All 3 grapevine LPs to shift: SOLD THANKS Cheers, Mark

George, well presented. A lot of lesser known South east beach / soul influenced garage sounds were done this way. Arthur Smith Studios and others did loads of 'custom' one offs for these artists, which explains fairly obscure 'releases' often in 500 lots max, given to the band to do with what they will, sometimes some to the band to give away - and occasionally a few to the local radio station. The Chashers "Without my girl" on Uncle was very likely one of these, recorded at Mark V studios. The cane on the label logo was apparently the lead singers stage cane (a la JB). No other 'releases' on the label. Another example is Novas Nine "Pain / Why listen" on Heritage, pre-ABC, this was an Arthur Smith custom job. See very few of these around.

Cheers Chalky, superquick as always and helps put him in context with an NC band he played with briefly a year later which I'm currently onto.

Scotty Todd - Cry with me baby / aint no big thing - Phillips Anybody got an exact release date on this, ideally to the month? Cheers Mark.

Almost a plug then thought better of myself Dave! Hence the self edit of my post! Truth is, it's a complex / vague story for each of their four recordings, indeed anything about the Appreciations, and I don't have the full story myself, but a fair bit more than was known previously (took best part of a year to get hold of one of the band members). Suffice to say their story involves NC, SC, Detroit, Nashville and the sax player? And may well not have been Mike Terry contrary to popular belief, including mine, but somebody else who will be surprise to some.......

This is a Detroit recording on a Charlotte NC label.

Dont know this bit Chalky. But didn't Pic and Bill record Gonna give it to you at Mark V studio in Greenville SC? Can't remember where I heard this rumour, was definately a 'Mark V production' but may have meant just the musicians rather than the studio (recorded in Texas?) etc. What year was this recorded?

... or a fag (and I don't smoke) (more Cockney Steve)

They were definately session musicians in 1967 on at least one track for a well known vocal group at least to soulies in Charlotte NC. But that's as much as I'm telling you! Lol

Mark V Studio was in Greenville SC. As were MD and the TexTown band. Thanks for info guys on the Dillard story but still curious re the TexTown Band from the late sixties - I know from a very reliable source that they recorded in 1967 as studio musicians, anybody know their line up at the time?

He was on the hit list for my book, shame he passed away before I got to them. RIP Mr Scott.

Any Dillard fans know anything about these guys from SC? I need to know who the individual band members were, which will help dispel a widely and long held belief about a particular well known Carolina track. Cheers Mark
