Jazz Fusion? CTI ? Hubert Laws Chicago Theme, Benson Good King Bad, any Prestige. Blue Note? LA pressings (solid blue lable) Donald Byrd, Ronnie Laws etc. I used to collect a lot of that stuff back in the day wasn't anything there by PACIFIC EARDRUM was there ?

There is a brilliant live version of this on the Its Your World album about 11 mins long with some really great sax in it Grandma's Hands Lady Day and John Coltrane Pieces of A Man

His name will always be synomynous with ' The Bottle ' but I rate his vocals on many other tunes anybody else feel the same?

Rosetta are you better, are you well,well,well ?........Well?

Reception on Skys a bit crappy today but I like what Ive heard so far

White lable Columbia LPs Willie Bobo, Tyrone Davis,Lonnie Liston Smith etc. got loads from there Happy Days Indeed !!!!!

Anyone got any old lists they'd like to post? They'd be very interesting

I think theres definitely a link between what was being played out and what appeared on the current soul bowl list, The first 4-5 records listed on the first page(the ones that didn't need reserving by phone) for around £2-£5. where mostly 'modern' spins I got Diane Jenkins and Josie Jo's vibes amongst others from there. List used to arrive on a thursday (payday) used to read it on the way to work and rush to the nearest phone box (no mobiles) I think I called in sick a couple of times to get that main want!!!!! Point is Soul Bowl lists good reference point? I'm sure they used to have comments next to them ,ie Mecca spin ect.

Wasn't the LTG Exchange version of this played also? Chicago Theme(love loop) from the CTI album about the same time as Supership and WADADM Esther Phillips Perhaps a side thread for album tracks played at the Mecca?

SUPERB, well worth the wait.I'll take one

Gasher Chris Anderton Phil B Moore 752 Diggers Gold Soulful Mouse Big Chris Ady Pountain Ben Summers Mark Res Big Thanks Guys John

Great Thread this, 7even the loser, the Trip what memory joggers they are but I have to thank the guy who mentioned Siney Thomas Look, Lets make a love........ dug my copy out and what a brilliant side that is!!!!!!!!!! Cheers John

Talking about firsts Ian, look no further than your avatar Skullsnaps I'm Your Pimp was first heard (by these ears) at the Mecca blending in with the All Platinum and Delite/Vigor Hi-Hats

If my memory serves Bo and Ruth where played from the album That version was 6 or 7 minutes long. No one mentioned Dr Buzzzzzards I'll Play The Fool yet

Have you ever wondered how these current (in the 70s) US 45s found their way into this country. Where they imported en masse or was some thought put into what would go down well.Who chose what would come and what would not?

Love Factory Eloise Laws Music Merchant What an Intro!!

That period from 75 onwards was a golden age for 'our' type of soul music Most new releases were played if they fitted the bill I'm sure Bad Luck was played in the Highland room. The ones that caught me out were the 2-3 year old releases such as At Last, What Goes Up & I Got the Vibes that surfaced after thier release. Luckily enough they appeared on John Andersons list soon after initial plays Appprox £2.00 ea ? Happy Days

No ones mentioned the Crown Hieghts Affair Dreaming a Dream voc&inst Mack Simmons Turning Point Kiki Dee Love is a warm kind of sorrow TOOOON! 3 brilliant but totally different sounds possibly summing up the appeal of the Mecca

I can remember reading that article when it first came out I got a Jesse Fisher from soul bowl the following day, Colin (Dilnot) got a Lou Edwards sometime later Memories

You have mail

Some great lists Candi Staton (always thought that was more than a pop record) We used to stock up on new releases from this era at Ralph Tees record bar at the Ritz alldayers Two more Body Shop Clifford Curry Buddah Phyllis Hyman Baby I'm gonna love you New Moon Bumpin n' Stompin Garland Green Spring Sending My Best Wishes Garland Green Spring What Goes Up Tyrone Davis Dakar I could go on and on and...........

HDH should be a whole thread devoted to the post Motown work of these guys. It formed the bridge between classic Motown and Philly and Disco. Ive always loved that synth/organ sound and Im still hearing stuff new to my ears (just love that "Lets Change the Subject " by Satisfaction Unlimited. Could there be a vault of unreleased material? Or was it all destroyed? Would it have been a different story if the guys had left Motown more amicablly

Might make the 6 o'clock news on a slow day,definitely the local news, perhaps you could wangle a spot on the Antiques Roadshow I'm sur Eric Knowles could put across a good case for it.Stuart Marconi could mention it on Radio 2 . EXPOSURE is the key and before you know it 25k will be surpassed

I would think someone from Japan or Germany will end up paying the most for it. Shouild we start a campaign to keep it in Britain the home of Northern Soul

One of my favourite groups "I'll Be Around" & "Its A Shame" would not sound out of place in any crossover/modern set(in fact I'm sure Sam played the former at an Orwell a couple of years ago) Theres many a good tune tucked away on thier albums " Just can't let you get away" from the 2nd? album is a case in point. Phillipe Wynne RIP had a minor solo career after leaving the group in the eighties albums on Sugarhill and Cotillion Saw them at Liverpool Empire mid 70s PW did a signature "Soul Walk" Happy Days
