Yes, loads of it.....much of it thankfully now released on Kent CDs...An hour on their website should give you a perspective on this topic....

Actually, given how much stuff Kent have put out from the two labels, there is surprisingly little previously unreleased stuff.

There was an independently produced Jimmy Radcliffe cd released about 6 years ago with demos and unissued tracks from his Musicor years

Dean Parish, did this not make it to cd?

Hi Pete,

 

I picked this one up a few years ago.  There are some excellent tracks on it.

I am also pretty certain that although they have issue numbers there are several records on Dynamo that I've never even seen. 

I always liked S.O.U.L. and the group's releases (fine Cleveland soul, some cuts with a jazzy edge).

Got a copy of their Musicor 45 ("The Jones" -- Musicor 1500) from October 74 and their Dynamo 45 ("I Need Somebody To Love" -- Dynamo 6004) from 1975 many many years ago. Never considered either at all rare though single releases on both those labels were sporadic back in those years ....

..... remember Ady asking me about the Dynamo 45 and him inferring it was rarish but still not at all sure that is the case.

I would guess that there were more S.O.U.L. tracks cut around the mid 70's and always wanted to hear any that existed.   

An absolute killer track on Musicor(new talent)which Carl Fortnum is currently featuring is Bob Soprano"hey girls",out and out northern,definately worth a look.

The Bob Soprano 45 was cut up in Boston at Joe Saia's Triple A Studios on Dorchester Avenue.

Saia had also managed Teddy & the Pandas, a local garage band that were signed to Musicor by Boston based A&R guy Bruce Patch. Patch worked with Musicor Records and so was probably the link between Bob Soprano and the record label. It was Patch's job to get local radio DJ's to play the records he was pushing on behalf of Musicor (& other labels). 

Joe Saia also worked with local radio DJ (& record store owner) Skippy White. Skippy ran a number of locally based labels (Wild, Stop, Silver Cross, My Records, Bluestown) as well as Mass Record Distributors. Skippy White was a DJ at WILD in Boston in the 60's and this radio station had broadcast both Italian language shows and R&B music shows up to 1967. It therefore seems likely that WILD & / or Skippy White were also involved with Bob Soprano landing his 45 release on Musicor.  

 

Incidentally Jackie Shane ("Any Other Way" on Cookin' & Sue) also cut with Skippy White for his Stop Records label.

I think some of the Tommy Hunt unreleased we thought were Scepter may have been Dynamo.

 

I'm also pretty sure there are a few other odds and sods dotted around old Kent LPs and some Ace girl group things

A bit of a stupid question but Ady were there many tracks sung in Latin ? the reason I ask this is some time ago when I was in France I heard Jimmy Radcliffe long after tonight sung in what sounded like Italian or Spanish or something like that  (was in a super market by the way ) certainly sounded like him regards Simon.

It's the Italian version we found aND put out on the Magic Touch CD CDKEND 146. I'm impressed it made it onto a supermarket's playlist. I'd think the manager was a fan.

Thanks Ady I never buy c.d's so have no way of knowing what's available on them regards .S.

I may be having a senior moment here, but wasn't the Reactions - 'Live my life' supposed to have been issued on Dynamo ? I've only ever seen it on Sanfris so maybe no Dynamo release, or maybe it has and I've just not been paying attention 8-))
