Hey Trev I'll take the New Figurations if it's free 'n' gratis Dave

I lay the blame squarely on Little Hank !!! Dave

Three figure Duke records, whatever next a woman prime minister ! Dave

Not wishing to appear being pedantic but wasn't The Holidays version of "Loves Creeping Up On Me" on Revilot (1967) the original version with United Images version being a later cover version (1971). Both good records I might add. Dave

Out today "We Got A Sweet Thing Going On" Volume 2 Available frm all the usual suspects or direct from the Soul Junction website: www.souljunctionrecords.co.uk The initial response has been that volume 2 is even better than volume 1 Thanks for your contnued support of our products. Dave SJ

I have a nagging recolection in the back of my head that Tony Diamond was a pseudonym used by a former group member of a well known Chicago group to record his one and only solo outing. Possibly The Chi-Lites but then again I might be wrong, need to think more about it. Dave

Gareth I couldn't find a soundfile of Sugar Baby (Blue Rock )to play him, although he did say that Joe Hunter and the rest of the cast from Thr Funk Brothers played on the session. Possibly priviously having plenty practice with the Four Tops "Tea House In China Town" and "Don't Turn Away", LP session,maybe so, maybe no? Dave

Hey Tony Didn't they finish their set off with an impromptu rendition of "Y,M,C,A Roger the go to man when you need a bottle opener or corkscrew at 4am in the morning at a allnighter Dave & Louise

Hi Guys Just to throw some intrigue in to the subject. I've just asked Jimmy Holland about the above theory that he and Jimmy Hart are one and the same ? He claims to have knowingly never recorded under the name of Jimmy Hart and upon playing him "Tea House In China Town" he claims to have never heard the record before (not even The Four Tops LP version) and assured me that it wasn't him singing. He's quite aware of "Sugar Baby" on Syco and Markie, which he recorded for Andre Williams at United Sound. The plot thickens !! Dave

The same school of thought did cross my mind Guy and the question has been asked but currently all the living protagonists in this story don't seem to know, either way. So currently the jury remains out for now. Dave

Hi Guys Thank you for comments, it's appreciated. McArthur is out today from all the usual suspects or directly through the Soul Junction website: www.souljunctionrecords.co.uk Thank you for your continued support of our products. Dave SJ

Well said that man Dave

More fool the numpty's who keep buying them !!!

Bill Pinkney & The Orginal Drifters Dave

If your talking about "Destined To Become A Loser" on Castle Then the blue label is the original and the silver one is a re-issue. Dave

Soul Bowl was always a great supporter of Lou Raglands music, heavily importing his 70's outing on SMH "What Should I Do" which featured on his list as a front page special as did Lou's 1892 outing under the pseudonym of the Great Lales Orchestra "Didn't I Tell You" Dave

Hey Len RE: The previous Bill Spoon & The Soul Notes post, hence the reason the instrumental flip of Jesse Fisher being credited as " Waiting" Dave P.S I've got a great snake story to tell you the next time I see ya out and about !

Hour Glass is part of Spectrum. Dave

In November of 1965 with the help of Lou Ragland, for of us now using the name of the "Soul Notes" signed for Lester Johnson's Way-Out Label. Although several tracks were recorded only two 45's were released"How Long Will It Last/Don't Make Me Beg" (Way-Out 101) and "How Long Will It Last/I Got Everything You Need" (Way-Out 106). The intended flip to "I Got Everything You Need" was a song entitled "I've Been Waiting For Love" which had been written by myself, John Washington and Riki Dannison. We had gone as far as recording it but for reasons which remained unknown to us the song was pulled and replaced with a re-release of "How Long Will It Last". "I've Been Waiting For Love" was later released under the different title of "Your Not Loving A Beginner" being recorded by Richard Fishers (Jive Five) younger brother Jesse, and with some of the original lyric's having been reworked by James Calloway. An extract taken from the Sleeve notes of the cover of Bill Spoon's "A Spoonful Of Soul" Soul Junction SJLP5003 album. Which Bill the former lead singer of the Soul Notes wrote himself. Bill also supplied us with a cut of the Soul Notes version of "I've Been Waiting For Love" a.k.a "Your Not Loving A Beginner" but unfortunately it was only a poorly recorded demo take with the backing band sounding as if they were playing in a building across the street hence the discision not to attempt to release it. P.S It a surprise that one of the leading soul scribe's hasn't already plagerized Bill's notes, they must be slipping Dave Soul Junction

John, wasn't that the multi-coloured release of Jesse Fisher on Way Out a legal re-issue done by Soul Bowl in conjunction with Lester Johnson (The owner of the WayOut Label )? Dave

So then Guy's in summary is it safe to say that the moral of this story/thread is that you never ever again buy a record or a cup of coffee from any vendor with a Preston post code ? Dave

Just a thought but with the current popular trend for adult colouring books, would there be a potential market for a self pricing , price guide with laminated pages where you would be able to add, delete or amend prices due to any flutuations in the market at will ? Dave
