Not quite Top Of The Pops, but if you've got a PR person they should be yelling from the rooftops! For a deep-specialist album like this to even be in the Top 200 is a f*ckin' miracle plus it's holding today as well which is brilliant. Ministry Of Sound are probably on the phone now asking who these Pied Piper guys are and how did Ministry miss 'em.......... Ian D

Last night whilst posting on the 'Played Out Oldies Or Tunes You Miss' thread I posted Sterling Magee's "Keep On" which I think I've heard out once in the last 35 years. I wanted to hear it again, so I found it on You Tube...... It sounded so good I posted it on Facebook. Then a mate of mine who's majorely into Blues, wrote a comment saying that Sterling Magee was Satan and had been a massive influence on him! It turns out that Sterling Magee re-christened himself as Mr Satan and regularly plays a block and half from the Appollo...... Just to show that he hasn't lost all his Soul chops, here is Mr Satan doing his version of "Girl Watcher".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwmouIcS7fw&feature=share&list=UUfhRLtjXstv3CnebiGsL0UQ Strange old world innit?

Disco shit. And that's me saying this! Never got it, even the first time around. Ian D

Nah, not at all. It was all my own doing. Let's not forget that IL brought us such gems as The MVP's, The Present, Holly St James, Barnaby Bye etc, etc and I was a bit snobby about them as well....... Ian D

It was very possible that I screened it out. I used to be a Soul snob and would only play records with obvious black vocalists. That was until someone pointed that Dean Parish happened to be white LOL..... Ian D

Talking of Chris Jenkinson, has anyone seen or heard of him lately? We actually became very good mates in the 80's but we lost touch a while after I moved to London. None of our mutual mates have seen him for 20 odd years now either.... Ian D

Certainly a Wigan only tune Steve so I suspect Russ..... Ian D

I think there's a wider discussion here in terms of the difference between UK and US culture. I found when I was in the U.S. in the mid 70's I'd quite often say I was looking for Soul music and then have to explain exactly what Soul music was to some store owners and sometimes those conversations would go around the houses. But hey, that's another thread..... Ian D

It wasn't a fashion show Sutty. Limme ran a highly successful burger van outside Batley Variety club in the mid 70's. That's where the Limme burger came from OK? Ian D

Good call Mike. I'm fed up of people misappropriating Limme & The Family Cooking as a pop act when acts like the Soul Children were dressing themselves up as 'real soul' acts and sneakily scoring multiple Top 100 pop hits. Bloody charlatans! Ian D

Looks like mostly waffle to me Jocko. As far as I'm aware, there's always been attempts to crassly commercialise Soul Music whether it was Berry Gordy recording M.O.R. standards on Motown acts in the 60's or people selling genuine Oxford Bags or Northern Soul patches in the 70's. No change there then. And I think Soul music is still alive and well. Even if I'm not particularly a fan, some U.S. labels are still pumping out what they and I would call traditional Soul music. So I'm a bit bemused by it all. Also, what exactly is a Northern Soul burger? Does it have any features which differentiate it from a none soul burger? Ian D

Always hated it, never played it out anywhere in 40 years and don't own it. Nothing to do with elitism as I like lots of popular music but I've always hated this record with a vengeance for some reason. Ian D

