Hi Brad well done mate ..top man ... let us all know if we can help in anyway

What did they say ...Did'nt think levine worked with them ?

Well Levine as done 10 ..so this in my Fav the old saying.. save the best till last ... I wonder if Ian will do anymore ?

what do you think about the Detroit records .. Beverly & Duane, Sherman, Jimmy McCloud ..are they really Rare ?

Ian claims to have five records not listed in any guide. He starts this podcast with all five of these, before he then goes on to play Irma Routen. He says that these five are not in Manship's and not in Tim Brown's price guides. The Products, The Panics, Cilka And The Second Generation, Bobby Richardson, and Toni Mathis. Does anyone know any of these ?? Are they as unknown as Ian thinks ?? ... got to admit he really does do it this time ! Levine is BACK !

Spot on ..!

I also done a video for him in Detroit The Valadiers " No Competition "

Don't seem like 5 years whenI done a fabulous Interview with Percy and Alfred ..with a bit of Filming to some Tracks ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf-wO2qDTfs

I have the same Photo which Alfred Mitchell gave me on the night Percy passed away along with some other pubilcty photos and some newspaper clippings on the group .. Anyone got The Doni Track for sale ?

Been talking to Ian about this .... "My You-Tube page is managed by my publishers now - not me personally. They wanted a Levine Top 40 of videos. There is no video of James Wells doing either "Baby I'm Still The Same Man" or "My Claim To Fame". If you notice, the only top 40 entries are song where there is an ACTUAL video of the artists. As for the crappy effects, I hated them as much myself. Which is why we eventually redid them ALL, and put them out as a box set of 200 videos all redone and improved and fixed up. "Northern Soul's 200 Greatest Floorfillers" Most of the stock sadly got destroyed when the London riots burned down Sony's warehouse in Enfield, but I think a few survive.

You got to put Fab and the lovetones " Fire Alarm " in that list Dave

JJ told me Stevie wrote it at Motown and gave it him when Motown got rid off him .. and too do what ever he wants with it ..maybe thats why jj credits are on it ? ... will give him a call and ask him more info on it .. . Either way it's a great track .

I was planning and in talks to do a Detroit soul weekender there for 2015 with various artirts's to perform .. be good to help Detroit out if we can .

I've been in talks a few times with Carlton about coming back over to perform .. sadley nothing happens . hope he is keeping well was informed he was not in very good health recently will try and give him a call soon .

RIP Mary Love godbless you for the wonderful music .

Boy oh boy ..thats was tuff ..but agree ... bridges ,knight and eaton? and Solid Hitbound .. plus others from The Motorcity

Detroit wins every time for me ...But Dave is right when he says about recorded and mastered out of the Motorcity ... last time when I was with Stuart Avig he infomed me that he went to chicago when he recorded Angelina Oh Angelina .. I also played him Jock Mitchell ..No Mad Woman to his surprise didn't know the track which has the same backing as King for A day ..50 yrs later first time he ever heard it .

RIP MARVIN JUNIOR ... Thank you thank you for the your wonderful soulful voice .
