Hi Paul, I collect the soul variants of these 'discs". You need a hip pocket player to actually play them. Atlantic and Chess are the main players as far as soul ones are concerned. Not particuarly expensive but a nice sideline and something to pick up at record shows when the pickings are sparse, whis is more often the case nowadays. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

By a country mile Sir! I once heard Linda Jone's voice described as an "adequate yodeller!". Needles to say the guy was born deaf, had both ears amputated at birth and decided for aesthetic reasons to paint some new ones on. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

"The Scene" is what it is. It's a reflection of the people who are 'active" at that particular moment. The Oldies v Newies debate of the mid 70s, the media invasion at the same time, the jazzfunk split in the late 70s, the Mod revival of the early 80s, the return to underground scenario in the Mid 80s, the rise of the Detroit collectors at around the same time, the "returnees" of the 90s, the retro/oldies revival, the current splurge of events/'DJs" etc etc. It's all part of the tapestry. But there is always one constant. When the "DJs" have given up the ghost, when the events are playing to zimmer framed shuffling dancers, when 45s have become monetarily worthless because there's not enough people want 'em anymore, there's still that one constant tangible that will always have it hooks indellibly planted in some of us......that magical thing that started the very first minute the likes of Carl Davis or Popcorn Wylie or Ian Levine or Carl Dixon (It doesn't matter who) first took their pencil to a stave. For me personally it's that explosive drum fill that grabs your attention before handing it over to that Oh so deep bass that rumbles along in perfect 4 x 4 matching time. The swirling, heavenly strings of a Paul Riser, the simple melodic piano tinkle of a Luther Randolph arrangement, the almost non existant sax note of a Mike Terry intonation that you know if it wasn't there would change the whole sound. The complicated and echoing vibes that filter through from Jack Ashfords vibraphone and tambourine, matched by the guitar virtuosity of a Dave Hamilton or a Theodore Coffey. The skillful bringing together and synchcronising of all these assets by a wondrously talented Jerry Ragavoy, Jimmy Wisner or George Kerr. Then, just when you think musically, you're the "cat that got the cream", it happens....POW! the soulful tones of a Chuck Jackson, a Jackie Wilson, a Patrice Holloway or a Linda Jones smash their way into your chest and almost squeeze the very life out of you. A Way Of Life? Maybe not.....but it sure helps put real life on the back burner for 2 and a half minutes dunnit? Luuurve it! "The Scene", it's ups and downs. It's complicated political machinations and sometimes over the top happenings simply pale into insignificance when matched by the sound of Sammy Campbell as he opens up with ................."Darlin'!................cos you know exactly whats coming next!!!! (Insert your own intro here) That's what it's about. For me anyway..no more, no less. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Here you go Mate. Hope this will do it. PROPER NORVEN! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Just to let people know. All the records that were ordered from my last two lists are now en route. Last ones went out 15 minutes ago. Should be with you all shortly. Thanks for all the orders and .....ENJOY Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hey Phil, Good to see you back and at it Matey. You make some valid points (as does MelBratt and Steve G). Good to see a discussion without the oldies v newies bias ruining it. Kim and Lester Tipton - God bless her cotton socks! Had many a similar comment from Bev bless her! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

It's the other side that is the stunning crossover side. Similar in style but a tad more meaty tempo, great use of vibes and certainly a better song. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I think Ollie Mac did a lot of business in Chicago. Certainly the Karen records have a Chicago feel to them, (Not so much soundwise but manufacture wise), and a number of his records were actually recorded/produced there. Both sides of this record credit "The Capitols" with being at the board but I suspect Mr Terry and Ollie had a guiding hand in both sides. "I Thought She Loved Me" is Donald Storball's best composition in my opinion and the other members of group Sam George and Richard McDougall are credited as the writers of the other side. A great group effort from all involved that produced two soul sides that are top notch and a record that I would venture is not seen too often. I'd all but given up on the W/Demo until Bam! up it popped on the ole "Evilbay". Snapped it up. Now happily nestling with the rest of Ollie's 45s. Dontcha just luuuurve this collecting malarkey! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Guys, I would have thought the answer was obvous. It's simply a slice of sheer quality as far as classic Detroit soul is concerned. On a great label and reaonably hard to get again should you part with it...therefore people hold on to it. Especially if in good nick. There are plenty around...but they tend to stay in collector's boxes. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Joe, Thanks for the listing. I'm much obliged. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I'll start digging too Mate. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I have this too. Isn't it a vocal of The Coalitions on the same label? Maybe we should 'do' this label too Roger . I'm trying to find a discography for Karate Records. Anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Are the remaining ones still available? All of them? If not can you revise the list for us please? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Jo, The RCA and Big Top groups are the same. The CD is in the promo stage at the moment and I can tell you it's the dogs nads as it comes in a cardboard vintage looking sleeve. The mag may well feature the group and all it's tentacles within the Detroit music scene, in the next issue. There are lots of interesting overlaps with the group that will ceratainly surprise a few people. I'll ask Jason to send me a pic of the CD and post it up here on it's release. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

The Zerben Hicks led Dynamics may feature in the September Issue of There's That Beat! The group are on something of a revival at the moment with a CD release of lots of their hits from over the years and a new management/label in place. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Kev, Unfortunately not Mate. There's no soul rare event in Florida at all at the moment except the Weekender. Friday should be a good night. See ya there. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Oiy! Buy the mag you tight git! Or should we just publish one copy and everyone copy it? Sheeesh! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

And at least one in Florida Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