There's quite a few moves afoot to try and beat legitimate reissues of stuff which is falling into public domain and Universal have just sneaked out some digital versions of unreleased stuff from 1962. The full article is here:- https://theseconddisc.com/2013/01/11/beat-the-boots-digital-volumes-of-motown-unreleased-1962-quietly-released-online/#more-18880 There’s been much talk this week of Bob Dylan’s 50th Anniversary Collection, a (very) limited edition title released in Europe to protect the singer’s 1962 recordings from entering the public domain there. But we can report that it’s not alone. On December 18, Universal Music very quietly released six exciting, digital-only compilations under the umbrella of Motown Unreleased: 1962. The New York Times has been among those speculating that the 120 tracks contained on the six “albums” have all been liberated from the vaults as a result of the same “use it or lose it” European copyright provision that led Sony to make the Dylan tracks available for the first time. The Motown Unreleased: 1962 campaign, alas only available in digital format from providers including Amazon.com and iTunes, includes two volumes each of The Guys and Jazz, and one volume each for The Girls and Gospel. In 1962, the young Motown family of labels included Divinity (gospel), Gordy (home to The Temptations, The Vandellas and The Contours), Mel-o-dy (Lamont Dozier, The Creations, The Charters), Tamla (The Miracles, The Marvelettes, Marvin Gaye), Workshop (jazz) and Motown itself (Mary Wells, Eddie Holland, The Supremes). Among the most memorable songs of the year from Gordy’s burgeoning empire included The Miracles’ “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” Marvin Gaye’s “Stubborn Kind of Fellow,” Mary Wells’ “The One Who Really Loves You” and “You Beat Me to the Punch,” and The Marvelettes’ “Beechwood 4-5789.” Many of Motown’s most famous acts were still on the cusp of stardom, including The Supremes and The Temptations. The Motown Unreleased series includes heretofore-unissued titles from artists both familiar and unfamiliar. What tracks can you expect to find? Hit the jump for the complete track listings and more! The first volume of Jazz includes a complete album’s worth (twelve tracks) from The George Bohannon Quartet. Hitsville trombonist Bohannon released two bossa nova-inflected sides on Workshop Jazz in 1963 (“Bobbie” b/w “El Rig”) from his album Boss Bossa Nova. Bohannon’s unreleased tracks, all unveiled here, include such standards as Rodgers and Hart’s “It Never Entered My Mind,” Robert Wright and George “Chet” Forrest’s “Baubles, Bangles and Beads” from their musical Kismet, Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse’s “What Kind of Fool Am I?” from Stop the World, I Want to Get Off, and Frank Loesser’s “Joey, Joey, Joey” from The Most Happy Fella. Bohannon went on to remain with Motown and work on such projects as the film Lady Sings the Blues. The second Jazz volume features seven tracks from Beans Bowles and nine from The Johnny Griffith Trio. Like The Bohannon Quartet, Griffith also released a 1963 single on the short-lived Workshop Jazz label (“I’mi See You Later” b/w “I Did”). Bowles was another longtime member of the Motown family who played saxophone on many early sessions before becoming a tour manager and musical director. The Gospel collection is a lengthy one, with six tracks from The Burnadettes, five from Reverend Chas Glover, four from The Gospel Stars, nine from Reverend Columbus Mann and two from The Pronouns. The Gospel Stars (Mae, Etta and Sandra Gooch, Elizabeth Davis, Lillian Woods and Lois Russell) had the distinction of seeing their 1961 recordings on the final Divinity single, released in July 1963. The Burnadettes released their only Divinity single in May of that year. Motown Unreleased: Girls introduces a whopping thirteen tracks from the bluesy singer Hattie Littles, who released one single (and saw another scheduled but shelved) in 1962, but remained with the company for roughly another three years. (A second pressing of the “Your Love is Wonderful” single was also released in 1962, technically giving Littles two released singles.) Six tracks from the Vandellas catalogue round out this set. The Martha Reeves-led group made their debut in 1962 with the single “I’ll Have to Let Him Go” b/w “My Baby Won’t Come Back.” The first volume of Guys has an eclectic roster. Seven songs come from The Contours, and six apiece from The Creations, Freddie Gorman (of “Please Mr. Postman” and The Originals fame), and Marvin Gaye. Still in his crooner mode, Gaye’s songs include a jazzy reinterpretation of “A Lot of Livin’ to Do” from Bye Bye Birdie and “Just in Time” from Bells Are Ringing. Lastly, Volume 2 of Guys has two songs from Lee and the Leopards, five from Mike and the Modifiers, four from The Mysterions, two from Andre Williams, one each from Johnny Powers, Singin’ Sammy Ward, four from The Temptations and three from The Miracles. The Leopards, The Modifiers, The Contours, The Creations and Ward all released singles in 1962, as did future superstars The Temps, The Miracles and Gaye. The history of the Mysterions is question mark. (Pun intended.) Powers, said to be the first white male musician in Motown’s employ, recorded at Hitsville with producers Gaye and Clarence Paul in 1962. Whatever the reason for their issuance, these six volumes represent a diverse treasure trove of material from one of the formative years at Motown. Longtime collectors will likely be disappointed that no physical release has been announced, quite a contrast from the typically luxurious classic Motown projects issued by Hip-o Select. But Hip-o honcho Harry Weinger has related some rather good news in a post on the Soulful Detroit forum: “All of the tracks in the digital releases were sourced from the mono Hitsville reference mixes. Writer and producer info will be posted on an official site shortly.” He added that, “Four of the six tracks by Martha & the Vandellas that are in the Motown Unreleased 1962 ‘digital album’ will be included in the forthcoming MR&TV Singles Collection set. They will, however, be in fresh extended mixes; some in stereo.” In the meantime, you can order all six volumes of Motown Unreleased 1962 below!

Yep, one man's meat etc, etc. Save 'em for me 'cos that's the stuff I can move.......(well the good ones that is). Ian D

I'm sure Pete. I actually collect 70's promos so I've seen a few Alfie Khan's in my time. I've got some titles that I've never seen another copy of too. Also Discogs violate listings regularly if they're not the item that's listed, so those 4 are probably kosher. I'm usually pushed for time so if no one's listed a promo I'll often list one under the issue and put that it's a promo in the comments section. So I currently have around 220 removed records which are all promos which have yet to be listed on Discogs at all, so presumably they must be the rare ones....... I sold a Luther Vandross Atlantic double-sided promo of a 'B' side today for £50 to a Japanese collector, so there are some serious 70's promo collectors out there. I love 70's Atlantic promos. I think I've bought every one I've ever seen LOL.... Ian D
