    I heard a theory a while back that the follow - up's to some of our faves , that ultimately didn't get released , were sometimes better songs than the released sides so the company [RCA / Motown etc ] had an even better record to follow up with if the first record was a hit , which they weren't of course .I think this is why many of the RCA collectable sides are rare on Black issue , as they were demo'd in quantity and if they didn't get the thumbs up from the radio DJ's or the listening public , then very few stock copies were produced .Best,Eddie

    Remember buying my copy of this album from a record shop in Oxford at the time , think it was at a budget price as well , if you've got this set then you'll probably agree with me that the sleevenotes are amazing and sell the album to the buyer almost as much as the music within the grooves .....Best,Eddie

    Really sad news , her " Wounded Woman " set is one of the finest albums of all time , rest in peace Sandra .....Eddie

    Really hard to pick one track out of an outstanding career and huge catalogue , but I would probably go for " A Lovers Hideaway " [ Hot Line ] or " How do you mend a broken heart " [ Hi ] .Fantastic idea for a thread ...Best,Eddie

    I listened in my van today and found it quite an interesting interview .Elton didn't come across anything like the traditional perception we get in the press .Best,Eddie

    Even in downhome Banbury ,Oxon we had the MGM / Verve '45's on the visiting fairground as prizes .I also remember winning a sealed Mel and Tim " Starting all over again " Stax album for losng at darts , which was easy for me ....Remember the local market had upteen copies of The Magictones on MAHS , and further afield in Leamington Spa , there was loads of copies of Spyder Turner and Kim Weston on MGM . Best,Eddie

    Lisa Shaw " I'm OK " Jazzanova featuring Ben Westbeech " I can tell " The Final Decisions " I ain't feelin ' no pain " oldies wise love Ady Pountain's " Crazy Baby " , Butch's inst of The Voicemasters and " Just like the weather " new vocal , plus Tommy and The Derbys , and many more ...

    I love the flip side " Ip slippin ' dippin ' " which is on a 2 sided WD and much cheaper ...The issue is pretty hard to find tho' Lenny ....Best wishes ,Eddie

    I voted " awesome " remember getting this on tape via Rob and Chris Marriott during the Stafford era , legendary super rare side then , and still very hard to get now .The flip is brilliant and probably the even better side .Sure it's messy , but then lots of our fave records are , it's Rare Soul ain't it ? Best,Eddie
  18. Eddie Hubbard
    Thats my favourite version - love it !! Best,Eddie

    Pete ,I've got a Black Music mag. from about '74 , with Ian Levine raving over both Baby don't you weep and I'm gonna love you , so wouldn't be suprised if it was Levine first again ....Best,Eddie

    That's fine Kev , ironically Skip Jackson is now popular for the flip side as well .Lost count of the amount of times I could've bought Professionals from Wigan for 18 - 20 quid .Remember Rob Marriott paying £40 off Soul Bowl [ how we laughed at the time ... ] Wasn't until Richard started pushing it in the latter days of Wigan that it's stature grew .He always announced it as " This is Steve Mancha " [ probably because the flip is " Did my baby call " ] ....Best,Eddie

    Hi Kev ,I never said it was a failed Wigan spin , those tapes were home made from Gillys records that he brought round .Think Skip Jackson was a Mecca side wasn't it ? Best,Eddie
  22. Eddie Hubbard
    Ha Ha , you're too kind Gilly ..Still got the tapes from those days , Skip Jackson , Fantastic Epics etc ...All the best ,Eddie
  23. Eddie Hubbard
    And that's what it's always been about Ian , travelling to these obscure places to hear records[ and possibly buy them ] you couldn't hear anywhere else - great isn't it !! Best,Eddie
  24. Eddie Hubbard
    Gilly , do you remember when you used to turn up at me and Elaine's and get me out of bed from my night shift LOL ...You always had some interesting records for me to tape and on this occasion you had Larry Wright from Popcorn and a Popcorn and The Mohawks Popcorn bag , given out at Cinemas in Detroit in the early 60's [ have you still got it ? ] Great memories of those days , even if I couldn't get back to sleep afterwards Ha Ha .....Best wishes ,Eddie
  25. Eddie Hubbard
    Ian , you'll kick yourself .....Yvonne recorded her version of " I Can't change " c/w " Mend The Torn Pieces " on Junior records , sure you know that tho ' .........Best,Eddie
