Yep Mick that was sort of where I got to with them. I can upload my entire catalog as my own listing but it won't appear in theirs, just on my Discogs homepage. Otherwise it is a partly manual upload, which I think I'm going to have to do. It's a major pain and costly, as I have to employ someone for this.

Really, I spent a week in conversation with them, the end result was that they said they couldn't. If anyone knows how to I would be very interested.

Last nites 'One Off', me doin' Leon's Talcom Powder & Soul Show up for listen again.........................2 hours of classics https://listen-again.gloucesterfm.com/index.php?cat=Talcum Powder Soul

I agree much prefered Gemm's search over Discogs. But Discogs inability to accept bulk upload of data in a single file means I'll never use them to sell. But Musicstack on the other hand, has all the benefits of Gemm, but with the added bonus of direct Paypal payments to the seller.

Here is the link to the last two shows of last month 23rd & 30th that Malayka did while I was in the states, fantastic listening https://listen-again.gloucesterfm.com/index.php?cat=Crossing The Tracks

Already spoken to many of these guys via emails and it still stumping everyone. Also had a fair few willing to take it off my hands, as they say it's of little use to me and right up their street !!!!!!!!! So sure, anyone who's got a copy of Love Company - Love tempo - SRO, it's yours

Such a great talent, sleep well ...........

As others have said, the man cut some great NOLA soul

Besides DJing he also turned his hand to record producing, occasionally singing and label owning Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

I agree David it is sad his passing has seen little reaction. especially as I know there are a fair few on this site that knew him. But anyway for those that didn't know him here is a little more................................. Lucky Cordell R.I.P, Chicago radio legend Sadly he lost his life due to a house fire that he and his daughter Pat of Pat & Pam singing fame, were rescued from last week. He had attempted to save his daughter in the fire, but sustained 70% burns in the process and lost his fight for life yesterday (Tuesday). Lucky was a legendary Chicago radio DJ who eventually went on to manage his beloved WVON station. He grew up along side a generation of great radio DJ's, Frankie Croker, Jimmy Bishop, Al Perkins as well as his friends E.Rodney Jones and Herb 'The Cool Gent' Kent in his home city. Besides DJing he also turned his hand to record producing, occasionally singing and label owning. The musical talent was passed down to his daughters Pat & Pam who recorded the pretty 'Hey love on Daydream Records. He was also very proud of getting the career of Heaven & Earth off the ground working very much behind the scenes on their first stuynning LP on GEC. He became good friends with many record collectors in the U.S. and across Europe.and was always ready to help track down that elusive 45 and the people behind them for many of us. I spent many a happy hour down in his basement full of 45, digging and chatting with him. He will be sadly missed by many ...............................

Don't know if I a have a favourite, they did way to much good stuff for that, but always loved this .................

I will, so far it has stumped some of the best funk collectors in the States and here, but will up date

OK a few have heard it and it has been suggested that it sound like Denis Coffey on guitar and Lyman Woodard on organ. Parts of it remind me of The US on Jaber records.

Help Needed, but only for the brave !!!!!!!! Found a white label test pressing on my latest trip to the States. It is a off the hook Pysch Funk two sider, can anyone help identify it, step into the dark side !!!!! This Video contains both sides of the test pressing ........................It is possible that it's from Detroit https://youtu.be/Bo41fFeiSQs ..

Any news on how his daughter Pat of Pat & Pam singing fame is doing, she was in the fire also. Sad this guy was a friend to many a record digger who went to Chicago. Had many a fun hour with him in his basement full of records, searching and chatting.
