January 25, 200718 yr Thanks to Dave Rimmer top website, here it is, Andy... 6T2 A - Melba Moore - The Magic Touch. 6T2 B - The Chuck Jackson Rhythm & Blues Ensemble - Little By Little. The 1986 single comes out of New York with Melba Moore's fantastic unreleased dancer 'The Magic Touch', this is about as good as it gets for a Norther Soul record, a massive record for Ady at The 100 Club, backed with a brassy instrumental titled 'Little By Little' from the Chuck Jackson Rhythm & Blues Ensemble.
January 25, 200718 yr thats brilliant, thanks guys, so if it was 86 must have been the 7th anniversary single i guess

Am I right...? Yes!! Ady says -the title track was origanlly recorded by the Bobby Fuller Four on Mustang Records. However Bobby disliked the number, considering it a soul song not appropriate to his west coast rock style. This then is the legendary lost soul version, the third recording on the 'Don't cry singalong with the music session of Melba Moore's on 17th May 1966. The other two tracks were pressed up as Musicor No1189, but for some inexplicable reason this beaut was left to languish into the vaults until the kent sourcers conjured it onto your dancefloors- unquote. Sorry Mel looked out the LP the other day when I read your post and never got round to answering.
January 25, 200718 yr No probs Monique/Sue didnt billy and the essentials do a version or am I getting mixed up with bobby fuller? Edited January 25, 200718 yr by melandthensome

Why would you have any compliants it's the only way to play it on vinyl, that's what so bloody stupid of us, it's on a uk only so don't play it even though it's top notch northern, crazy. I spun it last time I DJ'd and would have given any complainer a mouth full for being so stupid, so should every other DJ.

January 26, 200718 yr My itunes library is down at the moment but has anyone got an mp.3 of Melba's 'I Got Love' to put up too? Edited January 26, 200718 yr by Simon White
January 27, 200718 yr Bobby Fuller Four's version on Mustang is in my opinion equally good although with a different aproach to it. A real massive "wall of sound" kind of production which stomps along nicely. T hink I have a spare copy of the Mustang 45 here somewhere if anyone needs a copy.
January 27, 200718 yr Bobby Fuller met a grusome death when he was kidnapped by a gangster whose girlfriend he had been knocking off & pumped full of petrol.
January 27, 200718 yr i seem to remember Keb spinning Melba Moore "Magic Touch" at TOTW before it got issued on the Kent anniv 45.....from an acetate cut from the unissued tape......
January 27, 200718 yr Paul it would be great to see ya again mate hey.remember pete callanders SX225. TAKE IT EASY MATE mel Edited January 27, 200718 yr by melandthensome

January 27, 200718 yr The "Horace's" release is dated '86. I bought it and Horace's 102 and 103 on 20th June '88 so presumably the song must have been issued first on something else in '86
January 27, 200718 yr Richard I was told that Melba tours all over the place would be great if someone could get her to come over here wouldnt it..... mel

January 27, 200718 yr I started playing it at the 100 Club on an acetate Kent had done for me and I got one for Keb at the same time which he played at Stafford and Leicester and around the country. The anniversary single would have been 1986 and the Horaces release 1988. There were two or three presses on Horaces (later ones have bar codes) and eventually it came out on Kent I think in the nineties. It's still available on a Kent single with Dean's 'Bricks' on the flip.
