Bob had the contact information for Bobby Newsome from the Vontastics which he passed along to me, with the warning that apparently he was quite old and out of it. I called them up, it was a bit of an awkward interaction they were living in some type of old folks home and I had to convince the staff member who answered to let me speak with him first. Once I got on the line with Bobby he didn't have much interest in talking with me about his music unfortunately, unless I was enough of a big shot, which I definitely was not and had not interest in convincing otherwise. I let Bob know what happened, and I remember he was quite surprised that I was actually able to get through to him and said he would like to try calling himself. Never heard anything back from Bob about it after that though.

Did you quote the wrong post here Robb? Some valuable information but I don't see what the connection is between Harry Balk and The Appreciations. The relevant bit from the article: "Their next recording was “I Can’t Hide It” / “No, No, No” (Aware 1066). Hattie set up Aware for this sole release. The tracks were recorded in 1966 at the Golden World / Ric Tic Records Studios in Detroit. The group liked the Motown sound and wanted to be part of it. Willie Mitchell (band leader, producer, wind and keyboard player) coached and arranged the session and, according to Charles, played baritone sax. Mitchell is perhaps more associated with Memphis than Detroit. In reality however he wrote, produced, arranged and recorded a number of tracks for Lee Rogers, Buddy Lamp and others on Detroit labels such as Wheelsville, Premium Stuff and D-Town, either from his Memphis base or in Detroit itself. The Aware release enjoyed some success in the south east and mid-west regions." Seems like a perfect example of the phenomenon that the original poster was looking for with a Charlotte based group on a Charlotte Label travelling up to Detroit to use their recording studios.

The Four Tracks on Mandingo surely must've been recorded in Detroit. I've heard it said that this was recorded at Magic City studios, not sure if that's just speculation but it makes sense if you compare it to a record like The Young Sirs. They have a similar "shrill" sound, don't mean that in a bad way in this case haha, think both are brilliant.

The Younghearts - Little Togetherness/Beginning Of The End OG Promo copy in beautiful EX+ condition. Many would likely grade this NM. A very minor scuff or two either side but otherwise glossy and flawless, plays wonderfully! I'm asking 310 GBP. Payment by Paypal, no friends and family. Shipping worldwide via Canada Post is 8 GBP. If you want signature or tracking it will be significantly more as unfortunately the mail system here is very expensive. Willing to work with you to avoid extra VAT or other taxes on your end if needed.

Worth noting that the song "Is It All A Bad Dream" was also recorded by the Flint Emeralds and released on Coconut Groove. Not sure which one came out first, I'd guess the Flint Emeralds but there's a Michigan connection at least.

Hey! Never really put a want out before but I'm looking for some help on some group harmony records that have thus far eluded me. Would really like to cross a few of these off the list. Willing to pay nicely for clean copies but definitely still interested in lesser condition copies for the rarer ones. Charisma on Beauty Epics on Active Vels on Hue Main Attraction on Violet La'Fez on MJW (1002) Dyshions on Locked Desciples of Soul on G.V. Techniques IV on Twink Total Unity on Delshar Faces of Truth on Jay-Sum Grant Street Exit on Del-La or Millage Sugar Ray Roll on Beauty We Three Ltd. on Astroscope Fabulous Performers on Blackjack (1408) Spontains on Playboy Faces of Truth on Jay-sum Thanks!

Jeff Adams - From The Beginning/Oki [Sue] Condition - NM // 200 USD + Shipping [$10] Worldwide [From Canada] A gorgeous near mint copy of this pretty rare & obscure record that should be of interest to northern/group soul/popcorn collectors. From the beginning is a really good midtempo/northern side with nice group harmony backing [why I own this record]. Oki is an instrumental which I don't care for but might appeal to some popcorn fans. Listen: Message me here on Soulsource or email me at sbarrett@ualberta.ca if you're interested. Thanks!

How do you know the Brilliant's are from St. Louis?

Indeed it was from Bob that I first heard that this footage existed. I've been searching for it ever since. It was once on the internet, unfortunately they took the show with the Brothers of Soul footage down from their website a while ago for whatever reason. You'll notice if you go through the episode you posted the Brothers of Soul's performance is absent.

I'm super excited to share this with all of you! It is likely the only extant video footage of the Brothers of Soul. I spent a long ass time trying to track down this footage, and just about as long getting it into a format that I could share with others. Definitely worth it though, as in my mind it's a supremely important historical document of one of Detroit's finest vocal groups.

They're from Numero Group's Eccentric Soul Omnibus. Family Connection is in there as it's a great sweet soul 2-sider. The release wasn't targeted towards the northern soul crowd. https://www.numerogroup.com/eccentricsoul/
