GOT-CHA' MAKIN' LOVE TO YA' Pts 1 & 2 - Info Please
Two different mixes, vinyl copy infinitely superior in my opinion, and first issue I think. First saw it in Kev Roberts sales box at the same time as Mistura "Life is a song". Later issue, weaker mix, in stryrene, surfaced quite a bit later via Soul Bowl I think.

Ibiza bound
Sounds very disappointing - and expensive! What hotel are you staying at?

Lillie Bryant Meet Me Half Way (Monarch Test Press)
Jimmy Wensiora gave me his copy when he sold up (late 80's?), and to the best of my recollection it didn't have any writing on - it looks like various owners of these copies have written on them themselves. I always assumed it was a test for one of those 70's Monarch boots that ended up being shelved.

John Poole RIP
That is incredibly sad news, for many years John and I were contempories and competitors, but once we had got past the teenage angst I'd like to think we were friends, he will be missed. My condolences to Ange and his family.

Nabay - Impact WD
Rob most definitely has one, and used to play it in his warm up spots (before he got to the good stuff as he put it) around early '76. Like many great tracks, they only become in demand when a big name dj plays them. He was playing "Call me" Eddie Bishop around the same time - though we did try to stop him... Nabay came from the Selectadisc warehouse, along with many other Detroit titles, most were the more common Ric Tic/Golden World kind of titles but some real surprises came out of there.

Soul In Havana
Was over there in January, it was pretty quiet. We were in Varadero much of the time, but when we were in Havana I didn't see or hear any reference to soul.

LJ REYNOLDS- Penguin Breakdown on LAW-TON
There is also a video on you tube of a track by Phil Lowman called "Look at me" on Emage that also uses the "Penguin breakdown" backing track. Sadly unable to work out how to upload link - sorry about that.

adorables
I seem to recall it being a John Vincent tip (in Frank Elsons column) when he dj'd at Wigan - but I can't say as I ever actually heard it played. Think he mentioned the Charmaines "Keep on searching" in the same list.

Need help on another unknown acetate
I always try to work on the "if you can't say anything nice" principle. But in all fairness that tune has nothing to do with what I understand to be soul music, so I can understand why people were critical. No need to get too excited though eh?

Kim Toliver - I Caught You
Andy Lee gave it go back in the 70's following the success of "I don't know what foot to dance on" - no one seemed particularly interested at the time. Great tune though.

Kill The Irishman Opening - Kool Blues

Taylor made battle, allergies vs wigans chosen few
Can't remember the Chosen Few ever being played. It was usually Simons "Sounds of Soul" emi disc as I recall. A totally different kettle of fish to the the WCF issue. Amazingly, it isn't on youtube, any got a copy to post and remind us?

Sherry (Scherrie) Payne ???
Definitely not a Solid Hitbound prod (or for that matter solo) but I have this duet with Neil Pointer from about 1980 in a box somewhere; Thought it might interest someone.
