Time to change jobs

I agree but I'm not sure what the others look like.

As Gareth says both the 10" acetates came from the Hanway St Carlin/Jobete publishers deal. I'm not sure about the legitimacy of others unless a totally trustworthy source can verify they were made in the 60s not 80s or 90s when a few dodgy dealers were about.

Just sent you a score mark, how much are we short now? Or is JM in a charitable mood now LCFC are Number One?

good idea Sean, I'll chip in for one of the blagards. How much do I owe you Mark?

Hang on then, there's a slight possibility I'm talking out of my arse, I'll check. looks like they all might be like that!

Glad you like it Steve, the slow original version of Wear Your Natural will be on the Modern Masterpieces Vol 2 CD in late Jan. It's the same pace as the demo but the original 45 performance.

No that's an oddity, mine's OK but I seem to remember someone else saying this so a ew must be wrong.

That play might get you off the hook. I'll bring a wet paper bag down for Mike to handle.

I'm sure it is, i just wanna see it!

No it's straight out of Karime's private collection. If Foggy comes down to the 100 Club tomorrow, he'd better watch out for a slap from a doting daughter: and Winston won't help him!

I've never seen a label with any red in it, can anyone put one up?

The producer of Joss' 1st album was a big collector who I Djed with at one of the NYC Soul club dos once, nice geezer who had picked out some of his favourite tracks from his collection for her to cover. The Billy Garner tracks on BGP are all excellent funk and produced by the legendary Detroit producer Dave Hamilton whose other more Northern soul than funk CDs are available on Kent of course.

That's keeping me off the streets and my market value's been plummetting lately, so thanks. I was hoping for a free Kent jingle from Ian and his artists really!

Why would it be a wind-up it's a good record. The Parlophone one, I didn't know it had been re-done.

I'm a big fan of Steve Mancha's 'It's All Over The Grapevine', is there any chance you could level up the soul reissue label namechecks and record someone on say 'Hopping Down In Kent'?

sOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES WILL DEFO BE HAPPENING. tHEY'RE NOT ALL ON cd YET EITHER.

I love this sort of thing, it gives us a much better picture of how the music business was run then. Any Dave Hamilton related stuff? Thanks Ady

Between 400 and 500 over the years, certainly no more than that..

I've got it in a brown paper promotional sleeve that I've never seen before or since.

Thanks peoples. Tim had met David blake some years previously so perhaps he was helping him clear the mess up.

Sorry i may have jumped to the conclusion too quickly. It's just that It's Better To Cry was written by Dave Blake and Frankie Nieves for Phil Medley's Starflower set up which is all totally NYC. I'm waiting on a reply from Dave about it, it could just have been that the song was picked up by the Detroit people. Mel from Ormskirk mentioned the Tempests backing them on Soul Talk, I have no idea where he got that from.

I don't know anything about a second release on JW on Valise, can anyone enlighten me. Also what's the theory on the Appreciations being on Sport a Detroit label innit?
