Goldsoul

Are we talking masters or vinyl stock? If its masters, John Beecher certainly doesn't own them according to the names listed below. Following lengthy discussions with Sheila Ferguson, Tony Galla, General Johnson and Chris Biehler, the consensus is Tony Mamarella owned the label following Dick Clark's departure. Bernie Binnick and Ed Balbia bought certain parts of the stock and tapes that were not in dispute. Product such as The Showmen, Tony Galla reverted back to the outfits that created them. Vinyl stock wise, maybe Rick from Stockport has a few answers.

Sad to hear of Odyssey's lead singer Lilian Lopez passing away late on Sept 4th.Great vocalist who I worked with on a few occasions.Don't Tell Me Tell Her for me is one of the great killers of 1980 not forgetting the enormous pop hits such... Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

Firstly, it's The Elgins who are touring. Maybe Hitsville Chalky, the agent has a solo gig for Yvonne, but the dates Sept 21 Stoke, 22nd Blackburn and 23rd Rolls Royce Derby are group led with Yvonne adding 'Just Like You Did Me' off the back of their Motown stuff. For those in the South, The Academy, Basingstoke is the setting on Sunday Sept 30th.

Sean- I have the original Flasher- Mistura including the vocal version(never released) acetate. That was the only copy cut when we came out of the studio in 1975. Happy to loan it to you for Just Soul lol

Sadly not near my scanner, but how about two weird ones. I think I have the only acetate in existence of Van McCoy's guide vocal on I Get The Sweetest Feeling. April Blackwood 1967. Ironically, I got it from Rich Rosen in 1978 for $3! When I worked at Magic in Leeds in the 90's, I bought a DJ's collection from the 60's and found a EMI disc of Shotgun Wedding- Roy C!! Proud to say that You'll Always Be In Style- Ad Libs came from me. Who has it now?

Had a great 2 hours with Carl in our hotel @SoultripUSA 2009. Priceless chit chat. Introducing Barbara Acklin to his taxi driver Eugene Record was one such moment. R.I.P Mr. Chicago

The Prophets led by Billy Scott had a regional US hit with the song in 1968. By 1972 the track was huge in the UK. Selecta Disc Nottingham approached US distributor Eric to acquire the rights. Owned Bill Buster went one step further, having MFSB player Bobby Martin remix the master renaming the group Creation. Following several thousand imports sold, UK Stateside picked it up for British release. Shortly after, Selecta's own Black Magic label issued it too. On a final note, it was to be used as the opening song of the KFC 'Chicken Got Soul' TV campaign several years ago, sadly being dropped at the last minute by my 5th choice I Can't Get Away- Bobby Garrett. 'Fever' is one of the most uplifting Northern sides of all time.

Tony.....Please don't get him started. Peggy/Terry- Do you have any knowledge at all ?

Mark-I knew Ian briefly. Within a couple of months, Russ decided we needed guest DJ's and phoof....he was gone.

As I can Tony.......accept it, live it, breathe it!

It was given away in early October. The reason a badge wasn't made on Sept 23rd, is down to Russ being unsure if the All Nighter would take off. I joined on the 2nd week(Sept 30th,1973). As cheesey as it looks, I'm proud to be part of that piece of history. Right on, Keep the Faith 'Kev'

Of course it does. Just listen to the intro for a start. Kenny Gamble verified to me in 2006 after my friend Jerry Ross confirmed to me 35 years ago during a trip to Philly. My original posting is completely accurate.

I certainly hope not, I am appearing on Friday the 13th with the Impressions and Sergio Mendes.

Mike also owned Phoof(ala James Coit)....what with the Epitome of Sound he certainly had future 'Casino Connections'

Just as an add on........Mike Rolo was my co-dj at Wigan Casino the Winter of 1973 on a Wednesday night. The venue became so popular by November we had a mid-week slot which lasted around a year I think.

Bob- Spot on. An earlier posting from Rod was pretty thorough and accurate too. Chris Beachley at the Wax Museum was one of the early suppliers of Beach in demanded to the Carolinas. One of my dearest friends John Hook was the voice every Saturday on WBT in the early 80's, who would really push the genre. I would say Beach was at the peak of its popularity during that decade. And like Northern, it refuses to lie down!
