The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. Russ, U meks oiy laaaaarf! Regards, Dave

Hi all, I'm looking for the following on PINK DECCA DEMOS ONLY. Must have no sol, wol or any other gubbins. 123 Like A Baby You Baby Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave

Yep, same bloke Mark. Regards, Dave

Good shout Mark, To anyone who fancies meeting up with him, Matt is a great bloke who's squeezed more into his life than most. He's a great raconteur who's met just about every Detroit icon from the mid 60s. Well worth pressing the flesh' if you get the chance. Ask him about his time with John Rhys Eddins and about his time on the Bahamas Cruise route. I was lucky enough to spend a day on his ranch with him and his wife a few years ago. Only downside was that he'd just mailed his last copy (day before I arrived), of You Better Go-Go to Pete Smith! If you're anywhere near a set of drums then watch out! He's a Whirling Dirvisher when he gets behind a set of skins! Regards, Dave

Mine came from Arizona. I got stung early on with this for $1000. I wasn't at all embarrassed though. Why should I be, I didn't do anything wrong? I paid good money and received a counterfeit. The first thing I did was let people know. But then again, I haven't a box for 'requests use' only as I'm not a DJ. It was a boot so therefore it got binned. I did get a credit for the 1k too. I also pinged the Robbie Lawson as soon as it appeared. I also let folks know. Didn't stop a few diving in for what they thought was a bargain though. Regards, Dave

Looking for these 3 : 1. Supremes - Nothing But Heartaches - Motown (MAP DESIGN WHITE DEMO) (I have a minty plain WDJ/Pic Sleeve to trade if anyone wants that and cash). 2. Sonny Sitt - 00 Soul Of - Wingate WHITE DEMO (Can anyone confirm they actually have one?) 3. Intrigues - In A Moment - Bullet WHITE DEMO Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave

OK - Thanks for the contributions guys. The weave of mid 60s music business credits eh?. Hustle upon hustle. The Lost Nite version of Nevertheless is the only 45 with credits for that particular song. The backing track is the same as the other two songs that are identical but the credits conflict on those too. If anyone comes across this thread in the future and can thrown any light on any provenance of the credits I'd be grateful. Regards, Dave

Has anyone any provenance in reference to: The Vibrations - Gonna Get Along without You Now - OKeh (March 1966) and Lee Andrews - Neverthless - Crimson (1967) Lee Andrews and The Hearts - Can't Do Without You - Lost Night Different writers, different publisher? but same song. Obviously the link between the two Lee Andrews songs is there but anyone know how the song came to be retitled and recorded by Lee Andrews under a different writers credit? Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave

FANTASTICO! Well done Pal! Regards, Dave

Go to the Sound Plus thread in the AATS forum. It will explain the Sound Plus label's relationship with Sound Stage Seven. Regards, dave

Hi Dave, Exactly. I'm not convinced of any connection either, hence my request for info. I'm not very clued up on the Nashville stuff so I'm hoping someone can confirm/deny the facts. Thanks for the info on the SS7 material, I'll get onto getting one. Meanwhile, if anyone has any info on Tony Luisi after his Sound Plus days, I'd be grateful for a shout. Regards, Dave

Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply Are you 100% sure though? Joe bought the place on 12th Street (the old Reco Arts studio), and renamed it Sigma, that's correct. Sound Plus at one stage though was based on Harbison Avenue, I believe that's where the majority of their output originated from, via Bendinelli and Lovett and before a short lived move to the Reco-Art location. Joe Tarsia bought Reco-Arts so I'm thinking that Sound Plus didn't even make a dent in the city's concienceness. I know Richbourg had no connection with the Philly location but Richbourg's partner in Sound Plus (Nashville) was Tony Luisi, the exact same name as the owner of Sound Plus in Philly. The Sound Plus label was focused mainly on reissuing the Sound Stage Seven catalogue, so I'm wondering there's any provenance that maybe links Luisi who I believe sold out his business to a Texan couple with the reissue label? So, Same name of owner, same name of label. Coincidence? It might well be but it's an odd if so eh? Exact same names. Is there a CD of the Sound Stage Seven/Sound Plus releases? Regards, Dave

Question... Can someone confirm that the Sound Plus label out of Nashville that reissued a lot of the Sound Stage Seven catalogue was owned by the same guy who owned Sound Plus Studios on Harbison Ave in Philadelphia? Any help appreciated guys. Regards, Dave

Bob A will be your man. Regards, Dave

Kinda thing. I bought a missing Carnival Demo # but haven't received anything. Had a message a couple of weeks ago saying it was going to be mailed shortly but no responses since. Just wandered if anyone knows him and he has a 'real life' problem that precludes him from mailing stuff? Hopefully it'll all turn out OK. Regards, Dave

Ebay Seller ID: soulmemorabiliauk Think his name is Dave - He's from Bradford I think? Regards, Dave

Thing is about records like this. They're around...........but they go into collections and stay there. Hence the value. I've never owned one but would love one. I've had the chance on numerous occasions but always thought the condition of the ones on offer was pants. It's mammoth. It's Northern soul all over. It's Detroit, it's by 'unknown' people, it's fookin' brilliant! If I had $4716 hanging around in my vinyl paypal account I'm yer man. unfortunately I have to settle for The Lovelites - Bumpy Road Ahead - Lovelite Issue for today's addition to the shelves. Denny - Bring it September please. Regards, Dave

PM sent. Regards, Dave

Yep, I'm not 100% sure that there is a WDJ of Sonny Sitt. Someone sad they'd seen one so I'm hopeful, hence the punt. Any Detroit anal...anoraks out there confirm if they have one? Regards, Dave

Looking for good clean copies of the following on PROMOS only: Tommy Hunt - Words Can Never Tell It - Dynamo Sonny Sitt - Double 0 Soul Of - Wingate (Anyone seen one?) Supremes - Nothing But Heartaches - Motown (Map Design only) Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave

When I started learning my personal ambition was always to play the raucus sax solo in George Clinton's "Please Don't Run From Me". I did eventually manage a 'poor man's version'. Also, of course the opening salvo of Jr Walker's "I Ain't Going Nowhere" is stooopendous (and a little easier to learn). Regards, Dave

It's happening here in Spain now with the customs. They've had a 45 of mine in there for two weeks now. The 45 is en route to my Post Office now but only after they squeezed 25 Euros out of me for their service! (No tax payable as the package was valued below the threshold, but they charged me tax on the postage costs?? and the rest was a bill for their service!) Their service? All they did was intercept my mail and fookin' well blackmail me to get it out again! Once I get the package in my mits I'm off to the police to see if I can charge the Customs or Post Office with anything. (This is Spain and you never know! ) Regards, Dave

Just so people who are maybe not aware:Much of this type of info is already available on the site through Roger's "Sharp End Of Vinyl". Great asset that is building daily. Regards, Dave

Doesn't bootleg have a Monarch Delta #? Regards, Dave
