Andy Rix

Margaret was apparently the sister of Bobby, who recorded for Vault. Nick Brown was contacted a few years ago by her daughter who saw her name listed in one of his DJ sets I'm fairly certain she is no longer with us Andy

Essentially yes .... obviously different vocal takes but not different enough to really notice Andy

Thanks Mr Thorley This one did come from JMM for sure ... Black Nasty & Herbie Thompson - Cut Your Motor Off

I think this might have come out of Johnnie Mae Mathews basement but my memory is a little hazy Does anybody know if these tracks were released or not Mr Thorley ... I'm relying on your expertise Andy

Thanks Boba I did look for a release on the Charmaines when I got it but obviously not hard enough Bee Jays tracks as released on Prime .....

Same song , different versions ... both unreleased as far as I know Andy

And an unreleased version by Marvin Gaye with a very odd musical arrangement and, sadly, isn't that memorable Andy

Joe Stevenson, who owned Del-Val etc, gave them to me bless him Andy

Whats the luther randolph take on just gotta have you like Andy I'd like to hear that I think it's included in one of the six-pack sessions that were put in in 2000 ... should be in Refosoul Andy

These must be some of the first recordings the Stylistics made ... note both written by Marty Bryant, their road manager, and Robert Douglas, a member of their backing group Slim & The Boys The songs sound nothing like the group who went on to international fame Andy

Luther Randolph demo versions of 'First Date' & 'I Just Gotta Have You' subsequently recorded by Nella Dodds

Hi Robb BMI lists the writers as Lucille White and Sidney Barnes ...... https://repertoire.bmi.com/title.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&keyID=692961&ShowNbr=0&ShowSeqNbr=0&querytype=WorkID Andy

Ronnie Forte - Tarx

Following on from the excellent thread highlighting unusual releases from around the world I thought it would be of equal interest to see label scans of acetates. I'm sure many of us have the odd item sitting on the shelf. I'll kick off with 4 of mine Andy

Is it just my defective hearing or does anybody else hear an echo of a slowed down rhythm track of Eddie Parkers' . "I'm Gone" when listening to the Tiaras - "Love's made a connection" .... well in parts anyway if one is clutching at straws !!! Andy

are we able to listen to samples of the songs anywhere ??? Andy

Interesting to note my Frankford/Wayne acetate has the Showtime label details on Andy

So do we know who the second bidder was on the Bill Dennis ? Maybe I should offer him my copy Andy

Sad news indeed. His contribution to our lives was significant. I hooked up with Don in the 90's via Eddie Singleton, they had been good friends for many years, and Don & I spent many hours chatting on the phone about his life and times. He was a real character in every sense of the word I'll raise a glass to him tonight RIP Andy

This was photocopied from the original acetate 20 years ago. Sadly I only had access to a B&W copier. I believe this went from USA source to John Manship to Richard Searling Andy

French .... maybe ?? Andy
