he'll be missed. RIP

I assume a “naughty stick” means ‘someone might be missing out’ with regards to revenue? Or am I wrong ?

an update: The Fendermen were originally from Canada (Edmonton) but turned up in a variety of U.S. places, making them hard to track down. Anyhow, they added a girl singer Mary Keith and here they are at one of their gigs at Club Gi-Gi 8030 West Ogden, in july 1968.

This Acetate is almost certainly attributable to Frank Werber (started his road to fame as the Kingston Trio manager). He had a recording studio in the basement of Columbus Tower 916 Kearny, ( as well as a penthouse office on the 8th or 9th). His first waxing in 1965 was with We Five https://www.45cat.com/record/770. A very wealthy man, who had many businesses.

There are probably dozens of groups called the Mystics, and the same too for the Emotions, and I can’t tell you anything about either of the groups that cut disc’s on Marquette Records under those names. (n.b. neither do I know anything about Rick Baker) However, I thought I’d share the little I know about Marquette Records itself, out of Pacifica, California In his early 30’s, and for a short time, Marshall Johnson owned Marquette Records, Mark II, Songwriter, Inc. and an exotic clothing shop for entertainers called MJ of the Bay. Born in Memphis, Tennessee he also counted himself as musician, promoter, and owner of at least two properties in Fairmont, Pacifica (plus one which he rented under the name Frank Howard). You would be hard pressed to have missed him if you lived near Sunshine Drive because he drove a powder blue Rolls Royce. Unfortunately driving a Rolls brought its problems with the Police, and he had several run-in’s without being charged for anything. On the Emotions, Marquette 45, Melvin (Tank) Jernigen[sic] turns up as arranger, and we can find him on the likes of Ruby Sherry, Watts 103rd etc. past posts Soul source https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/235488-columbus-recorders-acetate-of-rick-baker-thats-called-love/ https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/352793-mystics-mystiques/

he was such a great player you would be forgiven for thinking he played in the final...but my memory (which is bad) has him as injured and not playing that final. Stretford End paddock supporter.

When the world and his dog are “manifesting“ everything ( whatever that is )… maybe the folks who released this did just that. (As An NS rendition)

He sometimes gets a lot of stick, but fair play on this

I always said I’d stop going out if I couldn’t fitness-wise dance anymore. Well that happened this year BUT I went out with a bang when Mark did his set at Ukrainian in the summer. On the Ukrainian…went most months for 7 years. Chris and the guys deserve praise indeed. Never had a bad night. Long may they continue.

I’m a bit late on this one… but happy xmas / NY to all, especially Mike and the team for another great year of Soul Sourcerer.

now you are getting the hang of this forum

It is.

people have been saying "the scene" can only last another ________ 'fill in the blanks' for years , since at least 1990. What "scene" is really left anyway?

On the “How old now” bit…Slight topic drift, but people i meet from time to time who strike up a Wigan conversation always say they we’re 15 yrs old and sneaked out of home through the toilet window.

Irrespective of the swaps & switches on Soul Inc and those listed on Discogs, the band members on WGUPMCD were Freddie Pugh, Eddie Zomerfield, Skip Davis, Edgar Smith, Robbie Robinson and Pete Toglio. does that help?
