HeyPeteYou really need to get out on the scene more to find out what really going on. Dave

Really ? I'm sick to death of hearing the damm thing at least a few DJ's i.e Ted Massey have flipped it over and have been spinng (You Better) Check Yourself. Dave

Nice video but nowhere near as entertaining as Val Shivley's effort

Very sorry to hear this. Sue & Jon were a massive influence in my early soul years for this i will always be grateful. rest in peace lovely Sue. Jon you are in my thoughts All my love Louise xxx

No mistakes Robb Just not the full facts what Dave has posted up is a brief resum'e of Richard Brooks career taken from our website to promote the 45.we are in the process of finishing off a more indepth article of his career which we intended to post next week, but Dave T jumped the gun. But just to wet your appetite, the tiny New York release by the Impressions which you have quoted is "I Need Your Love/Don't Leave" on the Swirl label release number 107. Which featured Sam Gooden, Fred Cash and Richard and Arthur Brooks as Mayfield had gone off to play guitar for Jerry Butler. Sorry we haven't been able to give it to you chapter and verse sooner but some of us do have a life which doesn't include reading websites all day. Dave Welding

As quoted by John Anderson today: He remembers buying a soul radio Dj's collection from Baltimore in the 70's which included a copy of the Andantes.The majority of the collection were demo copies, but the Andantes was a issue with a drill hole through the label, a usual practice when records went to the cut outs and usually done while theiy were still in their boxes (hence why sometimes the drill hole goes through the run out groove). Whether this was a single 25 count box or one of several who knows ?This particular copy went to Levine for the princely sum some of 15 quid. Dave

Yes Andy Sterling promotional work from both Steve and Frazer and both their shows are essential listening add this to the solar and starpoint guys along with many others and A.T is getting some well deserved exposure. Oh! and a big thanks to you as I woke up this morning to find 3 A.T. orders via the website from soul source members (don't get any ideas about commission though ) Dave

Hey Rod Were the writers credits 'Mallard, Moorhen and Gosling' by any chance? Dave

I wonder how many people are buying record shop day releases as a investment as opposed to buying them because they really like them. A bit like cup final tickets the real supporters seem to miss out ? Your thoughts? Dave

Hey MalaykaI assume the Mark IV will be getting an airing then ?

Gwen & Ray "Build Your House On A Strong Foundation" Bee Bee ? Dave

Wow! RodAfter reading this I seem to have developed a migraine ! Dave

In the words of that old sauve pervert Leslie Philips Ding Dong!It's a little known fact that their is a 150 current practicing troops of Morris Dancers in the United States Of America alone I bet the Red Indians are well impressed. With that little pearl of Knowledge I'll leave you all to it. Dave

In the 1980's I Dj'ed at a soul night at pub called the Fountain on a Tuesday night. This was also the night the local Morris Dancers held their practice meetings on the carpark. I was eventually asked to turn the music down as it was put them off their steps. LOL Dave
