New 45 - Rose Marie McCoy & Helen Miller - North Broad St Records
News just in from Colin Law aka @Lawman about the second North Broad St Release... Rose Marie McCoy & Helen Miller - Teardrops and Heartaches - North Broad St Records NBS002BL We have hooked up with Mind UK, the Mental Health Charity, where we will be donating from the profits from this release. Rose Marie McCoy & Helen Miller were highly respected song writers. The Brill Building in the New York offices was mainly where they both worked together. Travelling back and forward to Detroit, where they worked with Golden World and Revilot, iconic northern soul label, with credits appearing on, Our Love is in the Pocket, I’m Spellbound and many others. They both also worked with Maxine Brown, Freddie Scott, Jerry Butler and Chuck Jackson who worked at Sceptre-Wand. They also provided several of the songs for Lenny Welch, Sarah Vaughan, Tommy Hunt including many others. Teardrops Heartaches is presented from a McCoy and Miller demo acetate, more than likely for one of the above artists, unfortunately never released until now. We have re-engineered the demo to achieve the best quality from the recording, and once again our engineer has done us proud. The massive powerful slab of midtempo monster I personally see as you enter at the end of the set, a true all-nighter in Britain or Europe, It is that good, I hope you all agree Bruce Cloud – Where did we go wrong - North Broad St Records NBS002BL The reason we have chosen the Mind UK Charity is for personal reasons as well as Bruce himself. His story touched us with the words to his last song being very sad. This was his last ever recording in the studio, yet again another unreleased track. He did have a couple of northern soul hits on Era and an album track. Unfortunately, Bruce suffered from mental health issues which led to him becoming disillusioned with the music industry and he gave up recording music, going on to work in a chemist until he sadly took his own life. Sadly, a good friend of mine who was heavily involved within the soul scene we all love, also tragically took his own life. I feel this record is a poignant reminder to talk to your family and friends, its ok not to be ok. Video Trailer Available via North Broad Street Records website Current release date scheduled early December 2020 https://www.northbroadst.co.uk edit: release date added by site

More Source 6 Pacs from 2001 onwards
Following on from our recent trip to the Soul Source archives last month (see previous article), here's a few more 6 Pacs that needed bringing back online and then archiving .... 2 x 6-pacs from Irish Greg, Carl Fortnum and Alan H 2001 Dome - CSC 6 pacs galore Notes below all from that time... 2001 Posted on Monday, September 24 2001 @ 20:06:33 BST Topic: Soul Sounds Soul Sounds Yeah its that time again, time for one of the premier soul nites around, CSC friday nite bash at the Dome London. To get you in the mood (or let you know what you're missing) have put together 2 x 6-pacs from Irish Greg, Carl Fortnum and Alan H Session 1 Anita Anderson - Secretly - Contact Bogus Chimes - I think you find-Champ Dee and Floo -This or That - Dee Wolf prod Tony Clarke - No Conception -MS Martha Starr - Sweet Temptation - Charay Eddie Campell -Contagious Love-Artco Session 2 Johnny Watson - Cause I love you - cover up Shadows -This is not the end-Audio Unlimited Tammi Levon - Clothes dont make a man - Nation Fawns - Nothing but love can save me - Cap City Chances - It takes more than love alone- Bea Baby Eddie King & Mae B May - Please Mr Dj ------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick "Driveller" Brown Sessions 2001 Notes below all from that time... 2001 To coincide with the forthcoming Notre Dame event on Feb 16th at Leicester Square London, we have the fortune to have two great session's selected by your man Nick "Driveller" Brown, promoter and dj at the event which is happening on the 16 Feb 2001. Session 1 PIC AND BILL : WHAT DOES IT TAKE (CHARAY) Merciless northern soul scorcher that's remained inexplicably unknown till now. another spot-on killer from the best male duo in soul music. DOC &THE INTERNS : THE LOVE THAT YOU GIVE (EDGEWOOD ACETATE) Thunderous dc floorshaker, presumably recorded for now but left in the backroom. Absolutely made for the scene, with its piledriver beat, wall-quaking bass and football-chant chorus. It's even got a bit near the end for the acrobats to show off their stuff. Did they know something? MARGARET MANDOLPH: If You Ever Need Me (PLANETARY) One of