    Roburt what makes you think it's a 60s recording?
  2. Steve G
    The late 90s the dark and murky days of "northern soul"

    I actually think it's an early 70s Albequerque release, rather than 60's. And I don't think it's a Detroit recording. Micky valvano also did the original of "For the first time in my life" from Albequerque on Jodi Pat as I recall (later done by the Contours as "We're a winner"). "Wake up" is pretty ok as a sunshine pop record, about as much relevance to soul music though as Bobby Goldsboro records had in the late 70s. Speaks volumes that it got played

    Looks to be getting a bit of momentum going now......

    Top 4 Tops impersonation there - always loved that side. No one else know the subsidiary label I'm talking about?
  6. Steve G
    From memory Richard I don't think it is, but I'll check it out tonight if no one else replies.

    La Mont Johnson did other related rare New York things, I seem to recall there was a subsidiarty label of Down East!!! I have one somewhere on a WD but it's one of them abbreviations of several names.....I'll have to dig it out later. Two issues of Justin with different B sides is another slight mystery.... Have never seen a Musicor copy.

    Oooh yummy Detroit 70s / 80's. Please add these: JMC 113 Mack & Nina Reunited/ I. ( I have two records No 113 the other one as above on green JMC) JMC 140 Darnell jackson and Band Love peace and happiness / I. Think I might have a couple more in the lock up but the clocks have gone back and it's too dark to find them now.... Steve

    Richard played it on Phil Town as I recall it. The 7th Ave Aviators was played pretty soon afterwards. Why two labels? usual story someone hawking round the masters for release I'd say. Roburt, he also recorded for Gordy just before he died.

    Frankie Karl and Frankie Karl I'd say (played at WC by Richard)....same recording though isn't it?
  11. Steve G
    It has a reggae B side from memory

    A fantastic achievement by Ace / Kent who have kept the flag flying for a long time with an endless schedule of quality releases.

    What dancing?

    Performing is in the blood of some of these artists, esp. now as there is no record business left now so to speak. For all the huff and puff they love doing it and connecting with their fans. Uncle Burtbach was another one - didn't he have some 'tuneless hippy' groaning his way through "Kentucky Bluebird" on Jools H a few years back, I remember being in awe at how awful it sounded.....Poor old Lou J would be turning in his preverbial grave at this surely? I thought.

    I didn't see it, but I kind of guess where you are coming from. Dionne's voice must have dropped at least two octaves since the early 60s. Did you see The Beach Boys on there the other week? Honestly it was lamentable. Much as I don't like their sound I know it was "young and vibrant" and in it's own way exciting -although not for me. Instead what we saw was a bunch of tired old men with practically no voice left strumming guitars on some limp folk-rock twaddle.

    Really Dave? Seems to me like a hall is there for public entertainment - unless it's some kind of Quakers meeting house or something - and equipment goes hand in hand with such entertainment. But insurers small print never ceases to amaze me!

    Fabulous New York production. Someone snap this up.....
  20. Steve G
    Yes.

    I knew there was a reason I went x directory. Anyway I'm washing my hair between now and December... :lol:

    Chris if you ask on here and say you can't afford to pay any DJs, I guarantee you'll get at least 50 volunteers......
  23. Steve G
    It's actually a pretty good article for wikipedia
  24. Steve G
    Watch it Chris, they'll already have Liability insurance unless they are complete nutters; what they are asking you to do is get additional coverage to protect theirs in the event of someone falling over on the talc.
