And also omit the year of copyright. Most if not all British major record labels had the copyright year clearly printed on the label.

Truly woeful fodder. Doomed the moment the songwriters believed that " brambling " could seriously be introduced into a lyric Artists and musicians not at fault as they no doubt went along with it for the money. Lee Fields & The Expressions faithful take on JJ Cale's Magnolia is how it should be done. Band/Producer even had the imagination to add pedal steel guitar, not used on the original, an instrument normally reserved for country music.

Terribly sad news. Ben was such a genuine, warm and friendly person who always spent time to say hello and have a chat when you met him out and about. He was one of the first friends Denise and I made when we started going to soul do's in London and we'll both miss him badly. Our condolences to his family, Carmel and to you Sean as he was your best mate. RIP Ben Mike & Denise

Nice tune. Just bought a download from iTunes £0.79. 3 for sale on discogs £100 each.

Haven't posted anything in ages mainly because I haven't bought anything recently. However, I came across this 45 in a secondhand record shop in a small Norfolk market town recently along with about 30 other 45's ( mainly non soul ). I paid £16.00 for the batch of singles which proves that there are still some bargains to be had!. The batch also included an early calypso/ska 45 on Island ( Kentrick Patrick ) which I sold to a dealer at a record fair in Norwich and Jobell Orch on a Pye demo which I've got for sale on Ebay. Great sounding tune apparently written by the main man himself and a true double sider as the flip is Time. Bit torn as to whether to Keep or sell!

Bought a demo in Ex condition from a respected seller on here 12 months ago for £200.00. It hadn't sold for a number of days so seller accepted a near offer. Think it was originally advertised for £225.00. Always regarded it as a £200.00 record in that condition having kept on eye on prices of various sales over the past few years. Is a great record but you would have thought its price has peaked.

Interesting article in The Guardian online about a new film being made documenting the making of Marvin's classic album. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jul/13/marvin-gaye-family-approve-whats-going-on-documentary

From a previous thread on here (which I can't find), I understood that the Hour Glass is the original local release. However, the Spectrum release comes with the bonus of his version of Crying Clown on the flip.

Can hear it here:- https://themusic.com.au/music/streams/2016/02/24/premiere-kylie-auldist-family-tree/ Kylie Auldist is one of Australia’s prime funk and soul musicians. Her new single Family Tree ties in strongly with her roots, both those musical and hereditary, and lucky for you, we're premiering the track exclusively today on theMusic.com.au. Auldist with her soulful and velvety tone in the song discusses her family tree and how she values the love of her family. Kylie reflects, "Family is there first and last, they are inspirational, and this song is for them". Family Tree is also the title of her electro-soul album due for release on 26 February. She'll launch the single as part of Brunswick Music Festival at Howler in Melbourne on Saturday, 19 March with support acts The Meltdown and a '70s soul and disco set from DJ Miss Goldie.

Agree. No-one wearing headphones - just wouldn't happen when "tracking" https://forgottenhits60s.blogspot.co.uk/2013_10_20_archive.html ( Russ Terrana ) At this particular point in time (the fall of 1966), Motown's infamous "Studio A" on West Grand Boulevard had recently installed a new, custom-built recording machine which was capable of recording eight individual tracks, instead of the usual four that machines at other studio's, including those at Golden World, were limited to. On the eight-track Hitsville machine, the basic rhythm tracks for a record were recorded on the first four tracks (with the drums recorded on one track, the bass on the second track, guitars on the third and keyboards on the fourth). Vocals and other additional sweetening instruments were then recorded on to the remaining four tracks, usually at separate recording sessions a short time later. By contrast, the first 8 Track machines were not operational in commercial studios in London until the end of 1967.

I like the Jeb Loy Nichols tune. Saw him play live at an album launch upstairs at Ronnie Scott's about 4 years ago. He was excellent but "My Mistake" is a bit of a departure from what he was playing then. Rob Ryan, Polyvelts on here, played some tunes before he came on so I guess that Jeb likes a bit of obscure soul music too.

Just had a listen to the LP version on Spotify. Totally different recording. Still a great version though.

Crossover in the music biz is defined as:- musical works or performers who appeal to different types of audience. Coined in the late 50's when the likes of Pat Boone were re recording toned down versions of R&B tunes? Seems to have a different meaning on the soul scene. Eg this definition from Dave Rimmer in Soulful Kinda Music:- 'Crossover'. Now what on earth does that mean, and where does it fit in amongst the Northern Soul scene ? Well it means records that were recorded during the late Sixties and early Seventies, records that don't fit the old style stomper beat, but don't fit comfortably into the Modern scene. The difficulty with Crossover is just that though, because it doesn't fit into either scene entirely it gets played on both, so just blurs the descriptions even more. I would hazard a guess that there are no allnighters that play just Crossover, but I'm sure someone will prove me wrong ! Anyway, here's a few I like:- Jimmie Ellis - Happy To Be Little Carl Carlton - Drop By My Place Bobby Foster - Where Do You Go

Few more experiments with my camera phone. The building is Norwich University Of The Arts with Norwich Cathedral in the background in the 2nd picture.

Oh and one more. Been experimenting with my camera phone settings!

Haven't posted any pics for ages but thought I'd share a few from recent winter walking trips in Brides Les Bain and Cromer.

Excellent!

Excellent!

Really enjoyed the evening - maybe a little too much Excellent tunes in your list Billy. Didn't you also spin The TSU Toronadoes - What Good Am I ? All the best Mike
