretted it.

The Joe Tex 45 is sorted, but still looking for the other 3. Cheers!

Hello Everyone, I am looking for M- (hopefully) or VG+ original 45s for: George Carrow/Angel Baby Christopher Cerf/Sweet Music Joe Tex/Under Your Powerful Love Jackie Wilson/Because Of You promo I've got a load of great 45s to offer in return. Cheers!

I was going to suggest telling the record you're hungry, but that just shows it's time to go to lunch. Seriously, I have a few of these around the house. I have been told putting it under a pile of heavy books may help, but haven't had time to give it a go.

Could someone post pictures, please?

Hello Everyone, I've got a nice selection of 45s to offer. I have thousands more, but this is a start. All 45s have been cleaned with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. I have not individually graded these yet, so condition will vary, but will grade them over the Easter weekend. Conditions range from VG to VG+ to some absolute minters. Thanks for looking, and I look forward to hearing from you. All 45s are sent in heavy-duty 45 mailers with cardboard inserts.

Hello All, This is THE record that stuck with me throughout SoulTrip Orlando. I only heard it 2-3 times, but it became the song that is now a higher want. What's it going for these days? Cheers, Tim

Any chance of a future one in fall? Flights from the States are prohibitive in the summer.

Hi Everyone, I actually hadn't heard this one before, but I had heard other 45s from him. I was going through 45s and found an absolute hammered promo that played okay, went through another box and found a mint stock copy, so I'll put the promo out for sale. Cheers!

Hello Everyone, Does Sonny Charles Half As Much get any play out these days? I love most of the song, but the break is sort of iffy for me. Thanks!

Anyone? I am open to offers.

This is regionally restricted for US viewers. Ugh. I really wanted to watch this.

Hi Everyone, I've got a couple of tasty 45s on offer this week -- one Northern Soul crossover, one rare modern soul 45. Both have been play graded with headphones. Both would have to be sent express mail at $30, as this is the only trackable method offered from the US Post Office. The first is Ref-O-Ree 712 - Fred Waters - Don't Let It Get You Down, Boy w/The Winnin' Horse. Labels are in VG condition. The yellow in the label is wearing off a bit on both sides, but the titles are clearly visible. The 45 visually grades VG overall, but the A side is a bit higher than that and plays better than the B side. The 45 plays between VG and VG on A (it is crackly), but still clear vocals and music, and it does play loud. The sound improves as the sound progresses. The B side plays VG and plays crackly (it doesn't play as well as the A side), but there are still pretty clear music and vocals. $250 The second is Blue Candle 1519 - Freak - Life Goes On w/That's What Time It Is. Labels are in EX- condition. The 45 visually grades EX-/VG+ with some faint marks that don't affect play. The 45 plays M- to EX- with loud, clear play. $175 I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Tim

I've got 2 dozen-plus black gospel soul 45s from a lot of obscure labels. Please feel free send offers via PM. I can provide specific details on records, but there are a lot that are in that M-/EX-/VG+ territory, with a few lower. I've got some prices on some below.

That's kind of what I thought. Many thanks! Tim

Hi Everyone, I found a copy of this downstairs. Any idea of value on a promo M-/EX- 45? Cheers!

Hi Everyone, I've seen a few Northern 45s on Columbia where it's a rush reservice white label pressing. Would this be acceptable to play out as OVO? Many thanks.

Hello Everyone, This is the direct link to the PBS site for this. It will be shown on Tuesday, 1 March at 8 pm eastern. https://www.pbs.org/inperformanceatthewhitehouse/ Cheers!

I'm not sure if this will be available to view outside the US, but here's a taster of a PBS special of The White House celebrating Motown, with live performances from Stevie Wonder, etc. https://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2011/02/25/natpkg.motown.whitehouse.pbs?hpt=T2 Enjoy!

Just ordered the book and am looking forward to reading this at SoulTrip. I bet this would sell well at the record show at SoulTrip. Cheers!

That version of "I Learned The Hard Way" is absolutely brilliant! Can't wait to see them in Orlando in March (just a couple of days before SoulTrip)!

I've heard quite a few samples of this and am really impressed. This is going on the wish list, as is the 45.

I personally prefer "The Night" to listen to. I remember the first time I had a copy of the Ride 45 with picture sleeve (good record, poor sleeve) and played the flip -- I was absolutely blown away -- goosebumps and all!
