Funky Way - Venture Records 1967-1969 - Calvin Arnold CDKENM 528 A new album release from Kent Records, just released and the release notes follow below Release Notes This is the first album of Mickey Stevenson’s Venture material. ‘Funky Way’ was the label’s first release and a hit in 1967, despite limited airplay due to having the word “funky” in the title. It went on to become an early funk classic, covered by Rufus Thomas for Stax, Tommy Strand for Fame, Jimmy Bee for Kent, Ray Johnson and others. Though mainly recorded in Los Angeles, Calvin Arnold was a southern soul singer from Atlanta, Georgia and the material is in that vein – there are Mighty Hannibal produced tracks, recorded in Atlanta. Apart from the eight released sides, Mickey Stevenson’s tapes have provided five previously unreleased numbers including the up-tempo mover ‘Your Love Is Too Much’ and the superb southern funk grooves of ‘Trying To Fly My Kite (In Rainy Weather)’ and ‘Fool Me Baby’. The package features never before seen photos and a 5,000-word biography of the revered singer from Atlanta musicologist Brian Poust.

Soul Directions next upcoming release goes like this... Release Notes Soul Direction Records are pleased to announce the next release in the catalogue. Wee – “Trying To Tell You How I Feel” / “We Could Get It Together” SD022 Pre-Order from Friday 26th January for release date 5th February 2024. Both tracks “We Could Get It Together” & “Trying to Tell You How I Feel” featured in this latest Soul Direction outing were part of a master tape of unreleased tracks that never saw an addition to the album but came to light on a 2008 Numero LP. They were slightly remixed for the album, “We Could Get It Together” More so, but we are releasing the original tracks which came from the master tape which have never been released in this way before. The group from Columbus Ohio were active from around 1974 to 1978 and consisted of the following members: Benji Harris, Bimbo Brown, Norman Whiteside, Spanky Jones, Vick Martin. Wee mastermind Norman Whiteside was born and lived in an entirely different Columbus than Capsoul’s Bill Moss or Prix’s Clem Price. His career was later derailed by a three-decade stretch in prison. He was released on Parole on the 1st September 2016. Owl recording Studios was the brainchild of Youngstown Ohio’s Tom Murphy. Tom moved to Columbus Ohio after high school and began assembling equipment in 1972 with partners Don Kyre and Mike Wheeler who had played in a Columbus band called The EbbTides. In September of 1972, Mike Wheeler was playing guitar with Osiris, and Tom brought his recording equipment to their gig (at Mr. Brown’s Descent near Ohio State University) and recorded them. That introduced Tom to Osiris members Sterling Smith, Dan Lawson, and Dave Hessler, who would later become partners/ stockholders in Owl. Tom Murphy’s passion for recording evolved into what is now “Track Record”, a very successful studio in North Hollywood, California. Robin Jenney went on to engineer a number of platinum selling R & B records for the likes or Roger Troutman and Zapp. Scans Videos Both tracks “We Could Get It Together” & “Trying to Tell You How I Feel” featured in this latest Soul Direction outing were part of a master tape of unreleased tracks that never saw an addition to the album, but came to light on a 2008 Numero LP.

Mark B from Big Man Records has passed on news all about an upcoming book from Sharon McMahan Going by the title it could be an interesting one, due out on Feb 12th, details and link below The Last Note: A Northern Soul Classic... the Stories Behind the Songs! by Sharon McMahan About the Author SHARON MCMAHAN SONGWRITER / ARTIST / PUBLISHER / PRODUCER Sharon was born in Sevierville, Tennessee but raised and musically disciplined in Detroit, Michigan. Sharon began her career, as a teen in Detroit, Michigan. She wrote her first songs at the age of 12. After auditioning her, Ollie McLaughlin launched her writing career by publishing and producing and releasing several of her songs on his own record lables, KAREN, CARLA, MOIRA & RUTH Records. McLaughlin recorded Sharons songs on major artists, Barbara Lewis, Deon Jackson, Gracie Darnell and Johnnie Mae Matthews. He also secured a UK release for Sharon's song, Someday We're Gonna Love Again, recorded by the London based group, The Searchers. It charted to #11 in Billboard, in several countries and to #23 here in the United States, in 1964/65. Thus, Sharon has a tremendous fan base in the UK and Western Europe. Later, another Detroit based publisher/producer became familiar with Sharons writing skills. He was Don Davis, producer of Johnnie Taylor, executive producer of The Dramatics and many more artists. He recorded Sharons songs on current Hall of Fame artists, Etta James and Mavis Staples. He was also responsible for Sharons song to be recorded and released on The Three Degrees. In 1973 Sharon was signed to Columbia Records as a writer/artist, under the direction of then president, Clive Davis. Her released single was titled, Get Out Of My Life, produced by Toxey French, who arranged the rhythm section. The strings and horns arranged by Philly master arranger, Bobby Martin. Sharon was later associated with Benny Golson, jazz composer and musician. He included one of her songs on his Columbia Records album. The song title is Love Is The Key.The album title, I'm Always Dancing To The Music. In the late 1980's, Sharon was introduced to Elvis Presley, songwriter, Otis Blackwell. He recorded and released a McMahan song titled, I'm Happy Just The Way I Am, on his own Bullion record label. In 2007, Sharon released a CD of original songs with herself as artist. The CD was titled, Somebody Else. It was released on CDBABY and It is still available in digital downloads. In June 2015, Sharon was invited to perform in London, England (UK) at the Beachcomber Holiday Centre in Cleethorpes. She was invited to sing several of the songs she wrote in the 1960's for other artists during her teens. Most of the songs she performed that night, she had never performed for anyone before. She was well received and musically embraced by lovers of Northern Soul. Sharon continues to work in association with the crafts loves. Her favorite quote: THE JOY IS IN THE JOURNEY Product details ASIN : B0CR5TBSLQ Publisher : Bookbaby (12 Feb. 2024) Language : English Paperback : 238 pages ISBN-13 : 979-8218326388 Link https://amzn.to/3S6Gp11 -

it was mentioned by name in the full programme, as been said earlier The link to the show is up in the first post, you can catch a listen to it all via the link At a guess I'd say some are basing their thoughts/views on a instagram flyer type video clip for the show rather than the actual show that was broadcast
