Post your report here Kev, would make fascinating reading I am sure. I for one would like to read it.

When did you first start playing this Dave. I think it is a fantastic record and hearing stuff like this keeps the enthusiasm burning.

Nice work Zane. Will take a look later.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant at The Band in the Wall last night. The place was packed and HOT, damn hot. Great to see so many youngsters enjoying themselves to some quality soul music.

Reading Tim Brown's book it was Russ and Ian Fishwick to begin with. Kev joining within a month and Richard within two months.

I wish I could afford/get a scanner that will do a whole page of Black Echoes and I'd scan all I could and document it week by week Anyway good to see these few topics bring back some happy memories for some of you.

Dave Thorley has the only copy known. It is uncredited if memory serves me correctly, Bell Sound Acetate.

Roller skating must be coming back into fashion in this country as they had roller skating at the Radcliffe Civic Centre yesterday morning not sure they were rolling to JJ Barnes?

I knew I knew that one. It's already planned for the next podcast Cheers.

I've sorted the cover up names for the list, I will update the list sometime today or tomorrow. Might jog some memories hopefully.

Unknown "As True As Can Be" This was covered up as the Seven Souls. Have just found it on a live recording and trying to remember what it is. Will upload somewhere this weekend if struggling.

No Kirsty, Pat can't remember without listening and as I have no soundfiles not sure I ever will unless someone who hasn't read this reads at a later date and it jogs their memory. I will keep plugging away at it though.

It's hard to put a price on it as it has rarely come up for sale and so few copies about. If Nev would tell us what he offered to get the auction taken off then you'd have a good idea of a starting price Ted also got one, off the same seller I think he said? As Nev said though a starting price of £3k at least. Demand is rising now that it is finally getting the recognition it deserves at nighters.

I used to find the charges and prices on Gemm were a bit too much. Discogs is fine but wait for the invoice before paying.

Has definitely interesting. The Little Ann singing "What Shall I Do" is amazing as is some of the Shrine stuff. Mind I will have to check the Shrine, that might be actually acapella.

There's a whole bunch of these supposedly acapella tracks on the Internet and as you say Mike they are the artists in the studio laying down their vocals. On many you can just hear the backing track they are listening/singing along to. It wasn't long, 64?, that Motown laid the vocals down after the backing was done so the vocalist were never in the studio at the same time as the musicians.
