thanks again jaco another batch for my folders lol,whats your view on the other Drive design showed above?? BAZ A

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HEP ME SOME INCREDIBLE STUFF ON THE LOGO -DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE OTHER -VERY WILLING TO LEARN HOWEVER -LOVE MOST STUFF FROM NEW ORLEANS !!! BAZ A The Hep'Me / Light House recordings were from New Orleans it seems:

you got me thinking now -i know the prolifics recorded on hep me and lady house and were essentialy a funk out fit,this drive logo -looks like a small obscure logo-wonder if bobo could confirm!! BAZ A Is this the same Prolifics / Drive label, as the label design / numbering are different?

Thanks Edwin certainly having fun on some of these got some handy drive tips etc!!! atbm BAZ A Hi Baz, There's a version of Johnny K.Killens "don't need help"(deep city) on drive,by the ???can never remember if it's the profiles or prolifics...Boba knows,as he's corrected me before. Brilliant version(got put onto this by Chris Ashby)...been after one for years. This might tie up with the Johnny K outings on drive. If anyone's got one for sale let me know Best Edwin

thats the one all the Vikki Anderson stuff in particular John!! Baz, Do you mean James Brown's Brownstone? If so, in the back of the James Brown autobiography which came out in the late 80's there's a definitive discography by Cliff White.
