There was a Val Simpson track on those boots a couple of years back on a Tamla label but I can't remember the title - it had only been an LP track

Great info, thanks

This one is really puzzling me. Charlotte Stokes - Is This The Price I Have To Pay - T.I.P. 100. Is this a real record is it a Simon type thing? Firstly, it looks like a boot, the run off gives away nothing except a poorly scratched in number. The same track is on both sides. The recording quality is fairly low fi. The backing track is the same as The Flirtations - Change My Darkness Into Light. Does anyone know anything about this one? I think maybe someone got hold of the backing track and put new lyrics to it - but not in the 60's.

Just to let everyone know, another £125 gone into the Louie fund, thank you all once again, only need a few quid now and it will top £4000. I said I wouldn't do any more CD's but it seems daft not to keep raising the money. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/louie2008?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=shares-from-email&utm_campaign=sponsor-receipt-email-share-facebook&utm_content=louie2008%3futm_medium%3demail&post_id=10152470961751929_10155179787881929#_=_

Hi, I've still got it, sorry couldn't get on yesterday as had people here all day

You sent me way too much mate, was that for one, did you want me to put the rest in the fund, or was it for a couple? Thank you, whichever way..

I am wrong about TOTP incredibly the original promo exists still - but I'm still convinced I've seen Adrienne Posta on something connected to this. It does actually sound like Pat Coombs though lol

No she was definitely the voice of the group on TOTP, remember it distinctly. I'll see if I can find evidence.

I always thought that was Adrienne Posta! Maybe she did the TOTP.

Totally nothing to do with this topic but I spoke to Verdelle Smith last week!

Many thanks to Tim Everett who has donated 5 copies of this promo only Drifters 45 for me to sell to raise money for the Louie fund. This was a 100 copy only run to promote the No Boundaries Modern Soul album in 2013. They are £10 each or of course you can pay more if you want to LOL. All come with the promo insert too.

Blimey where was this thread resurrected from and why was I so snappy, I bet I'd stopped taking the prozac at that time

yes Mick pete.smith@freeuk.com £11 inc post if you could let me have your address as well, cheers

No, different song mate, I'd say three years later than that one

Well that's 70 copies done...my arm's nearly dropping off writing all those envelopes :-)

If anyone wants their CD's sent to them as audio files via We Transfer I can do that - it means you won't have to wait for the postman but it also means you'd have to burn it yourself. If you want to do that, just PM me with your email address.

James did you want a CD, if so can you message me with your address thanks

Thank you James Also - another £260 gone in just now

Message from Louie's Mom: Hi Pete I really cannot thank you enough for how much generosity you have shown us. My boyfriend has been racking his brains with a way we can thank you and we would love to do something to say thank you to you and the Northern Soul Community.

In fact I've just seen what you donated and that is way beyond the call of duty so thanks from myself and Louie's family.

Thanks so much mate that's really kind of you

I was hesitant about posting this but Kirsty said to do so, so here goes I've had some PM's asking me about a CD I did for a fundraising site on Friday - the charity is called Louie's New Legs and it's trying to raise £20,000 so a little boy who was in our Grace's class at school can get an operation which will enable him to walk for the first time. I didn't want to come back on here and immediately ask people for money which is why it hasn't been advertised on Soul Source. The link to the fundraising page is below if you'd like to have a look, and you can see all of the donations on the right hand side. The CD has some stuff on there that nobody else has got and three or four extremely in demand tracks like the alternate Crazy Baby and Just Like The Weather. The rest are all in public domain before anyone accuses me of stealing their tracks. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/louie2008?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socspondesktop&utm_content=louie2008&utm_campaign=post-sponsorship-donation-desktop This is the track listing should anyone be interested, they are £11 (£1 is postage) no fancy sleeves or anything, all of the money is going to the charity above and we've already donated over £1500 so far by selling records, so these were just an idea I had to keep the momentum going, I announced them on facebook on Friday and was able to put another £560 into the fund on Friday evening.
