Thanks Ian, I agree personally that re- edits tend to be a little more respectful. I general a re- edit to me cant be about returning to the masters as the original re- editors only had reels of the final recording to work with.

Just been reading a piece about Solomon Burke's infamous popcorn consession at the Apollo, and was interested to hear that it was common practice for soul artists to sell there own merchandise at gigs; hats, posters, photos and the like. He also had preprinted popcorn boxes with his name on them! does anyone own or have they ever seen such items of interesting memorbila.

Ian what actually constitutes a re - edit here, did they have access to the masters, or are these just done from recordings of the finished product?

there's some right misogonistic crap on here, can I first apologise for some of the attitudes expessed, allbeit in a lighthearted manner. IMHO, the scene can only bennifit from a inreased inclusion of more females in active roles on the scene, personally some of the best dj's Ive heard in recent times have been female. Diva Di, Sandi Harpin and of course Joan have all impressed in a major way and something all the these have in common is a lack of ego , sensitivity for the dancefloor and an understanding that rarity have nothing to do with filling the floor, something many male DJ's would do well to heed.

Great thread idea, can always remember Bunny Shivel being revealed and quite few peeps being disgruntled by it being on a major label. I could never understand why myself, your paying over the odds for someone's superior knowledge, and you obviously have a choice when handing over the cash. No ones forced into buying a cover up. From a moral stand piont covering something can be veiwed as dubious, Godin despised the practiced, but I think missed the piont myself, the tune has to have failed in the first place to end up being a CU and when it is eventually revealed the CU is probably going to bennifit from the practice in terms of cred for the artist anyway.

The epitome of crossover for me that track.

hi Conrad, cant open the links at work but does this need to be in wants?

Slots obviously didnt go as planned due to, ahem, technical problems!! But there was an awesome array of underplayed and exclusives throughout the night, due mainly to our epic guests Mace and Beggsy. My early bit included the below. Geese. 8.00- 8.45 Fabulous Apollos- some good in everything bad Kris Peterson- Just as much Terri Bryant- Genie Detriot soul- All of my life Chuck Bernard- Send for me VIP's Right down from the bottom Mark iv unlimited- gone James Walker and the soul marchers- Walk on CU Alfredito- You tell me that you love me Joey Pastrana- My Vitriola Eddie Palieri +Cal T jader- Come and get it baby Chalie Palieri and Orch- Uptite Danny White- Natural soul brother Billy Wade and third degree- Tear it up part 1 Troggs- she's TNT CU

its not any of the things he did with MAW was it, 'you can do it baby' perhaps? Yeah i know its 9ts, but live sounding production. and I know it obvious but 'on broadway' or 'supership'?

couldnt think of a better time, in the last 30 years, to be buying cheapies than now, as chalky said acres of great Detriot but loads of great tenner and unders on chicago lables like one- der - ful, Mar v lus, okeh ect.

I disagree Nancy but think it would be a little off topic to get into theology here . ATB, geese.

a sad loss, he'll be missed.

glad to hear you got them back, certain vinyl, like freinds are ireplaceable, the second cautionary tale I've heard on here, I will never let them out of my sight if I ever travel with my tunes!!!!!!!!!!

worked it out now, no further advice needed.

please tell me how to distinguise an orig from the reissue, cant find any info on this one, many thanks in advance. Please excuse my ignorance, I'm always ready to learn. atb, geese.

double oops double oops then, sposse it came out u.s. as well, I've got a few 7ts motown's but I've honstly never seen this or the eddie kendricks in my life, cant be rare I sposse but not that common either, I just assumed they were LP only tracks. Did either of them get 12 inch release I wonder?

great clips cheers guys

thats loads better matey

can I make a constructive crit mate, this is really hard to read, imho, use some spaces or highlights please.

as much as I'd like then there are quite a few tunes I conceed I'll never fork out for cause of how cheap and apparantly common they were in the 8ts, things like; both constellations, Gill Blanding, eugene Jefferson, spidels dream girl, the list goes on.

With how hard pushed most venues are to make a profit you'd think they'd be only too glad of the trade, its one of those commity things isnt it, we got banned from our church hall cause we planned to have halloween cakes at my sons 5th bday!

has anyone mentioned contours- baby hit and run and isleys- tell m its just..... obvious but both initially played off LP, I've been told.

oops sorry, never seen either of them, anyone got sapres? thanks Yank.

think it was in a grand slam interview that John anderson talks about havinh 50 copies of Al williams and Joe mathews + other mega rarities @ the start of the 8ts and not being able to get rid for more than 20 quid a copy

couple thyat occured when flicking last night Eddie Kendricks- girl you need a change of mind (oft quoted as the first disco track, certainly well ahead of its time) Thelma Houston- I'm here again again massive influencial disco cut but while were at it anybody had Thelma's verion of- I aint going nowhere? UK LP only apparantly
