I did read she is a sister in law or something like that, I only read it a day or two ago but can’t find where now There is a recording of Notts Palais on the tube with Sam playing it, 1978 if memory serves. It could have only been a brief spin as it remained relatively unknown. Still a pretty rare record and probably suffered because of that.

It’s Barry Despenza’s label or he is heavily involved, his music publishing etc

No

Guy’s Monsters ‘87

Yes it is Paulette Despenza

A late September catch up of some discs that have dropped on the mat the last few weeks and a preview of some that have yet to drop. House Brothers, I’ve been waiting all year for it and finally bagged the Disco Mix from AL Kent. Alan Kitcheners best 70s release yet, would have been a classic back in the day and still should become one its that good. Not much Northern but what we have is quality especially the Tomangoes. Three tracks from the album of the year from Kim Tibbs and The Science Of Completion Volume 1, every home should have one. Some Modern, some Dance, bit of Disco, some Northern, lots of S.O.U.L.

Still original, probably from same master so still a first issue.

7” black vinyl with picture sleeve is the first press

Delta number gives it as a 1966 press at Monarch between March and April.

Superb double sider, the flip just edging it for me.

It is something I've never thought about and something I cannot really choose between. As said both labels have their plusses and minuses. Motown was probably the soundtrack of most of our youth and probably the way into this wonderful scene.

All that creativity would have found an outlet somewhere. If anything the creativity at Motown was maybe somewhat stifled at Motown as it settled into the formula it found the most success with. You only have to look at the amount of moonlighting for other studios and labels by those involved at Motown and by those who left Motown because they were often overlooked.

I must have read wrong as I can’t find anything about any any biopic

Not 100% but think one is in the works now or on the cards

With Dean still on his jollies local lads Ady Crampton and Steve Johnson step into the breach to bring you this weeks Sound of Soul ™
