Well if it needs loads of guilt to like Ten miles high then I must be a lost cause, I like TMH and a load more of a similar ilk. No wonder I'm a wreck. Thankfully I've never sunk to the level of Construction
I know The Mark IV is one of Soul Sams favourite spins, I'm pretty sure it could get turntable action in either room next Saturday
An original copy was found not long ago in one of our main dealers Canadian stores whilst having a stock check, mixed in with The Jacksons, Tavares etc
A nice bonus for somebody.
Yes maybe you're right. I suppose if he hadn't informed us of "The unique oohing choir hovering over the insistent piano, guitar racing percussion delivered a captivating dance pulse. soon the panic whiplash effects had the Wigan crowd hooked". If he hadn't mentioned that then Construction might not have reached over £1000. Then again the bidders could have listened to the soundfile.
I wonder why John goes into great detail explaining what the record sounds like, a sax break here, a female backing there and then has a sound file to listen to the actual record.
I'm no expert either when it comes to unreleased Motown but I always associate this with Peter Lourie and all those tracks he played on Richards show after returning from the US with a load of tapes.
I have a feeling he had the White labels pressed, he also did The Andantes That's a funny way.
My memory's not like it was so I could be miles out.
It'll be great to see Sam back fidgeting with the control knobs. This one has been packing dance floors for years for him, probably even at the SAINTS Baz.
Jesse James "Love is alright" I first heard him play it at Cleethorpes, instant dancefloor mayhem.
I believe a couple more acetates turned up later both alt takes.
He used to kick off his sets with Glady's Knight "It's too late (for you and me)
It was like a call out to get ready for a 60 minute rare soul masterclass.
Was he the first to play it, I'm not sure.?
I know, I can't help it, I'm like a cracked record. I'm surprised I can still remember stuff.
Did I tell you you about the night Brenda, see I'm at it again.
Lots of my favourites already mentioned Sam Dees, Alice Clark, Freddie Butler. Lamont Dozier, Sandra Wright.
Dennis Taylor "Enough is enough" packed with modern soul classics.
Yes mate, and great memories.
Did I ever tell you about the night Brenda dropped in at our house for ice cream and a glass of coke on her way to perform at Fleetwood
