Exactly, that's why I only rate around the £30 mark! It alway used to be about 10 to 15 quid but you get a repro for a couple £ - I doubt it sold at a ton, but you never know these days

Think it was Sean Chapman that had one at Luton for £60.

I remember Mr Bicknell coming back from the States with a 100 box of them circa '93ish I think the same trip he turned up 25 Dean Courtneys on RCA black issues, 4 Trade Martins on Stallion, multiple Betty Moorers on Wand - decent trip!!! Remember Big Daddy?????

An article Mike Markesich wrote and was posted on RSF sometime ago. Sure I've seen a photo of them too

"Detroit Soul on Music Town" from Mike Markesich

Well, first off, the Detroit Soul were from New Britain, Connecticut. And

they were all high school kids! The group used some members of their high

school marching band on the recording of "All Of My Life". That single was

released around September 1967 and was a Top Ten record on the Hartford, CT

radio scene. Here in the New Haven, CT area (which is right on the CT

shoreline, it made it up to #31 on the weekly Top 60 radio chart. One of the

members died in Vietnam...I don't think it was the lead singer, Sal Lenares-

-he was in an earlier group called the Soobes, who might have recorded a

track on the CT various artist Soul sound LP's on the Fling-O label. I have

never seen the LP, so I can't say for certain.

Anyway, getting back to the group, I used to work with a guy who went to

school with the members of Detroit Soul, and he said they could pull off

soul as well as chart hits of the day. Their second single, "Does Your Mind

Go Wild" came out around May 1968, and was nowhere near as popular as

"AOML". Sal was out of the group by that time, I think Bill Durso, lead

guitarist is giving his all on lead vocal. I like this disc too, wish they

could've employed a black female chorus to coo the title instead of some

local white girls.
