Soul Shrews

Nope its just the Froggy issue Roger.................you can see some of the "daft" pic sleeve through the centre Oh I see what you mean..................er doh.................yeah I reckon that "French" pressing without the anti slip is dodgy Cheers Paul

edit Cheers Paul

Tht popsike ones the Frenchie Roger. Full version with the "drunken" intro as the LP The Belgian release misses the "drunken" intro but apart from that is the same length as LP. Didn't come out til "78 tho (Snow Records) Cheers Paul

They're all the same UK/US /LP /Dutch.........................and all brilliant !!! Cheers Paul

Only 1000 ?...................................Ya lightweight !!!! Cheers Paul .......................lovin' that Dee Dee Bridge LP mate.............. nice one

I've heard that horn riff on another record...............maybe they "borrowed" it from that............................... or vice versa Cheers Paul

Remember chatting with the owner of "Downstairs Records" in NYC who told me Elton John played piano on Eddie Holmans "This Wil Be A Night To Remember" at Sigma Sound. He knew this because he happened to be in the studio at the time. Cheers Paul

Fantastic Lp "H20 Gate Blues" ............"Your Daddy Loves You"..."Peace Go With You Brother" etc etc Cheers Paul

I think there was a Stata East 45 and bought one as a new release from Record Corner. Believe it was later bootlegged tho. The 45 was an edit of the LP track missing some of the intro and fading out French and Belgian 45s were later I believe (78?) but the Belgian one is the full version (less the "drunken" intro).............both have "daft" picture sleeves Cheers Paul

What happened to "Sooty & Sweeps" merry xmas then Mark ? Cheeze Paul

Waxwells the best...........ask for "under the counter" 45s:shades: Cheers Paul

Oh and "Cant Stop The Rain" on Dutch 45 backed with "Rode By.........":yes: Cheers Paul

And "I Cant Stop The Rain"........................another good dancer:yes: Cheers Paul

Think "You"ve Got The Love To Make Me Over" might be the one you mean Steve Cheers Paul

Brilliant post Alan:good:.........................we can all live in hope:yes:........yah never know......................... Cheers Paul

Hi soulfulfella, and thanks for ressurecting my thread !!! Is that the same "Hold On To it" record as Barry Smith ? Sorry cant remember the label right now or if Mr D had owt to do with it:unsure: Cheers Paul

Same group according to "Soul Harmony Singles" book Andrew The Phil LA of Soul release dates from 1969 whereas the 20th Century release is from "68 A Soul Bowl "front pager" for a couple of quid (on 20th Cent) back in the day, would think its rarer on Uptight but don't know for sure.........nice tune Cheers Paul

1966 according to "Soul Harmony Singles" Cheers Paul

Flipsides called "Go On".............remember Richard Searling playing it @ Newcastle dayer 79/80 after being requested for 'My World....." and introducing it as a much more soulful record. Its also on the flip of the "soul galore" boot Me I love both sides....................but then I"m easily pleased Cheers Paul

I would say you got a bargain with Brenda Lee Eager, seen it on sale for 30/40 quid a few times.................mind you I'd say its a snip at 30/40 cos its such a fantastic record. Cheers Paul

Hope it is an interview with the great man Mrs Maine...........................he stayed in the hotel that Mrs Shrews works a couple of years ago when he toured with "a" Funk Brothers band. He was really up for talking about the ole days and didn't mind Mrs Shrews grilling him about pied piper productions etc at all. Do you know if we can listen outside Uk ? Cheers Paul

Are all the promo copies of this a bit low (sound recording wise) ? Not underplayed in the shrews living room by the bysey Cheers Paul

Mark, my copy of the Billy Butler 45 spells Lose with 2 O's as in "loose" how chinstrokingly interesting is that Fantastic record if you ask me and a snip at 6 quid. One of those records that will give you a lifetimes listening pleasure for less than a pack of smokes Cheers Paul

Hi sunnysoul, I"ve got the "83 Dutch 45 too, have you noticed how the song title is spelt on the sleeve and label? "Let No Man Put Us Under" Not sure if there was a US 45 release, Mr Dewhirst is sure to know I would have thought Cheers Paul
