Shinehead

Cannot give you a month of release but the album first got a mention in the issue 10 earlyish 1989 of V F T S albeit a very small one by Jan Barker , the next time it got a mention was in issue 12 of the same year again by Jan Barker , it was also listed as for sale by Record Corner in the same issue. Very surprisingly there was never a full review of the said LP in V F T S , looking at the promotion the Lp got those of us who bought a copy were the lucky ones.

Such sad news , Otis has brought me such joy with his music over the decades a truly one off and a great of our music. R.I.P Otis .

Thanks for that , could also be called a '' what's the point project '' also I suppose if there is no deceit involved for the buyer of the initial records.

Been reading this topic with interest , but could somebody tell me what is a '' vanity project '' as described in a few earlier posts ? is not a bootleg just that ?

'' Make a complete stand yeah not a half man''

Who are the idiots paying these prices for these records ?

Sounds like a dog bark to me , was Terrier Callier involved

Thanks for the heads up definitely worth a listen

I agree the backing spoilt some good records that Levine cut on Motorcity but that was also a fault with most new releases at that time, even Malaco and the like fell into the trap with a lot of their recordings and you felt that great songs, great singers shame about the drum machines and such. The amount of LPs I bought in the eighties and nineties and thought if only they had used real instruments .

The Willie Hutch version appears on the Expansion double vinyl Lp '' Try It You'll Like It '' released in 2003. It was also recorded by G.C. Cameron on his '' Love Songs And Other Tragedies '' album , which is available on vinyl.

Richard Temple .

It has cured my tinnitus, only problem is I've got the tune ringing in my ear instead of the ringing.

Take it your not a fan of this version Pete

Here in all its glory !

Otis Clay for me too. The guys material never seems to wane In quality , a true great and long may he reign.

A track by Bird - The Whole World Knows , uses the same backing track can't tell if that is just another sample of the same track or the original , not my kinda music . Its on youtube.

Lovely record the perfect crossover sound and worth all the plaudits that comes its way . Don't think that the reviewer was unkind just that acceptance has changed to this sort of record the last couple of decades.

So it wasn't, forgive my senior moment ?

Easy does it - Willie Hutch You're what's missing in my life - GC Cameron Where are we going - Marvin Gaye I can sho give you love Willie Hutch

Boring day in tomorrow waiting in for a bed to be delivered this will while away a couple of hours in a nostalgic and informative way. Thanks very much .

First egg of the season for the Nottingham peregrines .

Nesting season approaches for the Peregrines again at Nottingham Uni.

As long as these releases are legit which they are I cannot see a problem and more to the point they are doing soul music lovers a great service by releasing unissued material from a legendary label which I and many others want to hear.
