Bettye LaVette - soul legend signs to Anti Bettye LaVette, one of the supreme voices in soul music, has been signed by Anti- Records. Her first album for the label will be released in the autumn. Ms. LaVette will be working with artist and producer Joe Henry, who was also responsible for Solomon Burke's Grammy-winning 'Don't Give Up On Me' album in 2002. Recording sessions for Bettye LaVette's album are scheduled to start next month. This will be the latest chapter in a long musical career that started in 1962 when, at the age of 16, Bettye recorded a tune called 'My Man - He's a Lovin' Man' which was released by Atlantic Records, the first of many nationwide record labels for whom Bettye LaVette recorded during the Sixties and Seventies. Dave Godin, the esteemed English soul music writer and archivist, claimed: "There are dozens of really top-drawer female Soul singers in what is a highly competitive field, but few can match the flawless totality of conveyed experience that Bettye LaVette never fails to achieve. "She is the consummate artist who can relate on every level. Take Bettye LaVette away from Soul music's history and there is a gap which no other person I can think of could have filled". Although she never achieved the level of commercial success her extraordinary talents deserved, Bettye LaVette's music has long since made an indelible impression on soul fans around the world - in the UK, for instance, she was one of the pivotal artists in the 1970's Northern Soul movement. Among the labels for which she has recorded are Motown, Calla, Atco, Epic, Silver Fox, West End, SSS International and Street King. Her classic tunes include 'Piece of My Heart' - a recording that clearly influenced Janis Joplin's version of the song - and 'Your Turn To Cry', a mesmerizing deep soul performance released as a single by Atlantic's Atco label in 1972.

> This is what I played at Soulastatic in Gothenberg, fantastic crowd, one of the best nights I've ever had the good fortune to attend. I played Pic & Bill too. Chris Gwatkin was the other guest, I think we double decked for about 2 hours.> Stuart, glad you liked it! Some great tunes from you booth, one of the top-nights at s-static! Hope to see you back sometime. C

Eddie Bo - From this day on - what a tune!

Ha ha! , no not Botswana, secondhand market in Gothenburg.

Ok, next question, has WESS - She Found Out - been released on any other 45 or LP? Thanx!

Have anybody seen this 45? Any info would be great! A side: Eddie Holman-I Love You Wess - She Found Out B side: James Brown Good By (yes, misspelt) My Love Play Boy 2031

My "excuse" is (my name is Christian) that there are several other Christian on this forum and my last name starts with that swedish O with two dots over it and bla bla bla bla. I just took my sons name instead!

Fifth Avenue Band - One Way or The Other

Can anybody sheed a light on this LP I found a while ago: Black Message on (German) Karusell records. a 28 track KING compilation with stunning tracks like: Cody Black - Slowly Molding + Keep on Keepin on Shirley Walsh - Why Am I Crying TC Lee and The Bricklayers Mill Evans The 5 Dapps Charles Wickers The Emeralds The Brownettes etc. All tracks a bit shortened down to give room for all (28!!) tracks. Common album? No year stated on cover or vinyl, but my guess is late 60´s? Cheers C

Got mine a year ago (or 2 years ago?!) on Buy It Now, 19 dollars, from Accidental Cds in new york. Don´t know if they still have them, but give it a try on: accidentalcd@hotmail.com Cheers C

christian h> Hi Chris! Might be wrong but Betty books around 1970 and Exceptional Three sounds just a bit earlier, again just a guess. C

Thanx! Thought it was something different. Cheers! C

Is Exceptional Three (feat. Ruby Carter) - Un Lucky Girl - Way Out, the exact same version as Exceptionals - Unlucky Girl - GRT? Other than the Exceptional Three beeing the rarer one? Sounds about the same but you never know!

Fantastic tune! Been playing One way or the other for years in Sweden, heard theres another good tune from the band around. Any truth in that?

Anyone got info on last weeks ending prices? Cheers C

Superb track! Big fave. Hope you find one!! Cheers christian -

Price of pint is deffo cheaper in sweden than in many places in UK where I´ve bought one! PaulB-Mainly nights in Sweden, 2-3 allnighters a year around the country tops!
