Soul Shrews

Thanks Rod Cheers Paul PS I"ll give ya a fiver for yours then ? I mean if its not in vogue.....................you'll be well rid of

Could be way off the mark here, but isn't Terrible Tom a very rare one on stock copy ? And if thats the case 330 squids ain't that much in the scheme of things ? Cheers Paul

Love this and the fantastic deep soul flip too Cheers Paul

Andreas Think theres been a thread on here a couple of years ago so a search may be helpful to you All the original ones I've seen have a "distributed by Roulette records" sticker on the front of the sleeve Cheers Paul

Guess it'll be going back home stateside...........................to a certain DJ of a caucasion (spelling) persuasion.........................................I reckon Cheers Paul

So does the Dutch original issue Stuart. Its actually the US sleeve (the cloggy one anyway) cos it has the American address printed on the inner gatefold. No hat on the Dutch label or picture of Mr Brown either with or without moustache Have seen the picture of him on quite a few US 45s of his and his productions from the 70s Cheers Paul PS Great LP........................................... "Papa don't take no Mess" !!!

Have found this info in the "Soul Harmony Singles" book 'Bring It Home.......' was their 1st release on Volt in March '72 Lead singer was Rhonda Washington Think the white label must be a promo copy can"t believe its ever been bootlegged but ya never know My copy is the brown stock, unfortunatley with the labels flipped Great record I reckon and their other Volt releases are also worth checking out Cheers Paul

Love that bass in "Nija Walk" Cheers Paul

A lot are srereo/mono Dante cos the radio stations were broadcasting in mono at the time. Cheers Paul

A classic and I for one do like this sunnysoul It also got a new lease of life on the rare groove scene in London in the 80s. As for a possible northern classic I wouldn't have thought there"d be much chance today but at its time of release I reckon it may well have gone if some enterprising DJ had picked up on it. Cheers Paul

Or like Billy Paul sang "Theres three sides to every story..........theres the wrong.....theres the right.......and theres the truoooouth" Oops sorry off topic by miles..................... I'm off to feedback or wherever Cheers Paul

Check out "Events" mate Cheers Paul

Thanks for putting me right on that one David Cheers Paul

Sorry cambridge soul, but Richard Searling was playing this 1st covered as "Al Johnson"..............before he sold it to Sam. Great record tho ...........good call Cheers Paul

Yep its a great show maria, I listen every week. Classic soul all the way but he always plays something new to me everytime. Don't suppose you made it to his Rhythm Revue Dance @ Roselands club ??? Cheers Paul

Felix rocks ya fookun socks orf !!! Cheers Paul

Thanks de-to Cheers Paul

Aaah, thanks Benji Cheers Paul

Thanks Pete Still don't understand the "Togetherness" quote tho Cheers Paul

Sorry I'm totally lost here now ..................................... is it a "60s discovery" or an Ian Levine production ? And can we have a listen please Cheers Paul

Agree with your comments sunnysoul great LP, not a bad track on it if you ask me. Picked an excellant condition copy (original) stateside 3 years or so ago for about 7 bucks. So worth having a look around before splashing out. Cheers Paul

A very happy 2009 to Mike and the Moderators (good name for a band ? ) and all other Soul Source members Cheers Paul + Mandy

You're right Dave, LP only "The Spice Of Life" double LP. I've not seen the 45 on e-bay but I assume its the "free sample" picture sleeve which features snippets of several songs from the LP and a few anecdotes/recollections from Gamble and Huff about making the LP. It was released to promote the LP at the time and is a solid centre 45 playing at 33rpm. Mecury also relesed one of these 45s to promote Jerry Butlers "The Sagitarius Movement" LP Cheers Paul
