Anyone have info on where these came from ? Seen loads of great UK demo's like this - all with same writing for date and library file no. Possibly another forces radio station - Cyprus ? All have been mint probably unplayed when first hit our shores. If the no. 16003 is to go by, they must have had thousands. (saw a SS Heatwave once in the 2xxx range). Cheers................ Tom.

Someone has posted up both trax on YouTube now.......................

Having arrived home Sunday morning with my 100 Club 40th Anniversary 45, I was eager to listen to its B side. [The A side, Carolyn Crawford, having already been played by Ady on the night.] Well, what can I say, I was totally gob-smacked by how awesome it was. Never having heard this before (not sure if anyone had already?) I couldn't stop playing it. Mickey is better known for his writing, arranging and A&R work, than his voice isn't he ? Ady quotes 1968 and the interweb states him and Kim left Motown in 1967 for MGM. So would this and Carolyn have been released on the MGM label then ? I very much hope Ady has some more stuff like this to play / release over the coming months. Cheers.................... Tom. (Banbury)

another update. still looking for the ones listed thanks.

A voice you recognise instantly and never forget. Just listen to the two gems below and two of my faves........................... Cheers.................. Tom.

I love it and will always get on the dance floor to it. Pestered the Willinghams quite a few times @ Prestatyn top-room rare soul and Blackpool Soul Fest Niter. We had Greety @ our little Banbury Soul Club do's a few years ago and I couldn't wait to ask him to play it - no empty dance floor here. Really pleased Ted has told me he has one also - I can pester him now to play it ! (although he may have moved it on with no dance floor action ? LOL) Cheers................... Tom.

Too many "do's" on every Fri & Sat night - scene is swamped with Events. More DJ's or budding DJ's than paying punters. Depending on your music tastes - four peeps can get in a taxi to a local do and drink all night. If you need bespoke music then you will prob be prepared to travel to "where it's at". I'm not adding anything new here - this is what I have read here on SS for the past decade really. And seen it with my own eyes. Maybe needs a clear out of multiple events and back to a handful of them at the weekend ? Cheers..................... Tom.
