Info Please - Matt & Robert On Soft Records


Dean

Recommended Posts

Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge and I'm the only person not in the know (wouldn't be the first time!)

Picked up a great (imo) version of Mr Pitiful by MATT & ROBERT on Soft Records (S-1036). Got it from Barrie at A45heaven (which I would take the opportunity to praise through the roof, both via set sale and ebay, always great condition great service and value). Seeing flip was 'Soul of a Man', remebering this is flip to Robert Thomas -Salvation (plus Bobby Skel link to Salvation), and sounding like him - Am I right to presume that ROBERT is Robert Thomas on this?

Is Pete Smith out there when you want him, seem to recall he collected Soft as well as Red Coach!

Anyway, great playable tune, I think.

Thanks for any info, Dean.

I don't know the 'my salvation' track, but I will tell you that there's more than one Robert Thomas. The two I know are the guy from Chicago, who is also Bobby Thomas, who recorded for Hawk and Big City and who was a member of Channel 3 and the Notations. There is also an atlanta Robert Thomas, who recorded records on lyndell among others. I don't know if there might be another from the texas area, which is where Soft is from. Thanks.

Thanks for that boba, sorry - I meant SALVATION - ROBERT THOMAS, (Charay). Don't know why I put my salvation - think I was singing it in my head as I wrote. Dean
