Hi Mel,
It as a tape of three or four finished unreleased masters that we bought from GWP a few years ago. They had recorded various Larry banks songs including versions of kenny carter's 'Showdown' and a great dancer called 'We Can Do It' that i sometimes play out. There is also a good dance version of 'Without Your Love' by Bobby Penn lined up for Vol 2 and I think another by the Cavaliers for RCA Vol 3. I know nothng about the group at all but am working hard to find out more.
Cheers
Ady
I only had two copies and neither version has been on a Kent CD as we havn't got the rights yet so the poor sound quality version must be on some other label that puts out lo fi sounds! I love Juan's version, not heard Debbie's.
There was a brilliant nighter in Brum about 1972 in the back of an all night prostitute's cafe called the Saints and Sinners, out of 80 people there 95% came from Northants and Harboro.
The ballad 'Friends And Lovers' is being sampled by some big acts in the States.
There are two tracks on the new Kent Soul Of Spring Vol 2 out in January and we're releasing the LP and non single tracks on Southbound at the same time.
Do you mean It Takes Both Of Us? Funnily enough Billboard lists it your way but the LP and tapes have it my way. Give it a spin and see what the chorus is please.
This was buried away a bit in a thread about the 100 Club in events which people won't read if they're not going.
What do people think about European DJs playing in the UK. Who are their favourites and who can they recommend from their trips abroad?
There's a current news article about it on here if you want to read my reasoning for running a 100 Club Euro-Special this Sat.
Wrong time of month Neil?
Well done Mike for giving your support, it's a sentiment I'm sure most would agree with on here. I think Stuart's a Perry Mason type figure if anything ever got to court.
Yeah, both white New Joisy guys if I remember correctly. They can sing OK but their songs and productions on Debbie Taylor, The Persians etc are the most interesting to me and they are on the "GWP, NYC, TCB" Kent CD.
One of Ace's new Millie Jackson albums plus CDs has an instrumental version on it so you can sing it yourselves as tough or as camp as you like. Tony Rounce compiled it and will fill you in with the details later I should think.
Ray Dahrouge and Billy Terrell are both still around. One of them just did a CD with Lenny Welch. I interviewed them for the GWP CD and they were informative and pleased their music lives on.
I keep hearing the original hit version by High Energy, but Millie's LP version is well wicked as we say in the Hrboro 'Hood. Does anyone spin it and are there other good versions?
I'm pretty certain it's Just a demo master tape, but buy Vol 3 and you'll get him doing another very similar. I'm glad you like it, I do too but wasn't sure if others would.
