    Yes- i was just heading over to your original post to pose the same. United Record Distributors (or variants) isn't i don't believe the same as United Distributors that @The Yank posted.

    I think this is correct Robb. I can't find a 'partnership' with Billy. Jump was at 5257 La Salle St really early 50's thru to 1967 with a variety of companies including La Salle Recording Co, R & B Attractions & Orchestra Services (booking agent). Those same companies plus Heno moved to 8959 Oglesby Ave. Both addresses and companies are tied in with Jump and Oscar Jackson-only.

    Merrill Pub is in fact Merrill Finch, the father of John Finch and the husband of Mrs Johnnie Finch. Satch records was at their family home in West Chesterfield @ 9147 S. Michigan Ave. The Specials were 'The Specials of Chicago'.

    Cheers. In that case maybe Willie Simmons and Cornelius Charles were also.

    which Jan Jones is this? is it the 'Independent Woman' Jan Jones? Is it the 'Ascot label' January Jones? or someone other Jan Jones? ( man or woman)

    I stood in front of this building for a whole 5 minutes yesterday( quite a long time when you're just stood). Not because i wanted a bet - but because i had a Nostalgia rush. In 1971/2 i bought my B&S's from here. I didn't take the photo, it's off Gmaps (2019), but it still looks the same. There will be plenty of other Soul Source members who also bought their records and B&S here.

    How fantastic is this... i can own the legit vinyl of a classic + an unearthed track for £12. Thanks to Jason, Alan and whoever else was involved.

    a bit more... Cash Box & Copyright Catalog Hi-Mar was Harold E. Kern's (a.k.a Hi Evans). He was The Lancers manager. Hi-Mar was at Manheim P.A. ( around 1963), and Muncy P.A. (around 1968)

    @Dmc without checking...i'm pretty sure you are correct. and it would make sense. my geography wondered! Many thanks for the correction. kenb

    Folks may have on-ramped at different time points and even have jumped on and off the line, and yes, some stayed on it all the way. Each will also possibly have a different year/time for their own ‘high’s (mountain of expectation) and low’s (plateau)’,but almost all northern soulies would be able to place themselves on this line at some time or other. Sixty years ago or last month. The point is...’the death knell’ has been sounded many times, but people always kick-on and find their own 'water line' by which to enjoy the music, the scene's history, their venue, collecting, at so on. P.S. I obviously spent too much time in I.T. reading Gartner reports

    More information about "Northern Soul Connections #23 - Soulsations and then some"
    Soulsations ... and then some Soul Exotics, Emporers, Twila and the Twighlights, The Soulsations, and (no The) Soulsations. Preview/Intro Ronald J. Miller (Woody Miller) was a Soul Exotics male vocalist. His writing credit together with Bobby Fulton's appears on "Baby It's True" on the Terri Records label 5001. Both sides were produced by Phil Gaber. Amongst other things Phil Gaber was the producer on "Karate" Mala 543 for the Emporer's, then a vocal quartet backed by four instrumentalists. One of the members of the Emporers being Robert Jefferson Fulton (topper Soulville Records). The flip to "Baby It's True" is "Darlin"' which has the writer credit of Wm. A. Coney, Jr. - who is Bill Coney (band member, guitar) in Twila Howard and The Twilights (It is Twila Howard's vocal that leads on "Here Comes The Pain"). The male vocalists with Twila were Ronald Miller and Larry McKenion (Emporers writer credit of Soul '69 "Bring Out Yourself" on Futura label 1505. Soul '69 was the pseudonym for Larry McKenion, Money Smith & Terry Lawson). The other three band members with Twila were Larry Myers (bass guitar), who also shows up on the 2007 release Funkadelphia Records 1505, Emporers Soul 69 -Bring It Out Yourself, Wendell Wise (drummer) and Robert (Bob)...

    @Primo Steve Long was 'known' ( perhaps not wholly) as an Elvis sound alike. Often billed as The Superman of Song. Richee Records is almost 100% Dick (Richard) Brundo, a councilman, civic "dude", etc, for Culver City. I think Mr Brundo heard Steve at a show and that's how the record came about on that label.

    Tuesday 18th Aug pics. Trout have been getting stressed at most venues because of the heat (water temps). But i thought i'd give it a try today. No luck, although they were very close to the margins just basking in the sun.

    having now read this (and BTW hats off to Jonas for a superb account) i think perhaps @FingerpoppinSoul should maybe reconsider his Soul Source handle-unless of course it is intentional

    I'd be glad to see less 'at the pub events' advertised, so maybe some fine tuning is no bad thing.
