Terrible tragic news. Popular lad who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My sympathies and condolences to his family and friends. R.I.P. Phil.
Hi mate,
The POTA has been around years, Kenny Burrell used to play it covered up, he was disappointed when he played it for me and I told him what it was
The vocal is terrible but then again so is the instrumental
I mailed them asking why and they said it was done in error and the copyright removed and any strikes against my account removed.
I asked thm what their criteria was for but waiting for a reply. It would appear they simp,y cross reference titles with amazon as I had the same, Hook Line and Sinker (title of the podcast) can or may be bough on amazon.
I put one of my podcasts in a folder, shared it, worked fine. After a few minutes mediafire copyrighted the file and denied permission for anyone to listen.
Signed up for free, if I can share individual files will be an answer to migrating Stafford Story from web to a blog with downloads? Website bit expensive now.
In answer to the question probably a bit of both but the amount of knowledge that is just a question away on the internet is phenomenal. There is really no reason whatsoever for either getting ripped off or paying over the odds, well not too much anyway. Those that do pay a premium price, some that I know do have knowledge so can only assume they are too lazy to look around and have too much money.
The last couple few I've seen have all been around the price I mentioned above. It has never really turned up apart from the first batch back in early 2000's. 5k for an unplayed copy is pretty good these days when you compare recent prices with the last few all around $6k mark.
The last one on ebay was ove $4000. One on JM auction was nearer £3000 but I guess when people want these kinda records they must miss recent sales prices
Looking at the list again and the only one that was a newie in the 90's would be the Poets, Yarmouth first time heard it I think, around that time, 90/91. The rest had as far as I can tell been around some time come the 90's.
All of those tracks were what we considered oldies by the 90's, especially the late 90's as suggested. Not one was a 90's discovery, all appear to be late Wigan/Stafford era plays.
Ivor, the Metros/Joe Buckman is the same track according to the notes but Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler for some reason saw fit to release it as by Joe Buckman. Listening it is clearly a group effort. Maybe the tapes were not labelled correctly? Maybe Lorraine can shed some light as to the reasons if she reads this.
I'm glad someone takes notice of what I write Hopefully Ady will
Seriously though superb compilation.
I too am also looking forward to the next instalment from Doré. Some great material surfacing through Ace/Kent.
Following on from the hugely popular Pied Piper "A New Concept In Detroit Soul" we have the second compilation to feature the highly talented recording team and it certainly lives up to its predecessor. Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full
