Ace people were lucky enough to go out with her for a meal last night and she's a lovely and entertaining person as well as being a bit flirty; she had one of our directors in the palm of her hand (metaphorically speaking!). She regaled us with stories of touring with the Beatles and being the first LA artist to record in Detroit for Motown. The live show on Wednesday was excellent, I was particularly impressed with Mable John who I wasn't particularly looking out for, she's 79 and commanded the stage like a blues veteran. She did mainly Stax material sensibly as her Motown stuff was very early.
Check out her previously unreleased Miles grayson produced side on Kent CD Masterpieces Of Modern Soul Vol 2, and the sleeve note about her black rights activism and appearing at the White House in recent years.
Probably not Sean, there are a few that got as far as label copy but there's no evidence that they ever came out.
Thanks, we'll save it for the ballad CD
I'm not sure on this, I just saw it in our label copy listing. There are a few in there that may not have come out. Hopefully Sean will check his TP for the flip.
That's nice and thanks very much it's not the same as this master tape of Linda Lyndell that I'm listening to, different song.
Cheers and have a good one on Saturday with Eddie, Tom and the boys
Guess what, Tony's copy of this is a Jamaican issue which is a lower quality dub, Russ is in an ocean somewhere shipping water and we need a mintish copy for a dub as the master for this one never emerged. Can any of you help out please? You will be rewarded.
Thanks chaps, particularly the Cobblers Posse but they're all that little bit too Jazz Funk for this comp, perhaps we can do a follow up in that vein.
It looks like the Bob & Harold, Joe Mathews and Eddie Hill might be unissued then despite having a label number.
That's very sad, he was a top quality singer. Sweetest Thing was the first "soppy" record I really liked, then came the Delfonics and Ronnie Dyson and gurls!
Very hard to say, from memory it looks a bit like the Ann Bridgeforth one of What Should I Do that Searling used to play. Where did you get it from would be a clue. Is it the same as the 45?
