    I have bitten my lip with regard to commenting on said half price sale, but personally, have been very disappointed overall !Having after several weeks being refunded from a discogs sale, I rang with regards to a site sale after several more weeks regarding another item I'd noticed had been re-advertised, hence was re-assured it was to be posted forthwith.....Alas received a refund within days to my disappointment......Annoyed.....You Bet!

    We used to do the Locarno, via the Yate all-nighter and stop off at home in Newport ( for a couple of hours,) then get the train up to Birmingham on several occasions in 1978. I only remember one room being open, but recall one occasion when a Jazz-Funk set was played by one of the Dj's (can't remember who) and there was a protest by the "Northern Soul" attendees who sat down on the dancefloor.....

    What an absolutely superb night, spent in the finest company whilst wonderfully entertained from start to finish with a sublime array of quality tuneage from every DJ on the roster! To summarise in one word The Ukranian club experience..........AWESOME !

    Running out of Likes, I'm afraid, but after a few barren months, am thrilled to say, that I am so looking forward to the" Mighty Ukranian Club" once again where the Musical Ethos, and "Fantastically Loyal Attendees", make this night much more than ordinary.....Can't Wait !

    Always admired Mr. Dobsons output over the years, including the 100 club, and Lifeline, as two examples, the guy still keeps coming up with exceptional unknowns, as experienced at The superb Ukranian Club in Ashton under Lyme in greater Manchester, back in May of this year.....Whilst the output numberswise diminishes in content.....The Man is still on top of his game....!

    Great Track.....Irrespective

    I must say, the thread in totality is awe inspiring, and one I selfishly don't want to end....superb knowledge, and very much appreciated

    Whilst on topic of Detroit recording studios, I was going through several (orange) Volt records at home today, and came across Pac 3 studios and a 1972 release by Hot Sauce-Bring it on home (and give it to me), (a nice crossover tune) which threw me once again as it wasn't a Don Davis Groovesville production as a lot of the said Volt 45's were, and whilst I appreciate that several of his productions were probably Detroit/Memphis hybrids, so therefore was wondering what the link was with this particular release and Pac 3 .......?

    That is what you call Knowledge.....!

    As a former Fanzine collector, Daves' were up there with the best, and his sense of humour was infectious! Knowing that I lived with my Grandparents whilst I was serving my apprenticeship, he used to send each issue in an A4 brown envelope, adorned in cuttings of current pin-up models.....He was a stand-up comedian before he sadly lost his battle with illness. Such a great character , and another taken too soon!

    Please PM only, if you have a Decent condition copy of the above 45 for sale,stating condition and cost....Thanks

    Whilst slightly adrift of the topic title, could anyone kindly give any information with regard to my previous Don Davis question please???
  21. Wilxy
    I'd be very interested to learn more about the Don Davis material and moreover which of his tracks were recorded where, and furthermore the 1969 Stax project (Boy meets Girl), as this again is a topic that intrigues me, particularly from a collecting perspective. I was under the impression that the Stax/Volt material under the Groovesville "repertoire" was for example recorded at United Sound, but would like any information to either confirm this or otherwise? Similarly those Stax/Volt releases also recorded at Terra Shirma?
  22. Wilxy
    Interesting article Roburt, it totally enhances the mystery attached to the unknown output from Golden World, and furthermore the probabilities that other labels particularly from the Detroit area suffered similar fate during the same era. With regard to your last paragraph, I suppose the knowlege of stated circumstances, relating to the actual recordings that didn't make the cut are lost forever......unless of course?

    Total respect for Rod Dearlove, whom again I haven't heard about for a number of years, and must add that his knowlege and insight with regard the "upfront" music at the time was second to none IMHO, the magazine Voices from the shadows was also a superb example of up to the minute Soulful Journalism, and when he ran the Canal Tavern in Thorne, I was lucky enough to have been in attendance.....Great Times.....

    Many accurate responses to last nights Ashton Ukranian Club, and moreover witnessed by quite a few travelling attendees, who once again were part of a tremendous evening of music nicely summarised in a conversation between Ste Smith and Tim Ashibende, last night....."Right Venue, Right Music, Right People".....Totally sums it up for me, and makes it well worth the effort in getting there as often as possible.....
