Hi Guys,
I'm after label scans of The Fabulous Peps (Tom Storm & The Peps etc) releases on Ge-Ge, D-Town, Premium Stuff, Wee 3, and Wheelsville. Don't mind if they are issues or demos (or both) as long as they are good quality scans.
Also, if anyone has them, scans of the following records:
Little Joe & The Thrillers - Peanuts / ? - Okeh - 1957
The Vibratones - Wedding Bells / ? - ? - 1957
Little Joe and The Moroccos with The Band - Bubble Gum / Trouble In The Candy Shop Bumble Bee 500 - 1958
Even if you can't let me have a scan, filling in some of the missung details would be a great help.
Either load them as attachments here, or PM them, or email them to me on dave @ soulfulkindamusic.net (without the gaps obviously)
Thanks in anticipation.

Not sure what venues you frequent but I witness that at most events I go to
Mind you, I don't frequent the same venue month in month out - I travel a 350 mile 'fan radius' of where I live in order to sample the diverse northern soul culture that's out there
I do tend to frequent venues where I know good dj's play though because I've no problem admitting I'm a groupie for the likes of Mick H, Mace (now), Dave Rimmer, Roccia, Vanessa from Bournemouth, Tim Smithers from Bournemouth, Jo, Dav.... oh, the list could go on!
However, with the announcement of DJ's I also know that there will be aquaintances I've met that will also attend which for me makes it a special evening as well.
ta Girl.
by the way you don't want to have anything to do with that Mace fella, he can't hold his ale

Good God Dave is that honestly what you lot used to talk about up "the famous Dave Rimmer corner" then??? no wonder us ladies never went near there very often .. - weirdos!!!
I was going through some pics yesterday from there when I came across the ones from the "St Trinians" night,Johnny Weston posing at the bar in his satin thong.
..fun times , sadly missed:-))))

Oh yes, we used to have some scintillating conversations in that corner. I think the funniest was the Lea Manor after the minibus trip to the 100 Club.
To give the background, John Pugh had organised a mini bus full of the West Midlands finest to venture down to London.
A good night was had by all and we piled into the minibus for the journey home. The usual fun and games ensued with the driver deciding on a rather eccentric route to find some toilets. After threats from Carl that went along the lines of "If you don't pullover now I;m gonna piss on you !" the driver actually took it seriously. Miraculously round the next corner was a layby, outside a cemetary, with some toilets. It was like a scene from the Keystone Cops with fifteen blokes fighting each other to get off the bus and into the toilets first ! The lady selling flowers face was a picture !
However, I digress, prior to this Johnny Weston (It had to be John didn't it) had bought a coffee and was sitting holding it in his lap, just as a bag fell off the rack above him, knocking scalding coffee all over his crutch. Much screaming and hopping about followed from John, to a background of hysterical laughter from the rest of us.
The classic micky take took place though when John Pugh turned up at the the Manor with an empty coffee cup and a packet of Hob Knob biscuits, but the packaging on the biscuits had been slightly doctored so it read Hot Knob biscuits. Again, much hysterical laughter from everyone except poor Johnny Weston !
You're right, they were good times.

Dave - could I just point out for your records where you have 7104 - ? and 7103 as both Yolanda Carr and the Magnetics
7104 - ? should be The Magnetics, have a look at your record/scan.
Just need to know what 7101 is now
Bloody Hell, you're right !!!!!
Cheers for that
I've got over 250 label discographies on my site and I make a cock up like that

Cheers Daveas far as I know they are the same group as 'lady in green'

Here's the info I've got on Ra-Sel

7103 - Yolanda Karr - It Takes Two Hearts / ?
7104 - Magnetics - I Have A Girl / Love And Devotion

