    Lou Baretto contacted me nearly 3 years ago about this acetate asking what I thought he should do with it, to secure the best price. I suggested John Manship's site would probably be the best place and although he deliberated for some time I think he made the right choice. It's likely that had the GJ version not been released a couple of years ago the acetate may have made more as an 'exclusive' version, but as a collectors piece (in that it came from Lou himself) there's no doubting its proper.

    A few deep soul recommendations please

    Ha! in exactly the same state of mind as Kev, if you want to hear the very best 'Deep Soul' come to 'Diggin Deep' a 5 hour Soul Session at the Red Lion, Todwick, between Sheffield & Worksop on 10th September 7:00 - Midnight.

    Featuring yours truly, Kev Briscoe and John Manship playing out as we've never heard him before!

    Gonna be special.

    :thumbsup:

    Bobby Moore & Rhythm aces?

    No mate, not 100% sure at all Mike. The 'Searcing For My Baby' 45 was obviously recorded at Fame. After Chess signed the act an album was then recorded, also at Fame, and I understood the out takes, or extra tracks, were from that session. They were Alabama boys and sound like the same players to me, but I don't have the CD so, not having read the notes, wasn't aware that they recorded in Chicago at all. Seems odd, particularly after the success of SFMB and when Chess were sending artists such as Etta James and Irma Thomas to record in Muscle Shoals. But may well have been a year or so later and trying to recapture that 'sound' in Chicago didn't come to anything. 

    Cheers Mike for the info. See you in a few weeks!

    Yep, I was certainly the first (and will probably be the last) to play it :lol:.

    I picked up the LP for penny's several years ago as I had the UK Chess copy and didn't want to burn it up.

    Was shocked to find the unreleased bonus tracks on there, 'Can't Get Away' being particularly playable.

    I broke it first at 'Just Soul' under the guise of Chico Jenkins (the actual lead singer) and then at Soul Essence / Yarmouth weekender.

    It's still bubbling under and people should grab them while they can. The track is 100% Solid Soul gagging to be given lots of play.

    A Muscle Shoals masterpiece.

    Crossover Top 100

    in All About the SOUL

    Posted

    Fascinating thread.

    There are thousands of records that fit into the genre and which were recorded during the 'crossover of decades' period of 4-5 years.

    Certainly though there's a Top 100 (or more) of continuously trotted out same old, same olds that seem to have become deep rooted these days in Northern Soul culture.

    But the actual output is vast, possibly infinite. Some folk are still digging and seeking out these hidden gems. Others are satisfied to stick to the well worn, tired and proven.

    A familiar tale.

    It was also on Behind a painted smile album on UK Tamla Motown, which I think may have been a repackaged version of On The Rocks as I think it has all of the same tracks but in a different order With Painted Smile first track side one. Not sure what year it was released but I bought it in a big WH Smith sale that they had at London Bridge station either 71 or 72

    Yes, I would have played it off the 'Behind A Painted Smile' LP early days.

    What a fantastic bunch of tracks to be found on there!

    Essential stuff.

    I've always liked the J.J Barnes take. I used to have the very pretty, Revilot multi-coloured stock copy..

    Given the surreal, bootleg, mistaken identity and occasionally  defensive nature of this thread what's your favourite version? ....:wink:

     

    Darrell Banks UK London Demo orig (US Revilot) version Pete.

    Wouldn't trade mine for 1,000 Bootlegs.
