Thanks Keith, that explains things, it was on a tape of u/r Motown stuff. Perhaps 2648 West Grand Bulavard was full and they were doing a bit of practicing outside!!

Probably something obvious, but it's really begining to bug me now, any ideas anyone?

It's Soft Touch - After you give your all - Prodigal (same as Ronnie McNeir - Wendy is gone) with Lorraine Chandler on vocals

What sort of numbers are we talking about here? Values too? And of course, any sound files would be welcome!

After looking at someones 70's / modern, whatever you want to call them, "wants", I was just thinking what are the rarest of the rare non-60's sounds? Is there a Frank Wilson "Holy Grail" type equivalent?

There's a dozen or more CC U/R tracks floating about, any idea of the corus to give us a clue?

I thought is something to do with Paris in Texas, being sung by a US soul singer. However, I was told a long time ago that TM spent some time in Paris, France during the sixties, the s**t we're taken in with!!

sounds like this cobblers

I would not have thought one exists, but having said that I have seen the original's for Magnetics - Lady in Green & Jock Mitchel -Not a chance !!!

----------- and the USA promo only 12" which we all wanted but couldn't get a copy: Always There - Willie Bobo (Columbia) different to the seven inch and album mix and never , to this day, released on commercial 12". Neil I've got a UK CBS 6 track promo 12" with the Willie Bobo on. It's a plain white label in a plain white card cover with the track listing (photocopy)pasted on. The other tracks are "extended" mixes too, but I can't remeber what they are - 'club clasics' like Dexter Wansell, Webster Lewis etc

Groovy shoes too .........

'Luther' as a group had two album releases on Cotillion "Luther" in 1978 & "This close to you" in 1977 with 'Don't wanna be a fool' on it 'Don't wanna be a fool' only came out on the 7" ISSUES of 'This Close to you' When Luther V got a few bob from his Epic releases, he bought the rights to the Cotillion recordings because he didn't want them re-released as he thought they were not up to standard

Rob Thomas has Rixs records for DJing, so perhaps try him?

sorry, mate for the confusion - got Turbins - Bernadine on Friday Eric Murcry on Monday Still after conquistadors turbins - start all over sonic explosion

Don Ray - Born a loser 1:46 ? Clyde McPHATER - Please give me one chance 1 minute ?

Whoops

There is an (U/R) Motown track called "Don't stop loving me", male vocal with some nice girly backing, possibly this? I've been informed it's a demo by Ivy Jo Hunter

It is U/R Nella Dodds. It's a virtue studio acetate that just says "Soldier Boy" which Alan still owns.

correct, it was. I had in my hand last night and it's real and mint

86 give or take a year?

True. It was on the same list as the Royal Robins (imaginary visions c/u) cover up as Bud Harper - "Searching for treasure that can't be found'' for about £15 - £20. I got one of Ian Clark a few months later.

I'm still after the Turbins track "We got to start all over" / "What more can i say". The b side to Bernadine is "Till there was you" the Beatles track, which was not credited and so why the record is rare (?)