9106 - Metros - Where Were You / Now That You've Gone

I'm afraid you are getting your Magnetics mixed up. The group who recorded on Allrite are a Detroit group, possibly the same group as the group who recorded on Bonnie.
The group who recorded on Ra-Sel are from Philadelphia, thus the Allrite single definitely wasn't also issued on Ra-Sel because it was a different group.
And the group who recorded on JV are from Chicago, and another group entirely frrom the two already mentioned.
Here's all the info I've managed to gather on 'The Magnetics'
The Magnetics (From Philadelphia)
Ra-Sel R7-104 - I Have A Girl / Love And Devotion - 1967
The Philadelphia Magnetics have as far as I know only the one release, although other releases on the
Ra Sel label exist. John Anderson at Soul Bowl is rumoured to have several unreleased acetates by the group.
The Magnetics (From Detroit)
Bonnie 107374 - Lady In Green / Heart You're Made Of Stone - 196?
The Detroit Magnetics are possibly the same group that recorded on Allrite (Because of the Detroit association of the label). However, according to Dennis Coffey (Who played on both group's sessions) are NOT The Volumes recording under a different name as was once thought.
The Magnetics (No idea where from although I would suspect Detroit, so it might even be the same group)
Allrite 620 - Where Are You / The Train - 1962
The Magnetics (From Detroit)
Hitsville Acetate - Father Time
Histville Acetate - Please Don't Go Away
The second Detroit Magnetics are definitely a white sounding girl group, which according to Andy Rix, are not particularly good, which would account for the tracks never gaining an actual release.
The Magnetics (From Chicago)
Sable 102 - When I'm With My Baby / Count The Days - 196?
J-V 2501 - Oh Love / Wasting Time - 1969
The Chicago Magnetics releases have Lee McKinney as the lead singer, so are all the same group.
Lee McKinney & The Magnetics (Same group from Chicago)
Sable 104 - I'll Keep Holding On / ? - 196?
The Magnetics (No idea where from, but definitely a different group)
Sound Trap 30391 - Let Me Comfort You / Good By My Love - ?
The group on Sound Trap are a complete mystery to me. Help anyone ?

What about things like "Stormy" by Diana Ross (or was it the Supremes) - to the best of my knowledge (and I know others will correct me if I'm wrong) never officially released and ONLY available on a pressing
You're wrong. Got an official Motown release both here and in the States. Admittedly CD or album only, but still an official release.

Its called "The All Together" and stars Martin Freeman.
The Plot is-
The film follows a day in the life of a deeply unsatisfied TV producer and his free-loading Bosnian flatmate as they struggle to extricate themselves from an accidental hostage situation involving four estate agents, two Jehovah's Witnesses, an odious TV presenter, a children's entertainer, an incontinent American gangster and his incompetent British sidekick.
The films soundtrack is made up of rare Northern Soul tracks including;
Tommy Neal - Going To A Happening
Doris Troy - I'd Do Anything
Johnny De'vigne - I Smell Trouble
Ronnie & Robyn - Sidra's Theme
The Channels - Anything You Do
Doni Burdick - Open The Door To Your Heart
Steve Karmen - Breakaway
The Sapphires - Gotta Have Your Love
The Yum Yums - Gonna Be A Big Thing
Hope this helps Dave
That's The one. Thanks Craig

Where'd you get that info from, Dave - cos it's not right. LBTP had never been issued anywhere until mine and Ady's boss at Ace, Roger Armstrong, found the mastertapes while auditing the unissued Otis tapes that belonged to Fantasy, rather than to Atlantic.
The only legitimate vinyl issue of LBTP is any that has come out in the wake of Roger's discovery of the tapes. None of these were in SA to my knowledge, but I'll ask Roger if he knows differently. In any event it would not have been issued as 'Loving By The Pound' until Roger discovered it, as the title written on the tape box was something completely different, and it was only his detective work that led to the real title being uncovered....
TONE
I'm sure that Denny, who's originally from Warrington, and now in Oz, found a copy when he lived in SA. It would have been after Roger found the tapes. Mind you given my memory it might not be this track at all

There was a thread about a new film which had a Northern soundtrack, but I can't remember what the thread was called, can someone remind me
