By jolly michael - I believe you're right!
Never heard the album cut before - didn't even know there was one.
Stumbled upon it whilst flitting about YouTube at random
derek
You obviously didn't hear Nolan Porter get numerous spins at Samanthas in Sheffield in the 70's by John Vincent then as that's when I first became aware of it... and naturally picked the album up promptly!
Deon Jackson, I didn't get to know about until the early 80's, courtesy of Mr Hampsey... and naturally... etc.!

i got one from andy dyson for a tenner early 90`s after gettin it on a tape from john benson..i think andy had a few copies back then
Mine was from down that basement in Manchester - around 2 - 3 quid.
Oh yes, Goldmine Records, that's the place, they must have had a few copies in as my mate Kev Briscoe told me about it at the time.

Great thread so far guys, I always like to hear a mixture of things soulful and the rare groove / two step sound is included.
I probably first came across the terms during the 80's but wasn't really sure of what sounds go with what - still not really, it's all 'just soul' to me!
As the music started to get more and more 'widespread', I started to notice DJ playlists in the mags such as Blues and Soul, Echoes etc. Some I already recognised, some I didn't - which prompted me to start digging through my collection and find them out. Of course I was pleasantly surprised when I found I'd already got quite a few, others I did find while out looking for records and picked up on the strength of the playlists and the ones I already knew and liked.
I also used to listen to the shows on Sheffield Community radio - a pirate station as I recall and did hear a lot of this played at certain times (thanks for the reminder Geordie!) I've no idea who played the music on these shows, but I did hear lots of then unknown things that I liked, along with things I used to hear Richard Searling play on his radio show in Sheffield during the early 80's.
Also I followed that thread on the Soul 24-7 forum, and attemped to compile a list of the recommendations mentioned, never did make a proper listing though, although I still have a lot of points from the thread saved.
Agreed though, these days a lot of the music from these 'scenes' seem to have crossed over into others - not a bad thing in my opinion either.
I always think if it's good, then play it, never mind the 'box' it has to go in. But I think I'm probably in a minority on that way of thinking...
I don't know how relevant this is, but I spotted someone selling some rare groove CDs on ebay last year and traced them back to most likely this site: https://www.raresoulgrooves.com/store/
There's lots of titles listed on there to go through as examples of what this is about.
Cheers!

Wasn't there a bootleg of this 45 done also?
I seem to remember being told this at some time.

It's on a surfside 45
Tell us more then Mick, I only know of the CD album and also it's on a 5 track CD single:
Shero single & instrum./What Goes Around../Dreamin'/If It Ain't One Thing.., Southside... .
So what's also on the 45 then?
-
Thanks its a nice Cd by the way some nice tracks on it , if your mate buys Cds that is.
Surprisingly, I picked this CD up in the early to mid 90's and the tracks that stood out for me are:
What goes around comes around
Shero
Dreamin'
Hold on! I'm coming to save you
Always had a soft spot for the General

Just played it, it doesn't sound like Lou at all

Just download the sound file as per the link on the auction page

I've got one of those Steve Mancha UK Columbia 45s "It's all over the grapevine" - one side plays "Ba Ba Bank robbery" by EAV but it has the correct Steve Mancha labels on both sides.
I forget if it's the vocal or instrumental side of Steve's which is missing...
Also, I have a copy of the Adorables "Ooh boy" on Golden World, which actually plays the Four Tops "Ain't that love" / "Lonely summer" (Columbia re-issue from 1965)

Nice show guys
I only caught it from Cynthia Sheeler onwards, so thanks to Zane, will be catching up later!
-

I certainly looks that way Matt, I can't see it in any singles listing - unless there's an obscure South American release or similar?
-
Otis Leavill also did "Why why why" on a Dakar 45!

Still can't drop on this myself Andy - good luck
-
Just wondering, is the poor grade vinyl etc comments referring to all the Phillippines Motown 45s in general, or just these mentioned?
I know Smokey Robinson & The Miracles "Flying high together" was also released there (So can't be included here) - was that a 'bad' one also?
-
Here's a few more for the list -
4 Tops - "Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind" from "Yesterday's Dreams"
You may not be aware that this actually got a 45 release in the UK (At least) as the flip to "Do what you gotta do"
Nice thread guys!
-
Not really my thing Pete, although I can see what you mean about it being 'old style'There's at least one copy on sale for around the price you paid though..Just realised I have something on Phil LA of Soul by a group of this name, not sure if it's the same group though.
-
I've got it on the red Columbia label - not sure which is the 'harder' copy though?
I think it's styrene also.

That's the one!

I think if you have a closer look at them both Steve, you may see they are different release numbers, along with a different flip side.
PSR 45,011 is Dee Dee Warwick "Get out of my life" / "Funny how we change places" - released in 1974
PSR 45,033 is Dede Warwick "This time may be the last time" / "Funny how we change places" - released in 1975
UK release: PVT 13 is Dee Dee Warwick "Get out of my life" / "Funny how we change places" - released in 1975
Saying that I've just come across this one, also on PSR 45,011:
Yes, it's very confusing isn't it...!
