Was sorting through the record room for stuff to take to California tomorrow and stopped to play a few. As usual quality will out and these still leave me gobsmacked after 30 years...I give you....Mr Walter Jackson at his very best.. WJ_Its_all_over.mp3 WJ_After_you_there_can_be_nothing.mp3

Fantastic record. Great uptempo/upbeat type of song done vocally exactly as it should be. And cheap as chips.....just the way we like 'em. If this was rare it'd never be off folks' turntables. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Kev, I have this also. Never seen a demo of this (or the Riley Hampton 45 on Carla You?). I was under the impression that this was recorded in Detroit. Not sure of point of manufacture though. Don't know anything about The Antoinettes. Anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Looking for a MINT copy of: I Never Loved Her Anyway Bang 525 DEMO hitsville2648@earthlink.net Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Boy is diving down the keys. Probably listening on his laptop using MY club site connection. Leave for LV on Tuesday. Have lots of material prepared and hopefully will "bump" into a few folks. Best, D

Dave, I have all three of the Carla 45s. I'll send 'em "down the pipe" after the match. We just hit the post! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Looking for a bite Simon? You'll have to do better than that Mate. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Great "little" record. Put it on a CD swap about 6/7 years ago, ended up selling all of them I had. Cheap as chips too, just the way we like 'em eh? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Yep, Kate Bush! Just as bad as I remembered it. Please make it stop!! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

If I remember correctly it was around 77/78 when Soussan sent over the colored vinyl bootlegs too. Lydia Marcelle, Shirley Mathews, Checkerboard Squares, etc. I think the Dena Barnes AND the Del Satins were booted by him, but passed off as "authentic different versions" Can anyone confirm that "pb" is also Soussan? I was told trecently that it was but I'm not so sure. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

She was last known to be living in Detroit, but that's some time ago. I have tried to locate her a couple of times and have two leads left to explore. When I inteviewed Harry about her he said that he remembered at least 3 or 4 Browner produced tracks that were "in the can" when he collapsed Impact/Inferno. All in the next Issue of There's That Beat! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I have Billy. Cheers. Putting something in the post tomorrow am. If you do see the old fart, tell him to get out that bed, stop malingering and get back to completing the Motown TML numbers!! He's falling behind every day! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hey Hey, My post wasn't aimed at anyone in particular Mate, I'm off to California on 4th Nov. You coming? If not I'll lick Bywell's lugs for ya in between the dancin' and drinkin' Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

My apologies gentlemen, I shall withdraw from further postings on the subject. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Dave, Not at all. I understand that Mate and would support (and have) venues you mentioned. I think you need to maybe reread my post without such a defensive posture. I did actually open my comments almost with... "Surely as people have wanted to try different styles of music they've set up their own gigs. If you have the courage of your convictions simply go out and "do it". Been done in the past. Being done now". I would refer the learned gentleman to the comments by Sir James of Trouble...for an example of what I meant. Only a few minutes after my post. I rest my case M'Lud. I just don't think that constantly trying to convert people by "talkin' down" to them is the way it can be done effectively. I just get fed up of being termed a dinasour, a sheep, etc simply because the "soul congescenti", which is how it comes across a lot of the time, deem their preferences/values are so much more valid than anyone elses. Not expecting you to agree with me, just trying to make room for my opinion, surely it's as valid as anyone elses........mmmm maybe not? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Don't usually get embroiled in these debates now, as it's mostly all been said before. Thought I'd chip in on this one though as some of it I found particularly patronising... Surely as people have wanted to try different styles of music they've set up their own gigs. If you have the courage of your convictions simply go out and "do it". Been done in the past. Being done now. The guys who mandate an "all one room policy" should step up to the plate and DO IT. We, the soulies will then decide if it's for us or not. I've been collecting over 30 years and even I sometimes feel I'm being patronised by certain posts/threads/discussions! I don't particularly like the majority Modden Soul, House, Garage, Disco, Tent, or whatever the latest terminology is for the style that more commonly "blisters" itself on to Northern gigs cos it isn't self sustaining, but surely that's my choice. I'm nearly 50....I don't need edjumacating from peeps who consider them selves more "soulful" than me. I would suggest that the people clamouring for the "new blood" are the very same people who turn youngsters off with their "I know best, and you're all behind the times" attitude. It turns ME off...and I've been here 30 years! I have a number of friends who collect, follow, lead, run gigs, etc that are in their mid 20s. I never sought them out, changed my clothes to fit in with them, shaved my tache off, advised them to listen to certain records, etc. What I did do however, was treat them with the respect that I would treat anyone else, irrespective of age, or background on "the scene". The one thing that's different on the overseas "soul scenes" is a lack of people trying to ram their preferences down other people's throats. The younger element here in the States know what they like, they don't old gimps like me trying to "teach them" for Fcuk Sakes. They say that "familiarity breeds contempt". You have no idea how lucky you are in UK to have all this on your doorstep, venues galore, withing easy travelling distance, top class collectors spinning top class 45s week in, week out. In my opinion, the very people who are contstantly questioning the "future" of Rare/Northern soul are the very same ones who will eventually damage it so much it will simply fragment and disappear as a "scene". The one thing that will never disappear however will be "The Record Collector"...now there's a different topic! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Billy, Thanks for the update Mate. Top Banana! Al....if you could pass on Martin's Mum's address via Hitsville I'd be grateful Mate. Wanna stick a few bits in the post. Regards, Dave www.theressthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Top News! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

George Clinton - Please Don't Run - ABC LP Fookin' great record. Got hold of the pre press promo LP with all the pre release bumpf last year. Ebay - $10.00 or thereabaouts. Only bidder....bit surprised as it happens. Would have thought most "oldies" would have gone for it. Might spin this at the Central Soul Club in November....see what happend eh? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

He did tour again Kev. I saw him in 1984 when he was touring the US/UK airbases. Saw him at Brize Norton. Bit sad really as it was full of people that didn't know who he was really and the music became incidental. I spoke to him at length after the show and he seemed Ok with it. Suppose a paychech is a paycheck after all. Ain't nobody can blow like Mr DeWalt in my opinion. A true virtuoso. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Ken, The key word here is "Jobete". There are a number of Jobete promo things that are knocking around including a two album set of Motown stuff including songs covered by non Motown artists. The Detroit Wheels actually can be found with a Motown connection through the Inferno label owned by Harry Balk.....it's all in There's That Beat! Issue 2 out 10 December (blatant plug! ) Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Fantastic! Best news I've heard in an age! Well chuffed.....keep at it Matey. Is there somewhere we can send "bits"? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

How much? Off list if you like. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
