I see, as suspected, that I have no idea how to cut and paste a link that works, but the two I was trying to highlight were the superb Betty Swann Complete Atlantic recordings and the Way Out label collection just put out by Numero. Both essential CDs.

Well, they don't get much better than these two : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Atlantic-Recordings-Bettye-Swann https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eccentric-Soul-Way-Various-Artists

No, I'm pretty sure the "You tore my wall down " track has not been released anywhere before and there are eleven more unreleased tracks on the CD as well. Thanks for the Irma Thomas link but I did get that CD and although I love Irma, I must confess to being a bit disappointed by it as I thought a number of the songs were pretty ordinary.

I've just got - and am listening to - the great new CD put out on her by Rhino / Real Gone which includes all of her Atlantic recordings. She is, of course, one of the great soul singers and I highly recommend it to anyone who buys CDs. I am nothing to do with any "Northern scene", so don't really know what the likelihood is of it ever being "played out", but it seems to me that the previously unreleased "You tore my wall down" would sound fantastic on a dance floor.

Certainly the big hit, "How can I tell my mom and dad", was issued in late 1969, but I'm afraid The Jackie Wilson "Beautiful day" LP is even more recent.. that one came out in 1972...

Lovelites LP, definitely 1970. Excellent album though....

I have never heard anything to suggest that he did go to prison in the late seventies. The only thing I can think of that might even remotely hint that there could be something in this, is that the group didn't record anything in 1979 or 1980.

As a close friend of John's I brought Pete's comment above to his attention : His response : " I appreciate the kind comment. I'm still running my website, and adding new artist pages again now after a bit of a holiday. I hope to continue now but at a slightly slower rate than before due to other pressures." I don't think he has any plans to post directly to Soul Source. Cheers

This is my first post, so please forgive me if it is in the wrong place. Does anyone know which four people comprised the Four Mints on their "Gently down the stream" LP ? The album itself gives us no clues. The just released Capitol City Soul CD mentions Bobby Shank, Louis Dotley, James Spencer, Herschel Davis, James Brown and Ben Caldwell which would make them the Six Mints, of course. The All Music website has this to say : " Columbus, Ohio natives' Ben Caldwell, James Brown, Donald Russell and Jimmy Harmon were The Four Mints". So I'm none the wiser at the moment.
