Hi Mal, We are pretty sure they are. Here are some additional notes from Dave Welding @ soul Junction. The Cooperettes were four sisters, Janette, Angela, Debbie and Tina Cooper from Germantown PA. Who began their singing career under the guidance of their mother Ethyl. Originally performing gospel as The Little Cooperettes they dropped the ‘Little’ when they switched to secular music. Still under the wing of the matriarchal Ethyl Cooper they signed to the management of respected Philly radio disc-jockey and entrepreneur Sonny Hopson (The Mighty Burner) securing a recording deal with Brunswick Records in 1966. Their first release “Goodbye School/Goodbye School (Inst)” BR-55296) made sufficient noise in and around Philadelphia for Brunswick Records to release a second 45 “Everything’s Wrong/Don’t Trust Him” (BR-55307), a cover version of the Chubby Checker song from the previous year becoming a local hit for The Cooperettes. The Cooperettes third and final Brunswick release was to be the Harthon Productions produced dance theme song “Shing-A-Ling/(Life Ha) No Meanings Now” (BR-55329) a 1967 release that would later through its instantly recognizable drum roll introduction become an all time classic within the UK Northern Soul Scene. Sonny Hopson would later secure the girls a second recording deal with a major label with the 1968 Morris Bailey penned song “Trouble” gaining a release on the ABC label, released twice with different flipsides, “Peace Maker/Trouble” (45-1156) and “Spiral Road/Trouble” (45-1197). The Cooperettes final release would be the1971 mid-tempo crossover outing “Win All Your Love” b/w the sister funk dancer “Satisfaction” released on the IDB label (I-D-B 1007). The I and D being the initials of the former label owners christian names the late Irving Neiburg and Danny Odom. Danny Odom was also the former manager of the Philly hit group The Intrigues of “In A Moment” fame with the B in IDB being taken from the local label name Bullet which The Intrigues hit “In A Moment2 was first released on.The youngest Cooper sister Tina would later marry Danny Odom.

Pre order will be available sometime on Friday. Additional notes: It should be noted that well known Collector Tim Ashibende was the first UK person to track down and meet Howard in Philly some years ago, which largely lead to some of the tracks from his stable reaching a wider audience on the Northern soul scene. After a conversation with Tim Ashibende he relayed his story to me. The first Timmy Carr acetate came from Howard to Tim, then ended up with Carl Fortnum in a big trade. In that same deal with Howard he also got other stuff including 2 copies of Benny Sigler, ‘Who you gonna turn to’ which he was also involved with. Tim met and interviewed Howard in 1991 after writing to him. He replied to his enquiry, then Tim subsequently met him next time he was out on the East Coast. He did a short taped interview with him, and he also gave me a tape of other songs.

Still got a small batch of this available on the site. A PANTHER’S STORY - A Novel by Alberto Zanini Format: Paperback Book The new and exciting Novel from the man that brought you "Funk Investigators" A Panther on the run, hunted down by J. Edgar Hoover's Special Agents during one of the most turbulent periods in recent American history. Dirty cops, mobsters, civil rights activists, street thugs, investigative reporters and secret service operatives from distant lands intertwine, generations later, in a space-time capsule in which a New York Public Library executive and a Broadway violinist are, once again, called in to investigate. A Panther’s Story is a novel in two parts. The first part is set in 1969, an annus horribilis for the civil rights movements in America. The second part takes place in 2021, when evidence and people related to a very specific event that took place over fifty years ago come to light. It all begins with the true-life events of the New York Twenty One. The city headquarters of the Black Panthers is wiped out by the police on the basis of evidence that, two years later, will turn out to be completely false. Three activists manage to escape. One of them is Jalon Perry. With the help of the DeVonnes, he will be able to save himself and, despite Hoover putting his most trusted agents on his tail, nothing more will be known about him until the winter of 2021. While the case against the Panther Twenty One is historical fact, both Jalon Perry and the DeVonne brothers are fictional characters to whom the author entrusts the task of developing the story narrative following the actual events. The second part is entirely the result of the author's imagination. Around the main characters revolve a whole series of minor characters – journalists, collaborators, crooks, silent henchmen and others – who enrich the depth of the narrative landscape and allow the author to describe environments and atmospheres in an almost cinematic way and so provide readers with an evocative and compelling story.
