Hi Dante, Phew!! I was beginning to think the dog got it!! CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS TO CHICAGO! ......Dusty Groove just sold out and put in a re-order. Thanks to all for the continued support. Only a few of the first print run left now so if you're thinking of ordering an 'original" copy now would be the time... after these have gone it'll be the "reissue" www.theresthatbeat.com Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Some REALLY BIG lad will have to prize them from my dead cold fingers! The whole collecting experience has given me too much pleasure whilst putting them all next to each other to sell them off like mere chattels! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

We were beginning to wonder where you were Mark! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Pete, I'm a complete ignoramus as far as all this palava is concerned. Fancy starting a thread (in Freebasing if needs be) that folks like me can ask questions etc? I know the basics like Ken Boothe, Marley, Dekker and other artists that had commercial success in UK but beyond that I'm clueless. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

John, Did you get my message about the Weekender in Florida? Rgards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Much much harder on the W/Demo. Took me a few years to locate. Price? I would've thought 20 quid? Limited demand see. But then I'd only rate the stocker @ 5 quid. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Carl, Welcome to SS my friend. Chase the dream. Keep at it. You'll get lots of encouragement from "soul-sourcers". Regards, Dave www.theresesthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Can't think of many more examples of "all round class" that would warrant you to break your previous limit. And it'll last forever Mate. Good call! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hey Dave, Appreciate it Mate. you get my email last week? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Roger, I have the Palmer catalogue. I'm looking for info on the set up of the label. For years I was under the impression it was Palmer Jones, but thats was wrong. It was owned by the late John Kaplan's Kay Jay company. On the face of it Palmer was a "typical" mid successful imprint. Local talent, lots of garage type music on the label as well as some awesome soul records. Was there a park in Detroit called Palmer Park or am I getting confused with Fairmount in Philly? So...Where did the name Palmer come from? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

The hunt is on for Duke Browner. I know he has converted to Islam and shuns his past musical heritage, but there seems also to be very little archival material about him. His work with The Volumes throughout their careers and his involvement with Harry Balk are all "statistical" info but there are very few anecdotal references to him anywhere. Anyone got ANY info on him? I have all his writing/producing credits etc but would like to get behind the facts and learn something about the man himself? I don't know anyone that has an image (photo/pic) of him. Anyone help? Absolutely anything on/about him I would appreciate. The Impact Story seems incomplete without his history. Also....Palmer Records? Info? Not Palmer Jones, Not Palmer James, Ed Kaplan? Any Info anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.

Anyone know anything about the people credited on the disc? This is obviously way after Joe's production heyday but it'd be interesting to tie up the loose ends a little. 15 years between the Manhattans 45s and this one? What happened in between I wonder as far as UK "product" was concerned? Label "resurrected" with leased in work maybe? Any help/details appreciated. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
