Thanks Mike. This is proving more difficult than I imagined. I've passed up any number of 'Gallants' 'cos I thought they were all pressings, but not come across a 'Galliant' in reasonable nick for a reasonable price. Such is the fun of searching for records :-). John

The F***in' Snake!!!!

All good info. Thank very much. John

Ok fellas. Thanks very much for all your contributions - much appreciated.

If you check on YouTube, both labels are represented. The differences are small. It's just that I read somewhere recently about this, and wondered if anyone could come up with a definitive answer.

I thought the real label was Galliant, not Gallant. There are various labels all called Gallant, but none had a 1000 numbering series?

Allus been a sucker!

I've got one of these. Great tune. Same both sides. Cost a tenner. John

Interesting thought - there are people around who don't seem to actually care, or even have an opinion, on anything at all. Rather than being carefree, as you might expect from the term, they tend to be morbidly miserable. Just an observation..

Yes, we can start searching Ebay, or whatever, all over again :-) In fact just provide the same box of 50 for us to look through every morning. That'll be something new for social services to get their heads round.

I have no doubts about this - I'm well turned 60, the house is paid for, the lad has buggered off, and our lass and I have the best social life we've ever had thanks mainly to the fact that we kept a distant interest in the soul scene all through the years when we couldn't go anywhere. Now we're back 'at it', and it's brilliant. We've no intention of growing old gracefully (how f***ing boring is that?), and if I end up shuffling about to mid-tempo rarities with a zimmer at Happy Valley Rest Home some day then great.

Thanks Steve, missed the other thread.

Why does the real world have to keep getting in the way :-)?

If so, somone's picked up a little bargain. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAM-FLETCHER-TOP-RARE-NORTHERN-SOUL-POPCORN-TOLLIE-ORIGINAL-/110893366443?pt=UK_Records&hash=item19d1c27cab&autorefresh=true

Interesting here, to me a least, is that no-one has mentioned the styles that are collectively known as Rhythm and Blues. R&B seems to broadly spans the gap between out-and-out Soul and pure Blues. I've always placed artists such as Boby Bland and Z.Z. Hill in this area, though, of course, their material cuts right across the spectrum as a whole. If I may go slightly off the original question, I don't think that the mentality that deliberately refuses to accept certain songs or artists because they aren't whatever the definition says they should be is at all helpful or desirable. A lot of R&B gets played at Soul nights, and, of course, the Mod scene has always accepted a wide variety of tunes from Soul, R&B, Blues, Ska, Latin, 60s Beat etc., etc. Music is a continuum, not a series of clearly defined chunks, and there is great material to be heard at any event, no matter how is it advertised or marketed. So, I don't think it's all that important what niche you place Bobby or Z.Z. in: their music is wonderful, and that's all that matters.

I suppose the question is do you buy records to look at them or to play them? Given that the latter is, of course, the reason why they were ever produced in the first place, then, to me, how it sounds should take priority when describing a piece of vinyl. Having said that, I've lost count of the number of absolute bargains I've picked up because they were visually graded and had surface scuffs or label damage but actually play superbly. So, perhaps I'd better not argue this point too strongly, I'd be shooting myself in the foot. :-)

Crikey, had this since year dot and never spun it over, or, if I did, must have thought, 'Can't play that!'. What a gorgeous tune! Just right for today's more soulful, chilled events.

Sent PM. Cheers John
