Love it, I've booked a stall selling all the essentials...with free record on the night, the Natural Carbonation Beer Drinking Song ! The Utica Club Natural Carbonation - Beer Drinking Song.mp3

Ok, managed to push this on a bit, and get a responce from the horses mouth. I asked Tim, and he says he thinks it's 'Eddie Anderson' on lead, because one, it sounds like him, and two, they had seen the name on some masters relating to that release. He said it might not be, but that what he thinks... Made me laugh, he said if somebody like him says that, it must be true!! lol

That’s fair…

still in inclusive, although Steve deffo refers to Easy Livin’ and it sounds as if he confirms both tracks, he doesn’t actually say it on ‘I lost you’… ‘I lost you’ sounds to me like a different singer.

Soul 4 Real, by a country mile! I guess you could divide this up, into labels re issuing tracks, released or unreleased, from the vaults, or labels putting out newly recorded music in the Soul & Funk and Jazz Genre...

My notes, say, 'I Lost You' Is actually Steve Mancha, written by Tony Hester. Steve didn't like the flip song 'Easy Livin' , He could not imagine singing a song like this on stage as it had so many words in it, so it got released as 'The Holidays'. although Tim Brown in his latest auction, says; Another supreme piece of Detroit soul music sees the famed group (who had nearly as many line-ups as The Drifters) appear just the one time on Don Davis’ label. Eddie Anderson is lead on this one, but the flipside ‘Easy Living’ is actually Steve Mancha and was released as J.J. Barnes by UK Stax! Not only that but the group’s name was misspelt on this one – make little wonder that it is rare. So easy Livin, is Steve Mancha, but 'I Lost You' is 'Eddie Anderson'? cause I thought both were Steve Mancha...

Thats really Sad, used to speak to him an awful lot when I lived in London, he was a Gentleman. Rest in Peace Paul.

Thats the same as my old Issue copy, my old demo was the same as Eddie's (Below) I have see the different designs about over the years, as far as I can tell they were only on that release, 'Easier said Than Done'. In terms of press, both mine were 'Bestway', so they re pressed it for sure.

I thought we had spoken about Jerry Naylor ? laughing

This one? a so, so sixties pop record...got bugger all to do with Northern Soul... Says "Samantha appeared on stage and on TV alongside some of the biggest names of the decade, including Val Doonican, Arthur Askey, Ken Dodd and Simon Dee".

I really like their 'Keep Your Love Strong' on Atlantic, good soulful slowie, got mine from the late Roger Stewart at his shop in Fulham. Records like that used to fall out of that shop, every Friday I'm hoping it's the same group, sounds like it, I've no idea if that was just a national release, meaning I've not seen it on another label before...

I can’t remember that many soul do's that were that bad, there have a few eye opening moments for sure, I've certainly had very very scary nighters on the house scene, 88/89/90 it went with the territory, The Hummingbird in Brum quite like Wigan, you didn’t go to the toilets on your own at the 'Bird', because you would have everything stolen from you...it was a very racial in there, allot of the Kings Standing lot (Villa Supporters) for the most part, were racist, they went there to fight, deal and all the rest of it... Mosely Dance center, for those of you who know it, was seriously dodgy, it was next to Ballsall Heath, and in mid 1990 attracted a massive crowd that had come over from the Hummingbird. There were allot of very big dealers there, and they brought there own trouble, most major cities have/had clubs like this... it was a shame cause it was a really great venue, music and Dj's were very good... Anyhow, Soul, been a few exchanges in the 100 Club que over the years, you can't stand about on Oxford street and not meet nutters walking past... Rememeber a fight way down the line, Sean Adams steamed into that, he came running past me, it didn't last long once he turned up......! lol One year at Cleethorpes I was in the modern room, it was the Sunday night so everybody had turned up to hear the classics, always a good night the Sunday night. I'm very worse for wear but I'm strutting my stuff and doing my moves and enjoying the night!! laughing Got chatting to this chap who was dancing next to me, alright mate, and all that....and he says I'm nipping out for a cigarette, comin? so I pip out. I'm out there 2 mins and he comes onto me, along the lines of “he has months to live" something like that.... I'm like, WTF! Mate I'm not gay, but no hard feelings and all that.... Then as soon as I look up his mate, a girl steams in front of us in her car, the passenger door swings open, and they make a quick getaway... I'm standing in the cold, what has just happened? didnt ruin the night, it was a great night, last night always is, but I felt a bit foolish best have another drink then, hit the floor

Sunlovers was £120 for years, thats allot for that. Platters was nice...

This is very very random, but I was listenig to the theme music to 'Tomorrow's People', you know, as you do, and checked out an old episode on YT, then I found this, check out the start @ 0:08, and tell me the BBC were not taking about Jimmy Saville in 1974...~? some chap in the comments below also mentions it...
