Great story Robb and great theory but it's hidden away in a low interest topic; you should start a new one in All About The Soul

I know, I think he'll always spring to our minds on here.

Thanks lads yes I got sorted a coupla hours ago; I think I've confused Robb with my fake Yarkshire talk. Any road up is just a friendly way of saying anyway Robb

PS I'm sorted on this one too now. Thanks for reading

Thanks Robb, a UK collector and DJ is kindly lending me a copy. I had heard that story before but only emanating from you. I'll send you the track listing in advance to prompt your memory. Cheers Ady

Good point, I'd better get on the fish oils too. And you either didn't rise to my bizarre northern colloquialisms or wisely treated them with disdain.

Ronnie, but you're close. Yep I'll need it a bit sharper Robb; thanks any road up.

I think I've got a boot then so could use the loan of a nice issue please anybody. Thanks Pete

Was it booted, my copy is a demo but looks a bit odd and is very bassy on the Heartaches side.

Anyone got an Ex they could loan us please. CDs and kudos to follow. Ady

Not had a chance to donate until now, maybe any further money could go to one of the charities that has been discussed?

I look at dates of similar clubs like Rugby and Lifeline and try and avoid, sometimes a clash can't be avoided but its usually ok. It is worse for me if there's a good local evening do on

A great idea if not too arduous and maybe we could find a few entertaining emails he sent us to add to the colour.

I'm utterly stunned, he has helped Kent out on so many projects recently, particularly the Dore ones, He was about to send me a dub for another project; I hope all the favours I and others asked him for didn't contribute to his death in any way; I think he found it hard to say no to people and may have taken on too much at times. I never met him and I'm not sure we even spoke on the phone but we had an ongoing soul knowledge conversation, him helping with the Kent CDs and I contributed to the Soul Vocal Groups book he was working on where I could. The world of soul has lost a major figure, I can't think of anyone with greater depth of knowledge and willingness to spread it and learn too. He did not just study the subject either he told me of driving round the south side of Chicago with Richard Stamz a black personality of the blues era, collecting debts or something similarly bizarre. Rest In Peace Bob.

Great collector's tune from the 80s in particular that could have got serious spins at any stage but never really did. It seemed to peak in demand about 5 years ago so maybe somebody played it then. I just put it on Soul Spin because it was a good sound on Musicor which I liked. Not an oldie as only collectors really know it.

Can you send me a dub of both sides please Bob? Ta Ady

Anyone know where I can hear either side? Ady

Sorry to hear it. Did you get to interview him Bob?

[quote name="dthedrug" post="2093897" g: That's what I think, records are for the pleasure of listening to, I'm not a "stamp collector" are you?? DAVE K

We have similar exciting Sam Dees plans afoot

Yep boot that I believe emanated from Northern America possibly connected to an ex-pat with a dodgy syrup.

The second CD is a selection of tracks the team admire and wanted to put next to the more obvious ones featured in the film

I already know the one for the 100 Club: Hot and Humid!

I said Howard but it was Bobby Nicholson an original member of the Creators (not related to the early 60s Dore group weirdly) who had Little Johnny Hamilton and Milton James as lead singers. You never saw the listed Milton James on Chatahoochie did you? He had never heard of it.

Freeman King also recorded with Arthur Wright for Kent/Modern in the late 60s.
