  1. 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?
  2. That little driveway was between the BSR Building (at that time used by the federal gov, revenue, taxes, etc) and Condors. Concrete floor. Club owner Larry Pressley,
  3. “My Girl,” the single that gave the Temptations their first No. 1 hit while enduring as a showpiece of the 20th century music canon, is about to turn 60. The West Grand Boulevard institution, housed in Motown’s original headquarters, is releasing a new vinyl edition of “My Girl” — a glistening, ear-opening version prepared from the original studio multitrack tapes and pressed at Jack White’s Third Man record plant 2 miles south in Midtown Detroit.

  4. depends. As long as it's not passed-off as anything but AI+ generated then i see no harm. None of the tracks in the vid above appeal to me. However i do get the thought that Colin Day is sincere and skilled.

  6. Northern Connections #38 Aqua Lads re-visited, taking in the Chantells & Twighlights The most recent issue of this long running informative series courtesy of Ken b aka @Kenb Intro sparked by the Soul Source topic “What goes up must come down” of Nov 2024… …about The Charms Unlimited and Soul Inc and very good it was too, got me thinking about a re-visit of The Aqua Lads, Chantells, etc. It’s worth pointing out at this juncture that some written information about those that follow is published, (but skip Discogs) go straight to E. Mark Windle’s Interview & book “It’s Better To Cry”. It has a worthy section, and I recommend it. Albeit I’ve never found Mark’s reference “and a later band member Ken Hatley (bass guitar, 1967) “ when searching for band members. Also, as of writing and due to serious illness, Mark Bicknell’s release on Big Man Records of Aqua Lads backed with Twighlights with notes by Mark Windle hasn’t yet to hit the shops. That all said, I've tried where possible to bring new information and pictures without compromising their work.

  7. Hi Mark, Is that outside 300 E. Moorhead St ? or had it been re-developed at the time of the photo?
  8. I'd go with that...on the Charms 45 credits, Gil Few came from The Spurrlows (joined in 1965) and Frank Graham went onto The Columbians, formed in 1967 ( & music scholarship at Benedict College). Which may of-course just mean they did what they did on the 45 i.e. Arrangement...and as you say it was just a later name change.
  9. i doubt it, non of the band member names of the Paris 'outfit' coincide with any of the credits on the Mira 'outfit'
  10. It's a good question, and one i'd pondered several times wrt The live album versus the single. Soul Inc members had come via iterations of the Medallions, Pieces of Eight, etc. to form as Soul Inc in about Sept 1966. "Good To The Last Drop/What Goes Up Must Come Down" was being touted as a release in Autum 1967 and a major West Coast label were interested in the band. The Cellar in Charlotte, NC (where the Emblem label had the live performance recorded) opened in April 1965. Artists that played there included The Tams, Major Lance, and Barbara Lewis to name a few. In April 1968 Soul Inc at The Cellar ( this relates to the LP) was also being touted as released. So, on Discographies we have, Soul Inc, S-100 / S-101, as 1967. Recorded Live at The Cellar Soul Inc, LP 106 live at The Cellar, as 1968 The Charms, E109, as 1969 I think it's safe to assume that Soul Inc, were only live at The Cellar once where a recording was made. I doubt anyone would set up a mobile recording facility for a single (S-100) and then again for a LP (106) sometime later. In which case the Single & LP release dates may be wrong. Could the Single have been released from the LP? But how, it can't have been released in 1967 if the Live recorded album hadn't been recorded until 1968? It's not to say he (Joe) didn't have one, but I don't know of any mobile recording facility at Joe Huffman's Mark V studio in Greenville. So i suspect S 100 was likely something that he produced but wasn't recording at his Studio.
  11. Hi, and welcome, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately i no longer have a Floridian source. What i can tell you ( but you probably already know) is Magic Circle was placed 2nd behind The Soul Tenders, at the Battle of The Bands at The National Guard Armory April 1967. Which band member from Wildwood & Leesburg was your Father-In-Law? P.S. put your 'want request' into the relevant forum on here. Someone might have one for sale.
  12. i'd forgot i ordered this...arrived today. Not everyone's cuppa but i love it. https://thelatintones.bandcamp.com/album/lies-lies-ill-never-forget-her
  13. cheers Jim, i had discounted 'your' Bobby King and the Bobby king on Federal...just based on not being able to make a match, BUT you may well be correct. P.S. i can see where JM's thoughts around Rudy Love come from. "This song is for you", Calla/CBS album. Track "Come Back Home" a Tony Matthews/Rudy Love composition with a Sax solo by Tank Jernigan.
  14. Always wondered who Bobby King was. Or have I been sleeping?
  15. Kool & The Gang had 4 previous names that i know of...but none were the Appointments.
