Ian Dewhirst Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Just done an exhaustive few hours but found some tremendous records along the way. So does anyone know these? I presume someone will but just interested if they've ever been on anyone's radar........ It's exhausting playing through stuff though innit? I'm knackered LOL....

Soul Shrews Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Love the Honey Cone and Originals 45s Ian got promos of both. Think they're both pretty well known. Don't know any of the others Cheers Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Don't know any of the others Cheers Paul The Andre Brasseur is a quite dated straight Northern instrumental - quite weird but definitely got something about it. The Casey & The Pressure Group is a GREAT handclapper and in my day would have been a HUGE instrumental. Never seen it before or since. The Sensational Williams Brothers is straight Northern slightly messy Gospelly type stormer - once again never seen it around. The Rhodes, Chalmers & Rhodes is simply a irresistible mid-tempo stormer - produced by Rick Hall. Some exceptional vocals and a straight-floorfiller IMO...... I figured the Honey Cone and Originals would be quite well-known but great records nonetheless. I've got a load of what I think could be 'crossover' which I'll stick up shortly - I'm still learning my way around it LOL...... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

An exceptional record IMO, sounds perfect for these days I think...... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Djmelismo Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The Sensational Williams Brothers is straight Northern slightly messy Gospelly type stormer - once again never seen it around. That must be the same group that later recorded a number of gospel/soul albums simply billed as the Williams Brothers. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

pow wow mik Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 The Casey & The Pressure Group is a GREAT handclapper and in my day would have been a HUGE instrumental. Never seen it before or since. Ian D Casey & the pressure Group is quite common and got played in Blow Up type clubs in the 90s, goes for about £15. They were a Dutch group who also did a storming version of Comin Home Baby on an LP and very elusive Dutch only 45. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It's amazing how much of that stuff I'm finding on my shelves. The reason I always kept it is 'cos I just liked the look of it! It looks GREAT! Who could resist that LOL...... Cheers Mik.

Ian Dewhirst Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 ==== keep em coming ian!! Next load coming up shortly mate - just another 100 or so to wade through today. I'm actually dividing up a lot of stuff because predictably I've got lots of oddball gear. I seem to have a lot of early 80's stuff which they collect over in France and Belgium and I'm finding enough to keep that scene going for another few years LOL.... It's been a bit slow on the Northern/Crossover side but I'm still finding some interesting gear. Best thing today? A Garland Green double-sider on Spring which I never realised was so good........
