It's not in either price guide, must be tricky. Ta Ady

Anyone ever heard of him or know any credits to him apart from the Rolyak/Rolyat 45 of O C Tolbert?

What are the other tracks Matt?

Great stuff Dave, what's the story; line-up, history etc. Does the Detroit Historical Soul Society or whatever it's called promote all Detroit music or mainly their own things? Cheers Ady

Thanks Richard, amazingly late release for an early 60s sound. Ady

Great, thanks Richard, I missed out on this. A scan of Moonville or Ultra City would be good. Cheers Ady

Thanks Richard, I'm off to bed now but will check the flip out tomorrow. It sounds like the same group I'm investigating. What an early side for 1970 or thereabouts. Any chance of a scan too please? Ta Ady

Not many things remain constant in this life Dave. Ady

Like Sebastian says its not a boot but a later press

Gerri Hall on Sue, given a release number but probably didn't get to production. Walter Wilson on Wand didn't exist until i found one in Billy Jackson's gaff!

He's changed his tune in recent decades, he has to kiss a lot more Brit ass these days since the doo wops dried up. I actually preferred him when he was grumpy and considered all soul fans tossers. Despite that we got on well until one day he accused me of nicking records after I'd been going there for ten years and thought we had a decent relationship. He had a hissy fit and I was very close to cracking him one, I had Jimmy Andrews 'Big City Playboy' in my pile for $3 though so decided against it. I didn't bother going back though. Ady

Label designs and images are usually only owned by the label owner but I think it's only used as a weapon against people who are directly profiting from that image. The most obvious one is T shirt sellers using a label logo they have no rights to eg Stax, Motown, Mirwood etc. To do it legit the T shirt manufacturer would have to get permission and probably pay a fee or royalty Ady

Yes it's good but just a bit too slow in parts to get the dancefloor going. A very rockish voice too. Very interesting, i didn't know about it. Cheers Ady

Does this sound like a 1965 Impressions track or is it obviously 1971? If anyone could put it in Refosoul that would be good. Ta Ady

Could anyone kindly whack it up in Refosoul? Cheers Ady

Super obscure Detroit release, anyone got a good copy? Ady

Hi Phil, I don't know the Billboards at all and would love to see a scan or at least know the credits from the label please. Cheers Ady

I know Jerry but England are a serious cricket team and can still nearly lose to the Dutch.

One of the worst written songs ever; it's agony listening to the title being sung and wondering whether they can cram all the words in in time. In fact it reminds me of my favourite limerick There was a young man from Japan Whose limericks would never scan When told this was so He said "Yes I know" but the trouble is I always try and cram as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can

You've gotta get it for the original to Tom & Jerrio's 'Boogaloo' alone. Brilliant rhythm and 3 years ahead of the game.

Sketchy ain't the word, it hardly mentions Ellie being with the group, I got that from Wikipoos and T. Rounce.
