I wonder were they would have licensed that from with both Ulysses Gains and Willie Tee dead. Wasn't H.B. Barnum and David Axelrod behind the production of the "I'm Only A Man2 album on Capitol ? Dave

Begs the question why, as it's not as if it's actually currently indemand ? Mind you the amount of stuff that been bootlegged or re-bootlegged recently I suppose even these unscrupulous bastards are struggling what to do next. Dave

Just out of interest has any more information surfaced on the validity of this 45 release ? Dave

Hi Derek It wasn't a British Armed Forces Station that John and Mick hit, it was a Rediffusion TV Station Dave

Likewise John What a pile of pants, the inept BBC researchers ride again they should have called ye old Garry Cape up and bought a set of Grapevine's America's Most Wanted albums if they needed some background on Malaco. Mind you, perhaps their expense accounts didn't run to it ! Dave

Hi Ian Sorry to hear that I hope you get fixed up real soon. ATB Dave

So Ian, how does the sales at your own company stack up against the comments made in the article you've posted? Dave

It's been a firm favourite of the Solar and starpoint radio Jocks for a while now. The guys got a great voice, as you say a hellva difference from his days dressed as a cop mincing around singing Y.M.C.A ! Dave

That a boy, "sock it to'em" Mick Dave

Great write-up Chalky which seems to have encouraged quite a few Soul Source members to hit the 'Buy Direct' button on the Soul Junction website overnight, with people not only buying the Elbowed -Out cd but also copies of their previously released 45's. A fantastic response to a album which is receiving a lot of positive plaudits, such as a recent review by former Blues & Soul scribe Bill Buckley who likened the sound of Elbowed-Out to a no lesser outfit than the 'Tower Of Power'. he quotes The sound of Elbowed-Out as being "Eminently danceable, soulful, melodic and gritty with a irresistable hint of funk. The album has already been heavily featured in the playlists of Soul Source members and regular radio presenters, Cater, Gaurnori, Halsall, Hipkiss, Marshall, Merry, O'Donnell, Pragnell and Thorley's shows etc (Guy's who know a thing or too about good music, checkout their shows in the Soul Media, Radio section.) Dave P.S Anyone who is still deliberating over whether to buy a copy of Dee Dee Warwick's "You Tore My Wall Down (SJ533) then please don't delay as were close to selling out.

Looks as if a few people missed the Norma Jenkins & The Dolls "The Airplane Song" Maltese on Ted Ross's recent e-bay auction then. Dave

Great Guy, he'll be missed Dave & Louise

Just a thought but are today's dancers as good as their forebearers ? Back in the day good dancers would be able to adjust their footwork to the tempo of the music being played and just got on with it. But in today's media driven, uniformed what's expected northern dance school instructing anathema of a scene if they can't do the expected two steps to the left, two steps to right to every record, they wonder off outside for a smoke or a E-ciggie usually moaning (wearing a wooly hat being optional) ! And don't get me started on the couples dancing together to the slower stuff How long before we a Strictly Come Northern Dancing Special, I wonder which media craving parasites will feature on the Judges panel ?

Well done that Man For playing Dee Dee Warwick "You Tore My Wall Down" ! Dave

I thought you might, where's as Mick when I mentioned it to him this morning couldn't remember at all. We'll at least it reasuring to know that I'm not the one going senile ! Dave

I have a vague recollection of Mick Smith getting a unissued Gentlemen Four acetate off Soul Bowl circa late 80's it was about the same time that he got Martha Starr on Charay. Where it resides now who knows ? Dave

Sure is Chalky, it sounded great through a system when you played it (twice) at Lifeline the other week ! Mind you we've been getting a lot of traffic through the SJ website from the principality of Yorkshire, is this anything to do with you ? All we need now is that Red Rose lot the other side of te Pennines to losen up their purse strings too LOL ! Dave
