Don't rightly know Dan. It's on the LP This Is My Country.

Impressions for sure....

The TV rarely goes on here Brett, like you say too much music to listen too. Tonight various live Stafford sessions

Not heard a thing either and Lifeline is definately ON with special guests Ginger and Arthur Fenn.

Opinions are like arseholes....everyones got one but at the end of the day when it comes to prices only two opinions count the one of the buyer and the seller

Can't be that reliable as you have a copy, so obviously been pressed Sorry LP's not my strong point so can't really help.

Not really much use but the Chevelles also backed Betty Turner, same (backing) group not sure looking at my notes at least 2 singles on Orr, one released twice.... 1001 Cookie Scott-Your Love It Won Me Over/Funny Changes 1007 Cookie Scott-Your Love It Won Me Over/Funny Changes 1016 Cookie Scott-Misled/I Don't Care

Bobby Byrd only the step father tho'

Cheers mate

and his (ex) girlfriend

Don't forget Joss Stone

Agree with you there Billy....

An article Mike Markesich wrote and was posted on RSF sometime ago. Sure I've seen a photo of them too "Detroit Soul on Music Town" from Mike Markesich Well, first off, the Detroit Soul were from New Britain, Connecticut. And they were all high school kids! The group used some members of their high school marching band on the recording of "All Of My Life". That single was released around September 1967 and was a Top Ten record on the Hartford, CT radio scene. Here in the New Haven, CT area (which is right on the CT shoreline, it made it up to #31 on the weekly Top 60 radio chart. One of the members died in Vietnam...I don't think it was the lead singer, Sal Lenares- -he was in an earlier group called the Soobes, who might have recorded a track on the CT various artist Soul sound LP's on the Fling-O label. I have never seen the LP, so I can't say for certain. Anyway, getting back to the group, I used to work with a guy who went to school with the members of Detroit Soul, and he said they could pull off soul as well as chart hits of the day. Their second single, "Does Your Mind Go Wild" came out around May 1968, and was nowhere near as popular as "AOML". Sal was out of the group by that time, I think Bill Durso, lead guitarist is giving his all on lead vocal. I like this disc too, wish they could've employed a black female chorus to coo the title instead of some local white girls.

Need decent quality MP3's of these two if anyone can oblige Jimmy Church - Right On Time - Southern Artists Falcons - Love Look In Her Eyes - Big Wheel Cheers

would agree with your value Hippo, maybe touch more but like you have seen for more, anything between £70 and a ton.

I'm not certain but sure I've got Johnny Maestro on a Stafford live tape, Ady playing it. Will try and dig it out. Know it was a 100 Club monster around that time, maybe bit after Stafford had closed??? C'mon Ady put us out of our misery

BTW great record and bags of soul in it IMO But then again if soul was a must in a record then there wouldn't be a deal left to play on the scene

Henry Atkinson discovered/found it. Offered it Ginger who turned it down, Tim bought it. Mick H next then Ginger got a copy for himself. Butch, JTrouble and few others now. No doubt a few more yet

Can't recommend the Jesse Boone & Astros highly enough, great record. I've been spinning it awhile now. Charlie Rich another, I used to spin this late 80's early 90's after being put onto it by Paul Donnelly

Nope not at all....simply go to the forum, register, you are asked for an intro about yourself and then you are let loose

Few I'm looking forward to hearing if at all possible..... Spidells - Pushed Out Of The Picture Little Charles - It's A Heartache Lee Bates both of 'em.. Limelights - Don't Leave Me Baby M&M & The Peanuts - The Phillie.....great cheapie (just picked a nice clean copy up even cheaper ) Matt Brown - Sweet Thing and to finish off a real slowie...... Faye Crawford - What Have I Done Wrong

Dunno what was paid but it was for the third "known" copy at the time. Like most rare records you take your chances, especially with recent discoveries.

Little John, heard it on and off over the years but not with any regularity. Carl Fortnum plays it out these days. Trent Sisters heard the odd time but not for a good few years. Probably totally forgotten or even unknown to the magority these days.

I have this version somewhere on tape......think the wailing woman though is Johnny Maestro

quick surf of the net and found this....... Formed in 1962 by Winston Hewitt and brothers Sydney and Derrick Crooks, the Pioneers were one of Jamaica's finest harmony groups. Hewitt had been replaced by Glen Adams by the time the group began recording for Leslie Kong's Beverley label in 1965, and following a move to Caltone Records in 1967, the group was essentially down to just Sydney Crooks and a newly recruited Jackie Robinson. Crooks and Robinson, as the Pioneers, scored a big hit with "Long Shot" (produced by Joe Gibbs), a song about a famous Jamaican racehorse. Adding singer George Agard to become a trio again, the group returned to working with Kong, recording "Nana" as the Slickers before scoring big with "Samfi Man" and a sequel to their horse saga, "Long Shot (Kick De Bucket)," again as the Pioneers. The latter track became a huge hit in England, prompting the Pioneers to take up residence there in 1970. Changing their style to reflect a more direct pop approach, the Pioneers had their last big hit with a cover of Jimmy Cliff's "Let Your Yeah Be Yeah." The group never officially broke up and continued to perform occasional and sporadic live shows.
