Wasn’t it a Spiral Staircase (not the group) that lead to the balcony, seem to recall in the middle of it.

My yellow issue has the “tc” in the runout of the IDTIELA side, the “t” having an inverted “hat” (v) underneath and also 103-A scratched in large letters. It also has “DW” stamped in runout of AWNL side as well as 101-A2, “ALONE WITH NO LOVE”, 2/18/71 followed by a four letter scribble and 45rpm etched in. Boot or not?

“Mamas got a bag of her own” came out on different label designs, one with the dog, other without. Apart from the obvious what is the difference between the two as they both have the same record number. Info appreciated thanks. Regards

Also on Rock Machine I Love You compilation album in the UK

“What is Soul”? “Songs Of Universal Love” is my understanding

Surely the Fabs, Stones, Animals and an whole array of 60’s beat bands brought a lot of soul music to the “youth of the day” attention in the early days.

Recall em dancing in this manner to The Exciters “Reachin For The Best” at Wigan

F ing rare that one, opt for the Soul Galore one, but that’s still hard to get. Fantastic record though.

Shades Of Soul - Every Issue By theothertosspot, May 14, 2015 In All About the SOUL

Love this one by Eddy and Co Had this without realising they went on to become The Real Thing.

Some good info here on Eddy https://www.alwynwturner.com/glitter/amoo.html RIP and God Bless

Four Tracks on Mandingo

Not sure if this as been asked before, but was looking through records for Jay Lyle on Angel City (How Good Can It Get), and realised that it has the same credits, etc, as Art Wheeler on Cee Jam (That's How Much I Love You). And on listening to both, to my tone deaf ears, they sound very similar. Could it be that they are both one and the same person? Any thoughts/opinions Regards Bob

Incorrect info

Seem to recall reading in an issue of Shades of Soul that Tim Brown (quote from himself in an article therein) that he supplied Sam with the first copy. Shall look through to find which issue (sure it was after issue 11).
