  1. 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.
  2. i doubt it, non of the band member names of the Paris 'outfit' coincide with any of the credits on the Mira 'outfit'
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Always wondered who Bobby King was. Or have I been sleeping?
  8. Kool & The Gang had 4 previous names that i know of...but none were the Appointments.
  9. Could it be… The Johnson Brothers, “All of my life ( I dreamed of a castle)”

  11. The most recent issue of this long running informative series courtesy of Ken b aka @Kenb Northern Connections #37 Zodiac international – Jack Gillen, artists, writers, publishers, labels The private press Aquarious 1 album feels like it was maybe inspired shortly after the 1969 Woodstock festival, Bethel, NY. The Aquarian exposition. It takes on a similar astrological theme. However short-lived, the driving force behind Zodiac International, Jack Gillen, must have always felt a strong entrepenurial desire and also a knack for trying to make money. Music producer, label owner, custom record service, ‘Elvis sound alike’ crooner, astrologer and insurance agent, to name a few...

  12. Thanks Mal
  13. bit of help please. Costa Del Sol, etc. when you buy a 10 Euro Renfe pass via the website / app, does it download a QR code? then...at the station(s) is there a QR reader? TIA ken
  14. they wouldn't have returned ( nor do i think they ever 'cut' anything in Detroit/Motown). Too busy with P.I. , Shubert Theater, Sigma and The Great Philadelphia Trading Co Ltd (conglomerate)

  16. always thought it interesting that Flip Dip & Henry Moore labels had two different addresses for Duplex Black Record Dist . L.A & Georgia.
  17. Don't get me wrong Robb, this and other of your posts are great...but wasn't it Larry Lick who owned Sound Inc. Johnny Powers was born in 1938, Larry Lick born in 1941. As far as i'm concerned they were not the same man.
  18. I do think Gary Rubin needs a mention here. The 20 year old who started Pioneer. Sussman was a 21yr old V.P. Two labels Pioneer (Rock n Roll) and Empire (R &B) , New Loves.
  19. Phil, your opinion is as valid as anyone's...but i must figure as the 10% who like to hear 'as you say' rare, unearthed , niche. It's never stopped me dancing...(even if the floor cleared). It gives me time to dance, and everyone else to carry on gabbing (ooh did i say that outloud)
  20. Major Bill Smith saw vinyl shoratges as a blessing, because it 'culled out' a lot of amateurs. And i do wonder how many ( if at all) of my 45's have blended vinyl that's a fraction of the pure 100% because suppliers cut back.
  21. have we done this already? great a-sides or b-sides...but the flip is awful! what's the worse-
  22. yes...happy birthday. have fun
  23. i think Mal it couldn't have been played before 2000 could it? Wasn't it the pre-The Seeds version but only put on vinyl later than Casino, Mecca, etc etc. Of course i could be talking Bol**cks!
  24. Holy Grail seems to be popular again
