  1. Nice interview with Jon here, I realised how much his long hair influenced others The last time I knew he was events organiser at Hardwick Hall Hotel. Sedgefield, Co. Durham, He was "still" trying to track down the illusive (if exists at all) 12 " white Demo US Promo copy of the O'Jays "I l Love Music" from all those years ago.....Top Man indeed https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2016/01/jonathan-woodliffe-interview https://www.leftlion.co.uk/read/2010/november/dj-jonathan-on-rock-city-3310/
  2. That's why I got confused with the single not being released until 3 weeks (On it's own)
  3. My apologies did you get it with a download? and can we have image of B side please
  4. The Alexis Evans Cannot have been posted. If it has you will get it end of June
  5. Record Kicks release is NOT until 21-06-2019 if yours have landed or are in the post you must be members of this:)
  6. Not available until 21-06, how did you do that (unless you ordered LP)
  7. Looks more likely to me, great digging more back up here (scroll down) https://timsawley.co.uk/50-bubbling-under/
  8. I agree, I was just attempting to "bark up some sort of tree" with the name thing and you are correct artists moved around and used name variations often, but I think when we are investigating, all options need looking at

  10. Am I completely wrong here or was The Bobby Kline (Kilne) pictured here on the right, the same guy that was in "The Genos" from Reading, PA
  11. I apologise if this has been covered before I was looking for more info about the group and came across this interesting article.....WOW, you live and learn https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/see-which-whispers-singer-went-to-prison-for-1-8-mill-jewelry-heist/
  12. That's an interesting point, more bothered to know about Carol and her life (which would be connected I guess to her family), I believe they call it a bio , surely most folks would "like", if they knew, her story, like other artists.
  13. Totally agree with those sentiments. Just a case in point though. Because of the "play originals only" tag that has been self created, this also surely has added to this problem. After all there is always 2 sides to every coin
  14. Are we sure this isn't Lisa Stansfield in disguise !!!!! Great tune.....out for vinyl please I hope
  15. Found this article ....who is the lady in the middle ? This thread is also connected
  16. Please let me say sorry if this story has been covered and perhaps someone will direct me to any previous thread No doubt a lot of us have danced to or owned a copy of "Sad Girl" at some stage and of course Carol made a number of classy recordings I have noted her passing in 1984 and have tried to find out more about her and her family They ran Mid-Town records I spotted some comments on Amazon that were made about her family and it appears something happened including her mother Essie "Reading the liner notes took me back down memory lane. My family owned a record store next door to a boutique the Anderson's opened in 1979 or '80 on Jefferson Avenue on the east side of Detroit, Essie's Boutique. It was located in a block long stretch of black owned businesses who were all doing well. They were like royalty pulling up every day well dressed in a long gray Lincoln Continental, driven by Carol's brother George, with her mother Essie as the matriarch. Cheryl, Carol's daughter, completed the quartet. I was a preteen and friends with Cheryl, who at that time was a regular on The Scene, a locally produced and televised dance show. A poor man's Soul Train if you will. The family was tight knit and respectful. They were always together. Always. So I found the comment of Cheryl being a "wild child" in the liner notes a little off-putting. I'm not sure where that came from but I knew her, and she was anything but that. She once shared with me that Carol was not her real mother. If that was the case then it would certainly explain why she was never heard from again after Essie's and Carol's unfortunate deaths. In any event, I appreciate that the author put together this incredible CD. Carol may not have hit the big one in the music industry, but she touched many people. Anyone who can say that had a good life." This "looks" like a sad story (perhaps Ironic too with the title of her most famous record) and I would like, hopefully, for help in finding out what happened please.
  17. There's one for sale (yellow) on Discogs as you said for a £1000 but average price is £116, a red copy is unusual but £2000 would be fantasy land me thinks but with Al Johnson all over it, who knows.....good luck
  18. Played at Cleethorpes and Mary Chapman told me how one day, when the system went down, the crowd just sat and and sang Do It, Do It, must have been great, perhaps someone here remembers being there
  19. Maybe I am clutching at straws again This couldn't possibly be him ? https://www.hendersonmemorialchapel.com/obituary/1866627
  20. Skipper founded some great acts I wonder who the ladies are
  21. The band (named after the school where they were students, and their favorite car, the Oldmosbile Toronado) This is a great article https://www.houstonpress.com/news/the-tsu-toronadoes-6540593
