  1. Good. Seems they arrived on time then. Good Luck with the new venture Mark. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  2. A classic Sir! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  3. Shame on them! Absulute f**ckin' disgrace. Have had 3 dealings with the guys that "serve and protect" here. An absolute F**CKIN DISGRACE in all three instances! Macho, bully boys with the public's protection and interest taking a bottom priority whilst sick leave, overtime, benefits, free donuts and the demand to show some "respect" far higher on their list. Heroes...every one of em. Don't get me started on the Boot Camps! Hammy, hope your health is on the mend and no permanent damage. If you get the chance take them to the cleaners! This is how "The Man" treats the weaker members of society: I've seen the video. MURDER. Absolutely! How many times did they get away with it. Or how many Hammys were there on NYE? https://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll...9/APN/612294261 Regards, Dave https://www.theresthatbeat.com https://www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  4. If I remember correctly Lamont Dozier cleared up the Dunbar - Wayne conundrum last year once and for all. Apparently they were the Invictus Office cleaners! Great stuff! Regards, Dave https://www.theresthatbeat.com https://www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  5. Nope. The OJays lost a member in 1972. I suppose that counts as change to the line up. How about The Dells? #1 hit? Regards, Dave https://www.theresthatbeat.com .https://www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  6. OJays? Regards , Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  7. Just a coincidence that it leaves the door open for people to shill bid their own items and attempt to push the price of items up then? Result.... Ebay commission increases, as does the dreaded Paypal charges which they are now "pressurising" buyers and sellers alike to use. The sheen of Ebay gets duller by the day. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  8. It's a great record. The Volumes also did a fantastic version of it too. Shades of Blue were desperately unlucky in the fact that Ed Wingate already had the Relections on his books. All the SOB records are worth listening to imo. Blue Eyed soul at it's best . They KNEW what they were recording , they set out to CREATE soul music that they were immersed in and surrounded by on a daily basis with Golden World, Impact , Edwin Starr, Duke Browner et al. Their success with Edwin's "Oh How Happy" financed a number of further 45s that went on to become classics. Full story in the current issue of There's That Beat! Regards, Dave https://www.theresthatbeat.com
  9. Hi Kev, Do a subscription via the site and I will ensure it includes Issue #1 Mate. Thanks for your support , it's appreciated . Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  10. Glad folks are enjoying it. I now have the reprint run of Issue #1. For anyone still looking for the inaugural Issue it's now available again on the website at: www.theresthatbeat.com More good stuff coming up in the next one. Guys are busy scribbling! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  11. Yep, fair dos all round. Just opinions innit? Hope you're Father in Law gets well Mate. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  12. That's exactly what it is. Wasn't this a made up jobbie? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  13. I think the SP DeSanto case is slightly different Pete. She lost her husband, her home, in fact everything she had, in one fail swoop. You are of course right that the more successful artists could be expected to step in and help but they rarely do eh? We raised $637.22 for SP Desanto and I for one am glad we did it. Not just because she was an "old singer", but because she's simply an old lady who needs help and I felt we could give that help without too much grief to our own lives. I also think that doing something charitable every now and then is good for your health. The Gambian Project and other beneficiaries of soul events give people an opportunity as individuals to enjoy themselves and spread a little cheer in what can be a crappy old world at times eh? Anyone who knows me well will vouch for the fact that I'm not exactly a tree hugging, animal loving, social concience type of bloke, but every now and then it don't hurt to give some one a leg up. Just a case of deciding who I suppose. Just my opinion. Regards , Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  14. Nice! Looks in good nick too! Have PM'd you Pete . Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com
  15. The lady on the pic sleeve is indeed Ms Spotswood. As confirmed by her personally earlier in the year as we were preparing the Van McCoy piece for the magazine. It's also (as stated by Roger) correct that the same picture was used on the LP. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com
  16. They're around but hardly ever come up for sale. Quality like this tends to stay in collectors boxes. I've been after one for 15 years. Still looking. Good hunting. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  17. First one that springs to mind is Mary Saxton? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  18. The 5 I'm best chuffed with for the year... Soundmasters - Lonely Lonely - Julet Eddie Billups - Shake Off That Dream - Seventy 7 W/Demo Dave Love - Colalined Baby - Solid Sound W/Demo (Much harder that most folks realise) Margie Joseph - Medicine Bend - UK Stax And best of the bunch....... Spyder Turner - Stand By Me LP (Lovely yellow promo). Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  19. Bit ambitious the Sonny C price I think. Musette copy probably around the 200 mark. The Teri De copy half that I reckon. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  20. Yeah, thanks for that Baz. I'm sure all the contributors who regularly slave over their keyboards and drag stuff from their record boxes, or track down folks to interview, or try and provide a vehicle for artists who are struggling against the tide of MTV PR, appreciate the professional critique from someone so positive. That's the second time on this forum someone has 'branded" all glossy mags as crap/pants. Just out of interest, do you actually READ any of them? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  21. Main release date is 16th January in the States. I'll be there. I've not seen the previews purposely, but am looking forward to seeing it. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  22. I missed most of last weeks so this is a first for me... Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  23. Wasn't the label owned by Ida Sands, one half of the Soul Duo. Never seen a W/Demo of "Open the door to your heart". Anyone? Tried to get Russ Vickers to do the history of the label etc when he moved to Norfolk Va a couple of years ago.....Russ....get a grip! Regards , Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  24. Hi all, Thought it was time I posted an update. So far as a group of fans we have raised over $500.00. A huge thank you to all who donated. The majority of donations were for $10/$5 so just goes to show it don't cost much to feel good about yourself. Not going to embarrass folks by naming them, but a BIG thank you to you all, you know who you are. We plan on keeping the fund open until the end of the first week on January and I will post details of the final amount, where it's all going etc. For anyone still wishing to donate simnply click on the link... https://www.theresthatbeat.com/sugarpie.html I'll be back in January with all the details for you. Regards, Dave
  25. Love to hear a 1965 version of Smokey and The Miracles doing "Just My Imagination..." Regards , Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
