Got me stumped -but would not be surprised if there did exsist BOLADIAN was first and foremost a Gospel person hence the hits he had on the label with the Clarke Sisters etc,I understand he still does re-issues of his back catalogue also? The push on the gospel stuff was definetly influenced by Martha Jean Steinberg -[the queen]who as youll know had a strong influence via CKLW across the river in Ohio.

CKLW was in Windsor, Ontario across the river from Detroit. All of northen Ohio could hear it across Lake Erie. Listened to it often from 1969-72

BTW this is of course NOT the Bill Moss from Columbus, OH of Capsoul (and Bell) records fame.

the lp exists, the question is whether the 45s exist though.

Carl, thanks for the info I'll check with Tom later, I checked on the other unreleased Westbounds with him.

PS couldn't work out how to reply to your SS message

get the scans up Ady for the anoraks among us -if you get the time mate!!! Always had the suspicion there were put out!!

Hmmm, only one I seem to have is a gray promo copy of 184...not one you're looking for. Thought I might have another, but it ain't turning up....

I was ready to write them off but my a friend remembered having one or both probably twenty years ago. not sure if he has a scanner or a camera though.

That'll be tough Baz, the owner is 100% true but about 10% technological!

OK, so the story is: the Bill Moss gospel 45s are 040, 041 and 044, it's a separate series which in a discography had the 1 added erroneously at some stage. 040 came out in 73 and 044 in 74. So the first Westbound release was Emmanuel Laskey 'More Love' in 1969.

that makes sense since the LP was clearly later
