The artist will continue to earn royalties though Bob so they will get money now that they wouldn't have had the old 50 year law stood

The latter Bob, it's a very timely piece of legislation which amazingly at one stage was opposed by the UK the Eurppean country with most to gain! Out Of Copyright merchants have been making a living off other peoples music over here for the last 5 or more years

The GWP end went up in smoke or down a landfill, the recent US discoveries may well have some of those, they're still going through a lot of paperwork and tapes. I already had the session sheets for the RCA end, the only sheet music was Sweetest One by the Metros which got a proper commercial release as it was a small hit.

No they were GWP/RCA acetates, music sheets, photos and stuff, not masters. They were more to do with the NYC end of RCA's stuff rather than the Detroit set-up.

Darrow Fletcher 60S Or 70S Cd?
Actually I was talking mainly about the unissueds, apart from the Secret Weapon, there's one which sounds like a dancer but I've only heard the rough mix from 24 track multi so it's hard to gauge.

6TS 100 Club 32nd Anniversary Inc Kent - Pied Piper World Debuts
6TS 100 Club 32nd Anniversary Incorporating Kent / Pied Piper Productions world debuts Ace / Kent records are proud to announce that they have signed a deal with Pied Piper Productions for licensing their legendary mid 60s Detroit soul recordings. The vast majority of the master tapes have turned up along with unreleased gems from September Jones (4 stunning tracks including the original versions of both Mikki Farrow’s Karate sides with different lyrics), The Cavaliers, Willie Kendrick and our very own Lorraine Chandler. Lorraine’s tracks include a stunning ballad called ‘Lost Without You’ and the ethereal beauty of ‘I Hear Music’. The tapes are being copied in the USA and hopefully more gems will emerge for Northern Soul spins and eventual Kent releases. If you have already secured your tickets for this sold-out night of bliss, get down early for the first listening spins or wait until the peak hours to debut them on the floor. Ady Pictured is an original acetate of September’s ‘Stuttering Sam’-written by Lorraine along with Jack Ashford, Shelley Haims and Joe Hunter and a master tape box of that plus her ‘Voo Doo Madamoiselle’

Northern Soul - The Film - News, mainstream and more
By the by, i thought the Shane Meadows skinhead film started off great and then slumped into psychotic stereotype way too quickly with obvious results. 6 out of ten at best.

Darrow Fletcher 60S Or 70S Cd?
Thanks for the responses everybody. We've decided to go with a separate CD for the two main musical periods of Darrow's life 1965-1971 and 1975- early 80s. Yet another modern soul track, courtesy of a SS member, is on its way to us and is meant to be great, so there should be about 23 tracks on the first CD probably out in March and 19 in general longer tracks on the 70s CD. Including a longer version of The Rising Cost Of Love. The two CDs will cover all his recordings that we know about. Ta Ady

Don't be ridiculous, it's scheduled for a refit in 2050. It was nice and slidey at the last one though.

It's called positive action and the kids will either get it or not but will have some fun on the way. If it sticks with a few it will have been well worth it and is primarily done with the idea of getting authentic young dancers for the film. I'm sure the tutors will allow for individual expression within the basics, in fact from what I've seen of a few there are several who do their own thing. In the 80s a lot of young kids in London followed Keb's moves because they liked them, this isn't very far removed from that. The alternative way for Soul Boy was to hire professional dancers and try to get them to catch it in a few days; it didn't work Ady

Just heard it and it's a better dance version than Pompeii, very good indeed. Ady

Is this a different version to the Pompeii by Ike and Tina?

Most importantly the geezer on the right of the photo's my lad Will; temporarily a Manchester barman awaiting the thespian calls. Elaine's doing this very professionally and creditably; all the music producers song rights will be covered of course.

Margie Joseph - In The Name Of Love - Usa / German Stax Lp
Sorry folks it's an Ace pressing for our Stax label that was issued in the UK and just happened to be pressed in Germany. The test pressings would have come from our offices.

Darrow Fletcher 60S Or 70S Cd?
Not in the slightest and Darrow, like all of us, could use the money! The bootleggers should be very ashamed.

Darrow Fletcher 60S Or 70S Cd?
Yeah, we've found some very good high quality, finished (though in some cases not mixed yet) sides. i just wasn't sure if he was revered on the 70s scene as much as he is on the 60s (which actually came as a bit of a surprise to me too).

Darrow Fletcher 60S Or 70S Cd?
I do think his career had two distinct halves to it, the anguished teen and the more sophisticated man, but we're open to all suggestions and comments so thanks for the ones above and please keep them coming Ady

Darrow Fletcher 60S Or 70S Cd?
Is there enough interest in Darrow as a 70s artist to do a CD of all his 70s work which will feature quite a few good unissueds (only one or maybe two are dancers; very good though) to sell to a modern soul crowd without including his 60s stuff? His 3 big modern 45s will be on there. We'd do his 60s stuff separately if we did this. Or should we just do the very best of his overall career? This is market research from the 70s crowd really, we're pretty sure the 60s crowd would buy whichever has his big 60s numbers on them. Ady
