This is the best thread Ive ever seen on here. Superb.

Number 6.....holy moly!!

That is absolute class. What an unsung hero ( altho a God to us). Thanks Tim.

Scorching guitar solo .....great record.

I remember being at the front of the stage when Gene Chandler came on, in Duke of Earl costume...he noticed all the punters tape recorders running on the stage and he deftly switched them off with his feet😃

I seem to remember reading IOICBS was a pretty seller in the States when released...

Mid nineties at the Ritz in Manchester and Bretby dos...doubtless elsewhere as well....it got hammered though and as with so many records on the scene, familiarity breeds contempt ....overplayed but still a great record

Glenn Hunter did a great article on these guys some years ago in Soul Up North...Ill try and dig it out. ATB Jim.

Rest in Peace Dave. Jim.

That thread is wonderful.....A great end to a (really shitty week), lovely pic too eh? Thanks Tim.☆☆☆☆☆ Jim in Penkhull.

Fascinating read.

i cant stand to see you cry.

Great write up...bloody great record.

Fantastic track...even the cd goes for daft money these days.. Fingers crossed for a release of some sort!

Great read.

My deceiving heart...The Impressions.

Heartbreaking.

All a bit ironic really as the acetates and discoveries aired now are some of the best Ive heard in the 30plus years Ive been going. Always worth the walk past the Kings Hall and onto a train at Stoke station. If we dont use it we lose it.

Gutted. Had so many great times with Jim. We were only in fits of laughter at Cleethorpes the other week. He always made a point of asking after my boys too. It was a privilege to have known you. Rest in peace my friend. Jim.

Great great record. I know Bob Hinsley used to occasionally spin it but its still either forgotten or unknown to many. The rest of the cd is pretty good too ATB Jim.

If you dont ask...!? Anyone have a copy of 'Its so real' on Brown Dog? Regards Jim.

That looks like a helluva track listin' Sunshine too! On the birthday list.

Sorted now, thanks. Jim.

Hi all. Looking for a copy of 100 pounds of pain by Lenny Welch, pretty good nick if poss. TIA Jim.
