It's here at last! All copies ordered out in the post today For those not yet ordered it, you can do so here https://www.soul-intention.co.uk/release.htm Phil

I'm pleased to announce that it's now here at last! SI005 - Otis Williams - Take Me Back / I Got To Have You You can buy it here - https://www.soul-intention.co.uk/release.htm This has got to be one of the best 70's double-siders ever! The owner and prodiucer Kent Washburn has this to say ........... "I am so pleased to see that these two masters finally get to the public. It finally confirms my belief way back in the early 70's, of the serious validity of: (1) the songs, (2)the musicians and (3) the technical staff. These tracks are seriously good, and why they never got released is a mystery to me at this point. I even chatted with Otis (Williams) recently, and he can't even remember why he was in St Louis to start with, or what prompted us to even cut the tracks either However, he does confirm that it is him, and yes, he does remember the songs and recording them, but he can't remember how the whole thing got hooked up to start with, and neither can I!! Never-the-less, Here are the people that helped create these two excellent sides.... Both Sides were Produced by Michael L Smith (now known as Michael Lovesmith, or just Lovesmith) along with Kent Washburn. Steve Litman, (the engineer that recorded and mixed all of their collaborations) was the Engineer. The musicians were the "A" team at that time in St Louis. This "CMC Rhythm Section" consisted of: Bass: Tom Zuzenak or Paul Jackson ( can't really remember which one played Otis' session, but I would think it was Tom Zuzenak from listening to it.) ... Drums: Michael Grimes, and Guitar: Phil Westmoreland ,(both were part of the group, Marcus Kelly and Westmoreland Co.), Keyboard: Michael L Smith. I used them on Everything I did, along with a keyboardist that was not on the Otis session, named: William "Billy B" Bickelhaupt. Some of the Horn Players were Tyrone Perry and David Hines, Myself, and some others whose names escape me (please forgive...smile). Strings were the local Symphony Strings. And, almost 40 years later, Hello from St Louis, et, al.... You now get to finally hear it!!!"

I hate talc on dancefloors. It's a total menace. It (together with little foil and paper squares down the bogs) nearly shut down Bradford Queens Hall when I was running it on a couple of occasions. And it was the deciding factor for the management at Leeds Astoria to stop us doing any more niters there. Even though I stayed cleaning the floor for two hours after one niter, we could never get it cleaned to their satisfaction. As once they'd noticed the problem they saw talc everywhere, and that was that. Phil

Two different ABC pressings, one just the same as HOTB and uses, I believe, the same stampers. Stampers wear out so they must have had them re-done, so must have sold quite a few copies Phil

Is J D Bryant still available? Cheers Phil

Surely the legitimate release of such sounds is better than, and in no way the same as, the bootlegging which was so rife in the 70's and still to an extent goes on today? Phil

He's obviously been out in Yorkshire Malc Phil
