Does anyone have any information on the excellent unissued track by Alexander Patten which I've heard on the Steve White show a couple of times?

It's similar to A little Lovin' and I guess was recorded at the same session.

sure there's one that fits the bill in one of andy rix refosoul 6 pacs

search should take you there

nah, just had a look its not in any of the ones up

maybe its on one of of the jazzfms rarest of the rare up

anyway andy rix be one to ask for info

alexander patton - no more dreams - soul-tbc

Its not this one is it? sort of in the same vein as a lil lovin sometimes

Isn't that the B side of A little lovin' ?

The track I heard is definitely unIssued. I wrote the title down but have lost it!! DOH!

thats the actual flip of a little loving harry

memorys a bit vague but fairly sure has been on here and something to do with mr rix

The track is called "True Love"

thanks John

Yes That's it (When I say unissued I mean at time of recording ).

Is it available ?

Don't think so

I believe it came off a master tape

I believe it was first played by Aidy I was given a cut by a very dear friend

I will be playing it at Stoke saturday night though

Alexander Patten - True Love - Unreleased

A voice to die for, brilliant

outstanding...........

First of three tracks cut by Alex at Capitol Sound studio at Vine St Hollywood

The session count in voice is my dear friend James McEachin, founder of the croup The Furys.

From the 3 tracks recorded on the sane day, Capitol decided to run with A Lil Lovin Sometimes/ No More Dreams.

I furnished the sound recording to both Alex and James a few months ago.

Truly a marvelous vocal from Alex and typical high standard production from Jimmy Mack.

Edited March 3, 201114 yr by The Golden 101

It was recorded at the 'A Lil Lovin' session in 1966 and was found, would you believe, at Abbey Road Studios in London.

It'll be getting a spin at Just Soul this Saturday, for sure.

Qualideeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Great stuff Kev.

Remarkable that tracks of this quality are still turning up after over 40 years!

Its a real stunner.

Hi Sean

I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it. Mainly because it wasn't.

It was ordered up from Capitol by my good self when I was consultant for Blue Note and for the relaunch of Stateside. It was found in the Capitol archive in Los Angeles. I was put onto it, and a list of other stuff by Ady. This must have been about 1999 or 2000.

And whilst it's a good LA stomper, it's essentially a rewrite and inferior version of 'A Lil Lovin Sometimes' isn't it?

I can vouch for all that my Rangers-supporting friend says here, before anyone else thinks about taking credit for its 'discovery'!

Ah! Another urban myth killed before it even got off the ground Dean!

I think you're right that its not quite as good as 'A Lil Lovin' Sometimes' but you can see where that iconic track got its inspiration from, with the opening line... 'True Love... Can Be So Hard To Find!'

I think its a winner no matter where it was first heard (was that Abbey Road by any chance, cos I'm sure that's the way I heard it?) and its good that its finally getting heard, out and about!

Sean

I'd heard it was Ady that found it Tony. But Dean certainly figures.

Why so long (10+ years) before plays?

Is it likely to get a release at some point?

Sean

I think it can still be said to be Ady's discovery.

Ady tipped me off to its existence, and I ordered it up. He then played it - that clip from Jazz FM is I think from 2003.

It got several plays at the hundred club where it was given a resounding shrug of the shoulders by the masses.

It may have been lost in the rush of unreleased tracks that Ady was trying to work through. I seem to remember giving him several DAT's worth of music at the time. And there is only so much that one man can do!

I think it can still be said to be Ady's discovery.

So do I, it was the 'other possible claims' that I was dismissing!

Good to see Ady, Dean and Tony behind it. Even better still, the original producer and vocalist on the session getting to hear it again.

Don't think so

I remember hearing that when A C was on Richard Searling show, look forward to hearing again Saturday at

Stoke (worth coming for that !!!)
