always thought 150 quid tops....

I've listened 4 times as of yet not to mention the 100's of times when I had the record and never once thought it her. The slower/faster I play it the more convinced I am it ain't her.

Doubt it very much IMHO. Be very surprised it it was.

Tis great record Fight For Your Girl. Used to be a tapper swappers fave at one time years ago. Someone did tell me who King William was or who they thought it was but right now I can't remember what they said

150ish, more for an issue one on Gemm at 300 odd dollars.

Thanks to good mate of mine Gilly had a chat with Hadley Murrell. He tells me he wasn't in the group, thats an urban myth. Along with the group front man James Mitchell he co-wrote the songs, produced the recordings and was onwer of Wind Hit. James Mitchell did all the vocal arrangements and Hadley helped the band, who were the LBJ's form San Francisco, with the musical arrangements. James and the other three members (still don't know who they are ) were all airmen from the Luke airforce base in Arizona and to the best of his knowledge they are all with the big record producer in the sky! He also says you have to go out and buy his cd "The Soul Side Of The Street" that contains a number of records he produced on The Servicemen, Eddie and Ernie and other artists. Hadley says also be on the look out for some unreleased Servicemen recordings being issued in the next few months or so.

it's all great listening Boba, very interesting to hear what they have to tell. Forgot all about the Sinceres going on to become Bloodstone! Many thanks.

Grunchions...little green and orange people the drugs must have been good in them days

Look forward to listening Boba. Just listening to the Conservatives interview now. Keep 'em coming, all good listening!!

You must have been taking it steady then Ady

twice uploaded and only second or so plays...happened other day with a track too, took 3 or 4 goes before it worked. If at first you don't succeed......

which one John Rowles?

Ahhh, it's all coming back seem to remember that now

Just guessing but I would say Elaine Hill is maybe her real name, the name she used on RSVP????? Not got the latest issue yet, just ordered it

it's was an unreleased alternate version, came out on Joeboy cd or summat like and on an anniversary single for some nighter. Is it Timmy Willis or the Precisions (alternate take)? Can vaguely remember a discussion about this when it first appeared.

My memory is just as bad Jock, I've just got the flyers here to remind me Same excuse as well...being out every weekend I didn't miss one but I can't remember what happened with the Tops, sure they had to change the date.....find it hard to believe two weekenders a month apart Did they turn up? Ian Levine....he was strutting about with Lorraine Silver on his arm if I remember rightly. We had to endure her do a PA to Lost Summer Love during the afternoon session....painful!!!

The first Motown one was Friday 20th, 21st & 23rd October 1990 (program in previous post) Flyer below.... The first Northern one at Yarmuff was 23rd, 24th & 25th March 1990 (flyer in previous post). The second Motown and Northern Soul Weekender was October 19th, 20th & 21st 1990 (always falling on my birthday, as if needed another excuse for a piss up ) The second Northern Weekender was 22nd 23rd and 24th March 1991 The third Motown Weekender I've two flyers, dates and acts changed me thinks... October 18th, 19th and 20th 1991 and 1st, 2nd and 3rd November 1991 (this time with the Four Tops).

Yarmouth the first I recall and attended and was initially billed as Motown Weekender. The first (proper) Northern Weekender held there was the following year, 1990. Program for the first weekender..... Flyer for the "first" Northern one.....

could try checking this guy out Dave??? https://www.myspace.com/dynovoice

Yeah she recorded on Amy - Go Away, sh*t if I remember rightly. Think I took one in trades years ago....soon moved it on. Can't help with Gary Knight I'm afraid. I did find reference to a cd, singles collection, of Tracey Dey...no referene to Laine Hill though.... TRACEY DEY - The Singles Collection The singles collection from Tracey Dey - and a few cuts with Gary Knight as Dey & Knight too! 23 tracks. Jerry (I'm Your Sherry) Once in A Blue Blue Moon Long Time No See Jealous Eyes Teenage Cleopatra Who's That (I Dreamed Smiled at Me) Teddy's the Boy I Love Here Comes the Boy Gonna Get Along Without You Now Go Away Hangin' On To My Baby Ska Doo Dee Vah I Won't Tell Anykind of love Blue Turns To Grey Didn't Ya Hanky Panky Shakin' the Blues Away Young Love - with Gary Knight as Dey & Knight I'm Gonna Love You Tomorrow - with Gary Knight as Dey & Knight Sayin Something - with Gary Knight as Dey & Knight Ooh Do La Do Lay - with Gary Knight as Dey & Knight Marchin Home - with Gary Knight as Dey & Knight

$40 from Craig Moerer.

Laine Hill also recorded as Elaine Hill on RSVP. Both Time Marches on and Isn't It Just A Shame written by Gary Knight who recorded with Tracey Dey as Dey and Knight.

Thats the general opinion of those I know have heard it.

The Chavis and Candi labels were owned by James Chavis and they are definately from Wilmington, Delaware. Both labels started life in the early 60's with Chavis existing into the 70's according to R&B indies. Both shared the same address 617 4th st. I'll post the Silus Phifer/Edwin Johnson & Mellow Fellows record shortly.

I've seen issues sold for around the £40 to £70 mark in recent times. It'll be more for a demo. JM books it at 100/125. The Precisions was one of the best vocal performances I've seen at a weekender. There was only three of them. Ritchie Pitts I think stood in for the fourth Precision who didn't make it.
