    So...is (was) this not the Ebony Rhythm Band aka Ebony Rhythm Funk Band from Indianapolis then? There were definately lost recordings. They were the house band at Lamp.

    I think on this occasion Russ, better to over-report than not at all. If it were one taken it would still feel like shit.

    i guess anyone can list a record on ebay, discogs etc, and not even own it? Put a ridiculous price on it that wouldn't attract a buyer's interest, so would never have to produce it for sale. To my knowledge, there is no authentication of ownership. Maybe it's a 15 minute of fame thing.

    yes...it's come a long way since my first visit when it was at The Masonic in Dukinfield. Brian and the 2 x Chris's ( although only one Chris currently) have done a wonderful job.

    we've got a toughie today. my team Celtic (Stalybridge) play United (F.C. U of Manchester). A loss for us, could see us drop into relegation zone. Our form is a bit patchy,tense times.

    @David Meikle I've read a few times ( discogs and your excellent GW post on soulful detroit) that Stephanye was Gene's daughter. My understanding was that Gene's daughter was Pennye (Penny Ford later) AND it was Cleveland Horne's daughter who was Stephanye.

    thanks Sebastian. yes, i know mike's teen mayhem work, and agree with you about his provenance. and did visit 45cat before i originally posted. It's just that IMO there is something not quite correct (or explicable). It may be something in either the (New) Seven Dwarfs/7Dwarfs/Ambassodors line-up's, etc. (is it possible it was recorded/cut B4 '68 but not released until '68...who knows) Anyhow...i'm happy it's '68.

    as some may know, i'm more about dancing (even at my age), not much of a chatterer either...my left knee is shot, but i can't just come to listen to the wonderful music alone, so i'll be there this Saturday to put my best foot forward...my right. I think I'm gonna have to have knee surgery action like Ronnie, maybe.

    I'm guessing you've seen the 45cat entry -https://www.45cat.com/record/1168

    I'm not convinced about 1968. If you take it that Rick Reardon was in The Ambassodors and the Seven Dwarfs (New Severn Dwarfs), then it's unlikely he was in both bands at the same time. Rick was with the Ambassodors when they released Pork Chops in 1965 AND it was noted then that The Ambassodors were successors to the New Seven Dwarfs. I get the fact that only one possible Ambassodor i.e. Rick was in the previous New Severn Dwarfs, but would he have been re-incarnated in 1968 under the 7 Dwarfs?

    I thought Grayson and Jordan “ brought” their “thing” to the explanation of N.S. well… Jordon on first hearing The Gambrells and Grayson from his brush with the music from the past. The people who don’t get Northern Soul are typically the people who have nothing to “ bring”. The “bring” part can be deep like Richards 450 odd nighters or less so with Grayson’s obvious joy of dancing till the sweat ran off him.. I just didn’t care for the footage of the Casino, in this context P.S. Posting on mobile without my specs! Sorry if grammar is awful.”

    @David Meikle " I’ve got another address for Palmer up near the golf course. It is also good to see Handleman mentioned". Hi David, is that (other address) the Lyndon Ave address that Palmer shared with John Kaplan or vice versa.

    from the evening sentinel. It was the start, even though the all nighter started later in '72.

    Yeah but I was good Chalky

    my other passion was playing football. Saturday's and Sunday's and anytime i could during the week. as such i never 'did a full nighter stint'. Sunday morning kick off's...and sometimes a game in the afternoon ( if called upon by another team who was short). I do vividly remember playing on one Sunday morning after a Saturday injury with what should have been a very painful ankle, and not feeling a thing...obviously the “medicine” worked

    John Pavlik (Powers) had a 5 year tenure at Motown (which i believe he regarded as not so good).He also mastered for such labels as Capital,Roulette, Warner Brothers, Philly Groove, Epic, Ariola America, and many other labels. Power's entrepreneurial skills resulted in the publishing companies begun by him. Powerhouse Music and Jet-Eye Music, Inc. With Jet-Eye, Powers played a pivotal role in revitalizing the career of his friend George Clinton by licensing Clinton's music to various labels around the world. In 1973 he also owned Discount Tape Shack. I'm prretty sure ( but happy to be corrected) that he was influential at Sound Incorporated and Sidra/Drew Records, the Detroit-area studios and record companies he co-owned in the 1960s and '70s. R.I.P.

    @Tommy1 I can tell you a bit about the Shuffle with Ali 45. Jim Riley visited Ali at his hotel suite after the fight with Ernie Terrell in 1967...and took with him the pressing of "Shuffle with Ali". Tucker is Jimmy Tucker. Ali made no money (his religion didn't/doesn't allow it) so it went into the collection plate. So not only was it a fist fight, it was a song writer fight too, with Terrell's "A Hammer & a Nail" (with the Heavyweights).

    More information about "Northern Soul Connections #31 - Colstar label, FIRE, VIP's, Magicians"
    Northern Soul Connections #31 - Welcome to the latest in this now very long running series of soul connected connections from Ken B aka @Kenb Northern Soul Connections #31 Colstar label, FIRE, VIP's, Magicians A San Francisco Pop Festival that never happened, an associated album of that festival that didn't have the artists perform who were credited on it, and a Kiwi mod behind it. Upfront. I'm genuinely fond of the people and company's written about in this piece. Non of what is written is intended to demean or embarrass any of them. It's just an interesting set of connections. For me, It all started when i came across an Oct 1967 photo of the VIP's and then a February 1967 Californian newspaper article noting their release on Colstar of 'Freedom /I'm Good ForYou'. Umm ...I've seen this waxed pairing before. Where? Yes. I'd seen it on a Discogs album titled 'San Francisco International Pop Festival (Volume 1)' and also followed the thread started in 2015 at 45cat.com, as catalogue 45-1006, artist FIRE, The Sound Of San Francisco.
