I'm sure you are aware, but Colin Curtis interviewed Pep recently, and they talked about FL Moore. I think they said he was the first person to stock / have any Ric Tic 45's. In fact, they really shed allot of light on the period, 67/68/69 and then 70/71/72, really worth listening to. They talk about Cheapo Cheapos, Moon Dogs, places like that... https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/colincurtis/episodes/2023-02-18T10_26_16-08_00

Question, would 'Chris Kenner - Land of 1000 Dances' been an early import that got played at the Wheel ? Think that would have been 'Instant Records' in the States, very early 62/63. Just in keeping with Aussie Test Presses, cause I like lookin at em.....lol

I can't comment on imports in the late 6ts, but for a bit of eye candy, here's the Australian Test Press for the Festival release of 'Call on Me' as it came out twice. Lots of Bobby's early Duke tracks were on Aussie Top Rank, Cry Cry Cry etc...W&G had loads of releases on Bobby also, as well as some really interesting early Motown Releases, such as Bunny Paul and Contours. Also, someone mentioned Willie Tee, here is the Aussie Atlantic test press for that release, dunno bout you lot, but I get very hot under the collar with Aussie Test Presses!

From 72, quite common and cheap 45 in collecting circles, but a very very good one, here are the 'Califoirnia Girls' with Al Cleveland and KGFJ jock Ronald Bynam...

I think that's a mic-drop!

Butterball on WVON playing Jimmy Delphs - Almost...

Lucky Cordell, or Moses 'Lucky' Cordell was a big name at WVON, both as a DJ and later in Management at the station, his daughters Pat & Pam, had two releases via his GEC productions, "I Love You Yes I do" on Our Own Records, which now fetches money, and "Hey Love" on DAY DREAMING Records in 1974, which I think is such a quality 7ts track...it turns from a sweet track to something totally differnt, Rhythm via Larry & the Hippies on that 45... Lucky Cordell was deeply involved in the music business right up to the 8ts, his 'Good Luck' label / GEC productions put out 'Morris Jefferson – It's The Last Time Around for Me' in 1980, soaring vocals from Maurice, great modern track. actually, I realised E Rodney Jones and Larry & The Hippes had a connection also, they cut ‘Right On Right On' (Sex Machine), where Rodney does his thang ad libbin... I guess we should also mention Rufus Thomas and Sly Stone out there on the West Coast for their DJ work, which influenced their later music...

That is shamless Andy but I will certinally check it out mate...

maybe Queen Latifah might hit the spot... she really gets the flavor of the original, I like this one allot.... I know this isnt 'Keep on talking' but there is only so much you can say about a middle of the road cover version...

I agree John, not relevant really is it, only the good ones are relevant, so to speak... might I suggest this as something that I went crazy over a few years back, quite etherial this one... this is how to cover a great song... !

Ahhh!! you found it.... thank you I think it was used as a jingle, as I got that from a now defunct radio station Jingle site. I guess, if the show was made for a certain channel, then Radio stations in that group may have access to the song, they would have owned it outright if the song was commissioned for a show. We used to get all sorts of content at News UK (News International) from sister companies, Sky etc... so sharing content internally always goes on, there would be a license fee, but it would be well below market price... Thats very cool, cheers for finding that, I always wondered where it came from

Remember the night I got my copy Paul? we all drove up in my old Renault 5 and were followed by the rozzers most the way back!! lol. me doing a very capable 30mph out of London was a miracle really.... at least Bud cost the princely sum of £7, from a certain record dealer on the back wall, who was wearing a skirt...! he was a nice guy though, and his records were always cheap... On record prices elsewhere, did you all check Chryslers with monarchs band for £900 in the sales section? made my eyes water...

And finally, thank god! Moving On Up - Radio Jingle, no idea but I love the gospel grove in this one, probably 69/70/71, maybe for a black audience, but having heard the kind of adverts you got on KVON in Chicago, I'd say probably its aimed at a white audience..

and some more good ones from soul artists... Mitch Ryder one really is good, and guess what, 'Little Richard' he's back!!

I always put these up... bit of fun WVON: PAMS Soul Jingle 1 WVON_ PAMS Soul Jingle 2.mp3 WVON_ PAMS Soul Jingle 2 1.mp3

Tried to find their jingles, this is a good site for Bay Area radio history, but no KSOL, given they were one of the big stations, thats a bit of a shame... https://bayarearadio.org/jingles KNBR did a really good Tuned and Young 17/18 jingles, like these ones https://bayarearadio.org/audio/knbr/jingles/KNBR - Tuned Young 17 & 18 - 1967.mp3 There is also a bit on PAMS from Texas in there, they were the first agency to syndicate radio Jingles, in the same way Shutterstock and Getty do the same with news and creative content. PAMS called them (station identification jingle packages for radio and TV stations). So if these studios we all love, had the connections, they could get allot of bread and butter work form being a contributor. No where near Texas, but as most of you would have read from various sleeves, Dave Hamilton's studio did loads of this type of work in Detroit.

Thats the one, the cover I had with the blue soul lp was really nice, had a shot of all the jocks, with that 'Soul in the City' logo up top...and the Golden Gate bridge in the background. I think these were quite trendy for a time in collecting circles , long time ago now... awful sound quality but good Lp... wish I hadn't sold it now

I think this Station put out Soul complation Lp’s or Radio Lp's if you want to callthem that, the label was ‘Blue Soul’ if I remember right...

Hi all, anybody got a nice copy of this one? ealy release from 59, so I guess allot of copies will be well worn... cheers Malc
