    But it is ‘t though is it, it is justba few idiots spouting off on social media, some using the term on their flyer for some sort of credibility. Most couldn’t give a sh*t, that includes your serious collectors and Djs. Most support the venues who do it how it should be done without being told some silly rule. You only have to read topics like this to see that most either haven’t a clue what they are on about or cannot agree on whatbthe criteria for such a rule should be. As I said just go out and enjoy the music, support those who you know care and do it right and smack those who spout silly rules round the head with a bootleg or two

    Any one who plays the MGM, their reputation would be solid, except for some fuck wit in a dark corner who it seems hasn’t got a clue.

    There you go complicating a simply situation, any LP, local, national release, any company reissue within a reasonable time period is original release. I wouldn’t play a reissue if a first press there or even the acetate personally. Anyone who says a national releae isn’t original and ok to play needs to give their head a good wobble.

    Again I doubt there is one venue anywhere that sticks strictly to this stupid rule.

    Again this topic simply highlights how ridiculous some people are, won’t go anywhere that plays acetates, cds etc etc. How daft can this scene get. Why not just put yer trust in the promoter and the Dj, most do it right and most of us know who do try to do it right. As for master recording, don’t be so daft, its a dance scene and who on earth plays the tapes? Just go out and enjoy yer sen rather putting stupid ridiculous rules in the way of others. As I said most quote OVO for their own agenda and to make em look clever, most of us have got by pretty well for decades without the stupid term. Some of you want to take your heads out from up your arses before you disappear altogether.

    What’s wrong with an acetate? You gonna tell the likes of Butch,Ady or Andy Dyson etc they can’t play an avetate?

    It is Crying Time, I think it is titled incorrectly on the Cd and I just didn’t think to correct it.

    45 is one of Levine's boots

    Is that not an Lp track though?

    I quite easily left those selections out. I only had 60 choices and many wee made by friends. I could probably have done another 60 quite easily. In fact if we can come up with 60 more I will do part two. Thank you.

    This topic is the first I've heard of the Royal Imperials being the Servicemen. It has never been mentioned in any conversation with Larry Banks. I will ask for clarification though. Maybe Andy is getting confused with the 5 Royales track the Servicemen cut (“Right Around The Corner”) that never came out until the CD Hadley released? The Wind Hit tracks were recorded at Audio Recorders of Arizona in Phoenix, can't tell you where they were pressed, probably somewhere local. The Pathway release had at least three presses, Cartoon, reversed and correct way for the labels and the orange release (which was also booted). My Turn was recorded October 1967 so either a late 67 or early 68 press. Wind Hit was early 1967, their second release after the Chartmaker 45 which was the year before (April '66) and recorded the at the Bob Ross Studios, Lelandway and Vine, Los Angeles, California.

    If you read their story you’d know, all in there.

    I think anyone with ears can tell they are different groups. Whoever thought they were the same must have ears painted on.

    The Servicemen photo came via myself from Larry Banks, one of the Servicemen. Larry gave me the names. What does it have to do with Roy & The Dewdrops?

    Released towards the end of 2018 two previously unreleased master tape finds are selling fast and with several prominent DJs getting behind it, there is little doubt it will be a dance floor winner. Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

    More information about "Impulse - You Changed Me/What’s That Sound - Kandi"
    Impulse “You Changed Me/What’s That Sound” Kandi Two previously unissued tracks released as a vanity project in the fall of 2018. “You Changed Me” is an excellent modern soul dancer already being championed by Dj’s in the know, while “What’s That Sound” is a more funk influenced outing. Copies available at £12.00 each plus £3.00 postage (1strecorded, UK) overseas at cost. (Sorry only one copy per person). To reserve PM or E-mail: david.welding@blueyonder.co.uk The Groups History: Impulse were (and still are) a group of Milwaukee, Wisconsin musicians who during 1976 migrated to Oakland California where they hooked up with a fellow Brewtown producer and recording artist, one Harvey Scales. Scales himself in 1976, through his earlier local hit “Glamour Girl” (recorded for the local Sauk City, Cuca Label) and a string of recordings for Lenny Lacour’s Magic Touch label. Of which “Get Down” had bought him both National and International attention through it being picked up Atlantic Records was at the height of his powers, following the success of Johnny Taylors Columbia Records platinum hit “Disco Lady” a song Scales co-wrote. Under the auspice of Scales, Impulse began recording a self titled debut album project for a proposed release on the Casablanca label. This release for whatever reason never materialised and it is from the surviving master tapes that the above two tracks have been taken. The Casablanca setback although disappointing would not be the end of The Impulse story, the groups lead singer /songwriter John Gee had begun performing secular music in the late 60’s with another local Milwaukee outfit , The Chef’s and had sung lead on their 1974 Funk outing “Mr Machine” on their own Pro-Gress label. John credited as a solo artist recorded (in Milwaukee) the 1980 release “Not Enough Love Makin’/You Are That Man (Why Don’t You Be That Man)” which gained a release on the Oakland C.A Pashlo label. Followed by the 1985 modern soul dance favourite “So Good To Me/Just Get On” recorded under the artist name of Jon Pierre Gee for his own Kandi Inc label, as 45, 12” and cd project, returning in 2005 with the Ah’vant Soul concept cd album project. Throughout all these projects Jon has used and enjoyed performing with the original members of Impulse, Michael Reese (Rhodes Piano and Background vocals), Cedrick Rupert (Lead and Rhythm Guitar), Jeffrey Williamson (Drums and background vocals) and Robin Gregory (Bass and background vocals. These guys are still performing today (2019) with the exception of drummer, Jeffrey Williamson who passed away during 2015, his replacement being Coley Jackson. Words By David Welding.

    Pressed in with vinyl and styrene if memory serves. The one above is real un.

    I find it laughable mate when records like this get slagged off. Ok it might not be as black or soulful as some southern soul artist, but we aren’t talking chill out rooms here. It is a full on dancer, the type of record the niter scene has thrived on and the thpe of record it is crying out for now.
  22. Chalky
    The only people dissing a record like this don’t do all-nighters. Its a fantastic dance track! Records like this is what the scene is all about.
  23. Chalky
    Keb Darge spin I think. There is a Deep City compilation from Numero.

    Lyrically the snake is brilliant, great dance record too, same for Frank. But it wouldn’t bother me if I never heard them again. I don’t hate either but just sick of the exposure they have had.
  25. Chalky
    It probably would have done if one or two hadn’t said something. The first page alone was turning into that. The trouble is these topics simply turn into ones personal opinion and not “the scenes most hated”. I doubt The Snake or Frank Wilson are hated by the vast majority, just a few on here shouting the loudest. People might be sick of hearing them but seriously, hated? I can understand the likes of Bob Sinclair getting mentioned, they are nothing to do with the scene really but some of those mentioned as the most hated are just laughable. I don’t think I hate any record that much I would consider starting a topic over it.
