  1. The various vinyl releases of Ain't Nothing But A House Party all note the songwriters as Del Sharh and Joe Thomas but just came across this piece of sheet music which notes Joe Thomas and Carl Fisher as the songwriters ... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180732998090?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
  2. No, definitely no Aussie release for "Push..."
  3. So, where does that leave people outside the UK and on the other side of the world who like to keep abreast of what is happening on the scene ?
  4. .... And unless these white label 12's actually exist and are legitimately licensed and were issued first, then the first and only legitimate vinyl release is the Soul Togetherness 2012 LP isn't it ?
  5. Lorraine, you have amazed, and continue to amaze, many generations of soul music fans with your grace and incredible talent.
  6. No , they were doing what most acts do : listening to what their managers, producers and record labels were telling them was best to make a hit record. And it worked. Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and James Brown spent much of their careers singing old standards.
  7. Very sad, Bobby really played such a major part in some of the greatest songs in popular music. Interesting that the NBC report on his passing https://www.nbcphilad...-223104461.html mentions that he was "currently working on releasing a series of unheard Philadelphia Soul songs". Anyone know anything more about this ?
  8. Here you go, from the Detroit 9000 movie , Laura Lee comes in at around 3 mins 50 secs. Anyone recognise any of the boys in the backing band ? Some Detroit soul legends perhaps ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQv732_IWrc
  9. And one cannot over estimate how important soul source is to rare soul enthusiasts outside of the UK.
  10. Weren't all the Soul Supply releases legally licensed ?
  11. Can anyone assist? Thanks
  12. There was a thread on here some years ago regarding whether any film or video footage existed of the Northern scene prior to the This Is England documentary from' 77. Someone posted and said that apparently there is some footage of the original Wheel. Anyone have any information on that ?
  13. Dallas , have you won a few million in the lottery lately ?
  14. Can I have some of what you're on ?
  15. The Apollas "Mr Creator" on an Argentinian 7" with Picture Sleeve ... and plays at 33 RPM !!! https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php?itemnr=190642034356
  16. PM'd you
  17. Is Ed Wingate still alive ?
  18. Was the mix of "All Over The World in the youtube video at the top of this thread the one on the 7" 45 release on Nightmare (and which entered the UK charts at the time)?
  19. What a shame she is no longer with us to be able to enjoy a little more recognition for her talent.
  20. Wanted clean copy of Florence Trapp original . Will pay up to 750 UK GBP (depending on condition). Thanks.
  21. I was only making the point that covers are a staple part of the music industry. As for songs being made into a big hit chart hits on more than one occasion by different artists ... off the top of my head ... in the soul context ... here's a few : Grapevine - Gladys Knight / Marvin Gaye / Creedence Clearwater Respect - Otis / Aretha My Girl - Temptations / Otis Never Can Say Goodbye - Jacksons / Isaac Hayes / Communards (!) and so on and so on ... just the Motown songbook alone has produced numerous multiple hit covers.
