  1. Great, thanks Dazz. Hard luck Gareth, apparently he was Willie Parker.
  2. Can anyone lend me a copy of The Happiest Girl In The World by them on Warner bros? And has anyone seen demos of GWP or GWP's Grapevine except for Frankie Newsome? And did that come out on Sagport? And wasn't he someone else before he was FN?
  3. Levine's not Algerian, I think he's a Lancastrian. You're mixing him up with Simon Soussan who was Lebanese! (insert your own imaginary smilies)
  4. That's a cracker, I've soaked my socks.
  5. It came from an unmarked tape that Andy was leant by Johnnie Mae and/or her son. We really used Audrey as a guess name as we didn't know. If Audrey is too young, I think Sgharon may be a good bet as she wrote it so it could be her original version. Ady PS You left Chris King out of your dream scenario!
  6. I made contact with Audrey Matthews earlier this year, regarding the unissued version of "I have no choice" that Adey played, credited to Audrey. It transpired that it wasn't her, as she was only about 10yrs old when the track was recorded, as she is only 48 now! It turns out it was probably by Sharon McMahon, who wrote the song, and may have recorded the track on tape as a promo for the song. We know, of course, that the song was picked up by Johnnie Mae. However, Saron McMahon's is THE version IMHO, absolutely sublime, it knocks spots of Johnnie Mae's effort. Black Nastys version is a very poor 3rd link

    empire state soul

    It's Warren Lee and Connie "The Empress Of Soul" Grunwald who ran the Empire State Soul Club. Warren's in town this week and coming to Crossfire tonight. Connie's in Atlanta being born again. Just as well really she had a lot of sinning to make up for. Ady
  8. And big thanks to Dave Welding who organised getting the tapes restored from the unusable by Ace's Sound Mastering studios. Dave quite rightly has a cut too.
  9. Is there a site that's knowledgeable about the records, this seems mainly social and a radio show. I'm a fax 'n' info man (and the loose skin on girls' elbows when their arms are straight).
  10. Kent's putting Bill Bush out, licensed from the proper people of course, on Northern Soul's Classiest rareties Vol 2. I don't get how so many people seem to be against it, it seems like a very good soul dance record to me! But then again, I'm not a fan of 'Pyramid'.
  11. I need a loan, or a good scan or at least the label credits, writers, publisher produced by etc, PlEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeZ

  13. Possibly it's poetic licence, Mr Sadot is in the entertainment industry after all. There was a time in the late 70s when a load of legal blues that you couldn't get busted for were about. They were iffy but I can't remember them taking seven people out. The trouble was they were horse pills and had bizarre side effects, Chris Harrop and I nearly cut short the Alarm's future career by giving them some down the Roxy when they were a punk group called the Toilets (prior to being mod group Seventeen). They were rough but certainly made you lively; lead singer Migsy won the 3.30 at Wincanton the next day.
  14. End of May, soz the singles have gone and are fetching £100+ now!
  15. It's the opening track on "Northern Soul's Classiest Rareties Vol 2", followed by Ty Karim 'You Just Don't Know' from master tape and then 22 more about which you'll have to wait and see. The Waves female version ('Is It Love Baby') won't be out for quite a while yet though!
  16. I used to be Marty Christian from the New Seekers, then I was Billy Beaumont!
  17. A loan of Don & Ron on White Cliffs A sound bite of Athens Rogues to compare the tape. Usual rates and gratitude forever. Cheers Ady
  18. We will probably hear avocal version of this sometime in the future made up by someone and said its along lost tape eg just like the magicians! link
  19. Has anyone heard from David Nathan? W He's fine, and visiting London this week, I'm meeting up with him on Thursday. I'll pass on your regards. Ady
