I was just trying to find out what year Jimmy Raye was discovered and this thread came up on the search. Blimey. This was a thread and a half wasn't it? I just spent the last half-hour reading the first 6 pages and I'm not even half-way through yet. If there's nothing on telly or you're not going out tonight, you could do lot worse than have a read through this. A wealth of info........ Ian D

Interesting thread this. I was just perusing an excel file of a music catalogue and came across 2 Felice Taylor tunes which I can't identify:- "Where Can I Turn To" and "Your Heart And Soul" Does anyone know these two tunes and, if so, when were they made and who produced them? I have reason to believe that they're from the Barry White era but can't clarify as yet. Ian D

Now sorted. Many thanks All! Ian

Hi All, I suddenly have a hankering to own a nice minty promo of Darrell Banks "Somebody, Somewhere (Needs You)" - Darrell Banks on Revilot in a desperate bid to pretend that I'm 15 again and hearing it for the first time. Can anyone oblige at a reasonable price? Many thanks, Ian D

This never did turn up did it? https://www.discogs.com/release/13948564-The-Vibrations-The-Man-Man-Overboard Ian D

Only just heard this! My God. What a record! It's bang on perfect for me these days. Brilliant song and production. Ian D

I admire your honesty. It wouldn't be the first time memories get obscured with time. OK, back to square 1...... Ian

Yep. I hear stuff I've not heard before most weeks. There's always a surprise. Had one today in fact. Ian D

Did you actually play the 'B' side and, if so, what's it like? Ian D

It's funny I had a convo about this last night with a well-known dealer, He was surprised I asked the question as he thought it was an obvious dummy-up. I told him that I hadn't gone into forensics on the label but it was more that whoever mocked it up obviously had some detail about the supposed 'B' side since the writing credit tallies with Ray Dahrouge's memories. So it's just interesting. My dealer friend senses a scam whereas I'm pretty intrigued by it all. I wouldn't have particularly thought about it but I bumped into the B side scan only recently, even though it's been around since Mick H's post from 2015. I'm not a label buff, the scan's not clear enough, so overall I would have been pretty convinced that it was real. But if it's not real, then what would have been the purpose for the dummy-up? Wishful thinking? Ian

Yep. Andy Lett contacted him as a result of the previous S.S. thread which I've just re-read. The 'B' side song was written by his wife under her maiden name, Michelle White:- "ANDY, AFTER I MADE DEAL WITH G.S.F PRES. LARRY NEWTON (FORMER PRES. OF A B C PARAMOUNT REC. RAY CHARLES, CURTIS MAYFIELD ,& IMPRESSIONS, ARTISTS, ETC. ) I WENT HOME & WROTE B SIDE WITH MY WIFE MICHELE. I DON'T RECALL TITLE OR IF IT WAS EVER ON A RECORD. RELEASE". So, whether the scans are fake or not, the 'B' side info on the scan would seem to concurr with Ray Dahrouge's memory. That means that whoever made the scan would have to have had some pretty good info on the writer! Original post here:
