Been told this is a boot,or was it booted?I know it also came out on Volt so just wondering what label to get this on.

Clock is ticking ...

AS far as I know Ovide is the first issue.

https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/ovide.htm

and probably twice the price of a volt copy altho years ago there was not a lot in it..never booted as far as i know and i think its only on the volt issue

and Wayne it is TORONADOES !!!

I have seen them credited as TORONADOS (same spelling as the car) but are they credited anywhere as Tornado(e)s?

Mike, as far as I'm aware it's Toronados named after their favourite car the Oldsmobile Toronado.

Searching google images for TSU OVIDE provides plenty of scans and it seems to be OS or OES with near equal measure.

This Volt issue has Tornadoes which I believe is simply an easy to make mis-spelling

Might be why i can`t find a copy Mike lol...Hope your well,see ya next month at Essence for our yearly chats.

Steve, great stuff. Enjoying it

Cheers Dave, think the most revealing non TSU T's story was the Jackie Wilson story Cal told - being arrested for picking up a white girl.....

Here's a couple on Popsike:

However I've bid on a few copies on E-bay, and 50 quid hasn't been enough.

There's a great compilation available on CD and MP3 download at:

Funky Delicacies (a division of Tuff City Records) also released an LP in 1999 called "And now... the t.s.u. toronados". Tracks include "A thousand wonders", "What good am I" and "I still love you".

The label is Ovide, but don't know if this is a reissue (never seen an original if it is) or a compilation.

I picked mine up in one of those second hand records stores on Berwick Street a couple of years ago for £12, so not rare but nice to have for the tunes.

One on here,

Steve,i can never have enough of your records lol . Hope your well fella?Big thx for all your replies,good news is someone has sorted me a Volt copy.P.s How do you put up smiling faces?

The volt issue pops up a lot more than Ovide. I got an excellent price on my Ovide issue which funded something nice (didnt see the point in keeping both)!! Cheaper Volt issue still in my box, but that's staying..........unless i source an Ovide issue at a good price and then they'll switch places again

Think there`s been a bit of confusion here: I know the Volt wasn`t booted but was the Ovide?I have something else on that label which is Orange and if memory serves last one on ebay was same colour.Someone told me he seen a Green/Ovide copy which sounds dodgy??

Not heard of the Ovide copy being booted ? and not seen a green copy of on Ovide ? Would like to see one if anyone has a scan

Wayne, don't believe it has been booted.

i didn`t think so,Looks like we will have plenty to talk about Steve(like some of the tracks you have played on the radio) when i see ya at Essence.
