Rob Thomas may have aqquired a an acetate from Jerry Williams

It was released by Grapevine about 6 months ago test presses were supplied to Keith Money, Des Parker, Bob Hinsley plus others to get the record known prior to release. the Detroit Magnificents was signed at the same time as a previously unissued track by Jerry Williams "When you move you loose" John Anderson while looking through some material in his garage found a tape that Jerry had given him in the 70's both songs were on this tape John contacted Jerry and asked if he still had the master tapes which he had, so a deal was done with both records being legally released on Grapevine the Detroit Magnificents along with Al Williams "Try Them" are now the final releases of the Grapevine 2000 series and both have sold really well. only £10 to you pete

Both are yellow, reissue has an instrumental as the b- side and original has a b-side called Lay

Pete, get well soon mate Take care. Love Louise xxx

Dave was in the process of doing Stanley's biography and had been in regular contact with him, even persuading him to appear at the March 07 Prestatyn weekender! on the numerous times Dave spoke to him he never mentioned any health problems, Stanleys cause of death was a heart attack, in the last half an hour Dave has spoken to his family, he had on going heart problems which he chose to ignore as he wished to perform right to the end, he died at 3.30am (U.S time) Saturday morning. His funeral is this coming Friday. All good wishes will be passed onto his family. Rest Easy Stanley

Lord Luther My Mistake (Schireck) this label is out of New York and is affiliated in some way to the Tarx & Triode labels Lord Luther has often been reputed to have been a very young Luther Vandross????

Well i have it on very good authority that the Equator label is out of New Orleans the arranger Edward Frank was a renowned New Orleans session pianist, he can also be found on the New Orleans Etah recordings. hope thats of interest.

The Magnetics Featuring John L McKinney was an unissued Sable recording which previously only existed on an acetate, discovered by John Anderson which he then sold to Richard Searling, Richard played it on his Cellar full of Soul radio show extensively through the late 80's & early 90's, then when John reactivated Grapevine in 2000 he licensed the track from John McKinney to release on Grapevine (104) this is the only legal format that this track is now available on. Hope you find that of interest
