Richie Havens On Verve Folkways
No, he never got around to it... according to this forum post anyway:https://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=14117 I also think both recordings of the song are good - in their own way

Soul - Or Other - Albums On Reel-To-Reel
I remember we had a Telefunken reel to reel recorder sometime in the mid to late 60's Something like this one I seem to think. But I don't think I bothered recording anything particular on it - nor bought any pre-recorded tapes for it. But eight tracks was a different matter, I had a few of those
-
Chuck Wood + Lou Johnson
It was a proper oldie by the time it got plays there! I remember it getting spins in the late 60's and then in the early 70's getting re-issued on mojo due to the 'demand' Actually... I don't remember it being 'huge' at Wigan at all - I must have missed it for whatever reason. Still like to hear it now and then tho

Billy Butler And The Impressions, Love Me
Not forgetting the UK release of this on Buddah! But I do seem to think the Curtom release is a little bit harder to find? But it's a lovey tune whichever format you get it on
-
The Majestics - I Love Her So Much It Hurts Me - Linda
I'll agree on this also - I picked mine up from Record Corner after being told about it from a Yate regular I knew - it was a long time after that beore it got major plays elsewhere (as far as I can remember anyway!) The Majestics though, I don't remember hearing until the early to mid 80's.

It's a boot, probably from the Beach scene. It was mentioned on here in April /forums/topic/129119-2-wants/

Bobby Jones On Kack

Bobby Jones On Kack
I don't think I've ever heard this one, only seen reviews in mags - I've no doubt it's already in refosoul but never thought to check
-
Can Anyone Help To Name That Tune?
DON GARDNER - IS THIS REALLY LOVE - Is this the one then - It's a good chance I'd say
-
Loma
Hmmm - interesting, so presumably we could even see a green copy of the above Bobby Reed 45? (2089)
-
Played At The Ritz
No - I think that was was much earlier, it was his version of the old Ashford & Simpson song
-
Loma
Yes possibly there is one Roger, I noticed the Bobby Reed is a few numbers earlier and has a white 'non' WB promo, but the Voice Box for example being a later one is the WB release. It could possibly be a clue as to how close it was to when the yellow Loma releases stopped?

Shirley Brown Stax Uk Only 45
Y'know what they say about Yorkshire folk - cheaps not the word (Or skate either!) Sean - mending slowly, but surely - thanks
-
Loma
Great theme Roger! I'd not realised that the above Linda Jones promo was of the Green Warner Bros release.... Was there also a promo for the yellow copy? I can't really say as I'd noticed.

Shirley Brown Stax Uk Only 45
If only there was somewhere that plays this kind of stuff eh Oh - I just remembered, there is - isn't there

Wee Willie Walker - I Don't Want To Take A Chance
Phew! - that makes me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one Got to dig out me CD though and check for the 'Gold foil' - don't think it's got any though...yet! Here's a scan of the LP cover:
-
Linda Jones - My Heart Needs A Break
Never had a white one, did have a green one for a time but now just got the yellow issue
-
Wee Willie Walker - I Don't Want To Take A Chance
Y'know - I hadn't realised there was more than one mix of this I only knew of the Jap Goldwax CD version back in the day when it first got spins at Yarmouth / Pitches etc. I've just compared the above CD recording with the LP recording of Andys and they sound the same - so does that mean the Kent 45 was another mix which only surfaced via Kent? I guess so... In fact I think Adey just answered that one whilest I'm typing. I suppose there goes my 'street cred' now

What Year Were These Records Released?
I don't think they'll be far out Dave - I was more giving your site a plug / memory jog than blaming you if the info is wrong... but if the cap fits and all that (Actually I guessed you'd only include dates if you thought they were right and they were around the years I expected they should be - without digging through loads of mags for no doubt the same answers)
-
Linda Jones - My Heart Needs A Break
I know the price, just wondered who it was... Think I'll just stick with my loma copy
-
What Year Were These Records Released?
