Been some fantastic releases so far this year, the Freedom Affair is brilliant, the whole Lp.
-
Unfortunately there is no UK source for the book from what I can see and it is expensive for less than 200 pages. The kindle version looks more appealing at £11

During various moves and a divorce I seem to have lost a few anniversary badges. I've managed to gain a few but can anyone help me fill the gaps please. I am after the following anniversary badges 1,2,3,4,7 & 8

Saus still has it too

Rick James, Rare Earth..Top 100 Motown, really? Some great selections, some not so.

I think "Do What you Gotta Do" is the best soul record the Tops did but ask 100 people and you'll probably get 100 different answers, the same with the the top 100 Motown, count you would get two answers then same.

fabulous release, mine landed this week

We have to remember we are not the market for Rolling Stone. The 100 we would choose will be unknown to the majority of RS's readers. The same argument was had with Motown's 60th celebrations, that's why I did an alternative unreleased 60 at 60. As always subjective and very emotive.

Took me ages to work out what was different, no one else had ever mentioned the male backing. I play the missed one out now and then, the red label release, one of the great northern sides IMO.
-
the one Butch has, it has male backing....and the instrumental on the flip I think

Bloody hell the bad news just keeps coming. Terribly sad news. R.I.P. Stokesy

Will be an interesting read Kev

South of Leicester Kites are very common now, as common as buzzards.

Well he certainly didn’t know of a 45 and the first time he ever saw one was Andy Dyson’s at Prestatyn.
-
Here is a previous topic where Soul-Slider first suggests who Carol may be, a day later it is mentioned on soulful detroit, coincidence!

Don did have memory of Cheatin Kind ad he told us when we went for dinner he sent a tape down to Vanleer and that he never heard back. But you are right the industry, especially back then was full of unscrupulous people, companies and crooks. Knowing Popcorn, if he though some wrong was done he’d have gone after them? I would imagine Vocallion did a deal in good faith and Vault had the rights to license. Unless we see the contract it is all speculation.
-
I’ve said elsewhere on here that my belief is it is Carol Bayer Sager with a new partner. Given the numbering of Carol and Sherry and Carol and Gerri logic would suggest it is. I did email Carol a few years ago to ask but she didn’t respond, probably a time she doesn’t wish to reflect upon or she didn’t get the mail. I did send it through her site as well.

He did by the looks of it, Ala King is Popcorns publishing company and it is shown on the Vault release as well
-
Did Popcorn own the rights though?

fantastic shots Steve

I voted keep but only because I know it would never work in none room today, as much as I'd like it to
-
Definitely some who got into the groove they left and had the thirst for new stuff. Some moved on later to new stuff but I found the majority were just stuck in the retro trap. I hope that is the case mate but I feel for the majority this past year will be as it never existed and be right back where we left it
-
It started before then but yes the grand return accelerated it. Most of the returning are brought up on new discoveries, unless they only went for two weeks like many, yet upon their return all they wanted was familiarity. The majority didn't move on as you would expect to wanting something new.
