Is John St John and Chapter 5, one and the same artist? Ed

Most probably an included past family surname. Perhaps his Mother's maiden surname, rather than something wrong with him. Could also mean a defector..... Unusual all the same. A very successful career Lenis has had. Ed

Interesting....JM is an expert after all. Discogs also has stated no real demos on LG, just SPQR. Here is a bit more info on Lenis..

Knowledge is power.......or at least an advantage from getting stung! I'm sure we've all made an error at some point. That's why this site is so good for collectors who get advice before a large purchase! Ed

That looks like the original rare issue. Thanks for posting. Ed

I thought the demo copies were fakes on LE GRAND? Stock copy has a gap after LE and before GRAND. Ed

Lenis Guess has an aol email account. If you contact him, he will communicate with you! Never seen a LE GRAND original copy in the flesh, but would love to own one! Ed

According to discogs, original is stamped, reissue is scratched. Ed

White demo or green stock copy? Ed

On LE GRAND or the less rare SPQR? Ed

OVO? Probably up to the mid 70s, that was pretty much your only option:) Then came boots, reissues, emidiscs, etc. What about the policy at Soul in the Sun? Cd or MP3 only........ There its more about knowledge than possession... makes you think, for sure! Just saying.. Ed

Who mentioned Chris Clark? Connie's operatic background shines through brilliantly. Ed

About 1978, I bought this 'blind' along with Mel Torme 'Coming Home' from Reg Williams/Malc Burton at a Wath all dayer for 50 p each. Happy days indeed but never heard this great tune played out. A true hard soul record! Ed

If anything, it showed the definition of (Northern) Soul, is as unpredictable as ever... Ed

Toto Africa, Chicago If you leave me now? ..................I also think the thread has lost its way, and agree its run its course. One man's soul etc Ed

One of my faves, and a dream to dance to, but very rarely played out. Infectious. Ed

Love this group and had plenty of gritty hits. This is one of the lesser known ones. Ed

Oh.....................best seek clarification Perhaps a stax artist on a different label? Ed

Number 1 track on your list........... Ed

Is that the same artist at Gail Wynters? Winters? And / Or Gail Wynters? All a bit confusing.com Gail Wynters Real Name: Nancy Gail Shivel Aliases: Bunny Shivel, Gail Kelly Variations: Viewing All | Gail Wynters Gail Winter

Wanted to show the artist..............Sounds black to me...............then its a 'OMG' moment...Did not know that:) Ed

The boy bands! Ed

Ah Ha...........the girls!! Ed

This track ticks all the boxes.. Ed

A remarkable career, and a legacy to match. RIP Dennis. If we had a Hall of Fame...he would be in it! Ed
