    Sorry but after all these recent R.I.P threads your post gave me almost a heart attack!

    CLARENCE GREEN - DOIN' IT - AQUARIUS 1002 - 200 GBP Lovely yellow issue. Just one tiny visible but not audible scratch shy of EX grade. Labels clean. A bit too funky for my liking. So I'd like to offer it to trade 1:1 for something less funky of similiar value. 60s Northern preferred. Can supply label scan/sound file if required. Please PM for further details.

    The market was flooded with Fred Hymes copies in the early 2k. Think they all came from "Brookly-Born" (aka Rich Rosen). Allegedly old store stock.

    Seems to be an issue with the bulk upload interface or users not filling in the template correctly. I've come across many items on Discogs recently that have silly price tags on first look. But on second look it's just the decimal place that is wrong, e.g $1850 instead of $18.50.

    6 Discogs users claim to own a copy if that's of any indication.

    and after all, it's pure pop in my opinion. Be it by Arthur Prysock or Allan Scott or whoever.

    There's a Joyce Harris who sang with the Slades but obviously wasn't in the band (them being an all-male outfit). Texas release. Cholli Maye Gold 45 is from the east coast. Same singer? I doubt.

    Maybe it's the demand from the Northern scene that increases prices in absolute numbers. But I think it's been the lowrider/sweet soul 45s that are skyrocketing these days in relation to what they did cost say 10/15 years. And many if not most of them are bought by UK collectors.

    Again. He never claimed to own all the records he posted on YT, did he? Then why bother trying to "unmask" him?

    nice little 2min documentary. It's not saying Northern Soul went away and is now coming back. It's saying it's popular again with the youth/younger crowd. And that it's all about dancing and everybody's welcome. Of course you have also some "journalistic inaccuracy". Like when the voice-over talks about rare US soul records and the vid shows a CD player And of course you have the obligatory Wigan Casino reference in it.

    Soul Inc 7" and LP version of WGUMCD sound like the same version to me. Clearly studio recordings. Maybe they didn't have enough live material for an entire album and added this studio cut?
  13. Benji
    According to Discogs and based on the linked YT vids as reference (and I know how easy it is to link the wrong video) my understanding is: 7" Emblem 101 - Soul Inc. WGUMCD (Studio Cut) LP Emblem 106 - Soul Inc WGUMCD (Studio cut, rest of album is "live") 7" Emblem 109 - Charts Unlimited WGUMCD (same song but completely different version) Correct? PS: Sorry for hijacking the John & Wierdest thread.

    And M- NOS copies turned up some years ago.

    Terrible? Valadiers is a great example of the early Motown sound. I love it.
  16. Benji
    it's not the first but infact the third reissue/bootleg of it. Do you know if this one was legal? The Hamilton Movement / Nat Hall – She's Gone / Why (I Want To Know) – Vinyl (7", Single, Unofficial Release), [r1424482] | Discogs

    Sam & Bill is not a demo. All german “Amercian Series” Decca 45s are on white labels but not demos.
  18. Benji
    Anthony Hall was another bargain. It's probably one of the best Popcorn records I've ever heard.
  19. Benji
    I think Lucky Charms was rather reasonable. Although I don't know what condition it was in. How rare is the Larry Allen release these days? From what I remember the L. Allen 2nd press is much more common but even that seems to have vanished....
  20. Benji
    sure because it can't get worse than the a-side
  21. Benji
    ups, didn't read the comments.
  22. Benji
    Does anybody recognize the other songs in the vid? I haven't played it through, skipped parts. Marion Sodd, Voicemasters, Black Stash. what else?
  23. Benji
    Sorry, missed Sorry, was distracted for a minute and when I continued to type my reply I thought you were saying it might be a new production. Note to myself: pay more attention. I agree with you, it has that late 60s/early 70s sound beach sound.

    I'll never forget this quote from Derek Pearson about Mike & Ray - If only you knew. It's just as fitting for Margaret Little: "Vocally a bit iffy but what a backing"
  25. Benji
    Really? It doesn't sound modern to me. At least not over laptop speakers. Not saying it's def not a modern days effort. It reminds me of stuff like Greater Experience or Soul Inc - Proposal. Especially the horns sound very much like Gary Knight - Holding on to me. If it was a modern production it's a very convincing for me.
