I always presumed that at the quality control meeting they would play acetates. If this is true how come the f/w demos got pressed. What was the common practice? Heard that Berry Gordy asked Frank Wilson if he wanted to persue a career with Motown as a writer rather than an artist but was that after DILYIID had passed some sort of quality control? Were there other Tamla/Motown/Soul/Gordy etc songs that got pressed then never gained a release and were trashed? Just curious Kev

May be a later issue I have one and am sure it's red with black writing and small 45 as in the later reissues. Hope that helps Kev

I don't think I've ever had a mint record....and I've got lots of them. These days if I get a vg++ I'm happy Does this term come from banking and refer to having a licence to print money?

Could someone help. I heard the story of a warehouse fire in California burning down or something a batch of records or masters went with it. I heard that amongst them were some early 70's Metros tunes. One was 'What's wrong with your love' which I managed to obtain on Soul King records. Is this a legal release or a boot?. Also I think there was another song from the same session that has a similar backing to Cynthiia & Imaginary Three 'What am I(Without you)' The Metros track is called 'We still have time'. I have the Bianco cd but was wondering if this track was ever released? If so what label? I'd love to track one down. Thanks Kev

Shit beer. and soul artists dying.

Cheers Steve I'll keep an eye out. Got to Dash! Kev

So Sorry I was under the illusion that you were Mr Paul Temple from York. I illusion a lot-must be age creeping in. Kev

Maybe they're off an assembly line.

Remember you getting one off me down the 100club Paul. Swop for D Banks Stateside demo, At the Discoteche UK and £30 to pay my gas bill. Happy days gone by. Kev

I think it's probably common knowledge Dave, but when Pete Lawson and I interviewed Rosetta Hightower from The Orlons (in a backstreet pub in Tooting) she was avident that Cameo and Parkway were funded by gangsterish illicit money. Kev

ps Tony at Boogaloo? i agree.. the man has the odd good record

Pardon!

I like my music loud. Happened to me years ago. Perfectly good well attended soul club I promoted, all of a sudden the council made us fit a monitor. That was the reason I stopped it. After spending the previous 15 years dancing next to every speaker I could find things didn't quite sound the same. Kev

Also Warren, a bit off topic, but it would be great to have Tony do a guest spot at Boogaloo. If he's up for it that is. Top man and great collector of soul. Kev

Why not ask Tony Smith Warren? He's always championed this one and usually knows the history of the records he collects, even to the minute detail of what the studio cat had for lunch on the day the tracks were recorded. Kev
