Eddie was one of the first pioneers of R/B radio in the USA its likely a good smattering of records had that signature on ! He had shows on WWLR and WLIB he died in 1998.

By the way folks just incase you Philly Soul fans did not get round to getting it the Tom Moulton remixes are bloody fantastic imho particularly the Intruders stuff etc !

Must admit win place or show is an utter masterpiece the intro etc still blows me away got most of their stuff on Gamble etc but to me there hit new heights with Philly Int. Masters of the Philly Sound and a massive loss to the world of soul music !

Didn't know that mate I did wonder!

Brilliant read Chalky some real interesting stuff there and very well researched Larry got on to the Spring logo in the seventies which of course had some real big names at the time he was obviously a massive talent !

Fontella Bass soul of a man [tis the flipside of rescue me and possibly one of the greatest deepies ever imho ! Some never off the decks at Atkinson HQ -Nice to visit the real passion !! Paul Kirk on the road to love Pompeii records great Texas deep soul Chicago Gangsters - I choose you -Red Coach gets me every time ! Bobby Adams - go on back to Georgia -Home Town Records just incredible deep soul ! Eddie Billups I wont be around -Josie The Soul Stirrers -im travelling on -Jewell mind blowing vocals from Robert Blair James Carr -mind messed up infact anything from this utter genius on the deeper side Jerry Butler -go away-[the flipside of moody women will just tear you apart imho ] Johnny Truit -your love is worth the pain -Abet oh lordey Johnny Adams sometimes a man shed a tear too [oh lordey ] Paulette reeves -your real good thing is about to come to an end -Blue Candle Tony Ashley - I cant put you down -decca never off the decks as well as his other masterpiece we must have love ! The Victones -I need you so on Front Page as well as I cant take no more chances by lee moses which borders on the deep side also ! Betty Harris -A fool can always break your heart - Wilson Pickett -I found a love - Atlantic Arthur Conley -in the same old way -Fame so many on this logo this is my fav Candi Staton - i dont love you no more -Fame Little Hooks and Kings -Count your blessings -Chess Kenny Smith -keep on walking baby -Chess James Duncan -my pillow stays wet -king Eddie James been down so long kING Finish with my all time deepie Sam Dees can you be a one man women Chess still brings me to my Knees !

It is the same Top Shelf as Lo Lo folks have a read below guys !! And sorry for negative feedback ive been offline on here for 5 years and pressed the wrong button lol -jeezzz will get their in the end I think ! PS Note the George Kerr connection !! Lolo Records was a Birmingham based record label. It was a subsidiary of the Nate McCalla's New York label "Calla Records", active from the 1965 to 1977. Calla records were distributed first by Cameo-Parkway, then independently, (sometimes in association with Morris Levy's Roulette Records), and in the mid 1970's by Shakat Records and CBS (Epic). Artists who recorded for Lolo include Sam Dees and Top Shelf. Producers who worked with Lolo include George Kerr and B. B. Cunningham An unrelated "LoLo Records", active since 1991, is located in Roxobel, North Carolina.

Hello Lars -wasnt the label a Dub,Reggae logo eventually leading to the OLD GOLD record label and distributed through WEA ? Dont know if that helps mate I could be a mile off but sure someone will shout up if I am wrong !!

looks like their have doubled up on this? Wonder if this has happened on any other cuts?

One of my fav logos got OVER 20 so far,the spec 106 has skin deep part 11 on on my copy would like too see the other copy if possible ? This is on blue Spectrum also !

Got their track on Brodway Mal which has turned out to be a bit of a rare one over the years -not got much info on the other cut ?

Got one bout 5 years ago for the supa soulful I wanna be ready - tis a great double sider indeed on a great logo still play all my Four Mint records on the same logo also !

Hello everyone I thought I would jump back on to soul source and pay my respects to John Powney a man I had a respect for over the years! John was a throwback a real decent person,complicated and intelligent to boot -he loved his cats -non league football and could name any team from the forties onwards! In terms of soul knowledge I have not met anyone to match to be honest but unlike some he was so unassuming about it,not a smart arse -not looking for accolades just a mad eccentric Geordie who had the insight to ship crates yes crates of us imports over to north shields docks in the sixties. I made monthly visits to Johns in the late eighties and nineties either to trade but mostly to buy with my good friend Gaz Simons,jeez we would walk out with records like Jock Mitchell demo George Kirby demo the Performers etc for next to nowt -we often got the feeling Johns real pleasure was seeing your face when you bagged a long time want ! I can remember bagging Henry Brookes/the Reachers/ Moses Smith and about 100 invictus imports in one session plus love Committee etc for literally pennies -crazy days.We were often gobsmacked by the fact that we could literally view whole logos more than not on demos -Diamond Jim etc he had the lot ! He made terrible coffee lol and he made me laugh -he had a real vulnerable side but it warms my heart to know that decent lads looked after him in his later years. Rest in Peace John and God Bless. Baz Atkinson PS Back on my old log in !

Ah thats lovely Lorraine your humility definetly shines -the pleasure is all mine believe me,trying to sort out some pics from that night think it was 1983 or perhaps 82,ill get them posted if I can find them !! Hey BAZ A, It's hard for me to remember last week! But I do remember the gig. I remember it because it was small club but the people were in to us. Sorry I don't remember you personally, but I'm glad we are getting re-aquainted. Folks will have to give a shout out to Dave Thorley, he was one of the promoters at that time and responsible for the Stafford gig. Lorraine

Hey Lorraine-its great your on here, met you and Eddie Parker at a small club in CO DURHAM Darlington to be precise,the night before you played Stafford,you gave a fantastic performance as did Eddie "can you remember the visit?" BAZ A
