Jim Elliott

Mint copy of Bobby Lee Fears (Forward records) if poss. Cheers Jim.

I'm sure, many many years ago I read In Gerri Hershey's 'Sweet Soul music' book that Jerry used to do ice sculpture. Or I could be talking bollocks, it's anyones guess. Regards Jim.

That said, several of Lee's tracks have been released by Kent in the very dim and distant past, 'Never want to lose my sweet thing', 'Wrong number', 'Then would you love me' and the superb 'It's all over between us' all had outings on Kent albums in the 80's so possibly clinching the deal may not be too hard (altho that was a long time ago now). It would only take an unreleased track of quality to wake up the chinstrokers (dream on Jim). I think it would appeal, much like the Spencer Wiggins cd did which also spans several genres. That said, we had the luxury of Spencer over here plugging the thing! Oh to have the same with Lee Charles. 'Someone, Somewhere' live? Yes please! RIP Lee.

Thats the article I meant Steve, great stuff. People look oddly at me when I rave over Lee Charles, glad it's not just me. Jim.

What with all the recent (and not so) cd's of the likes of George Jackson, Darrow and so on I wondered if anyone ever had considered one of Chicago's backroom heros in the shape of the late Lee Charles for a comp. A strange cat in that, along with others such as Willie Tee, Richard Caiton and Ty Karim had a moderate body of work, all of which is/was bloody superb. But then theres all the 'Fountain' scene he was connected to with Jerry and Billy Butler, Terry Callier, Larry Wade et al, as well as penning the odd tune or three inc 'I've learned about life'. To think of some unreleased Revue/Dakar/Bamboo gems hidden away on this very underated dude keeps me up nights. Other than a great article and discog about 10 years ago now in SOS infos a bit scarce also, shame, a real unsung hero. But then again, what's new eh? Hopeful, Stoke On Trent (Come on Ady!)

Out of this world cd Ady, just for the photos alone it's a treasure. However to hear Tony Hester in that clarity is bloomin marvellous. Brilliant. Jim.

Should do really Chalks, but no idea how to do it! Was playing one the other day whilst washing up, with Clarky on top form, Jean Battle, Sensational Little Doc, Brothers Guiding Light (none of which I knew at the time) bloody great. ps Doesnt the 'Lonette' sound great! Jim.

I was 21 that year and remember those weekenders very well indeed. Still got the tapes, which were heavily played to say the least! Fantastic days. Just Brothers is possibly himselfs best spin ever. Regards Jim.

Excuse my French, but that is f+%ing awesome I cannot wait. Happy new year indeed. Jim.

'Go on and laugh' is possibly one of my neighbours finest ever records. Brilliant. Jim.

I for one, had a fantastic night at the Wilton and was half a mind to make the 100 but work, as usual intervened. Was great to see the man again, who, after a 35 year lay off can still cut it. I do think there is always an air of complacency at times with the rare soul scene, especially when it comes to live acts, (WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THE MOST) out of every oppurtunity surely!? I never thought when I was 14 groovin to 'What good am I' that I'd get a chance to say hello and thanks to the man in question, hell, and to hear 'It's no mistake' live in deepest Yorkshire. Marvellous, Tremendous. Many thanks to all who cared enough to run with it. Cheers Jim.

Afternoon all Whilst at Lifeline last night I heard this, 'Running wild' by Sunrise movement, spun by Andy I think, new to me. Knockout stuff indeed. Any info would be gratefully digested. Cheers Jim.

Chuffed then, mine look like that Mr 123 Motown. After years of trawling through James Last albums I've found a goodie Cheers Jim.

Sounds promising then, these look to be the Wand releases. Ta.

Evening all, Just found a couple of copies of this 'junking' in my fine city. I don't generally have this kind of luck. Which leads me to question their (ahem) lineage Has it been booted? Regards Jim. ps bloody great record anyway.

Reluctant sale of this 'This time Im gone' strong VG++ I would say. £200 +p+p Regards Jim.

That is class.

All the Sensations 45's are just great tho, my fave is 'New day', at least I didn't have to sell my kidney for that one. Oh well. ...or actually Soul Notes 'Don't make me beg' I'm off to play em.

Why is it that nearly every release on WAY OUT is gettable, other than 'Demanding Man'. Very annoyed of Stoke.
