  1. Lorraine Silver A Catch Up and New 45 News View full article
  2. A letter from Lorraine Silver was featured in an early days article on here via Pete Smith (link at bottom), fast forward 24 years and here's what shes up to today in 2021 Had the below press release sent in to us... Lorraine Silver - Fever Raging Out Of Control - The Brand New Single Impacting 3rd December 2021 Northern Soul legend Lorraine Silver recorded Lost Summer Love when she was just 13 years old in August 1965. Whilst not a chart hit on its release, the track did become a massive anthem at the iconic Wigan Casino and was reissued on the Casino Classics label in the late 70s selling in excess of 30,000 copies. However, Lorraine knew nothing of her heroic Northern Soul status until the late 80s. 23 years after the original recording, Lorraine’s husband, agent Barry Collings, was reading Blues & Soul magazine which featured a top ten selection of favourite Northern Soul tracks that included Lost Summer Love. Lorraine called the editor and was flabbergasted to discover it really was her song. Following this, her story was told in a whole selection of Northern Soul publications. She contacted the original record company PYE and was told that the track had sold some 34,000 copies worldwide and she could claim her royalties! At around the same time Barry was involved in promoting Northern Soul weekends across the country and Lorraine was able to meet all the DJs who had been playing her record for years. She was persuaded to get up and do a couple of PA’s of Lost Summer Love much to the delight of the audience who were queueing for autographs. Since then, Lorraine’s resurrected career has gone from strength to strength, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, performances at Northern Soul events, and an appearance at the Edwin Starr Memorial Concert alongside the likes of Clem Curtis, Geno Washington, and Jaki Graham. In 2011 she was asked to join the line-up of a new touring show ‘The Mod All Star Band’ with artists she herself had idolised in the 60s including Steve Ellis and Chris Farlowe. Now, at the age of 70, Lorraine continues to perform, record, and release new material in a career that now spans an incredible 57 years. Her brand-new single Fever Raging Out Of Control was produced by legendary Northern Soul DJ Ian Levine who has also produced pop hits for Take That including ‘A Million Love Songs’ and ‘Could It Be Magic’. The final mix of the track was done by Nigel Lowis who has also worked with Burt Bacharach, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion to name just a few. And…that original recording of Lost Summer Love, has now become quite the collector’s item, with a recent copy selling on eBay for some £700.00!

  5. Mike posted a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    topic about demos here https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/422195-white-promos-of-new-releases/ best try and keep this topic to pre-order talk and use the other one for demo talk 👍
  6. memory says the files was part of a remix project memory also says that some person rather than simply ask the site team directly to drop the mp3s (that were uploaded by a member), felt fit to get universals lawyers on our backs

  22. New 45 - Last Bastion - Lou Pride - Unreleased Version of I'm Com'un Home In The Morning View full article
  23. Over last year or so you long time member @Andybellwood has been working on a new label, looking like it's all coming together as we have just had details of the first release for 2022! A limited release of a previous unreleased version of 'I’m Com’un Home In The Morn’un' recorded all the way back in 2004 Here's the blurb, flyer and can check out the video below... Sleeve Notes Clip How this release came about, was that musically, on fire and inspired by words and advice from his friend Curtis Mayfield, veteran Chicago soul/blues vocalist Lou and a backing band, visited David Earl's Severn Record studios, Maryland USA In 2004. There he recorded a treasure trove of soul for the 'Keep on Believing' (Severn Records) cd release, plus remarkably a complete remake of his 1972 Northern Soul classic 45 "I'm com'un home in the morn'un" which was originally released on El Paso (Texas) label, Suemi and now commands in excess of £7k. In addition to the full length 2004 recording which forms the flip side, the A side (also produced by David Earl) is a new Dj /radio station edit destined to be a dance floor and Northern Soul favourite. Detour Records in conjunction with Last Bastion Records brings you this Monster Northern Soul release.... Pre-Orders being accepted now for this MUST HAVE 45. RELEASE DATE IS: FRIDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2022 LOU PRIDE - I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un 7" PRESENTING..... Last Bastion Records ‘Making Music Matter’. A new indie label committed to making recordings available for the first time, on limited edition 45s. First up on our label is Lou Pride’s sensational 2004 unreleased recording of ‘I’m Com’un Home In The Morn’un” This is not a reissue of the 1970’s Suemi 45. “It's been my pleasure and privilege to have had the opportunity to release this limited edition 45 and in doing so, launch Last Bastion Records. Hopefully it's also a fitting tribute to George Louis Pride” Andy Bellwood (Last Bastion Records) Neither track has previously been committed to vinyl, with the A side previously unreleased in any format. Only 300 Copies being pressed and once they are gone they are gone! FEATURES I'm com'un home in the morn'un (Radio edit Version) I'm com'un home in the morn'un (Full Length 2004 Version) £12.00 Plus delivery via http://shop.detourrecords.co.uk/epages/es785745.sf/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es785745/Products/LOUIMC-45
