Here you go from 2012, it was Al Abrams who asked me to write the article and the source for much of the information within https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-articles/its-about-time-bobby-brooks-wilson-r2608/

There is an article on here somewhere I wrote about Bobby long before he was as well known as he is now

There is a lot more in the can and better than what we have heard apparently. On Dean Anderson's show for which Jordan sat in whilst Dean was away, Jordan played an unissued Tommy Rodgers, he of Pass The Word, which IMO was better than the Tomangoes. Take a listen to this weeks show to hear it.

As promised, Jordan has just shared the next two releases from MD records

Proof or what of what? Just a typo?

Take a listen to Jordan presenting the Sound of Soul last night to hear both sides of the Tomangoes, James Lately and a great unreleased Tommy Rodgers which is slated for a future release, plus some of the recent MD releases.

With Dean away on some jolly Jordan Wilson takes over the hot seat to present this weeks Sound of Soul ™ . Great selection of Soul and some peeks at forthcoming and future MD releases.

I would say that is the case, there is no way they were made for the UK scene. If the R does denote an RCA press then it was an early 70s press in the US.

The R could denote the RCA pressing plant at Rockway then, GM being the master, engineer or something else altogether? Rockway closed in 1973. Can anyone post a scan of the runout details?

another earlier topic as well.... Can someone confirm that the GM in the run out is followed by an R?

This could be the topic?

Available to order now, give @Louise a shout. A big buzz around this release with Europeans showing a huge interest in this 45. Don't sleep on this one. The 45 has been receiving extensive radio play and featuring on several soul charts already from airplay alone.

News from MD.... WE'RE GETTING CLOSER! We have recieved notification from our pressing plant that the stock for the next two releases will be arriving very soon! So, tomorrow (Friday 26th) we have decided to release the much-anticipated sound-files for Detroit's own; The Tomangoes and James Lately. These historic finds form part of the MD | Pioneer collaboration. Discovered on the original session tapes from the vaults of Pioneer Studio and fully restored, mixed and mastered for the best fidelity for modern sound systems! STAY TUNED... Sound files coming tomorrow!

I know someone who was picking copies up off the floor at the convention, it was used to support "The Marvin Gaye Classics Collection. Chris was working for Motown at the time compiling CDs of stuff from the vaults although if I remember he did get into a spot of bother with them. The copy Chris put out for his 40th states the same collection CD as its source. Until the recent 7s Box sets Richard Searling put out, the CDs were the only commercial release.

Is there an "R" after the GM? Discogs has it has GM R

That's what it finished at

I would imagine they were pressed pretty close to each other? Maybe a mispress with wrong composer credit then a repress to correct it? Does anyone have the matrix details for the Bernie Moore credited press?

The Motown one was only a year maybe two before Kingy's which was 1996 if memory serves. The Motown one was to promote The Master box set wasn't it in 1994?

Another great article Ken, very interesting

I wonder if the GM is for GM Recording Studio? https://www.discogs.com/label/285841-GM-Studios

Another terrible sad loss. R.I.P.

The Jesse Greer credited copy according to discogs, the run out matrix is…. Matrix / Runout (A side): SSI 1003-5 SON ℗ S-508 Matrix / Runout (B side): SSI 1003-6 SON S-509 ℗ Yonge/Cooper

This weeks show with special guest John Durant

Such a sad lass and as said a committed scene guy, there was a time I saw him every week. R.I.P. Ricky
