Goldsoul

A super knowledgeable guy I'm proud to call my friend. The fun we had at Soultrip in Chicago. Particularly with Bob's super dry humour with Bobby Bland's daughter. Don't ask! Why leave us now pal....I need the Steelers phone number. RIP Bob

Don't forget the fabulous array of unreleased gems that Goldmine released as Don's UK licensee from 1995. Some great stuff on those CDs. RIP Don Davis.

PM'D YA

Assured by who? Let's not get off topic. I answered your question as to Love On A Lease Plan-Johnnie Taylor. Any other concerns, try the former MD of Goldmine/Soul Supply Tim Brown. Very nice guy and I'm sure he will love to spend hours answering your questions

Totally correct Dave

You assume wrong.

Goldmine/Soul Supply were the exclusive licensee for Groovesville. Love On A Lease Plan was an unreleased demo credited on the tape box to Johnnie Taylor. That's about it.

Were you there when I was offered it? I don't need 700 and for the record would turn down a grand.

Just to clarify......I was offered 750 and turned it down. This is very, very rare. It's only due to a similar re-press that folks assume it's more common than it really is. So as for JM's valuation of 400...on this occasion he's under valued it by several hindered IMHO.

Can't remember to be honest. I met Morty at Downstairs records in the Times Sq subway in 1975. He mentioned he had old records and his involvement with Rock n Rollers Johnny and the Hurricanes. Upon visiting his apartment, he didn't have too much apart from boxes of Gene Burks. I took around 50 of those and left several hundred. He then played me Jobell and gave me several copies. As I had just left Wigan at the time, new releases were not of much use so I passed them onto Ian, Colin and others. That's where my recollection ends on this one.

Hopefully more than the £800 Tim paid me for it lol. I think this was my copy which I sold to him in 1991. I got it from the same guy who sold me JD Bryant on Shrine in 1981. Two very worthwhile purchases. Good luck to Anglo with the sale.

I doubt Clinton would have dealt with Bestway. I maintain they were pretty much styrene. Essex plant in Newark is my 1st choice. They pressed Smoke and lots of small labels as did Stan Krause's fathers plant in Little Ferry(that's where the Robby Lawson came from). If you have any more detailed knowledge let's add to the conspiracy theories. I knew a lot of the characters mentioned in this thread first hand, however as we are talking 1965, sadly 'A Walk In The Black Forest'- Horst Jankowski was blasting out of Mum's speakers with New Jersey a lifetime away!

I doubt that. Bestway were owned by Larry Uttal who put most of his Bell and subsequent Arista product there. The company used mainly styrene. I'm tempted to say the plant in Little Ferry, NJ that manufactured Paul Kyer's 60's works. Catamount records owned that particular outlet. It could also have been the Essex plant in Newark.

File this under Kev's Use(ful?)less trivia no.962........ Morty Craft owned the Jan(his wife) label. I was given the first copies of the single which were promptly given to Ian Levine at the Mecca. Oddly enough, I was at Morty's appartment buying quantity of Gene Burks-You Got It on Chris-Craft a single MC had released years earlier. I also sent copies of Jobell to my friend Dave McAleer at Pye hoping it would get a release. Jan by the way was nicknamed 'Red' for the stunning hair....Morty was a lucky and interesting man. KR

The store in Plainfield would have been Brooks. John Anderson was first too it and I think me a close 2nd in 1977. I know he found copies of Willie Hutch on Dunhill for a dollar each!

He certainly was a great character and the guy that got me into Mcfarlane Music in Newark, NJ where I found the first Black and Silver DJ of the Del Larks. Ironically I sold it to Dave Raistrick.

Hopefully this little bit of trivia and fact will help draw a line under the fabulous Marton outing..... I think I may be the first Northern Soul person to hear it and........turn it down! Record dealer George Greco(Passaic, New Jersey) played it me in 1977 and offered at $100. As I had a cosy relationship with George and not paying more than 20 bucks for anything from him, I found is offer 'insulting' and promptly refused to pay his 'crazy asking price'. The record was then sold to Martin Koppell. I lost the trail on it until late 1978. What I can tell you is, the Orange reissue was made in New Jersey. The reason I remember that part is, that several months later I moved to New York to live and met GG regularly and saw copies of the re-do in stores in the NY/NJ area alongside the doo-wop reissues of the day. I suspect the chain of events went a little like this.........Original sold to Northern dealer, DJ breaks it at Wigan, Demand builds, UK wholesaler orders quantity from US dealer who in turn runs a few extra for the burgeoning Doo Wop/Soul oldies market on America's East and West Coast. Happy Days except for yours truly 'the chump' who left for $100. BTW.....Anyone got one for sale?(Blue label only please)

Mark...Thanks for reminding me. That's where my memory faded. I used the Rampage inst from the tapes I got from George Kerr, obviously I missed using the Flirtations inst for some reason. As Pete identified, it wasn't used on cd either. I must have decided not to use it at all. Just as a piece of side trivia and still not answering Daz's thread starter.....the song was originally commissioned by Herb Abramson as a Toothpaste commercial. The TV ad was used apparently and became popular, hence Herb's green light to Sidney Barnes to enhance the melody into.........a bloody fantastic Northern dancer

Did it not get a release on Goldmine cd?

Is it really? As you can see from the acetate though I did intend the inst to come out.

Nice to see the acetate. That's my writing by the way. Cheers Kev

It did get a legal release via the LP Record Collector on Destiny in 1979. Herb Abramson owner of Festival was a friend of mine and he's the one who is responsible for the license plus the Babysitters and Charlotte Stokes on Tip. All mentioned before in previous threads.
