Not heard the Hour Glass thing, I like it! The blurb points to a west coast production but has an extremely beachy south east feel to it, maybe not surprising since the Allman Bros were I believe from Macon, and Georgia is next door to Carolinas!

Is this on 45?

The Hour Glass track is known on the Northern scene and I managed to get a copy of the L.P.

In a recent conversation with one of the Allman brothers it was suggested that that track 'Out Of The Night' appeals to Northern Soul afficionados and he was a bit perplexed to say the least, i can't remember where I read that now? It may have been Greg's 'Hey Baby Days Of Beach Music'???

Chalky , I may be wrong but I think Rob Thomas has/had the J.B. Willingham track? Not a lot of help I know :lol:

The Hour Glass track was one Rob sourced from Lew Stanley on acetate.

We played it quite a bit covered-up as The Seven Souls - It's Time

The reason for this being that Henry Moore, who co-wrote the song with Robert Welch, also composed 'I Still Love You' & 'I'm No Stranger' that the Seven Souls recorded .. he also wrote a track called 'Seven Souls Theme'.

I got the J.B. Willingham 8" acetate from James in addition to his 'demo' version of 'I'd Think It Over Twice'.

Hi Andy - So that's an 8" - I didn't know about that one !! - Nice

Is it the same take as the 7" I wonder ? (The sound clip in the opening post is exactly the same as the 7" Accociated, at least as far as the soundclip plays)

Cheers

I've seen several of these "R&B" acetates,featuring various artists. Never been quite sure what to make of them.

There are a couple of interesting references on the net.

https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/tams.htm

The Tams discog in the link above has this - "R & B (no #) - Laugh It Off / I've Been Hurt - 1977 (came in a plain white label with red logo lettering with "A '77 Lori Production" and "Dynatone Recording" typed on label - these are alternate versions of earlier charted tracks)"

There is a little more regarding this Tams 45 here - https://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/southernsoul/message/38720
