  1. It sounds unfinished to me the 'Has" version
  2. Subjective I guess? Many don't like a harmonica in records. I don't particularly but I do prefer the take with it in, gives a bit more oomph.
  3. A real copy or an actual acetate? What label was the acetate? It is on Youtube now
  4. Black Wings Have.... Black Wings Has....
  5. There are two issues Black Wing HAS and Black Wings HAVE
  6. one I got yesterday
  7. Was having a catch up with an old mate the other day and the conversation turned to noises or discrepancies on recordings that shouldn't be there. He mentioned two, The Caressors "I can't Stay Away" and what sounds like a motor bike kicking ups and shooting off towards the end of the recording, definitely something there. Also mentioned was Little Charles & The Vee Jays on De Carl, the creaking of a door opening. The dog barking on the bootleg of Candi Staton was also mentioned. There must be loads of examples of this type of cock up that snook into a recording.
  8. Well done and thanks for the hard work that goes into making Soul Source what it is
  9. There are a handful of the acetates, maybe 8 or 9 that Tim got I think in the early 90s, maybe 91?
  10. This weeks show 28th July. No guest just two hours of great music.
  11. I got this before it came out anywhere, got it played at Lifeline etc by Andy and Calvin Lee Hughes. Magic record.
  12. Great record. I gave it a bit of a kick/revival some years ago on the nighter circuit after it had been ignored for years.
  13. I tend to disagree, many records are of a specific genre first and foremost, Jazz, Soul, R&B, County & Western and pop of course and it is simply sales that make them popular. It doesn’t necessarily make a successful country record “pop”, it is still a country and western record.
  14. Sorry mate, was trying to remember whilst writing, “British writers of pop music” is what I should have quoted.
  15. There is no doubt, Billy can do soul just like Jackie can do pop as both have shown in their careers. Who would have done the better version of the songs you mention? Guess we’ll never know for sure. Lyrically, Haunted House and It Only Happens (lightweight it might be) are miles away from RLSD. Red Light quite cheesy in parts lyrically but it is a great pop record. I guess it is ultimately the delivery that decides what the are and of course by whom, the example of Michael Ball bing a very good example. Whilst the writers of IOHWILAY were described as British and pop by @Tobytykeit does do them a bit of a disservice as the fact is they were heavily involved in 70s soul in the UK with their writing for various soul acts and quite rightly recognised as such. the market a record is aimed at and the success a record achieves also play a part. RLSD was clearly aimed at the pop market and as we know hugely successful. That alone makes it the very opposite of what records we look for. The scene has always been elitist and pop records or should I say successful pop records were left to the normal clubbers, we were above all that preferring rarity and exclusivity.
  16. Connor Cagle? Its not very good is it. I didn’t really like it the odd time Nick played it. Once took it to a nighter for Nick for Sam to listen to with the premise of Sam buying it, needless to say he didn’t buy it although I think it was the only known copy then and it was a but dearer.
  17. Its a great 45, Aretha’s take too.
  18. Every days a school day, thanks for the info
  19. Can you compare the two? It Only Happens for me is out and out soul music, production, lyrics and delivery. The other is simply pop for me.
  20. If you follow the links on discogs, the Enterplan link takes you to the one you talk about owned by the Abraham’s. I can’t see where they get the Philly address from.
  21. Maybe it was an attempt by the Abraham’s to branch out into other cities. It would appear it is the only release and of course the address could well be wrong and it is out of Chicago?
  22. According to discogs, which I know isn’t always right, it is a Philly recording. Enterplan Parent Label: El Saturn Records Contact Info: Morton Street, Philadelphia PA
  23. It was all those in normal clubs we went to niters to get away from for us. I guess it did have other meanings for other groups and was something adopted by soulies?
  24. Might have gone for you but it was still a vibrant magical scene for many others. Tons of great records discovered after ten demise of your scene.
