He's changed his tune in recent decades, he has to kiss a lot more Brit ass these days since the doo wops dried up. I actually preferred him when he was grumpy and considered all soul fans tossers. Despite that we got on well until one day he accused me of nicking records after I'd been going there for ten years and thought we had a decent relationship. He had a hissy fit and I was very close to cracking him one, I had Jimmy Andrews 'Big City Playboy' in my pile for $3 though so decided against it. I didn't bother going back though. Ady

Label designs and images are usually only owned by the label owner but I think it's only used as a weapon against people who are directly profiting from that image. The most obvious one is T shirt sellers using a label logo they have no rights to eg Stax, Motown, Mirwood etc. To do it legit the T shirt manufacturer would have to get permission and probably pay a fee or royalty Ady

Yes it's good but just a bit too slow in parts to get the dancefloor going. A very rockish voice too. Very interesting, i didn't know about it. Cheers Ady

Does this sound like a 1965 Impressions track or is it obviously 1971? If anyone could put it in Refosoul that would be good. Ta Ady

Could anyone kindly whack it up in Refosoul? Cheers Ady

Super obscure Detroit release, anyone got a good copy? Ady

I forget the artist Super obscure Detroit release, anyone got a copy? Ady

Hi Phil, I don't know the Billboards at all and would love to see a scan or at least know the credits from the label please. Cheers Ady

I know Jerry but England are a serious cricket team and can still nearly lose to the Dutch.

One of the worst written songs ever; it's agony listening to the title being sung and wondering whether they can cram all the words in in time. In fact it reminds me of my favourite limerick There was a young man from Japan Whose limericks would never scan When told this was so He said "Yes I know" but the trouble is I always try and cram as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can

You've gotta get it for the original to Tom & Jerrio's 'Boogaloo' alone. Brilliant rhythm and 3 years ahead of the game.

Sketchy ain't the word, it hardly mentions Ellie being with the group, I got that from Wikipoos and T. Rounce.

That was the conclusion I came to Dave and Andy, where is it documented so that I can state it as fact? The instrumental track is remarkably similar, especially the guitar solo, I reckon they re-cut the vocal only and did a different mix.

I remember it as 50 but let's hope you were right, I could use the tenner. Are you from Corby or Kettering then? Ady

Excellent and a K-Bee production on the boot, possibly Colin Bee and somebody who's name begins with K? Thanks very much Ady

A tailor made or a boot or summat?

That was probably the first play when i flogged it to him. it cleared the floor and I sneaked away whistling nonchalantly.

I've just been told this won't affect our nights, so basically YIPPEEEEEEE! A new dancefloor was definitely being talked about. You've stumped me on the Cliff film Dave, I've never heard it described as Club 100 though. Ady

Eh? The UK number is totally different Ady

Thanks folks. Ady

Anyone know what Ginger called it when he first spun it out? Ady

This one just gets sillier. It was actually Val's US 3.20 version I was comparing to the 5.02 version I've got and thought it was the same singer with a different take. Is the UK one different from that too? Could anybody put it up in Refo Soul please and maybe a scan too? Bogue my US issue looks the same as yours except it doesn't have DISCO on it. It looks like Val's 3.20 one may have come out after the UK interest and release. Rats I've just noticed mine has the same 4219 catalogue number as Val's but is the longer version! HELP

Sounds good to me, maybe I'll have to wear their plimmies when I'm on stage. I'd have preferred Sharwoods Chinese meals for two but you can't have everything.
