Yes, what's the relevance to the thread ? it is a rocker cafe (or was) motorbikes, leather and the likes. Funnily enough we'd pass it every time we came op north for a NS event. Whoops !! Just seen the reason, 100000000000 apologies...................

Maybe if C-P weren't farting about with a played out Chubster then they could have promoted the heck out of it and it would been a big hit (but then we'd not want would we ? ).

SABAM are very powerful and tough organisation they nearly shutdown the whole Belgian TV system some years ago over author rights, having said that if you pay them they'll allow pretty much anything

Make Sure You Know What Record You're Buying
The Minit release comes from their album "Sweet Soul Shakin'" there's a version of the Tempos "Countdown here I come" not surprising the 2 groups intermingled under the auspiciousness of the intrepid Bobby Sanders. Neither are like the Canterbury productions, same choons though.

I get the impression that this a Germany only single release I couldn't see it on the UK or US CP discography, what were they thinking ?

Finally got to track down Gilbert Govaerts a kind of Belgian Popcorn cross between Richard Searling & Ian L Anyway he said the record has been authorised by SABAM but reckons no royalties were ever paid. Released about 75-ish in answer to the BP fans demand. If you want to know his exact words they are : een officiele bootleg,d.w.z.dat degene die deze plaat heeft gereleased, een toelating heeft bekomen van SABAM(als men maar betaalt is voor SABAM alles ok)om deze plaat te persen,maar geen valabele overeenkomst hebben met de eigenaar van dit werk!tenzij met een fictieve(nep)overeenkomst.

Make Sure You Know What Record You're Buying
I couldn't find the previous thread about people who'd bought records thinking it was top notch single only to find they'd paid for a lemon....... Here's one you'd need to read carefully before parting with hard earned cash

Well, we're all aware how many labels/artists tried to copy Motown, the most successful black operated label of all time. Berry Gordy was very fast on his feet if he suspected plagiarism, he won court settlement against Curtis Mayfield for "Can't satisfy" and stopped the release of "Baby reconsider" because of a threat of court action, as far as I know this didn't happen to this tune, thanks heavens. I always thought CC looked a bit like a Supreme member. What's really interesting (well to me anyway) is that Heartaches away is a Super K production, these were the Kasenetz Katz people who went onto huge success with Bubble Gum.

Artists We Know Nothing About
Another artist that recorded on Vando was Art Robins, he's still around living in Syracuse, you can actually see him on YouTube singing live, old soul numbers. Not even his son knows much about him............

Grooving At The Gogo - The Larks Question
Try and get the other one on Tower - Another Chance b/w Rain. The former a dreamy mid tempo delight the B side wonderful ballad all done by that Philly genius Tommy Bell, you should be able pick one up for a tenner in today's market. They did a couple on Tower too, well worth having one "It's unbelievable" is a re-recording of their earlier release on Sheryl. Good luck

Is Carolina Beach Music, Americas Version Of Northern Soul
It probably is, don't forget the current US rare soul scene, it's pretty big : https://windycitysoulclub.com/ The Belgian Popcorn scene is a parallel world with the UK NS scene, born in the very early 70s, 60s soul music (when it started) totally underground, full of politics and posy DJs, sellers, collectors and matrix reading anoraks and to top it all it's in the north of the country.
