Thanks for reply, i don't know how to put a picture up but my Gordy demo is a double A side, TIME on both sides, If you go to Discogs and put in a search for Time Edwin Starr it pulls up all versions including the white demo, Rick

Heres one i think deserves more plays out like a lot of Millie's Tunes from back in the day, a nice sing along feel good soul dancer

I Like this Very nice, Great Tune to put a smile on Yer face on a Sunday Morning, The original Bat Man and Robin Kicking the Jokers Arse with this in back ground jumped into my head immediately ,

Apologies if this discussed before, I have a white USA Demo (Small Font) Also An Issue with Small Font and an Issue with Large Font. (Both USA) May well be just different pressing plants (as is the usual) or did one come out before the other, lets say , one run sells out and following run a font size change. Anyone Know for sure or any thoughts please ? Thanks Rick.

One from me today to dust those Sunday Morning Cobwebs Away

Hi Mark, my copy's got 2 clicks, one loud nearly 1/2 way through 1 not so loud about 3/4 the way through. Cheers Rick.

Very Nice Dave, Puts me in mind Of the Impressions, Quality Tune My Friend And Thanks For Posting

The other side is just a bit good too, This is the LP full Length Version, The 7" is an edited version 2:55 Mins, A Beautiful instrumental showing off great Talent, Guitar Work and Strings and Things, Wonderful Stuff

Hi stan, I bought my copy as a brand new release back in 1996. It Is from a Motown's BLUE EVOLUTION CD and no was not available on vinyl or anything else up until that release on the CD Previously unreleased......Recorded 68/69 According to sleeve notes Great track i have played in my Northern sets (when CD PLAYER AVAILABLE LOL) and in my Modern Sets also as it sits in there quite nicely with the cross over stuff. Was a popular one for me at Arties Mill Soul Nites (Brigg) Near Scunthorpe Back in the day, Still love it and play it. The cd is on the whole is a BLUES CD made up of 20 Tracks, 7 of which are Previously unreleased, Sammy Ward-Mable John-Amos Kilburn-Earl King-Arthur Adams

Here is one from my early days of collecting, Have this on stateside, One of the great mid 60"s Tunes Love It!! hope you will love it too. Yea and here they are performing live, still out there doing their stuff, and have to say they have still got it!

Nice one Andy, a Beautiful Song and the side i play at home. When i'm feeling a bit low this is the sort of stuff i turn to, lifts the heart a bit i feel

sorry faulty file

well spotted yes it was , my finisher was Charles Mann it's All Over

This one is just SHEER CLASS yes in deed

and another one all but forgotten

In answer to Shuffling' a tune probably all but forgotten, the harder copy before Arista from Mike and Bill........

It did, have to say the sound system was brill, the banks of speakers either side of the stage were taller than me. Big base bins with huge speakers on top of them and rows of the larges Horns i'd ever seen at that time. I think Mary hired them from Road Runner Discos who were Grimsby/Cleethorpes based and hired out equipment, mind you,you needed some wattage to fill the Pier, Was a massive, place, The Blackpool Mecca sound system was very good too, Speakers were built into the ceiling over the dance area if i remember rightly.

And talking of Cleethorpes Pier here is one out of that box!!!!!! You know you Luv 'Em

Yes,Yes,Yes, Have this myself and what a record, Correct! Cleethorpes WOULD have loved this, Right up there with THE CROW A good old fashioned STOMPER!

Bit of a change from me today, an LP Track from 1988, With a lot of interest in the Pioneers 7" My good friend James over the years, This is a Blue eyed Soul Version that myself and Tom Paddison (JC) played as a new release in Sunny Scunny, from the same album "love don't come no stronger than your love" came from Called "For a lifetime" A refreshing change and i hope you enjoy

Chris, it sticks in the mind like it was yesterday ( i wish lol ) and i would have been the tender age of around 25 years old on that clip, Where did all those years go?

Chris,That is such a rare film clip which i do remember, the guy filming was up on the stage with a 35mm camera with a bright light on front (of course no sound in those days hense the dubbed on sound) for years we wondered what happened to this footage until it finally did appear on line eventually. It was filmed during a dance competition at what i believe was one of the anniversaries. For those wanting to spot who was who on the stage area I was the long haired Chappy at 48/50 secs. Mary Chapman Fore front with Husband Colin just behind her At 51/52 secs. Dick Jervis at the Decks with Rick Todd just behind him at 53/54 secs

I think it was just a case of the DJs taste at that time, Colin and Ian were playing much the same New and Obscure New releases as we were at Cleethorpes And mixing it up with the the currant big 60s sounds, We all seemed to be on the same wave length music wise and i suspect that is why Cleethorpes And The Mecca musically was held in such high regard,(we played off each other) A lot of other venues frowned upon this and stayed staunchly 60s (but most relented in the end) due to pressure from people asking for certain record being played elsewhere. Great soul Music is Great Soul Music which ever way you look at it. Cheers Rick

Hi There Kev , Lovely tunes both sides as you say, new to me, very nice, Thank you!

Thanks Chris and Peter for you comments, they are always most welcome and Chris i will see what i can do and will continue to post stuff from that era as for me it was the best, very experimental and nothing fazed me, I always played what i believed in and still do, So this morning i have pulled another one out of that same box, The Wonderful Betty Fikes and passions Prove It Which was also very popular at the Blackpool Mecca. ENJOY! PS The other side of this is sublime SOUL mmmmmm
