Well the two songs I have are on a tape and both have studio talking, Gino and John Shroeder sorry about the spelling

Ive had this song some 23 or more years, I also have his version of "Open the door to your heart, and that's good too

Yes, I like it its been worth the wait and thanks for putting it up. Next question have you anything else you want to share

OK mate I will look forward to it, if your anything like me when it comes to technology IT WILL remain unknown

It may remain unknown if we don't get to hear it,or have I missed something

For me I don't think it hurts to have them signed on the label, I had the J. Mae, Steve Mancha (Clyde Wilson) and I managed to get Edwin Starr to sign under his birth name, though he wasn't too happy about that.

That's a correct signature, get Brian Pinches to scan his Larry Wright Sweet sweet kisses for you, its my old copy that Popcorn sent me. I have a load of his signatures here on various things like xmas cards promo items, personal letters too

And what ones that Matt ?

Wouldn't mind being 2 records behind yourself. My old copy of the Ravins lives with an old mate who I may see this week, he was on about selling it a while ago, I will see what the latest is on his status

Thought you would have all of these Matt

Ive had two unreleased songs John did with G Washington (UK) for some 22 years or so you can hear Johns voice inbetween takes laughing away. How sad hes gone, thanks for your music

Velvet satins

What a great question Derek, never consider myself as a big time DJ but I did a bit so apart from the records I got free like Buddy Smith Larry Wright and so on I played things like Hello Stranger The Capitals, and The CODs Pretty Baby, songs that I think are equally as good if not so sort after 50 pence worth of soul

Sorry-bout-that Spud, I got the wrong Spud

Only 4 wish I still had mine

A man cant stand by and let a woman do what she want to You cant stay there and see the kids off to school You cant stand there and do all the womans work The next thing you know youll be putting on a skirt Little Gregory and the concepts love it

Lenny, Blueten is a close mate of mine

Are you back then Spud, see you the other week Coalville, take its you I know Spud 57 same age Gilly Burton/Derby

Sad news that Ady, Harry was well known and well respected within the music business and was a very busy fellow, a lot documented and I think an awful lot of his day to day involvement has never been written down.

Really feel for you two Dave and Val, your right its all about baggy trousers with buttons oldies and revivals. The guys that run them are raking it in, fed by a load of clowns attending them, playing the same 6 records they know and want to know, they will disappear as quick as they have landed. Hope the true music fans don't loose faith especially you two. Remember this, when one of those clowns says to you "Keep the Faith" tell him to fcuk off explaining that you and a small crowd of real soul fans have been keeping the faith for donkeys years Gilly

It did have a small tare on the label but not exactly over the label name which was Lupin sorry I mean Lupine

Funny thing a couple of years ago when I moved down here I had a letter asking me to visit the local opticians so off I went, now they keep the door locked and you have to knock to gain entry (bit like Detroit) you know the crack Tim you've been more often than me, anyway I knock and this lady opens the door ( iam thinking I will see what reaction I get to this ) on walking in iam stumbling about and feeling my way through the door frame. Well this girl is looking at me gone-out, she said " blimey is it as bad as that," "afraid so" I replied, "and god knows where ive parked the car" Well you should of seen the look on her face. Catch up with you one of the days Tim ATB Gilly

Thought about putting that R

Gilly (with red face) says sorry to Soulgirl85 firstly and to Butch and Tim I got it wrong, found mine in a Detroit garage in 87 at first I thought it was Lupine and then I read it as Lupin. I bow with shame and cap in hand and a visit to the local opticians first thing Monday morning

Well that's a new one on me, tell me if its to hand what colour is the label and the record # mate, mine was blue abd seem to remember it was 001 Tim has one still yeh
