Im still giving it plenty of welly whenever i get the chance to spin out. If someone asks you what Soul music is, you play them Gloria Shannon. AWSOME stuff....... Which begs the question,"any more like this knocking around" ?.... Best, Ivor Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
francis t Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 I am getting some good feedback on this limited release including from abroad.Glenn and myself have great fun with the label and it is good when we get a positive feedback on our efforts.Sometimes we find our releases are not hip enough for the modern room deejays and too modern for the oldies fans. We know that both perceptions are off the mark and this is proved by the collectors who are following the labels output and buying every release. We hope this promo cd will give deejays and collectors a chance to find out a bit more about RealSide. cheers francis T RealSide terry@mrteerecords.co.uk Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Geoff Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 The one on the CD that I particularly like (apart from Gloria Shannon) is Rhonda McDaniels' Falling, reckon that will go down well in the Modern rooms. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

francis t Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Here is a bit more info about the tracks. 1 silly love games-the first RealSide 45 and one that sold out on 45 a long time ago.A modern style dancer. 2Favour(do this world a favour) -Recorded especially for RealSide brilliant singer Jacqui Williams gives the Beris Hammond track a new feel.A proven dance floor hit and a chart entry in the US Beach Charts. 3. Hold on to the blues-Lonne Givens. A number one on the US Beach Chart after being discovered by RealSide on an obscure US cd and played by Kev Roberts on his syndicated radio show in the Carolinas.We sold out of the 45 a while back, but have just found a box of 15 misfiled, so get in touch as soon as possible.The track stayed in the Beach charts for over 80 weeks establishing Lonne as a major performer in that area.Has since topped the Beach Charts again with a new recording for a US label. 4.Can't leave you alone-Tu Tu Jones.Related we believe to Johnny Jones this a southern soul dancer with the Memphis Horns adding quality backing.Slow seller at the start but has gained in reputation amongst collectors of quality 45s. 5.You got it -Roy Hemmings.Quality modern crossover from the long time Drifters singer.Catch him live if you can. 6.Believe(The whole damned world is growing crazy)-Another revisit from Jacqui with a great dancefloor feel. 7.All the people all the time-one for Leonie (Parker) fans. Not yet released on single. 8.Break out the tears -Angel .From his US cd.You probably all know it by now! 9.Walter Thomas-I wanna get witcha' Walter wrote Hold on to the Blues and this modern style dancer he can write other great songs.Only 150 promo 45s pressed and now hard to find.Will probably become the rarest RealSide 10.Jacqui Williams- Real Love .Sort of dismissed at the time of release on 45 as just a copy of Driza.the critics rapidly changed their minds when they realised the legendary US studio guru TOM MOULTON had worked on the project.Further proof of his and Jacquis talent. 11.Tears are gifts from heaven -Gloria Shannon.Even has 2 You tube videos-very nice( but it would have been nicer if the creative people behind the clips gave our web site www.realsiderecords.co.uk as a link to buy.What a track 12.Falling- Rhonda Mc Daniel. Dina Carroll recorded this a few years back and Rhonda has scored a big hit with this in the Carolinas.This will be our next 45 backed with track 15 which demonstrates on an a lesser known 4 tops track her ability to sing crossover soul. 13.If loving you is all I have to do-Roy Hemmings and Anna Brooks.Roy is joined on this track by his band leader on a smooth update of a track he had previously recorded on one of his now collectable solo cds.A possible future single release for this jazzy flavoured production. 14.So Long-Walter thomas.Another soul side from Walter.One of the three notable productions on his US cd. 15.See track 12 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
francis t Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 tears are from heaven superb Who is gloria shannon and how much to send to japan? Just noticed the question. Gloria Shannon is the name attributed to an unknown singer responsible for I believe one of the classic soul discoveries in recent years. The track was first introduced about 5 years ago via several deejays who we (Realside Records) sold copies to. We finally got clearance from the tape owner to release the track last year and the rest is soul history.We have nearly sold out of the 45s, but have a few left.This limited promo cd is the first "official " cd release. We will ship to Japan.Just send me an e mail to francis@real;siderecords.co.uk or terry@mrteerecords.co.uk and we will sort something out. regards francis t Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I will be taking some copies of the promo cd with me if anyone wants to pre order one cheers francis Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean We are looking forward to packing the dancefloor-oops sorry the armchairs- and I will be bringing along the "as found" tracks for both sides of Gloria Shannon to play if I get chance.The b side of Gloria is very interesting in its earliest form. See you there Sean. John and Rob and myself can't wait. cheers francis Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
