Can somebody tell me what the disc was please?

Thanks Steve

Any sound for the Classic Example cut heard the other side on facebook ? 

Is this years a good one? Love classic example so hopefully that will be a good one, are Kent going to put this into Kent select do you think?

 Don't go the the 100 club anymore, so don’t need the first press…

Having not attended for quite a few years I was hoping to go!!

But due to not following things properly I was too late for the ballot. Doh!!

I hope it was a good night.

One short in my collection now!

Just looking at this 'Classic Example' track, says 72, and produced by Curtis Colbert, he has writing credits on   'Hey There Little Girl / Thats Groovy' their GSF release..  I do love that 45, can't wait to her this one...

Just found this on Youtube.

Please remove if not allowed.

Both side are great but ' classic example' is simply amazing and must surly go in the same direction as Carla, Ben e king and the Paramount four. 

agree, its a great release, especially the classic example 🙂 god its fabulous, how did they release 'Kinda Groovy' over that?

Edited September 20, 20214 yr by Mal C

Another great release especially 

"The Classic Example"

Enjoy it those lucky enough to have attended. 

Classic Example "Right On"..... more like spot on.... stunning track!

And the band were ?

Listened to a preview in tinny headphones at work today. Just home and now getting the full audio experience. Fab double sider. Classic Example is the pick. On re-listening to the Sherilles, that high pitch chorus is a classic 6T's riff,  love it.

The Sherilles - She's Gonna Make it, is this a cover, or loosely based around another well known track? cant help but feel I've nearly heard this before?  I know they got all manner of songs given to them, some of which had very famous 'other' versions, 'You Could Be My Remedy' is a good example of Trade Martin's classic that they did.

Is it 'The Lovelites - My Conscience' something like that?  I know these lyrics, just cant place them..

The Shirelles track reminds me of Vessie Simmons- I can make it on my own.

Thanks Ady I bought the LP many moons ago and like this Blog had no idea who they actually were and I should have guessed Curtis but always doubted myself

Vessie Simmons did appear as Vessie Simmons & The Fabulous Shirelles. The case (fraud) went to court, Vessie was acquitted but her manager Charles Cascales was convicted of mail fraud. sending out brochures and photo's depicting just The Shirelles.

Be nice if there's a bit of a revival of the Vessie Simmons track, fantastic 70's dancer, deserves to up there with king Tut, flaming king ect with true classic status.

always thought it was up there, it's a better record than King Tut,  maybe this way the price will stay low so folks new it can get a copy easily...  at least dealers cant say "Discussed on Soul Source" and whack the price up.... a novel thought... laughing

Anybody have some info on The Sherilles ?

I am sure Ady has another track or theirs "nobody's gonna love you".
Heard it from some of his FB 100 Club lockdown live shows - or am I dreaming ?
Pretty damn amazing as I recall.

It happened with the Paramount four on southern city, ok, it's rarer, but it certainly got more attention after,

@Ady Croasdell-The Record(New Jersey) June 1975.

BTW -Charles Cascales aka Charles Cabot 'oversealous agent/mgr' had done it on at least 2 occasions

Confused of Banbury here.

Are Ady's Sherilles the same group as The Shirelles ?
From the thread and peeps comments it seems they are.

T.

Chuckle 

I was similarly confused but didn't want to ask the obvious question and look an idiot(as usual)!

All is now clear (I think).

Great info, that’s when I’d have guessed it was recorded. Now to establish if it’s Vessie singing? I reckon she used it later and “forgot” to credit George Semper

No, they’re a group containing Vessie Simmons from the West Coast, produced by George Semper who changed their name to the Sherrills when they got their wrists slapped

Ady, thank you very much for the definitive answer here.
 

T.

I forgot (age) that I had started a thread and it had some of the info we have been discussing

I wonder who the other ladies were ?

The image was from Ebay a while ago

It's a great double-sider.  For me Sherilles side wins. What a tune. Gets better with every play.

it's a great doublesider, hard to pick a favourite. A worthy memento of a great night.

Great info about the fake Shirelles, never knew that. Steve
