BTW in the "Soul Survivors" book, Russ lists it by its cover up artist...which begs the question, did he actually have an Arctic copy or just a dub he was fed?

MrsWoodsrules Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Yeah, there were lots of girlie tunes late 70's wasn't there? Thinking of stuff like GERRI THOMAS, LOOK WHAT I GOT, PEGGY MARCH, IF YOU LOVE ME or even PAULA DURANTE'S IF YOU WERE MINE, all big floor fillers, the place was certainly in touch with it's feminine side at that time. All the real manly hard edged vocals seemed to have been from earlier, you know the stuff, Del Larks, Don Varner, even Johnny Sayles, REAL MAN SOUL, the soul equivalent to Steak & Chips as opposed to Smoked Salmon Blini's Edited December 25, 2014 by MrsWoodsrules

Colouredman Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 In no particular chronological order, and a mixture of excellent, and the good bad and ugly from Wigan; all were big though, and some beyond huge! Some are just plain funny. Little Joe Romans (Still super rare) Night Owl (Nothing was bigger than this mid 70’s at the Casino!) Danny Monday (Likewise this) Wakefield Sun Trypt on love General Assembly Sensitive mind Detroit Landapples Ollie Jackson Day my heart stood still. The Jewells Construction Lamont Cranston Band Colouredman Gary Lewis My hearts symphony (I kid you not!) Baja Marimba band Along comes Mary Paul Peek Im movin uptown EJ Chandler Jackie Forrest Show me how to love Lindy Stevens Pennygold Decca Johnny Vanelli Lou Roberts (All) Deadbeats No second chance (Probably more speculation about this as a cover up than any other RS record ever.... rumoured to be the rock group ‘Whitesnake’ at some point!) Seeds Pushin too hard (horrible horrible record but huge for Russ) Trade Martin She put the hurt Cherry People And suddenly The Poppies Pain in my heart 1
Ian Parker Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Whitesnake, really ? I've heard some daft rumours about certain groups, but thats the best yet.