four excellent sides Margaret recorded for Planetary. This is from the earlier 45, from November '64, and is a lovely, atmospheric mid-tempo stepper. EDDIE GILES: Losing Boy (MUCRO) Unbelievably, a big hit with the ravers at the Heavenly Social a few years ago, but virtually unknown on the Northern scene. If you're quick, you might still get this cheap, so look out for this driving, staxy mid-pacer with its air of chin-up determination and gritted-teeth optimism. Builds like a skyscraper. SHIRLEY EDWARDS: Dream My Heart ( SHRINE) The version originally used for the single, for the benefit of those who have only heard it on the CD. My number one all-time favourite record of any sort, EVER! ANITA ANDERSON: Secretly (CONTACT) Flip of the wonderful "Little Bit Longer", and often cited as being the more "Northern" side. Here's a chance to hear it if you haven't yet. Check out the 3-D echo on that break! SESSION 2 THE FOUR REPUTATIONS: Call On Me (MILLAGE) Definitely NOT the same record as the Presentations, despite what people say on their sales lists! A pressing plant slip-up meant this never got a release but thank goodness SOME of the copies escaped the crusher! Absolutely perfect allnighter Soul. THE EXCEPTIONS: Baby You Know I Need You (IMPACT SOUND acetate) A cross over in-demander on its 68 release on Groovey Grooves, but this is the unreleased original version from 66 and it KICKS!!!! the classic sound of mid 60s Philly epitomised in two minutes of dancefloor dynamite! JEAN DU SHON: It Won't Stop Hurting Me (LENNOX) Her okeh piece is going seriously big with the r+b fans , but I've always rated this as her best moment. Sophisticated Big City Soul with just a touch of raw edge, all wrapped up in a smooth, mid tempo flow of impassioned yearning. Had a couple of copies in the 80s , but haven't seen another for about 10 years. Serious class GALLAHADS : I've Got To Find A Way (BEECHWOOD) Irrepressible group dancer bursting with energy and sprirt, plus that irresistable "wait for it " intro. Been a popular sound with the newies crowd for a good few years, but this i one's real day is still to come. DON AND JUAN: All That's Missing Is You (MALA) Tasty portion of Early Soul from the ever reliable Claude and Roland. Highly rated by many since the Stafford era, but it's another one that's still waiting for the exposure it needs to make it cross over TRANELLS: My Love - (Cover-up) One of those raw primitive recording that you take one listen to and you just KNOW how rare it is but once you cut through the three layers of carpet around the microphone and the tin bath it was recorded in , you've got a relentlessly hypnotic dancer tat drives along on a insistent hook and boasts a creditably sound vocal. Puts me in mind of a group reworking of Silky Hargreaves "Hurt by Love". Hauntingly atmospheric with an addictive riff. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Irish Greg - A 12 Pac From September 2003 A double 6 pac as in twelve quality tracks rather than the six from Irish Greg notes below from that time... 2003 1.Ocar Perry - Face Reality - Feron £500 one. A very rare disc and got some spins at Stafford. Get Hunting on Ebay! 2. Explosive Dynamiks - Whole Lotta Love - Leirco Current CSC monster - see "Carefree" review edition one 3. Starlighters - I never Thought -Durimen Future monster so get hunting for this uptempo beauty value ?? £150 plus 4. Johnny McCall - I need You - Alteen One of current csc spins from Flynny, value 70+ one day this will be massive 5. Jobetters - No Explanation - Kevin Value £40 Dont know much about this one just that its got it all plus B-side 6. Steelers - Just Begining To Love you - Crash see "Carefree" review 7. OV Wright - Nerve To Cry - Backbeat lp see carefree review 8 Jesse Davis - Never For Your Love - Cover up Current Paul McNamara spin 9. Blenders - Tale Of Sadness -DJO £100 Chicago I think -semi known 10. Fenways - The Fight -Blue Cat £30 (Get it quick) A record that will go if djs spin it. Remind me of shrine - enough said? 11. Jobettes - What You Going To Do - Kevin Flipside to "no explanation" and for £40 you just cant be wrong 12. Johnny De'Vigne - I Smell Trouble - Delite Highly in demand but very rarely heard expect when spun by Dave Holt and Paul Baldwin (£80+) Plus could be speeded up a bit more. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats that, three from 2001 and a double one from 2003 All the above 6 Pacs and the previous ones featured in the earlier article are now stored on mixcloud. Hope you enjoyed this revisit as much as I did!
