Sounds the same to me, thanks Benji. What's the difference with the Kent LP before i try to dig them out?

I thoroughly enjoyed their show at the Jazz cafe. I'm not so keen on their funkier (to the exclusion of soul) numbers but could appreciate the sound and the skill of them and when they added the extra soul quotient they were stunning. It was great to see such a big healthy line up in a group and they were splendid company when they came down to see the crowd post gig. My only criticism was them doing their big Northern number 2nd in the set and that was before they were really into their stride. The 4th track was particularly good but I can't remember the title! They threw in a great version of Stay Close To Me a la 5 stairsteps.

We did about 100 LPs and are around 270 on CDs, so lets hope you kept the order going! Cheers Ady

I think there would have been about a thousand of each on the coloured vinyls (002 on yellow as well). They sold all over the world so are probably quite scarce now.

Sorry I couldn't resist the flippant reply. It's been deleted a long time with no plans for a re-press, though it is a brilliant single which is yet to have its day, methinks. We're just working on an OC Smith CD now we've found a bunch of new old master tapes. It should be a great comp.

That's a big shop Geoff.

Politics is generally seen as a bad thing on the scene but can also be an excuse to bury heads in sand. The scene ain't perfect and criticisms and suggestions may be negative or can be positive and improve the scene. I agree with any customer who says they don't want to be involved as they pay their entrance money and should have an enjoyable evening listening and dancing to great soul records. However if they think something's not right, be it lighting PA, the playing of bootlegs, nasty bouncers, venues clashing or disreputable practices, then they've got every right to comment either in private or on a public platform like this. It really shouldn't be a term of horror as it incorporates so much of our scene (by adoption of it as terminology for just about any gripe), but participate or don't it's your call. Ady

