    While searching for a particular flyer - that I failed to locate - I stumbled across this; another '80's Notre Dame Hall promotion. When was this; '84?

    I enjoyed Friday night sessions at the Notre Dame Hall during the first half of 1983 - sadly it was raided during July (IIRC), and that was the end of that!

    The Brymers story sounds logical. Several US garage bands covered this tune (the Stones back catalogue being standard fayre), although i don't think i know of another female vocal version. I heard it at soul nights around London / Essex in the early 80's and have always prefered it to the Wayne Gibson version.

    SOUL BROS INC "PYRAMID" £100 APPROX 1990 . FOR YEARS I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO MUCH . THERE WERE ALWAYS COPIES AROUND AND THE GOING PRICE SEEMED TO REFLECT IT BEING A CURRENT 'NIGHTER SOUND . DON'T THINK THE PRICE EVER DROPPED MUCH AFTER THAT TIME .

    Ultimate Spinach "(Just like) Romeo & Juliet" (MGM)1969 This was a pop / psych band out of Boston , MA . Freaky organ led backing !

    The first Soul album that i bought was Mary Wells "Greatest Hits" . Picked it up from a second hand shop in Walthamstow during the summer of 1982 . I was already a fan of tracks such as "What's easy for two..." , but this collection introduced me to the wonderful "Honey boy" .

    Nice to see this tune getting some recognition . I have had it on a George Sharp tape since '87 , not sure if it was a popular spin anywhere at that time , certainly cannot recall hearing it out myself . Have scanned my copy in case anyone needs to put a picture to the sound lol

    Not really , it doesn't have the jazz or psych influences that the self titled Mr Flood's Party album has . Titus Oates has more in common with southern rock .

    Titus Oates released an album "Jungle Lady" on the Lips label (no , honestly) in 1974 . Appears to be all self penned material and no sign of "Compared to what" .

    This is certainly an odd track . They were a UK group , loosely fitting into the prog rock genre , but with a leaning towards a classical / Ennio Morricone sound . They had quite a prolific output through the '70's but nothing else that i have heard is of interest . Read somewhere that they performed a wild version of Cool Jerk on The Old Grey Whistle Test .

    A copy described as VG+ sold for $437 (£252) on ebay 02/01/06 .

    The Lownly Crowde "Shadows and reflections" (mgm) voc/inst UK mod / soul band The Action also cut a vocal version of this track for Parlophone in 1967 . Can't manage a wonderful scan of an mgm issue but here goes .

    Watched a Little Melvin and the Boleros on ebay last month . Copy was listed as Ex cond. and sold for $158.05 after gaining 10 bids . Surprised me as i recall all the major dealers selling it quite cheaply (£15/£20) in the early 90's . Classy tune .

    Have to agree , heard it down the 100 club at the weekend and it still sounds as good as it did in the late 80's !!!

    hi , Can't help you with the identity other than Temptones "That's when you know you're in love" c/u . I remember Butch playing it alongside his other fantastic c/u's at that time : Del Larks , Servicemen , Diane Lewis .

    Joe Bataan "Subway Joe" (Fania) This latin soul / boogaloo number revealed the danger of not giving up your seat to a lady on a crowded subway train : Listen little boy you sure look tough But i'm afraid i'm gonna have to call your bluff And then she smacked me on my head - kicked me on my knee Saying mr your dead if you mess with me ! This track , although obviously written with a great deal of humour , conjured up an image of the New York subway in what must have been lawless days (pre - Guardian Angels) in the late 60's / early 70's .

    I recall hearing a Jimmy Jones version years ago .

    Lp Vaneese Thomas "Vaneese" Geffen 1987 I have always thought this was a cracking "mainstream" '80's soul album . Does anyone know if it has ever recieved a cd release ?
  21. Alan J Graham
    Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns "Don't you just know it" was a popular sound in London during the early 80's . Late 50's New Orleans R&B . Kent released it as a 45 around '83 or '84 which shows how popular it was . It has been released on a Kent cd in the last month which documents the early days of the 6T'S Rhythm "N" Soul club .
