  1. Interesting reading, circa 1975.
  2. Keb put on a tape for me in the mid 80's as the 'Silhouettes'

Reply: Actually, the Temptashuns changed their name to the Mag 7 as you said but, when they recorded the cover of "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow" it was Larry Orr who sang the lead. Meade Brown was the drummer. Larry previously was with "The Nightcrawlers" out of Louisville, KY before joining the Mag 7. I have forgotten most of the other members of the group. The Parliaments, on the other hand, used to play at the old Joyland Park Casino in Lexington, KY quite frequently in the 60's. I was the drummer for a local band "The Classics" before joining a group out of Nashville "The Casuals" with Richard Williams, John Orr, Tommy Jolly and others. The Casuals were the back up band for Brenda Lee during that period. I can never recall "Little Archie" singing with the Mag 7 before they broke up.
  4. He was called 'Little' Archie as he's around 6' 7" tall! He's the one in white in my avatar. There were six members of the "Unpredictable" Parliaments. No he hasn't got any records.
  5. I've known it for sale twice, but I think it's the same copy. In the mid 80's Keb had it for sale at the Fleet, still covered up as the Silhouettes, and I seem to remember it was very expensive, a 3 figure sum. Then I it was for sale again about 3 years ago, for I was told a 4 figure sum. Other, than that copy, I only know of another that I think Mick Smith has/ had. The proverbial rocking horse sh*t?

    Quite a few years ago a friend told me that there is a version if OAMCR ride by Little Anthony but it was only on a studio tape, never released. That EMI could well be OK, and sounds a very different cut to KD's version.
  7. The matrix number is stamped in. Curiously, there are sellotape mark in each side's run out, suggesting somebody had it covered up at one time?
  8. PM your address and I'll send you a DVD if you promise to stick some dosh in the next RSPCA collection box you see.

    PM'ed it to Tony so maybe he can shuttle it on? If not I'll send it to you and post up when my broadband is working again

    I'll send you one ASAP, if the PC doesn't pack up again. Anyone seen a white demo of this?
  11. There seems to be two issues of this. One is the above scan, and another (same number, ? same matrix stamp?), but the label is a lighter / paler blue label and the print is black, not the usual white. Anyone know the history of the two releases?

    Anyone advise on the safest / traceable / cost effective way to post an expensive record to Germany? Probably a courier service & if so, any recommendation?

    I remember it being played at Stafford, by the 60's Mafia (Guy, Keb etc); it was booted along with H.B Barnum - It Hurts Too Much, on the other side of the Peanut Duck, on the Joker label. Peanut Duck was 'written' by Gilly, Jilly and the the publisher was 'Butch Music'
  14. Otis Leavil, Curtis Mayfield and Major Lance were friends and I think they grew up together in Chicago. On songs that Mayfield wrote and Lance recorded, the Impressions did the background singing; so perhaps they did the same for Leavil's recording too, at 'friends' rates?
  15. Arthur Fenn told me he had a 12" of this, at the last ever Winter Gardens last Feb, he said he'd let it go for £1000
  16. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/193176-01.htm Worth buying just for "You Wonderful Sweet Sweet Love"
  17. That's where I first heard it, but can't remember who was playing it, Ady Pountain?

    There was a CD going around a couple of years ago with remixes of tained love, come go, plus the instrumentals, but I don't know if they were the same length, mix etc of your 12"
  19. Brothers By Choice - Girl I need you to ? Donald Albert - The hardest part ?
