  1. Looks like first seller gave backword Pete? Regards, Dave
  2. The Chubby Checker has received positive feedback from the buyer. Looks Kosher to me? Regards, Dave
  3. Ben Knight was with Detroit group/trio, Brothers of Soul. Ben Knight wasn't the original Knight member though , that was Richard Knight. (no relation as far as I know). It's Richard that is primarily the Knight of Bridges Knight and Eaton fame. Ben Knight joined the group after their late 609s outings. I think, without checking, around 1969. Hope this helps. Regards, Dave
  4. Full and extensive story of Jerry's life coming in the new book. Spent a great day with him ending up with a Pizza Party next to his offices. Some great anecdotes and photos too! Ross and Renzetti - LEGENDS! Regards, Dave
  5. I think it's a valid point that Tim makes that maybe you've missed because of the anti bootleg stance that most of us adhere to. When unissued material is located and deemed worthy of release, often the owners of the material don't see it as a commercially worthwhile venture and are happy to simply ignore it. I doubt whether Ed Wulrum owns any of the material but is the guardian of it due to his studio responsibilities. In this case then we, the fans are denied it when we'd be happy to pay for it. I think another great example is the Motown stuff that has limited vinyl appeal but for many of us more avid fans of "The Sound Of Young America" we are simply ignored or the eventual release of the CD sets etc don't appeal. some of the bootlegged studio sessions would never have seen the light of day had it not been for the determination of some folks. It's a fine line I'll grant you, but I don't think any artists/producer made music for it to be safely locked away for generations after. It's a quandary and I suppose collectors who despise bootlegging (as I do), could be called hypocritical but I see it as two separate issues, although intrinsically linked. Regards, Dave
  6. Here's one I own (Mines a minter though). Early release by the World's First Soul Supergroup! Dave
  7. Yep, fair enough Ady, I'm not privy to any info so was just relaying what I heard from Martin and Tim via radio interviews etc at the time. Tim was right about one thing though...some fantastic stuff came from Ed Wulfrum at the time eh? Regards, Dave
  8. Martin was definitely radio interviewed (I think by Richard S) in connection with the Solid Hitbound tapes/material he obtained. (I think whilst Don was still alive?) He unearthed things like Edwin Starr - Has It Happened To You", Sharon Soul (?) Girl Crazy and LV Johnson - Recipe, Joey Kingfish I Wont Hurt You.. alongside alt takes of some known things. I think I'm remembering correctly. This would have been around 96/97 maybe? Surely other people remember all this? Regards, Dave PS. Just found a piece written by Tim B in Manifesto that may well verify at least some of the above: Probably the most interesting for me is Rob Moss’ item on Ed Wolfrum and his observations, as a studio engineer, on Detroit recordings of the sixties. Don Davis used to use United Sound studios quite a lot back in those days and at Goldmine, we hit a deal with Don to release material he owned, a lot of stuff came from there — a situation Goldmine financed in terms of retrieving material from old masters. In fact stuff keeps emerging rather mysteriously from what would appear to be that source and I’ll say no more, suffice it to say that we obviously weren’t offered all the tracks mastered at the time. It is also rather disappointing, nay astounding to learn that Wolfrum has a ‘library’ of unreleased material which Rob claims ‘will probably never gain a release’. Hands up those that think that to be an acceptable situation! If this is true then Wofrum is doing no-one a favour. And whilst legal situations may be murky who is really going to complain or be precious about it? If anything the producers of said music probably have legal entitlement anyway. I’ll always remember Davis stating that he did not sell Solid Hitbound productions to Ric Tic or Golden World either outright or in perpetuity, and certainly not to Berry Gordy!
  9. 2 threads on this subject merged. Regards, Dave
  10. Yep, that made me smile the second I read it too! Proper collector! I'm sure many on here have dealt with John over the years, especially when he was a 'resistant' soul 45 seller. Many a bargain to be had then. Bit different now mind! Regards, Dave
  11. It must be in the genes. Nothing beats a great live performance. Regards, Dave
  12. I think many on here will identify with Teftellers outlook. Regards, Dave https://www.fuse.tv/2013/10/why-i-paid-37100-for-one-record
  13. I think Martin actually owns the rights to this Richard? He and Tim reissued it on the Connoisseur label in UK back in the mid 90s (with an alternative take if I remember correctly. I thi nk it was all part of the Solid Hitbound stuff Martin purchased Regards, Dave
  14. We're soul fans - not freakin' social workers. If the likes of Spyder Turner, Al Kent, Harthon, Jaylynne, United Sound, Watts and 103rd St, The Snakepit, Groovesville, Muscle Shoals, Geo-Si-Mik, etc etc etc don't make you feel welcome then maybe...just maybe, you're in the wrong gaff. Regards, Dave
  15. Howard Tate - Baby I Love You - Verve DEMO ONLY Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave
  16. Hi Dave, Great stuff! I'm obliged Sir. Regards, Dave
  17. I've never seen a WDJ either. But that's what I want if possible. I've learned over the years to never say never! Nah then........who's got one? Regards, Dave
  18. Think that Genie is well and truly out of the bottle Mate. And has been for some years! Regards, Dave
  19. Hi Robb, Having interviewed all three of the guys extensively, it's still difficult to establish exactly what was licenced by them and what was simply 'pressed up' by people with an eye for the UK Northern market. Hence my use of a question mark. Regards, Dave
  20. Could some kind soulsourcer provide me with a scan of the Gail Anderson - Let's Fall In Love All Over - Gamble 45? I know I've asked before but I'm down to the wire now. If anyone could help could you scan it at 300 dpi and send it to hitsville2648@earthlink.net Full credit given of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Dave .
  21. Reggie Alexander - It's Better - Boss (WDJ preferably). No wol, sol or any of that gubbins. Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave
  22. No need to be sorry Mate. What you call 'subtly altered' I simply called a 'bastardised version'! Detroit Sounds.....my arse! Regards, Dave PS. Are you saying that the 45 is a legit Cameo release?
