Sissie Houston, bring him back
I have a Demo, but the red star is ABOVE the CG-268 number on the left side! So, that's an additional one to those listed on Discogs.

Less common original labels of classics
Thanks for the reply. It does seem to be very scarce. If you decide to release Tony back into the wild, let me know!!

Less common original labels of classics
Agreed - very nice! What country does it come from? Italy, Canada??

John Manship auction fees.
Whenever I've been successful on John's auction, I paid the winning bid plus postage. With those Omega auctions that run occasionally, you end up paying an additional 28.8% (ish!!). In that situation, if you will go as high as say ÂŁ500, your highest bid would be ÂŁ388 (ÂŁ500 divided by 1.28). Equally, if you win an item for ÂŁ500, you'll pay ÂŁ644 (ÂŁ500 multiplied by 1.28). Hope that helps. KB

Temptations TMG 587 - test pressing?
Just as a reference or bit of additional information, I have this Temptations British Test Press of TMG 633. It is vinyl and has the raised KT mark on the center and correct machine stamps on both sides. There's no sign of LPFB on it. There doesn't seem to be much demand or value in these. I got this from eBay a few years ago for a couple of pounds. I don't think anyone else bid.

Hi Tim, I have this ZTSP one which is Styrene. Is that the one you wanted to know about? If not, sorry for butting in!! Cheers, Kev Bod

Value of Darrow Fletcher on REO
I like to buy Canadian records occasionally. I'm sure that I was watching a few items from a Canadian seller, very recently, that included one of these. The starting bid was $50. It didn't sell on first listing. When they relisted, I think it went for the minimum bid of $50. If you like classic records on something a little different, they're nice to pick up. However, it doesn't seem to be a big market with mass appeal. Cheers

Northern Soul and Neurodiversity
I don't think that "The Soul Scene" has any more or less "Neurodivergent" folks than any other special interest or hobby. It just provides a platform or outlet for those traits to be displayed. About 35 years ago, my wife bought me a scalextric set as a bit of a joke present. I bought a few more bits and bobs and, after a while, I visited a "slot car" racing club! They were all nice people, but talk about obsessive behavior... !!

Sorted - Angela Davis - My Love (is so strong)
Hi Angus, Thanks for getting in touch. I've seen that one and the one on Discogs. Think it's a little too much based on the current market and info from a couple of people on this site re prices they've sold for in the last 6 months. So... I'll wait for the right copy at the right price. Always more records than money!!! All the best, KB

Sorted - Angela Davis - My Love (is so strong)
Hi, I'm looking for an original in nice condition please. Angela Davis - My Love Is So Strong. I've seen the 2 on Discogs which I think are way too expensive, taking into account recent sales that I'm aware of. Please send a p.m. with details of condition and the price you are looking for. Payment by Paypal. Thanks KB

Renaissance (Lea Manor)
If you're planning out your Bank Holiday adventures, have a think about including us!! Playing your past, present and future favorites. As I had COVID for most of February, I've had plenty of time to sort through the record boxes and come up with a few unexpected gems. It'll be chance to have a play about before the adults start! See you there.

EDDIE PARKER
I think that sounds reasonable. The vinyl on the non-Archer stamp copy I have is different/better/"smoother" than the uneven Archer copy I have. I'd still like a Demo or Archer stamped one but I'm happy this isn't one done especially to meet demand on the UK scene. I think the uneven Archer one WAS done for the NS scene I think it may be a similar situation with other records that were re-pressed at the time - 2 Bob Relf's, 4 (?) Tommy Neal's, 3 (?) Majestics etc. Just my thoughts - but I still want a Demo or Archer stamp one PLEASE(anybody???)
-
EDDIE PARKER
I think it's fantastic and would love to buy one with the correct "ARCHER" stamp, Demo or Issue. As mentioned above, perhaps out of step with current tastes. I got this from eBay a number of years ago. The sellers owned a second hand shop in USA selling household bric-a-brac and wouldn't post to the UK. So, Bob A (boba on here R.I.P.) bought it for me and posted it over here. No stamp but all the same markings as the copy just sold.

Renaissance (Lea Manor)
Just a reminder, you can message me to purchase tickets. They can either be posted out or reserved on the door. Please don't forget to include your address in the message if you want them posted. Cheers, KB

Renaissance (Lea Manor)
For those of you who attended our first event at Bilston, here we go for Round 2. If youâre planning your nights out in March, give this a try. It will certainly freshen up your diary as a break from the usual treadmill of events. As they say âif you always do what youâve done, youâll always get what youâve gotâ. In some cases that can be good but sometimes, just sometimes, it can feel like âGroundhog Dayâ!! This is a TOP QUALITY venue, genuinely outstanding. Itâs clean and friendly with a cracking Built-In sound system. Thereâs loads of convenient parking in and around the venue. As you approach, you get that tingle as the muffled sounds start to come into focus. Through the doors, up the stairs and the night starts. The sounds youâll hear will cover a wide range of styles and eraâs. You will be certain to hear some much loved favorites, you'll be reminded of forgotten gems and no doubt add to that list as the DJâs selected produce a little bit of MAGIC! Hope to see you there.

Doris Troy 'I'll Do Anything' + flips UK versus USA
Doris Troy is one of my favorite songs. I wasn't aware of the Dee Dee Sharp version so thanks @The Yank and @Simon T. Was the Dee Dee version ever issued on vinyl - either at the time or subsequently? Thanks
