Nothing to delete fella , it's a list of great tunes that have had me bounding for that hallowed basement floor on a regular basis. Darrow Fletcher is one of the greatest finds of the recent era in my humble opinion. No point trying to converse with such negativity mate. Edited July 11 by Woodbutcher 1

I'm sure Clarkie when he found a batch at the time , said he had made contact with Jan Jones and she was supplying him with copies , I know they where very reasonably priced he had that many copies , he currently has a black & white promotion photo of Jan Jones for auction on eBay if anybody wants one .

Twoshoes Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I've recently been playing cds that I haven't listened to for years, steadily working my way through 300 or so, got to the modern /crossover/Luther Vandross etc and this thread came to mind when I was listening to this cd. Not sure when it came out but in the blurb Kev Roberts ends with the line"welcome to the new Northern Soul". Hope it's of relevant for the original poster. 2

If all it required was google there would be no need for this site, would there? We could all be out there online on our own, individually searching for and even occasionally finding the same stuff. But it would be a bit of a waste of time to replicate all that effort when we could have - I dunno -a forum where like-minded people could share information. Thanks to all those who suggested tunes - much appreciated. I've obviously heard a lot of them, but a lot more I haven't heard so (having been away for a week) I will spend between now and the football tracking them down and listening.

It used to be on his Detroit catalogue. The other side is ok as well, if my memory serves me correctly. 1

Peter99 Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Has Tony Fox - Let Love.......... been mentioned yet. One of my favourite modern tracks - awesome dancer. From memory I think that everyone thought this was LP only for a while, then some 45's showed up. Martin (Sam) spin? I think I may have/had the album at some point but as you know I gave my last collection away a couple of years ago - for nothing. The LP is tough, and the 45 even harder. Peter 2

They needed a flip side for Rock Candy A side "I Don't Think I'll Find Another Love" so used the Contemplations track! Nearly, here’s what Kevin Coombe posted elsewhere Kevin Coombe posted this information about Rock Candy elsewhere. I asked and received permission from Kevin to post here, many thanks Kevin. Rock Candy. Over the years I’ve read numerous posts relative to the recording of their 45, and I’ve even witnessed a few stylized (but ultimately fictional) anecdotes attempting to explain how The Contemplations were connected. Half a decade before I stumbled upon the pictured promo-shot, I used to pine and wonder — will the real Rock Candy ever stand up? Well, they ultimately did, or at least their legacy came to light. Now I’d like to share with you the basics so we can all combat misinformation together. Let’s begin. Having risen from the ashes of The Crescents in 1967, The Contemplations — who consisted of four vocalists — began making a name for themselves DC’s NE quadrant. Armed with newfound confidence, their de-facto leader, Matthew Allen, pitched an original composition to his neighbor — musician, producer, writer, and label owner Joe Tate. Excited about its potential, the industry veteran agreed to a recording session in NW, DC, followed by a release on his closely held imprint, Dontee’. “Alone With No Love” was born. Unfortunately, Matthew Allen’s commitment to a rigorous college schedule forced him to exit the group come ‘71, and they briefly stalled — until Joe made a suggestion. One of Tate’s other vocal groups, a three man outfit who called themselves Rock Candy, were struggling in the studio. He ordered that the remaining three Contemplations briefly replace Rock Candy’s two backing vocalists, giving their lead Tyrone Anderson what he needed to finish a Tate original. All parties agreed, and “I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Love Another” was complete. Tate then pitched the use of “Alone With No Love” as the subsequent single’s flip since most of the Contemplations were involved with both projects. Allen gave his blessing, and the single was pressed. That being said, the former Contemplations did not stick with Tyrone, instead opting to form a new group — The Natural Fact, until they went their separate ways. The promo shot pictured here features the group after the return of the former backers. 2

So after reading that it seems The Contemplations "Alone With No Love" 101 was used for the flip of Rock Candy 103. But some of Rock Candy that recorded "I Don't Think I'll Find Another Love" had been members of the Contemplations group. Edited August 3 by Solidsoul 1

Yep the album was first; it was thought that the 45 didn't exist and then someone found one - or more. I seem to recall that Sean Hampsey knows the story too. I haven't seen Sean on here for ages. He's a good soul man and all round good chap. Peter
Becket Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Sam Dees - found love love in my own back yard (unreleased Chess 45) Heard this played out a few times in the Modern Room, Cleggy Weekenders. I thought it was a stand out tune. No sound file anywhere that I can find. Obviously you would want to keep this exclusive. Cannot remember who the DJ was that had it - someone please remind me. I take it to be an acetate or pre-release copy. Deffo would be a great 45 to have if it had achieved a proper release eh ?
