  1. And of course it's not just the fonts of knowledge. I'm always appealing for stuff and getting replies from all sorts of collectors with very different types of collections. Sometimes it's the oddest little thing that you need and the big time brains ain't got it but a crofter in the Outer Hebrides has it stashed under his hassocks or can remember an article concerning the subject from a tiny fanzine in 1974.
  2. Tony knows a ridiculous amount of stuff, having him 5 yards across the room from me at work saves me hours on the reference books. Boba's a great source of info and Robb K off Soul Talk is a seriously knowledgeable chap too, it'd be nice to get him on here too. Same goes for Mr Dyson he's brilliant on the super obscure stuff it's a shame he's so busy. Weingarden knows a fair bit and of course Dave Moore from the great Hitsville org. I concur with all the rest and I'll think of more soon. Whitfield knows a lot about women of the world.
  3. As it 'appens, Peter Gibbon who sits next to me at work has got one so panic over. Maybe I should have asked him first! Thanks
  4. He was quite a character and big friends with Herbert Hunter and of course Bob Holmes who died a few years back. He was more the R&B end while Bob was the soul side. Ace put out a lot of his R&B too.
  5. That's the one, i need to hear it to see if it's the same recording. Cheers Hippo. Ady
  6. Longy,s sorted me for the Ebb 45 anybody know anything about the Duo Disc at all? Ady
  7. Pic and Bill's in the pipeline and Arnie's running for President.
  8. Where are those label collecting boffs when you need them?
  9. And I'm working on the Darrow.
  10. Or does anyone know if it came out on Duo Disc?
  11. I think I'm OK for the Mira now. Ady
  12. Could anyone either lend me it or send me a CD reference and a scan please. Ace CDs in return as a thank you. Ta Ady
  13. With Butch, Mick Smith, Keith Money Mick H and moi.
  14. Could be, Ty remarried.
  15. No problem Dave, the Towana on S H is Ty's daughter but that is not her as T & The Total D as she would have been about 10 then, it's her Mum using her name as a tribute. I must admit that we haven't included Catch Action as it would have stuck out like a sore thumb as it is very different to the rest of the stuff. We were going to include everything but found the great new unissueds at the end and dropped Catch Action to get them in. Sorry if you really wanted that on CD but something had to go. Cheers Ady
  16. Dead right, but This Couldn't Be Me and No More Tears was originally recorded as by the Tonettes and then issued as by the Sweethearts, same recordings.
  17. The Tonettes on Modern became the Sweethearts on Modern and Kent. I haven't heard them as the Tonettes so perhaps you could put up a scan and something in Refosoul when it turns up. Was Gloria Scott LA too, if so they're probably the same. Cheers Ady
  18. There seems to be a thousand variations and I'm trying to work them all out but please tell me of any more either on here or pm, I'm bound to miss a few. Ta Ady
  19. Any chance of a loan for our research purposes please. PM me if you can help. Thanks Ady
  20. I'm not certain it exists but I have a listing. Anyone got it?
  21. Woah, it's gonna be a hell of a night! www.6ts.info for details
  22. A new un, an old un and some permanent features
  23. GWP label period after Kapp, the Kapp LP was of course a GWP production too. Larry Banks did recycle several of his songs and a lot of the alts are actually better than the Hesitations on that LP, possibly because they were going a bit Las Vegas
  24. He was the only UK act who really got into black music as opposed to copying it. Original mods reckon he was the only one they would go to watch and the same goes for a lot of young West Indians at the time, and that includes Geno, Jimmy James etc
  25. The tall one's Colin Curtis and the babe's not Mary Chapman
