    Ian you are absolutely right. It's why all of these TK issues licensed from Henry and his son have been dubs from discs. As I understand it there are some early titles which he retained ownership of, but most are bootlegs, if licensed from the original owner. The reason that EMI never chased Henry was because he was operating in the US and they only had UK rights - Warners had the US rights. Since they ended up with EMI UK, Warner now have this for the world.

    OK that would make sense, but in the case 'We Hurt Too' appeared on Funkadelic's America Eats Its Young.

    As far as I can remember that isn't a full list of Clinton Jobete compositions. I'll Bet You is missing for one. Any others?

    I know that in the 90s when I was working at Acid Jazz, our accountant warned us that their was an HMRC unit - based in Watford - that kept an eye on the music world. The looked at adverts in the papers, noted down names and would investigate if they thought people were avoiding their tax. Whether they still exist, I don't know.

    Thanks Shaun. Have emailed them.

    Anyone got a copy they'd like to sell? Demo or issue.

    Also when she sang the duet on Private Number with William Bell at the Ace 25th Anniversary, she put back promo on Texas' Greatest Hits album so that he could join her on Jools Holland a couple of weeks later. As to Craig he really does love soul and funk, and the guys who help him select the music really know their stuff. He's the most popular show on Radio Six, and the option doesn't seem to be between Craig and someone else, but Craig and no-one.

    With Ady on this one. Astounding record.

    The reason for so many different pressings, and different looking pressings of this records rests in the perilous position of Stax's finances by the time that this record came out. They were close to bankruptcy and using whatever credit lines they could find to press whatever runs they could. At that point they were also struggling to get the records out to distributors. At some point they also bought an old hand press, and were pressing the records themselves, which may account for records that look the same pressing wise but have different coloured labels.

    It was Edward and his small part as it were. I believe he will return as a Victorian policeman in the next series. Matt Berry makes records for Acid Jazz, nothing soul related.

    This one for me

    I think that Ian Wright is playing it, and that may be the impetus for the price rise. I bought this in Memphis a couple of years ago, and friends of mine who have looked for a copy have never paid a lot for it, but not found it especially easy to pick up either.

    As I understand it there is a third Mizell's produced track that has never seen the light of day. I think Where Are We Going first appeared on vinyl on an Austrian various artists compilation, I remember Eddie Piller playing it from that years back (Soul 24/7 days).

    We once spent a lovely lunch time with William where we were joking that Billy Idol's cover must have been his oddest but most valuable cover version. William said 'no no that sold 4 million copies, so it was good, but 5 million copies of the album with Homer Simpson's Born Under A Bad Sign surely beats it'.

    This from earlier in the year

    Working off the top of my head they would have been....Art Freeman Slippin' Around, Jimmy Hughes I Worship, the label's debut 45 by Jimmy Ray, and the previously unreleased Arthur Alexander track.

    No it was a mistake at the pressing plant. And this reissue had very little to do with Ady, it was Tony Rounce and my project. Dull - only if you find reissues from the original master-tapes dull. A lot of happy customers on this one. It's just one of the many varieties of releases that Ace and Kent do, some to appeal to hard core collectors, others for those dipping their toes in the water. Five great southern soul 45s in a box, can't see the problem with that.
  18. Dean Rudland
    Christ, not sure if I still have one!

    My knowledge of early Kent CDs isn't great - especially when I'm not in the office - but I can help a little on the 900 series. This was Ace's CD series when we were unsure if the pesky silver things were going to take off, so everything on Ace's various labels would appear in 900, and as the soul crowd were late adopters, the Kent's were few and far between for a few years.

    Nothing to do with that I would have thought. Just the sort of show that clip was from - a TV variety show. However that wasn't really the point - they were explaining the importance of a 4/4 beat and the clip they showed didn't have one, which I thought was funny.
  21. Dean Rudland
    That made me laugh too. They seemed to have a jazz drummer playing a shuffle beat.
  22. Dean Rudland
    That was a Sanctuary label and would have been legit.
  23. Dean Rudland
    I think Tony Rounce may have heard the whole album master when he was working on the catalogue about 20 years ago.
  24. Dean Rudland
    Probably off the bootleg, no?
  25. Dean Rudland
    I just went to play mine, and it seems to have gone missing. Puzzling!
