Came out in a picture sleeve in Spain (on Columbia - labels reversed on the copy i have), and I also have a spanking white US demo that took me the best part of 15 years to locate. -
It's a particularly perverse sex act involving half a pint of Olive Oil, a Midget and a child's Tonka Truck toy... "I Shazamed him until he was walking like John Wayne..."

Only needs Sheldon and you've got Bingo!

from memory the issue has an italic stamp - it's either ARP or Nashville Matrix (I can't put my hands on mine at the minute to confirm).
-
Without matrix info I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. The Attic record store is in Monroeville, just over the river from Pittsburgh, and as such gets loads of Pittsburgh boots - they've definitely had boots of Harvey in on a double sided Harvey issue.

If it's a general Soul radio station, that usually plays the hits, then 90+% of Northern will be obscure to the listeners. Why not pick up the 'Northern Souls Classiest Rarities' series from Kent and feature the tracks off it which you don't know? Job done. You can Paypal me my £10 consultation fee direct.

I've just sicked up a little bit of my breakfast. Thanks for that.

Not quite right, it got a Picture Sleeve issue in Europe on London (earlier than the A&M release)..
-
You can keep the House, but upstairs at Bradford was belting.
-
He didn't rescue me (not that i needed it, everything was going swimmingly) - he was too busy turning up at venues with CDs (with no CD players), then borrowing boots to play in their place...
-
Had plenty of attention round these parts.

Unconfirmed at the minute, but I've read online that Jimmy has passed away. Sad news. added by site news clip and link Funk great Jimmy Castor, the man who made the Troglodyte and Bertha Butt famous, passed away on Monday at the age of 64. At this time, there is no cause of death. According to VVN Music affiliate Noise11, "Castor's grandson P.J. Romain said on Twitter that his "grandfather is unresponsive at the hospital," before breaking the news eight hours later in a tweet that said: "My grandfather Jimmy Castor died today at 2:30 on MLK day." ""Disco musician Nile Rodgers also tweeted his grief, saying: "I can't stop crying. How do I explain how much his brilliant upbeat music touched my soul? Jimmy Castor RIP."" Read more: http://www.vintagevi...l#ixzz1jhAvFTWh bio feature clip and link Castor recorded a few singles for the My Brothers label with the Clintonian Cubs in the early 1 960s before his first solo sides for Jet Set ('65), Decca ('66), and then Smash, a subsidiary of Mercury, the label he had started out on, By 1966 there was a new sound in Harlem; doo-wop was out (although it would never die, experiencing regular revivals into the 1 990s). The new sound, inspired by the large and growing Puerto Rican population of Harlem, was dubbed Latin soul, and locals like Ray Barrette (11 Watusi") and Joe Cuba ("'Bang' 'Bang'") were the new stars uptown, By now Castor had added cimbales and vibes to his arsenal of talents and with his longtime writing and producing partner John Pruitt came up with one of the all-time great New York Latin soul discs-"Hey, Leroy, Your Mama's Callin' You." "Hey, Leroy" was and is irresistible, with its fat melodic bass line, descending piano triplets, timbales, and conga grooves, wailing sax, and call-and-response refrain"go to yo' mama, go to yo' mama." By Christmas week of '66 it had risen to #16 on Billboards national R&B charts (#31 pop), but in Harlem it was as good as #1 and would be sung by kids on the baseball fields and playgrounds of New York for a decade. read more http://www.70disco.com/jimmycas.htm -
Here's one for you Dave: Gloria Taylor King Soul 71769 - You Got To Pay The Price / Loving You And Being Loved By You - 1969 (?)

You lost loads of your old regulars when Dave Box announced that there was going to be much less R&B played... I can't see how more Crossover will appeal to that crowd.

I was hoping to make it a heart-felt story of coming of middle age - not a documentary
-
I'm putting forward a script for a film about the current scene - none of this 'heyday' nostalgia for me... I see it as a cross between Tod Browning's Freaks and Cocoon The Return with a thumping 'Funky' Northern Soundtrack

I think the lyrics are bit trite (sounds like he had one hand on his rhyming dictionary at the end of every line) and the musical backing is generally lacking in oomph. His vocal can't really be faulted, I just find it's a bit wishy washy at best. It's a 'go to' album for compilers of 'greatest album' lists, who are either very lazy or clueless (so they reel out the same cliched top ten). Commercial or not holds no sway in my argument - one of my top ten 45s of all time was a massives 70s Philly hit.
