Midas Touch.... Updated...reduced...updated


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Welcome along to list 46. The list is a little later than usual due to me been on hols in the States, had a great time and even found time for a bit of record shopping!

Due to increased costs i will be restricting the number of free sales Cds I`m sending out for future lists. To be sure of receiving a sales Cd please subscribe, it only costs £5.00 (worldwide) for 3 monthly Cds, which just about covers the cost of discs and postage. The Cds feature a sample of around 60 of the tracks from the main list, giving you first chance to buy the tracks you want and also enabling you to hear some tunes that may be new to you. I accept paypal to the usual address or you can send a cheque/ cash to the address listed below. Customers who buy every month will recieve the discs as normal.

Grading is as follows......

M Faultless/ Probably unplayed

E Few light marks, still a nice copy

vg More marks, maybe some surface noise but plays thru ok

I will also use + or minus to indicate grades in more detail. I also offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with any record for any reason, so please buy with confidence.

Payment, I accept paypal to this address chris.soul@btinternet.com or you can send cash/ cheque to; Chris Anderton, 1 jackson Av, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 6LL. Postage costs are... £1.90 recorded (only insured up to £34) or £5.20 by special delivery in the Uk (fully insured up to £1000). Overseas £2.00 airmail or £5.20 signed for airmail, ask if you need insurance.

Events this month, I will be guesting at the White Bull in Gisburn on Friday 18th July. Musical policy is 70s/crossover, I`m really looking forward to this, heard some great things about the venue. The Three Greyhounds is currently taking its anual break but returns in September with some fantastic guests lined up plus the usual dodgy residents! The next date at Willington will be July 19th, always a good night there.

61.Harold Melvin-Reaching for the world- ABC E 8

62.Teddy Pendergrass-You must live on-PIR E+ 15

63.Teddy Pendergrass-Do me-PIR E+ 15

64.Teddy Pendergrass- Where did all the loving go-PIR E+ 15

(This guy can do no wrong in my book...4 awesome tunes)

Chris,

By the time of the fantastic "Reaching For The World" on ABC , Teddy Pendergrass had left the Blue Notes after his well publicised disagreement with Harold Melvin ....

I believe his replacement David Ebo sang lead on "Reaching For The World" which was every bit as good a record as anything Teddy Pendergrass sang lead on.

Ebo had as much vocal talent as Pendergrass and had circumstances been different he could have continued to carry the

group at the top of the charts in the same way that Dennis Edwards did with the Temptations when he replaced David Ruffin.

Pendergrass went on to solo stardom of course and the Blue Notes splintered into two groups - Harold Melvin put a new set of Blue Notes together and recorded for ABC Records (including Reaching For The World) as "Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes" while the others - who were original members from the 60's incarnation of the Blue Notes and who claimed they had as much right to the name "Blue Notes" as Harold Melvin - went off and recorded that great album on the Glades label out of Miami as just "The Blue Notes".

There was much conjecture at the time in Blues and Soul and Black Music magazines as to who caused the big split and which member went where afterwards ....

As one of soul music's greatest groups, there seems to be precious little biographical detail on Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes - especially before they struck it big at Philadelphia International in 1971 - and it would be interesting to see a complete family tree and discography of the group from their inception in the late 50's through the 60's especially in light of the fact that Get Out on Landa and What Can A Man Do on Arctic are Northern soul classics.

In fact does anyone know of any other 60's records by the group other than the abovementioned ones on Landa and Arctic and one (or more) on Uni ?

:lol:
