Spot on Brett. It is indeed Sweet James, photographed at the Torquay weekender.

Ok, clues: Detroit, lead singer of a group. The group he is in is related (family wise) to the Detroit Emeralds in some way. I didn't see Terry Callier when he was over, so it's not him.

Nope not Lou Courtney. If you want a photo of him I'll have to scan one in.

But talking of Marv Johnson and Yarmouth, here's one of him. How do I make them smaller, I assume Kolla or mike reduced the one of.......?

Not Yarmouth either :-)

Nope, not Sam Dees. This is a picture I took of Sam Dees at the Thorne tavern (?)

Okey dokey........No clues to start with. Might be a bit harder this one because it's not a publicity shot, it's a photo I took. There again, if you think though all the live acts I might have seen over the last ten years you might get it through a process of elimination.

The Sherries

Mrs Wrangler

Well done Janine. Your turn. I'll have a guess now....Joanie Summers :-)

The clue is in the geography

I'll have to find another now. Here we go

Shit forgot to chop the name off !

Back to me then. No clues to start with because it's a nice easy one.

The label could be Constellation, so I'd guess at Holly Maxwell.

Well done. Perfectly correct. The clues: No 1 - Earth Wind & Fire. No. 2 - Jeanette, and if nobody had got it, No 3 was going to be: Somewhere Else - That Other Place. Your turn

As if you couldn't guess, but that was me. Auto log in seems to have stopped working this weekend.

Clue No 1: Associated with the elements.

Ok then, who's this.....you've got to get it in under 24 minutes

Er, yes it was me that forgot to log in. You lasted 24 minutes :-) I'll have a look round for a suitably obscure photo to post up

Jodie, Most of them will be the same age as your Dad !!!!

At least three of those tracks were previously unreleased until put out by Kent. Add in the unreleased Motown, and it's probably a boot CD

There is a site somewhere that has nothing but posters for Sixties Soul shows. I'll have a look

You're perfectly correct Mick, they aren't the same as the Chicago, or Detroit groups with the same name, they're from Philly. There is nothing to suggest they are white though, other than your sense of humour in trying to wind me up ! There are actually several other groups called 'The Magnetics'. Here's a discography for all the groups and recordings that I'm aware of. If anyone can add anything feel free: The Magnetics Rather a mish mash of a discography this one. There are at least five different groups using the name The Magnetics, so all are listed below. The Magnetics (From Philadelphia) Ra-Sel R7-104 - I Have A Girl / Love And Devotion - 1967 The Philadelphia Magnetics have as far as I know only the one release, although other releases on the Ra Sel label exist. John Anderson at Soul Bowl is rumoured to have several unreleased acetates by the group. The Magnetics (From Detroit) Bonnie 107374 - Lady In Green / Heart You're Made Of Stone - 196? The Detroit Magnetics are possibly the same group that recorded on Allrite (Because of the Detroit association of the label). However, according to Dennis Coffey (Who played on both group's sessions) are NOT The Volumes recording under a different name as was once thought. The Magnetics (No idea where from although I would suspect Detroit, so it might even be the same group) Allrite 620 - Where Are You / The Train - 1962 The Magnetics (From Detroit) Hitsville Acetate - Father Time Histville Acetate - Please Don't Go Away The second Detroit Magnetics are definitely a white sounding girl group, which according to Andy Rix, are not particularly good, which would account for the tracks never gaining an actual release. The Magnetics (From Chicago) Sable 102 - When I'm With My Baby / Count The Days - 196? J-V 2501 - Oh Love / Wasting Time - 1969 The Chicago Magnetics releases have Lee McKinney as the lead singer, so are all the same group. Lee McKinney & The Magnetics (Same group from Chicago) Sable 104 - I'll Keep Holding On / ? - 196? The Magnetics (No idea where from, but definitely a different group) Sound Trap 30391 - Let Me Comfort You / Good By My Love - ? The group on Sound Trap are a complete mystery to me. Help anyone ?

Thought it was post Wigan ? Although I do concede it was early Eighties so might fall outside the 20 year bit. Mind you Mello Souls has got to be getting on for 15 years now. Ok then I'll have another go........... How about....The Four Vandals..... I'll get my coat
