hey no takers? here are then now sold out on vinyl though told later repress planned Bobby Harden & the Soulful Saints "Feels So Good" / "Wounded Hearts" From our friends at Dala Records: Bobby Harden & The Soulful Saints are back with their new 45, “Feels So Good” b/w “Wounded Hearts,” the follow-up to their wildly popular debut single, “Runnin' (To Get To Your Love).” The A-side, “Feels So Good,” is the song we all need right now - an upbeat soul groove perfectly suited to soundtrack the better days ahead. The B-side, “Wounded Hearts,” is a deep ballad layered with strings and fuzz guitar and could have been a lost Curtis Mayfield single.

last 24 hours before closure looking like The Dells has got it though a decent race for second place So your vote can still count 😉

These Memories - Rare Soul Gems (LP) - Outta Sight Records View full article
-
Word of a new vinyl lp from Outta Sight Records, details follow below THESE MEMORIES - Rare Soul Gems OSVLP026 Company Blurb Memories of the rare soul scene are manifold but this timeless collection goes right to the heart and soul of the scene and is perhaps best summed up by the emotive title track “These Memories” by Almeta Lattimore. You really don’t need any other reason to buy this album, but how about Corey Blake’s £1,000+ collector’s-piece “How Can I Go On Without You”, which has evaded compilation for over twenty years. Equally rare is Billy Harner’s “I Got It From Heaven”, recorded and produced in 1976 by ‘Sound Gems’ label boss Frank Fioravanti. It was discovered, soon after release, by Richard Searling and covered-up as Bobby Hutton for exclusive plays on his Saturday/Sunday DJ sets at Wigan Casino. ‘Sound Gems’ also provides us with another dance floor anthem: “You’re My Main Squeeze” by Crystal Motion. Side One ends with another Richard Searling cover-up courtesy of Motown’s country & western-tinged “Can’t Stop A Man In Love” by Reuben Howell (aka Sandy Linzer). Appropritely, Richard selected this very track to end his last ever All-Nighter DJ set at the Kings Hall, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunday 22nd September 2019. What a record! Side Two is no slouch either, kicking off with our title track, followed by the first ever independent release of Daybreak’s in-demand “I Need Love”. Eddie Owen (aka Eddie Billups) delivers his 1977 reinvention of the anthemic “Shake Off That Dream” while Tom Moulton works his magic on Love Committee’s “Tired Of Being Your Fool”. We end with our second visit to Motown for the wonderful – unreleased – “My Baby Moves Me” by Brenda Holloway.. “Come And Get These Memories!” SIDE 1 Corey Blake - How Can I Go On Without You Freddie Terrell & The Blue Rhythm Band - You Had It Made Barrett Strong - Man Up In The Sky Billy Harner - I Got It From Heaven Sydney Joe Qualls - I Don’t Do This (To Every Girl I Meet) Crystal Motion - You’re My Main Squeeze (Part 1) Reuben Howell - Can’t Stop A Man In Love SIDE 2 Almeta Lattimore - These Memories Daybreak - I Need Love Eddie Owen - Shake Off That Dream Love Committee - Tired Of Being Your Fool Sonya Spence - Let Love Flow On Brenda Holloway - My Baby Moves Me Availability Available now from Outta Sight Records (tap to visit) and other online stores -

New MD Records 45s - Honey And The Bees - John Bowie - Sam Reed Band View full article

News on two recent releases from MD Records, both featuring tracks of a previously unreleased on vinyl status, details and audio clips below Honey and The Bees - Don't Hurt Me ( I Just Wanna Be Loved) / Sam Reed Studio Band - Call On Me (Instrumental) - MD Records 116 Honey and the Bees drop what is a stunning example of girly Philly soul right from the get go. We’ve left the studio count in place where you can hear Leroy count the girls in and you can also hear him on the keyboards, the track was lightly remastered by the magic touch of both Frank himself and then JJ at Golden mastering to make sure we had it spot on for modern vinyl production methods. Listen: Honey And The Bees – Don’t Hurt Me Your browser does not support the audio element. Flip the 45 over and be prepared for a monster of a northern instrumental. The Persionettes 45 is a marvelous vocal northern classic and this instrumental track holds its own in a very different way. For those that love the historic instrumentals this is pretty much a must have 45 for this side alone. Listen: Sam Reed Studio Band - Call On Me (Instrumental) Your browser does not support the audio element. John Bowie - Help Me Pretty Baby / You’re Gonna Miss A Good Thing (Audition Version) - MD Records 115 Hailing from the days when John moved on from the Philadelphians and hooked up with Merben out of New Jersey. The outcome of this new recording relationship was the release of “Youre gonna miss a good thing” b/w “At the end of the day”. Following our collaboration work with Kevin Fingier on some other tracks, we played him the unrestored takes and asked for his opinion. Needless to say he was pretty excited by the tracks and wanted to see if he could bring them back to there full glory. Between Kevin and JJ at Golden mastering they have done a brilliant job of working with the masters to get a great sound quality without any additional changes to the tracks. We are pleased to deliver both tracks back-to-back on a 45 for your listening pleasure. The thumping “Help me pretty baby” screams out of the starting blocks with the brass working overtime to punctuate the classic bouncing bass line. Johns’ pleading vocals beautifully threaded through both, delivering his message to the echo of the backing singers. Listen: John Bowie – Help Me Pretty Baby Your browser does not support the audio element. Flip it over and you get a moody audition take of “You’re gonna miss a good thing”. This version is raw and darker than the released version, its also got that heavier Hammond style keyboard in support of the baseline, but without the high and light glockenspiel type keyboard of the released version. In an article written for Scoop newspaper in Philly, it was said that Big John had died from a robbery attempt at a gas station where he worked. This article was dated in the 1998 and had the approximate date of death about 1985. Just another example of the pointless loss of great talent in the soul world. Listen: John Bowie – You're Gonna Miss A Good Thing Your browser does not support the audio element.
