Hi Bri

flip that copy of "what have i got now" for a sublime piece of soul

[Paul McKay]

You don't see too many issue copies of "Rising cost of love" The flip "Honey can I" is very good too.

That's my favourite of his, the thinking mans Soul record!

Thought I would add a few missing Darrow Fletcher tracks to Refosoul. This one is mentioned above & is the not-often-seen flip of the release of Rising Cost of Love.

I'm just in the middle of putting together a complete Darrow Fletcher CD (for personal use only of course) & I'm one track missing if anyone can help, as mine's a demo & doesn't have the flip.

The track in question is "Let's Get Together" on Atco 7083

If anyone can help then please send a decent mp3 to sonicfortunes@btinternet.com

ATB, Craig

great track, and easily the rarest of Darrow's recordings......

[Guest Brett F]

Great topic, this is the reason i joined a forum called soul source, just about a superb artist and the music that was made, i have most of the 45's listed and possibly think 'Infatuation'

' and 'no mistake' to be my favourites.

OK, so here is my theory.

If you look at the interview with Darrow Fletcher from the Xmas 1975 Blues & Soul, he talks about recording an album. I reckon that the tracks he recorded were:

It's No Mistake

Try Something New

We've Got To Get An Understanding

This Time (I'll Be The Fool)

Improve

Let's Get Together

Rising Cost Of Love

Honey, Can I

So all the singles released from 1975 onwards were from that session referred to in the article.

[honky]

Live version of "Rising cost of love" at our Dig Deeper night this past January in Brooklyn. Hope to get versions with better audio up eventually - have been too busy booking this year's Brooklyn Soul Festival:

I also have a recording of a late 70's un-released track called "Hope For Love" which is outstanding - but still wanting a mp3 of "Let's Get Together If anyone can help.

Cheers for that Ady, as didn't know that you'd put it out on CD.

I actually got it off a blog site about Darrow & they weren't any details on who'd put it out.

I'm assuming it's an Atlantic recording, & where there anymore stuff?

There weren't really any Atalntic recordings those were all recordings for Ray Charles Tangerine subsidiary label Crossover. This was neither, it was an independent Chicago production.

Ady have you done or are you working on a Darrow Fletcher CD?

Yes and we're getting there slowly. There are also other unissued tracks out in LA.

[Paul McKay]

Just for clarity it was "Hope for love" on the CD not the track you want Craig.

I love snippets of useless information. I've been meaning to start a topic just for snippets like this, stuff too small for a topic of its own.
