Two, the one on the first LP and CD and now this. Val Simpson also did a demo version which I happen to have on acetate.

Yes probably, it's not a great term to use, I'm gonna avoid it in future. Different cities were different though, I think downtown in LA was the rougher area.

I use Uptown, to describe slick, smooth, well produced soul like the Impressions, Maxine Brown, Bettye Swann, Tony Clarke etc. i think it's probably not a very good term, a bit vague, but if you see it in the Ace catalogue it's probably Chicago or NYC soul though Motown would probably be Uptown too. Early Stax wouldn't be.

Oh yeah, they did have a US series.

Which US label is this from?

It's just a great unreleased dancer that we never put out before; partly because I was hoping we might find a version with strings or extra instruments, but it does have a great brass section and may have been the finished version after all. It's defo Wand but we don't know who wrote or produced it.

That wasn't the 6TS night though. I agree he's a good geezer with taste and is hopefully gonna help me a bit with the Kent Harris Story CD.

The Frank Minion on Vik that I play is 1956 I think and at West Hampstead we used to play Fats Waller Your Feet's Too Big but not for a proper dance more a group hug at the end of the night.

I agree and the other Van McCoy non 45 LP track Wonder What My baby's Doing Tonight is utterly brilliant too, i speculate as to why it was never a 45 in the notes and Maxine concurs to an extent.

At last it's the proper Wand 45, and it's funny that all other reissues since copied our audio and made exactly the same mistake. This is the first time the right take has been on CD. I Want A Guarantee is purposefully a quite different equally good vocal take to the original that we put out as we thought it deserved an airing. Why Did I Choose You is a very good dancer that has never been heard before.

I like the office where I can spy on everyone on CCTV! The bar's been particularly interesting recently.

Sorry Torture didn't appear on an anniversary single, just a Kent one. Have another go.

No they were passers by who decided to punch Winston, which was a bad move all round. I can't remember the Ion incident at all but I hope it happened. Putting off a tricky bit of work so I get that adrenalin rush when I realise I'm about to miss the deadline.

You call it "listening to a track" now then!

OK then Feb 26th is International Soul Source 100 Club Threads Day.

No but your site name is.

I had a monkey on the 3.30.

Just played Ace's discographer Peter Gibbon's copy of Floyd Barber on Symbol, it's very good but inbetween so many styles, Northern, mod R&B. Has it ever had any plays or action?

Sharon Scott and Judy Clay and the Devonnes

No it was Don't Jump Off The Roof Dad by Tommy Cooper or possibly Jack Douglas' version of Swanee River " Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy down upon the Swanee River"

I once threw a bloke up the stairs in an altercation with a gang of mainly mad women, he was surprisingly light; but I had been provoked.

I would have thought the Roseberry Ave do but not certain. Was the E&C do in a warehouse on an industrial estate?

I think they deserve to be!

Is this the first time some fool has nabbed the first 4 threads on all about the soul for a club or any topic?
