Keb put on a tape for me in the mid 80's as the 'Silhouettes'- The Parliaments On Unpredictable

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.- The Parliaments On Unpredictable

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.- The Limelights - Don't Leave Me Baby - / Uncle
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?- Little Anthony
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.- Herman Lewis & Jerri Jackson
- Keanya Collins - It Aint No Secret
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?- Leicester Oddfellows Video/dvd
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.- Mp3 Wanted Please
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- Mp3 Wanted Please
I'll send you one ASAP, if the PC doesn't pack up again. Anyone seen a white demo of this?- Keanya Collins - It Aint No Secret
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?- Mailing Records
Anyone advise on the safest / traceable / cost effective way to post an expensive record to Germany? Probably a courier service & if so, any recommendation?- Help Required Please

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'- Otis Leavil - Let Her Love Me
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?- Wowser, What Will This Go For
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- Help Needed ... Motown Unissued Track ?
