The Tempest

Picked this up on evil bay from the States the other night for £8.00 It has " Heartaches Away My Boy " on it , which is one of my favourite oldies , Another member had a copy for sale recently on here , apparently it has a spoken intro , but not arrived yet so no idea what it will be like but for the pittance I paid , who cares ! My point is - does anyone know anything about the series , there seems quite a few about , promotional discs to promote the single release ? Any other decent Vista ones out there with Northern tracks on ? I have a few of the Armed Forces Radio Service ones which have Beverley Ann , Joey Heatherton , Sharon Scott on , but never heard of the Vista series until recently

Cheers Karl 👍🏻

Thanks for the replies so far .. Seen this on the Sold on Soul Lp that Searling did in the 70s Never heard it played out though must be a Casino spin

Was at a do last night and this got spun - never heard it before and had only heard the Funk Bros. instrumental version years ago which I still love It went down surprisingly well Does anybody else spin anything by him ?

Quote from Ian Levine for those not on Facebook : Keith Minshull was attacked by two drunken yobs just because he tried to stop them taking away the chair next to him with his jacket on it. They can't have been proper soulies - I was DJing onstage at the time so it was right in front of me. The bouncers were brilliant and got the yobs out before they could hurt him apart from whacking him on the head. Apparently as they pushed the yobs outside one of them fell on the concrete hitting his face, hence the blood. Unwarranted violence can happen anywhere but the bouncers were BRILLIANT in protecting Keith Minshull.

It’s also on the Brenton Wood Boogaloo compilation from that time on Brent - original and way cheaper than the 45 on Mainstream if your interested

Good point mate ! Not sure ! Ask him
