Northern Soul Connections #31
Colstar label, FIRE, VIP's, Magicians
A San Francisco Pop Festival that never happened, an associated album of that festival that didn't have the artists perform who were credited on it, and a Kiwi mod behind it.
Upfront. I'm genuinely fond of the people and company's written about in this piece. Non of what is written is intended to demean or embarrass any of them. It's just an interesting set of connections.
For me, It all started when i came across an Oct 1967 photo of the VIP's and then a February 1967 Californian newspaper article noting their release on Colstar of 'Freedom /I'm Good ForYou'.
Umm ...I've seen this waxed pairing before. Where?
Yes.
I'd seen it on a Discogs album titled 'San Francisco International Pop Festival (Volume 1)' and also followed the thread started in 2015 at 45cat.com, as catalogue 45-1006, artist FIRE, The Sound Of San Francisco.

Ken retired early at the age of 62 in 2016, giving him the opportunity to pursue a long-held passion, uncovering the hidden identities behind Northern Soul’s A&R men and women, labels, writers, and producers. A self-described “re-tread” or “returnee,” Ken originally left the scene in 1975 but later returned with renewed enthusiasm. He is the author of the long-running and highly informative Northern Connections article series here on Soul Source.