If January 2011 is an indication of just what sort of year soul release wise 2011 is going to be, then we are in for a treat! Kent have just stepped into the limelight with news of their new batch of 5 x 45s, 3 on the limited edition imprint City and Two on the town one. You may have read on the forums or indeed heard some of the City 45s out and about via regular soul source members, if haven't am sure that when you do you will join the band of anticapting soul fans! Words from Ady... NEW BATCH OF 5 KENT 45S RELEASED 31ST JAN 2011 KENT CITY SPENCER WIGGINS I'M AT THE BREAKING POINT / MAKE ME YOURS CITY 017 At last the biggest Crossover record of the past decade, Spencer Wiggins 'I'm At The Breaking Point' is available on vinyl. A recent master tape discovery from the famed Fame studios, it is coupled with a stunning update of Bettye Swann's soul classic 'Make Me Yours'. This is a taster of the Fame wonders which Ace will issue in 2011. WILLIE BOLLINGER/WILLIE WALKER I WON'T HAVE TO CRY NO MORE / RUN AROUND CITY 018 The Willies (Bollinger and Walker) cut classic southern soul for Sound Of Memphis productions, though inexplicably few were issued at the time. These two sides have picked up a lot of modern soul plays from acetates and carvers in recent months and the limited edition press is sure to sell out fast. LARRY BANKS / BOBBY PENN OOH IT HURTS ME / WITHOUT YOUR LOVE CITY 019 'Ooh It Hurts Me', aka 'Sweet Baby' as released by Al Gardner, gained a huge following when the Metros RCA cover of it was discovered by Kent in the 90s. This is the original recording by the song's creator; the musical genius Larry Banks. Flip it over for the best version of his own composition 'Without Your Love' which was released as an LP track by the Hesitations, covered exquisitely by the Shaladons but given extra added punch by the unknown Bobby Penn. NB All the Kent Select singles with the City catalogue number are limited presses and several are sold out and deleted already; so don't hang about. RUDY LOVE AND THE COMPANY/PERCY MILEM SUFFERING WRATH - CALL ON ME TOWN 139 Northern's gone funky in recent years and here's the track probably more responsible than any for the conversion. 'Suffering Wrath' is a tough title for a dirty, mean, belter of a song: beware. Percy Milem's 'Call On Me' has been admired for decades by the soul cognoscenti but is about to take off big-time. It's just been featured in the recently released Northern Soul film "Soul Boy" and sounds perfect among the Wigan stompers; even if it never actually got spun there. THE ANTELLECTS / THE RAVINS LOVE SLAVE /YOUR LOVE IS WHAT I WANT TOWN 140 We were tempted to put the stunningly rare combination of the Antellects and Ravins only known singles onto the Kent Select label. However they were actually issued at the time of their recording, even if there are less than ten of the former and possibly only two of the latter. Snap them up sharpish , before they dissolve into the ether once more. Still available CITY 005 The Two Of Us Danny Cobus CITY 005 You Won't Miss The Water Chico & Buddy CITY 007 Mata Hari Chet "Poison" Ivey CITY 007 Oh Baby Don't You Weep Luther Ingram CITY 008 I'm Gonna Start A War Barbara & The Browns CITY 008 Loving By The Pound Otis Redding CITY 009 Gone With The Wind Is My Love Rita and the Tiaras CITY 009 Gone With The Wind Is My Love The Dore Strings CITY 010 Lean Lanky Daddy Little Ann CITY 010 Who Are You Trying To Fool Dave Hamilton Orchestra CITY 011 Country Girl aka Home At Last Little Willie John CITY 011 (I Need) Someone Little Willie John CITY 012 Let's Talk It Over Spencer Wiggins CITY 012 Love Attack Spencer Wiggins CITY 013 Changes Lilly Fields CITY 013 We Can Do It The Shaladons CITY 014 What'cha Gonna Do Phillip & The Faithfuls CITY 014 Until The End Of Time The Additions CITY 015 A Man Is A Mean Thing Barbara Perry CITY 015 I've Got a Feeling For You Baby Gladys Bruce CITY 016 Hang On In There Girl The Jesse Davis Band CITY 016 Hang On In There Girl Jesse Davis TOWN 113 Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right The Mayberry Movement TOWN 113 Don't Send Nobody Else Millie Jackson TOWN 114 Baby Without You Danny Monday TOWN 114 I've Been Hurt So Many Times Larry Davis TOWN 115 The Streets Got My Lady Bill Brandon TOWN 115 Tin Man John Edwards TOWN 116 You Got Me Turned Around O C Tolbert TOWN 116 Challenge My Love Tobi Lark TOWN 118 I'm The Man Albert Washington TOWN 118 The Well's Gone Dry Dorothy Williams TOWN 119 The Magic Touch Melba Moore TOWN 119 Bricks, Broken Bottles And Sticks Dean Parrish TOWN 120 Talkin' About My Baby Dottie & Millie TOWN 120 Happiness Is Here Tobi Lark TOWN 121 What Should I Do Little Ann TOWN 121 Who Are You Trying To Fool Little Ann TOWN 122 Gonna Wait For You The Pentagons TOWN 122 Do Yourself A Favor The Themes TOWN 123 I Can't Get Away Bobby Garrett TOWN 123 Is She In Your Town?

Yes I was shocked. A Detoit fan in Nottingham just pointed me to an article on Jerrio saying they didn't earn a dime from it because Berry Gordy sued 'em! I'd love to know the details of the case. They were of course a bit ahead of their time!
-
She was Ann but just called Little from when she was a kid, before she grew quite tall!
-
Possibly not Pete, it defo exists on an unissued Motown recording from 1963! Eddie Thomas must have liberated the backing track tape! Ady
-
Cheers chaps, and what a little mover it is too! I dug it at the time and still do.
-
I can probably answer that! The styrene's got 1975 on it, the vinyl ain't! Is that right people?
-
Boot v original; how'd ya tell? I've got a styrene and a vinyl
-
But Little Ann wasn't little!
-
The ABC release was 1965, what's the earliest known recording that utilises this track? Ady

True, and it's OTT but at least you can get a pint rather than have to buy two half pint bottles at £3 each like in t'other clubs.

Hey Godz, I might well be down there, depending on how wrecked I get at KGF tonight. If you can recognise me from my 80 years ago avatar say hello. Apparently my mate Big Joe Louis is on at 8 and he's great so get there early! Funnily enough Trickster is DJing up the road at a do that ex Northern Soul DJ Keb Darge is also playing at so if you need some further out music check that out, I think the details are on FaceBook, but I can't work it very well Ady

Can't do it I'm afraid. Westminster won't allow any clubs open after 6am. We're having one when the clocks go back in Oct and we've got it until 6am new time, so at least it won't be an extra hour for DRimmer and similar Thomas the Tank Engine fans.
-
Sorry, no it was the third track from the TCB 45 session that didn't come out.
