Windlesoul

And from the "If you see my baby" 45, we know the Passions were Pat, Connie and Carol - any surnames?

I did find this discog (obviously not complete) https://www.45rpmrecords.com/ST/Elvitrue.php

Anybody got any history on these ladies? I read Elvitrue was out of South 7th Street, Wilmington NC, owned by John Lewis Jones which had a sporadic recording history of around 10 releases, until 1976. The reportoire included pop, soul, gospel, country and funk acts. Though I'm sure I also read it is linked with Ohio based Rite custom publishing? And the NY Satelite Music Publishers connection? On "Hello college girl (boy)" the writing credits refer to Camp Lejeune NC — this was / is a marine corps base camp near Wilmington, which ties in with the Elvitrue address. E.J. Chaplin was a marine? What's the deal? Other than that, nowt? Anybody got any other bits, no matter how minor....need a few leads to explore for the next book...

As a totally off topic aside, the Cellar is indeed in Charlotte, possibly the last old brick building(boarded up now) in the middle of what is now a city centre of glass and skyscrapers. Just about every decent beach band from NC played there in the sixties....took us a while to find it though...me and Nat Speir, founder of Bob Meyer and the Rivieras (who also played there), finally found it tucked away next to a parking lot. From what we can work out this was the front entrance...

Sooooo..... London mod scene '82/83...+ / - @ 100 Club (really could do with Ady confirming / refuting this) Then Colin gets hold of one '84 then later c/u'd as Willie G and Magic Rhythm band, covered up for what, a year or two? Goes maseeve ya bas by '87ish at Allanton (did he maybe play it at Glenrothes YM too? Steve / Alan to comment?) No to Stafford Then Pat, '85/86/87 Phil etc Yes? No? (Jock would you mind PMing me Colin's email details please if you've got em, need to ask him a favour)

Did the 100 Club maybe beat us Scots to it then? Ady C.?

Cheers Chalky. Maybe Colin could throw some light on things too?

Troy Marrs - Rhythm Message - Sure-shot After a bit of history on this folks. I associate this most fondly with Colin Law playing it as (I think) Willie G and the Magic Rhythm Band (at Shotts etc). Just need a bit of clarification that Colin (if you're here...) was first / one of the first to play this, or anyone else else possibly around the same time? Dates, names and places please ! Did read somewhere it was a Stafford play which would predate me hearing it go big in Scotland, but not sure whether this was urban myth. Need to get my facts straight for the next book... Any comment Colin ? Or Chalky on the Stafford bit? Cheers guys!
