Dave has comped the Lp that features Mill Evans. I compiled an Lp with Andy Rix and we were given the list of records they had the rights to licence with no interference, so presume Levanna will be the same. The one we did never came out in the end.

most definitely, I'd forgotten about this topic so it was good you posted it here

The Paramounts on Mercury "Girl with big black boots"

think he may mean the 1972 Jet release????

Welcome to another Soul Inspiration, well I hope it inspires you somewhat A mix of some old and some new, some recent things to drop through the letter box, some that haven’t been released yet and the rest are basically what I played in the afternoon session at the Summer weekender in Piercebridge. Thanks to the independents once more, Soul Direction, Soul Junction, North Broad Street, Epsilon Records, Izipho Soul, Hit & Run, Kent Records, Super Disco Edits & last but not least Soul 4 Real records.

Nearly, here’s what Kevin Coombe posted elsewhere Kevin Coombe posted this information about Rock Candy elsewhere. I asked and received permission from Kevin to post here, many thanks Kevin. Rock Candy. Over the years I’ve read numerous posts relative to the recording of their 45, and I’ve even witnessed a few stylized (but ultimately fictional) anecdotes attempting to explain how The Contemplations were connected. Half a decade before I stumbled upon the pictured promo-shot, I used to pine and wonder — will the real Rock Candy ever stand up? Well, they ultimately did, or at least their legacy came to light. Now I’d like to share with you the basics so we can all combat misinformation together. Let’s begin. Having risen from the ashes of The Crescents in 1967, The Contemplations — who consisted of four vocalists — began making a name for themselves DC’s NE quadrant. Armed with newfound confidence, their de-facto leader, Matthew Allen, pitched an original composition to his neighbor — musician, producer, writer, and label owner Joe Tate. Excited about its potential, the industry veteran agreed to a recording session in NW, DC, followed by a release on his closely held imprint, Dontee’. “Alone With No Love” was born. Unfortunately, Matthew Allen’s commitment to a rigorous college schedule forced him to exit the group come ‘71, and they briefly stalled — until Joe made a suggestion. One of Tate’s other vocal groups, a three man outfit who called themselves Rock Candy, were struggling in the studio. He ordered that the remaining three Contemplations briefly replace Rock Candy’s two backing vocalists, giving their lead Tyrone Anderson what he needed to finish a Tate original. All parties agreed, and “I Don’t Think I’ll Ever Love Another” was complete. Tate then pitched the use of “Alone With No Love” as the subsequent single’s flip since most of the Contemplations were involved with both projects. Allen gave his blessing, and the single was pressed. That being said, the former Contemplations did not stick with Tyrone, instead opting to form a new group — The Natural Fact, until they went their separate ways. The promo shot pictured here features the group after the return of the former backers.

Rock Candy and Ace spectrum I wouldn’t class as Modern

There is no end price on the Facebook group and the page is no longer on the website?

Last time I saw them was in Camden I think, Kents 25th anniversary? they weren't too bad all told.

The only time I remember hearing it is when The Flirtations sang it live...maybe at some oldies night too somewhere but never at a niter

Plenty of records of a similar ilk and tempo at Wigan, it was an oldie by the mid 80s and cheap one at that.
