Oh God!

The Burt record was from detroit I think. Blue label, have it somewhere. Probably also have the Venture stuff too as I did an article on the label in Shades of Soul a while back.

Just been and looked in my Motown albums - he was on: Totally Tata Givin all my love Full speed ahead

Robert Mousey Thompson? All these I've listed are ones he may have been on - his name certainly appears on 'em.

Clifton Dyson & Rick Webb "I can't let you go" ?

Artwork? Come on man this is too easy......

Ron Cartier LP?

Rhythmically Very similar to Take me back just a bit earthier and more subdued

Neale Sharpe & Debra Franklin - but it's outta Tx so probably Al not directly involved. Wasn't he also involved with the group Aggregation?

There is another vesion of Im back for more on a black label, I'll see if I can find it.

What is this a list of his productions? - if so plenty plenty more to add. What about the other 80s version of "I'm back for more" for starters

No not the same and pretty sure W&MMs was first, but would need to double check to be sure

OK Roger was waiting for you to post up some pics. I am a technophobe in that department.... Here's my assessment Boot has darker black printing (heavier ink) (the original has quite light ink on it) Boot is a slightly darker orange Boot shows signs of glue creases on label especially around the centre hole Boot has much narrower run in BUT the biggest difference Boot has BEE 223A in run out Original has BB223A in run out Hope that helps y'awll.

Ken It's not a second issue - it's a boot

As Pete says Delta number in the run out over 100,000 then it's a BOOT from 76/77 (we need an avatarr for boot methinks).

Reckon it'll go down further $1.50 or lower by Crimbo. Buy dollars NOW*. *Investments can go up as well as down. The information contained in this email is merely an opinion and should not be relied upon as investment advice. So there.

You guys got it. Lou Pride was told the same thing, as was Emmanuel Laskey etc etc. A lot of people are labouring under the mis apprehension that they had No 1 hits in England.

It's the only one missing from my GOLDEN WORLD collection too, but rest assured I shall not be paying more than £5 for a copy.

Correct that is what they say: Sha la la la Sweet sweet song-on the dancefloor, Move with me Shoo-doo doo-doo Doo-doo'

Hmmmm . . . .Before my time I am afraid. I was but an empty space on the Wigan dancefloor

Good luck with this Danny. It has cleared the floor for me, but a good tune nonetheless

I doubt that is correct as Lester died in the early 80s after the record had been released and Grapevine had finished. I have spoken to a number of former singers who have been told they have had No 1's in England, and also been approached by people in the music business wanting to record them. It could have been anyone. I must admit I wasn't aware that Lester had made any other records apart from "This won't change"

Blackbeat magazine. Ian Clark covered the story and got the info from Tom dePierro. There was also a reprint of the funeral service and I believe a picture of Lester in his mortar board hat presumably on college graduation or something.

Ahhh a dodgy boot thing then? Remember Andy OVO.

Moses Smith unissued?
