Bumping this, there's gotta be kind soul with it. it sounds pretty good too from the bit i heard off John's site.

Can anyone with this rare record contact me by PM please. ta Ady

Thanks but it does feature the duets, one is an extended version.

Tony's covered it well, it shouldn't be too long now and the quality is at least as good as the other two and with every track previously unreleased even more exciting. From a personal viewpoint I found Sharon Scott's Lock & Key and I'm Not Afraid, brilliant and better than either side of her 45 which is excellent of course, and It's Better is much better than the white released version. Kenny Carter's What's That On Your Finger is brilliant and beats Willie Kendrick. Willie's She'll Be Leaving You is a Detroit masterpiece. Ditto for the Cavaliers Ooh It Hurts Me. I'm also very keen on the Metros My Imagination and of course Lorraine's YOLT. The unissueds on the new one by Nancy Wilcox are miles better than the 45 and there are some more great Kenny Carters and Lorraine Chandlers plus a couple of surprises even I ain't heard yet. Can't wait!

Yeah she sang it brilliantly apart from an unsure ending. She didn't even know the Musicor 45 'Don't Cry' had come out!

They filmed me explaining to her all about the record and how it came out and got so popular, she wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry but in the end was happy that the music had been saved and popularised and we're helping her get her royalty cheque for it. I had shorts on and kept crossing my legs which upset the cameraman; so it might be a funny film! The original acetates that Keb and I played were made in 1984 or 1985.

As you say Mace, the 6TS (and Kent records) early years benefited from the Mod revival. There was a bunch of mods called the Glory Boys who came down the first night, they were a bit of a pain and never came again, but more enlightened mods who'd just discovered the scene and were eager for more came along to West Hampstead (Eddie's mates Chad & Del, Vaughan Toulouse, Kev Collins, The Small Hours and Seventeen groups) and the early 100 Club evening dos until we went a lot more Northern with the all nighters. From then on they either got converted to Northern or just dipped in and out as the mood took 'em. With the interest in R&B coming back a lot more visit regularly, depending on who the DJs are and some like Andy BB and Dunc and Steph stayed mod but preferred Northern. And of course the Crossfire dos are the perfect mod/Northern amalgam where people like a bit of both (and sometimes the other) can go into whichever room they prefer and meet up with their muckers at the bar. Oh yeah and the two geezers who started the 6TS were mods originally anyway. (and we've got the listed Geoff coming down for a dance nowadays 46 years since he started at The Scene club!)

Yeah, multi tasking. Yes Little Sister 'somebody's Watching You' great record.

Sly Stone, his sister Rose and his cousin Latanya (or something similar!) Well that was the group that backed a 17 year old Gloria Scott in 1965(?) as she just told me.

Thanks Rob, I'll be there as long as the sickness bug that's got me up at 3 am doesn't do for me!

it has been mentioned but it'd cost a lot so may not happen for a while.

And on our new Jackie Lee CD we have his previously unissued version of Roy Head's Treat Her Right, a bit of reciprocal song covering there!

Sherlie Matthews lived with Vanetta and worked in OZ for several years too. Lemme know if you see an ad for Jackie Lee at the Torch, i can only find them as a duo. ta Ady

I actually bought a copy off Juggy it was one of the few things he had left.

There were the Sensible Soul all nighters we've had a separate thread on, one was at Roseberry Ave in Clerkenwell, not far from Dickens' house; but I think it was after he's moved.

Not for definite but they were also a Juggy recording so highly likely. Cheers Ady

Or just as Bob & Earl following the 1969 Harlem Shuffle re-release hit?

Thanks I didn't know the lasses name

Thanks Keith, that puts it pretty certainly as a Jackie Lee record then. Cheers Ady

Thanks Keith that's the one I meant, if you play oth sides does it sound male/fmale or male/male. The Soul Harmony book had it down for a female duo so i can guess it's gonna sound quite that way.

Barry White said it was him and Bob Relf, Jackie Lee said it was him and a girl? Anyone have the record or know for definite? Ta Ady

I think it may have originated from a bloke with a dodgy syrup in one of the countries in North America. He used to sell a lot of Island soul to old West Indians who went mad for this track.

I had a yellow dj copy same as the issue with "dj" possibly "not for sale" as well; in black ink, very unassuming.

We're checking the CCTV today Rob. Really sorry to hear about this. Ady
