Dave Moore

Hi All, Cap in hand time again! Could anyone provide me with good scans (300dpi) of the following: Bobby Hebb - Sonny - Philips W/DEMO Festivals - Music - Smash W/DEMO Help appreciated as always.

Thank You Sir! I agree wholeheartedly.

Here's a link to the Carnival feature we did a few years ago... CARNIVAL FEATURE

It was on the Standing Ovation LP which was released in December 1971. Was on the B Side to the TMG864, (released in 73), side, - Take Me In Your Arm And Love Me which was recorded in Jan '67 and and released in the same year a few months later in the US. It would seem strange not to have released the same B Side in '73 in UK which was Do You Love Me Just A Little Bit Honey. (Which is a '66 recording). Obviously the the song was recorded well before 73. Maybe even in the 67/68 sessions that the group did. Having said that the group were certainly releasing records on the Soul label well into the '70s. I think '74 at least although whether they were new recordings or stuff already in the can I'm not sure as the group left Motown in '73. Would be good if someone had a definitive recording date for the track.

Don't forget to check out the Casino Lounges. Lou Ragland, Sonny Charles, Linda Griner, Bobby Patterson, Dean Courtney etc are all around town but will not be on the "main stages". A couple of visits ago we left as Brenda Holloway was appearing the night after. Gutted! John Smith organised a trip out there a number of years ago that featured a weekender but since then there's not been anything "Northern Soul' wise. As fra record shops, there are a couple but the only one of any note is Wax Tracks (Richie Rosen) but you'll need to take your own surgical instruments to remove the body parts to pay for anything! Gutted to have missed Mr Trass! We could have done the duet Dave! Here's the man himself...

Surely no more than around the 30 quid mark? Or am I way to cheap!

Yep, Would have thought there would be others too but haven't managed to locate anyone who has seen another. Anyone out there?

Hi Al, Could it be something to do with the flip, as "Go Ahead and Laugh" was released a short 4 #s later again. Is the "A Little More Love" the plug side or is IT the flip of "Go Ahead And Laugh"? (I can't confirm either way as I don't have one ) Maybe it was the plug side of Go Ahead And Laugh but was withdrawn in favour of "I'm Still Loving You". Alternatively, if "Go Ahead And Laugh" was the plug side why pull it and then re-release it 4 #s later? Here's the strange Recording/Matrix details: A Little More Love - Recording Date : 10 Dec 64 - Released 6 Nov 64 (in UK too) (How if the recording date was December?) Go Ahead And Laugh - Recording Date: 10 May 64 - Released 29 Jan 65 (Released in UK Stateside in Nov 64 though as flip to A Little More Love SS359) I'm Still Loving You - Recording Date: 9 Dec 64 - Released 29 Jan 65 There are two different mixes of Go Ahead And Laugh too just to complicate matters further. Once again I haven't heard the 54106 version so can't advise on the difference nor can I relate the matrix info to confirm that the mixes are actually different on the 45s. Looks like the songs were all recorded in a 24 hour period, two were selected for release. There must have been a change of heart and the first 45 - T54106 A Little More Love b/w Go Ahead And Laugh maybe got 'pulled" a remix of the "Go Ahead And Laugh" side was then released on T54010 as I'm Still Loving You b/w Go Ahead And Laugh. Bit of a strange one eh? But then this is Motown Baby........comes with the territory eh?

Many Thanks Ian, I can confirm that Tim now owns it.

You've lost me completely. I have replied to your PM, but I have to say I haven't a clue what on Earth you're on about. Waaaaayyyyy off topic now.

Err... I don't really have one apart from the fact that I thought you accused me of being foulmouthed whilst using the same word as I used. Or have I missed something?

Amen to that! Round here we call 'em "The Soul Martyrs"

Hey Man.....stop smoking that stuff Baby!.....it ain't doin' yer any good.

I reckon 99% of soulies have the same idea Paul. It's the 1% of soul 'analysists' that are struggling with the idea that we don't need their guidance or to be saved from ourselves. Let's get on with it FFS whilst we still can.

Hi Ana, A couple of British people were at Valencia in April who lived in Gibraltar. They had travelled up to Valencia for the Allnighter as they couldn't find anything there. Not much help I know...

Check out yer signature block Madam. People in glass houses.......

Thanks Guys, I'll try and confirm it's whereabaouts. Meanwhile anyone know where it is the threads?

A scan of the stocker of this 45 was posted a while back but I can't see it now. Anyone have a pic? Anyone know who owns it now?

YES, it most certainly is...undoubtably. OOPS! sorry I thought it said UP it's own arse!

Would have thought Jackie Wilson would also qualify although the term "Modern" may preclude him in some eyes. Pretty sure you'd get away with some of his later stuff though. EG: Club - Sweetest Feeling RnB - Haunted House, Lonely Teardrops etc Northern - Pick any 1 from 20! Crossover - You Got Me Walking, 70s - Because Of You, What a Lovely Way, Beautiful Day etc

Great link Ady. Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it.

"A record a day keeps the blues away". DEFINITELY. Crappy day at work - get home to a cheapie, brightens yer evening up. Football team got a hammering on Saturday afternoon - Get a filler that night dirt cheap, dullens the disappointment. Skint, but make the effort to get somewhere - find a W/Demo of a cheapie that you've never seen for peanuts - Hey Hey result!! Flush, got a few $$$ in the vinyl fund exactly same time as #7 of the wants list appears - No hesitation, slap down the wonga and drive 100 miles to pick it up. Get home, put headshell with new cart/stylus on tonearm, crack chilled beer open, place needle on vinyl, kick back and smile (Extremely SMUGLY) to oneself......BLISS! A record a day.......oh yes indeedy!

Certainly played here in Spain. I played it at the Indalo Soul Club gig in Mojacar and it gets played at the regular soul parties we have here. Great double sider but the SAHWMB does it every time for me.
