Dennyj Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Are there 3 different label designs for Towana & TD's "Wear yr natural baby" on Romark ? I've got the "black with blue flashes" copy which that nice Mr Dodger sold to me for 3/5th of FA a few yrs back (Bless him !). I know there's an all blue label issue, but a mate has just shown me an all black label issue - it's identical to the blue one, only black, if you know what i mean ?! It looks perfectly legit, and the matrix scratch is identical to my copy. So is the black one real or a good looking bootleg ? Appreciate your comments, cheers Denny

Guest cC B Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 towana of towana & total destruction is TY Karim's daugher so TYs best friend told me who works with her husband kent harris(TY's) keith williams Finally! This is what I've been saying for years Still everybody keeps saying - no, she would have been too young and that it really is Ty herself etc. A guy who sold a lot dead stock copies of Romark things on ebay (which he had bought from Kent Harris)¨said the same thing. Best, Christian B

Best, Christian B This is what most people have been saying for years, I had always thought it was the case but had my doubts when I saw her daughter at the 100 Club as I'm sure she couldn't have been more than a few years older than me, so maybe she had two daughters or the one that I saw had found the fountain of eternal youth? And when is Ady going to release the Ty Karim version of Wear Your Natural, if at all?

The daughter you saw at the 100 Club is Karim Kendra, singing at the time with Red Snapper and who currently has a new 45 doing the rounds (not heard it myself). Towanna is Ty's elder daughter. Ty Karim version ?????? New's to me !! Girf

Towanna is Ty's elder daughter. Ty Karim version ?????? New's to me !! Girf Alright Gareth, hope you're well. Mystery resolved. Well done. Other version I heard on a tape that Dave Flynn had a couple of years back I think. Was a studio take, quite amusing, seemed to be Ty Karim saying Towanna was really stubborn or something then singing the song with apparently Towanna doing backing vocals, was rather good as I recall. We compared it with the 45 a few times to try to work out who was who, maybe there was an alternative take of Towanna too? I'll ask him for the details. Think he had the tape from Ady C but struggling to remember, was a bit delirious with glandular fever at the time. Maybe I dreamt the whole thing. Was also a lovely bluesy midtempo, perhaps, was rather taken with that.
Guest cC B Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 This is what most people have been saying for years (...) Not quite so... Tim Brown wrote in his Rare Soul Review fanzine that Towana was in fact Ty Karim Many people on soul source and the Rare Soul Forum have also claimed that this was a fact, whenever this record was discussed. CB

CB this is the e-mail i received-deleted sender as record contact HELLO KEITH COOL, Glad you dig the 45. Ty's the best. Her husband Kent Harris is a good friend and Alec Palao of Ace Records and I are going to put out a cd with every Ty song including some amazing unreleased stuff that will blow minds!!! But Kent is having a hard time finding pics of Ty, he thinks his kids might have some. His daughter is Towanda of Towanda & Natural destruction fame, early 70's funk, great stuff. We even found the master tape of Ty's rarest 45, You just don't know / All in vain!!! I'll get a hold of you if I get any pics. If you have the time maybe you can leave me posi feedback. Good luck Keith, glad you love the Ty 45!!! keith@soulsearcherrecords.co.uk
Guest cC B Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Great stuff! Thanks for sharing! Best, Christian B
Guest cC B Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Oh, and make sure to share some pictures of Ty and her daughter if you get any! Would love to see them.

Chalky - I wasn't on here 4 months ago so didn't know this had already been discussed. I'm sure other topics are gonna come up in future that have previously been discussed.......dunno why you have to make the point, is it a problem ? cheers Denny
Gasher Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 dunno why you have to make the point, is it a problem ? NO but we can make it one if you want to. haha I mentioned that we covered it before so as YOU know that WE know what WE are talking aboot and not just bullshitting. regards the gasher. PS there will be loads of things you may ask that has been covered in the past but you just get the regular stalwarts who tend to reply without looking to see how long you have been on site.shooting you down in flames.. like that bugger Chalky..haha BLAME HIM

Chalky Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 There's also a black with red like Gash mentioned, thought I had a scan but doesn't look like it. Wonder if there is a green one too
Chalky Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 There's also a black with red like Gash mentioned, thought I had a scan but doesn't look like it. Wonder if there is a green one too The black and red would look like this (anyone with the proper scan?)
Chalky Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 if there was a green copy, not that I've heard of one it would probably look like this....
