    5 years ago this May. And whilst we were at it I will also go on this one. I don't think anything could have prepared us for how good that performance was. I'm not sure anyone could have taken more than that one number!!

    Also done by Snowboy with Noel McKoy on vocals. Independents and Maurice Jackson versions have different lyrics according to Snowboy.

    I think Scorpio's owners have a long history in US distribution and are well connected within the US record industry. When the initial glut of these releases appeared I was convinced that they had to be boots, but after checking with a few labels it seems they were legit, and if they were licensing off of the indies, I'm sure they must have been licensing when doing the major stuff. Judging by the sound quality though, masters are very rarely used. Dean

    Shockingly, considering the quality, Scorpio seem to be legal. I have seen contracts between them and several labels that I have worked with in the states. Dean

    I've held back the great unreleased Bollinger tracks for a little later (there are I think three in the vault), whilst we try and find out some more about him. The XL / Sounds Of Memphis comp has his 1967 single 'You Can Lead Your Woman To The Altar'. Charles Chalmers - who produced the sessions - only memories of him were that he was from Chicago and was hard to record. Love to hear 'Gotta Hold On You'. Any chance of a soundclip?

    As some of you may know I have been going through the SOM archive for a series of releases on Kent - Barbara Brown out now, a label comp out next month - and we have come upon a bunch of unreleased Louis / Ovations cuts in amongst the tapes. I'm pretty certain that there isn't a version of 'Still A Part Of Me' though. There will be an Ovations / Louis CD from this era early next year. There are also a few unreleased Minits cuts and some stunning photos of them. Dean

    I think this is the Creative Funk 45 that Jazzman Gerald sold last year for about £200 - not this exact copy - so not a one off. But obviously rare if JM hasn't seen a copy. I think I will ask Gerald what he knew about it, as he obviously knew enough to price it high.

    The 45 is from the same time as the LP, not later. Uptite was Fania's RnB label - presumably because RnB radio woud ignore records from a Latin label.
