Hi KB Ady Dundas has an EX copy on EB for £1200. Good luck. Angus
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

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

There are two versions, one on the Soul Fox Label done by Soussan, and another one with overdubbed strings and lead violin played by Winstanley on an acetate, but dropped when Sousan did his Soul Fox Bootleg. I'd guess both were from Soussan, he just played about with one sent it to Winstanley as an acetate, and booted / pressed the other version...
Here is a link to a thread where it was discussed >>HERE<<
Wow, didn't know Russ played the violin!!!😀

Thanks for starting the thread. This record is heading to Crocker Towers to replace the bootleg with an uneven Archer stamp. Sadly, no Archer stamped issue has been available for sale recently so this 3M variant will have to suffice until the1968 pressing pops up.
As mentioned above, the true first pressing is pretty scarce and rarely seen for sale. This may be due to the limited output of the Archer pressing plant in Detroit. If Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler were only able to press a small quantity of records in October 1968, they might have been disappointed with the situation given their investment in the record. Understandably, they had faith in the record as it was a great sound so naturally they turned to another pressing plant to deliver a larger quantity of records. Lorraine Chandler described the situation as one of pressing a legal reissue.
Theorising a little here, this record could have had experienced problems at the Archer plant hence a very rapid re-pressing at another plant. If the October 1968 pressing quantity was inadequate, Jack and Lorraine may have decided to remedy the situation in November 1968, put a fresh order in during December 1968, had the records pressed in January 1969 and taken delivery in February 1969. The 3M pressings were distributed between March and May 1969 judging from the dates on the photos earlier in the thread - 31/3/69 and 7/5/69 using the British system and not the confusing American one.
So, maybe Eddie Parker is a bit like the East Coast - West Coast pressing situation where a label would use two plants. Major labels like Decca would sometimes have second, third, fourth and fifth issues as the pressing stampers deteriorated or demand for a sound continued to grow. Perhaps it’s time to regard the Eddie Parker record as something of an anomaly - if it was pressed in early 1969, then it surely is worth having. The promoters behind the 1969 pressing certainly had belief in the record given the X’s on the labels in thick black marker-pen and the wider distribution.
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???)

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.

Dee Dee cut the original version which is okay but doesn't compare to Doris Troy's version. Doris said she came
in and sang over the tracks and changed the lyrics a bit and ended up getting co-writer's credits.
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

Once you've completed the training are you allowed to have letters after your name. This would let everybody know your status.
Perhaps...

I don't think the UK copies "jump" as such. I think it's just something to do with the recording. It's as if the sound for the UK copy was taken from a USA copy that DID jump. So, the actual vinyl on UK copies is fine, it's just the recording. Hope that makes sense!!
Take a listen (and look) at 1min 45 seconds on this JM youtube clip. You can hear it BUT I can't see the needle jump.
I picked up a USA copy on ebay from a seller in Sweden for a very good price in 2020. I think it was listed in the wrong category.

There was a thread in 2015 which I chipped in on (see below). My old NAD 3020e from 1987 is STILL going strong. It has a Mono button.
There are some on eBay, here's an example (I have no connection to the seller, it's just for info)
Cheers,

"You Can Split" is a particular favorite of mine. Youngblood Smith also recorded as Quick Brown Fox. His real name appears to be Richie Bellina.
There was a previous thread about his identity in 2014..
When I saw @Roger Banks was selling the QBF record today, I started having a mooch on the internet/youtube.
Anyway, on youtube you can find video of "Manny and the YUNKsters". A guy called "Richie Bellina" was the singer. As referenced in the previous thread, the "Youngblood Smith" Richie was from ManaYUNK in Philly PA.. So, it doesn't seem too far fetched to think they are the same guy.
So, is this video from 1990 our man "Youngblood Smith"?? He appears at 33 seconds in.
Any thoughts?

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... !!
