boba Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I really like: Soul Brothers Six - you're my world Emanons - one heart Imperial C's
45cellar Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Love BOTH sides, remember playing this when I first started collecting via the UK Direction Copy The Start of a Lifetimes collecting. Notice it doesn't mention Phil La Of Soul.
Kris Holmes Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 How much of this label got UK press on Action before Direction? I think I have Fantastic Johnny C on Action somewhere, are there others?
45cellar Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 I have this on London American Label - Possibly the first time that I ever heard the Label "Phil La Of Soul" Albeit " PHIL OF SOUL" or "PHIL - SOUL" on the London Label for some reason. Remember wondering about this ("Then") Mysterious U.S.A Label. Another there at the birth of my collection. I've got to thank the people behind these 60s releases. - Didn't realize it at the time, but they carved a very deep notch in my Record Collection.
Kris Holmes Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 white label Helene Smith is the boot b/w Frank Williams.
John Reed Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Does any one know the story behind the lone Oscar Perry release of Come On Home To Me/Gimme Some on Phil.La.of Soul? Was it a local hit on Peri-Tone and then re-released to gain a wider distribution?
45cellar Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Here's another, down as Phil La Of Soul 364 Also released on Phoenix
Kris Holmes Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 what's the story with that orange label, don't know if i've seen that before?

Val (Chunky) Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 what's the story with that orange label, don't know if i've seen that before? I think it may be a reissue from the west coast. It is in Stereo! A copy went for a few bob a few years ago. https://www.popsike.com/CLIFF-NOBLES-Love-Is-All-Right-RARE-ALTERNATIVE-VERSION/330217813700.html
Platters 81 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 what's the story with that orange label, don't know if i've seen that before? the orange label is similar to the design/layout /colour of the West Coast Dionn issue of Brenda + Tabs "Hey Boy"..which although retaining the orig delta matrix i was told was a 70ts reissue....like the orange Bill Lucas....
Kris Holmes Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 how many on this label exist in both vinyl & styrene?
Dean Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Gave this a play out once and got a little deck peeping. Worth looking up in my opinion, should be cheap.
KevH Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Can't find a scan of Fantastic Johnny C - "New love" - Phil La.....(re-issue of Johnny Mirage on Mirage).
Val (Chunky) Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 just thought I would add that Joey Gilmore also came out on Saadia
Dean Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Not my copy i hasten to add,mine's EX+.... Have you played me this recently Kev? I was watching this one on ebay last week (could be two week ago now) and forgot to get back to it in time. Went for $29.99 to the only bidder, which unfortunately wasn't me. I couldn't place my interest in it, but knew I was. I'll now blame you for my disappointment Edited July 13, 2011 by Dean

John Elias Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 there ya go....anyone know the significance of the fishbone?
Steve Edgar Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Tyrone Ashley's (AKA Sammy Campbell of Del-Larks fame) 2nd release on the label, often wondered who Sam is dueting with? been told it was a very young Eddie Hazel the late great guitarist with Funkadelic?? dunno if that's true? steve
Steve Edgar Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 None other than Herb Ward, superb soulful track, wish Herb had put out more stuff then the handful he did steve
Steve Edgar Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Only record I know by this lady, anyone know of any more by her? steve

Was it a local hit on Peri-Tone and then re-released to gain a wider distribution? Always wondered about this myself John............hope someone on here can shed some light Did it get a release on Peri-Tone ???......... "Gimme Some" I mean I know 'Come Home To Me" is the flip to "I Got What You Need" Cheers Paul
John Elias Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 "fillet of sole" - as in the label name THANKS,do you know that did cross my mind !

jocko Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Can there be anyone other than this, nver played enough, then pulled out by the master Butch. Tricky Dicky's Dee Dee Gartrell c/u, probably the greatest NS record ever, and for all those numptys that say Butch won't be missed, this sort of pull out show why if he does pack in the scene is fu***ed in any progressive scene! 1
Soul Shrews Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Paul, this one? I guess thats it John.............thanks for the scan Cheers Paul
Anoraks Corner Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Love this one...have six different versions taken from the tape vaults! I used to play the one out which doesn't feature the elongated funky guitar break (as enjoyable as it is).

Think Butch's copy came from AdyC...an interesting trade it was I also have an alternative take of this track as well!
Steve G Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Has anyone seen: Helene Smith "Lets wait until dark" Thunder Lightning & Rain "Super funky" And Neil Brown "My soul is running over" ? on Phil La of Soul? Steve Edited August 10, 2012 by Steve G
John Reed Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 John Ridley on his web site says that Helene Smith was allocated a number, but thinks it probably didn't get pressed. When I actively collected the label, I never saw any of these, but that was before the internet really took off, so maybe they might really be around.
