  1. No doubt all the talk on here will do wonders for the final auction price ...
  2. Anyone have any info on the group ? Were they US guys living in the UK ? Or a local Biddu studio concoction with sessioners ? Did the record get a US release ?
  3. Like most people, I love The Case of Tyme's "Manifesto" but have always liked even more the flip-side "Some Call It Love" a brilliant up tempo tune just begging for plays .
  4. So, is the Tony Fox "Let Love and Be Loved" alleged 45 also a myth ?
  5. Yep, shame on me Sean my mind was wandering ... am particularly interested to know if "All My Lovin" off the LP appeared in 7" form .
  6. Need a precise listing please of sides released on 7" ( both US AND UK ) off his classic 70's LP on ABC.
  7. Can anyone enlighten us as to whether Frankie Beverley is actually aware of the huge interest on the northern soul scene in his sixties soul sides and, if so, has any promoter attempted to secure his services to perform a gig concentrating on that sixties material (noting of course that with Maze he remains a "contemporary" artist)???
  8. Uh oh ... here we go again ... https://cgi.ebay.com/...=item439d1504e2 Seller says it's an original however the arranger's name is clearly shown underneath the artist's name. Interesting though that the seller supports his assertion that it is an original by making specific reference to the deadwax markings , something which none of the previous threads on Soul Source to my knowledge have ever mentioned.
  9. Must say I'm a little gobsmacked that when I posted the two names JR Bailey and Donny Hathaway at the beginning of this thread I thought almost everybody on Soul Source would know which "Love Love Love' was in question ... (not Bobby's Hebb's completely different song/record !!! ) Oh well ....
  10. Yeah you're right Jocko, it's such an awful record that one could quite easily think that a real live wombat actually was responsible for the record ...
  11. Any of you lot in the UK know what a wombat looks like ? We have 'em crawling all over the city streets here Down Under, they look like this: https://www.bing.com/...ombat&FORM=IGRE#
  12. Which version do you prefer ? JR Bailey or Donny Hathaway ?
  13. Is it true that Pete Smith has over the years had more than 120 perfectly nice clean copies of the Carstairs on Red Coach but deliberately smashed every one of them into tiny little pieces ... ?
  14. Anyone rate this modern soul LP from the one time Raelette on a label - Enja - that is better known for pure jazz releases ???
  15. There is an episode of the popular early 70's US TV drama Police Story where Rufus Thomas features in his favoured "hot pants" outfit of that era doing a whole number in a club !!!! Episode was about a young black kid on drugs ....
  16. Tony, Mary Love's track from the film was in fact recorded and included on the Dolemite LP soundtrack, a fact omitted from virtually every Mary Love discography I have seen.
  17. Hopefully the Stax experts ( Rob Bowman perhaps ? ) can come on here and advise us of the true position, but I always surmised that those Stax LPs from the late 7Ts and early 8Ts on Randy Brown, the Staples and the Emotions (of previously unreleased material) were in fact finished tracks from the mid seventies which were ... let's say ... "surgically enhanced" with modern production devices to make them sound "of their time", not re-recorded or newly recorded rhythm tracks.
  18. Should also mention that Syl Johnson appeared in Melbourne 8 months ago and he brought down the house down - and he's such an accommodating guy that he could easily be persuaded to do his 6Ts northern stuff if a UK promoter were to ask him nicely .... somebody really ought to bring him out ....
  19. The Reverend Al Green has still got it at 63 years of age - we lucky people here Down Under in Oz just last Saturday night witnessed him headlining a free (yes FREE !) open air concert in the heart of Sydney's business district in front of 100,000 (yes 100,000 !) people with his own 14 piece US band !!!! And as a fabulous unexpected surprise he also performed his Detroit recorded 6T's hit "Back Up Train" and his northern fave the stompin' "Dont Leave Me" .
  20. To even mention the words "soul" and "Jimmy Barnes" in the same sentence is an absolute insult and offence to the the great tradition of soul music. Jimmy Barnes is an appalling performing artist - if one can even call him that - and an embarassment to both Australian music and music in general.
  21. https://www.youtube.c...h?v=bkMXnk16kiE If Elton's "Philadelphia Freedom" were a rare record and the artist named as The Sons of Robin Stone or The Soul Survivors, then it would have been a northern monster for sure ... As you can see the kids on Soul Train loved it ...
  22. You really should get out more Ian .... as a matter of fact, all this talk of Cissy Houston reminds me of the rather nifty version of "Just Walk In My Shoes" that Cissy's Sweet Inspirations recorded on one of their Atlantic LPs ...
  23. "SONNY KNIGHT QUARTETTE- Let's get it on/pt 2 AURA USA DEMO EX+ (Sublime mod jazz version of Marvin's track) 20" The Sonny Knight record has absolutely nothing to do with Marvin Gaye's classic hit record which was issued almost 10 years after Sonny's !!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. Paul, do me a favour and stick a Frank Wilson on Soul in your avatar, maybe I'll get lucky here in Sydney town ....
