Yep boot that I believe emanated from Northern America possibly connected to an ex-pat with a dodgy syrup.

Autographs Loves Gonna Do You In - Joker 714
I said Howard but it was Bobby Nicholson an original member of the Creators (not related to the early 60s Dore group weirdly) who had Little Johnny Hamilton and Milton James as lead singers. You never saw the listed Milton James on Chatahoochie did you? He had never heard of it.

Freeman King also recorded with Arthur Wright for Kent/Modern in the late 60s.

Autographs Loves Gonna Do You In - Joker 714
Freeman King produced the first Little Johnny Hamilton and Milton James & The Creators record on Burn with band member Howard Nicholson (thanks to Richard Lewis for that info). I'd love to see and hear the Robins if you've got it Rob. Ady

Dramatics Inky Winky-Dave Hamilton
Thanks for all the responses people, I'd still love to know of any other Dave Hamilton credits like this one. I know he was involved with the Chalfontes on Mercury which like Inky Winky was a co-production with Andre Williams are there any other, particularly for majors? Also he was signed to MRC publishing for a while and the Chalfontes is the only place I've noticed that but I haven't been looking till now.

Dramatics Inky Winky-Dave Hamilton
Thanks, I've seen that side but not the flip or any sound on either. Dave had a productive career from the late 40s onwards.

Dramatics Inky Winky-Dave Hamilton
Well thanks Pete! We're not at our most illuminating this morning Soul Sourcers, where's Rob K when I need him (asleep)? Speaking of which I also found Dave and hi Peppers credited on Solid As A Rock by Bobby Lewis on Spotlight. If anyone's got that I'd like to hear/see it.

Dramatics Inky Winky-Dave Hamilton
Bloody hell-fire, I never knew Dave had co-produced it with Andre Williams. It was one of the first Northern Records I ever danced to. Am I dumb or is it so well known nobody bothered to mention it? Maybe you shouldn't answer too honestly! Ady

The Story of Northern Soul Writer and cultural historian CP Lee explores the strange world of Northern Soul music, which first came to Britain in the early 1960s. This underground cultural phenomenon was driven by a love of black American artists who had failed to make a success in the USA. Contributors include designer Wayne Hemingway, producer Ian Levine, DJ Jo Wallace and Stuart Cosgrove A few there with very big gaps in their CVs. I don't think this will be too comprehensive of the last 45 years; maybe that club in Wigan will get a mention. I'm not bitter though.

Youtube Northern Soul Ad
Anyone know what it's about? I tried to watch a Honeycone vid and it came up first. I didn't skip after 5 secs and watched the whole nearly 2 mins worth and its an amateurish collage of obvo Northern and vintage photos of venues and dancers etc but I can't see why its up there and who would pay for it as there doesn't seem to be a product to flog. The only funny bit is seeing a record shop with southern Northern DJ Ady Lupton looking through the racks for no obvious reason.

Majestic Soul - May Issue - My Tunes
Scorching set and super night. Top dancer was Fish Ain't Biting and top record Fascinations Just Another Reason. I never thought I'd get a chance to dance/sway to that at a club. That's why majestic is #1 for me

I don't doubt it Dave but you've got a better memory than me.

Boot V's Original Tamala Lewis You Wont Say Nothing Marton
It must have been just after that Ian Clark and I found about 6 copies in a New Jersey shop-similar number of New York In The Dark. It was a massive sound and I sold mine to Ginger and Sam at St Ives. I thought it was George's but they were cheap so it may have been the one in Plainfield.

"stronger Than Her Love" Group Line-Up
That article was a bit of a puff piece, I've still got an inkling they don't think the Festival release was them. I'll ask, would be simplest!

"stronger Than Her Love" Group Line-Up
Have we ever ascertained who these Flirtations were? My memory gets worse but I know the Old Town Flirts reckoned it wasn't them despite the Sid Barnes connection; I think they thought they'd left for England by the time it was recorded though it's very hard to date the Festival releases.
