There is quite a few on Canadian labels.REO SPARTON, QUALITY.Some of the harder ones like Stienways on Sparton or Ben Aitken (satisfied) on Canadian Warner Bros as apposed to Loma (makes sense Loma were owned by WB )There is a lot of Detroit releases on Quality and if I remember correctly Reo housed a lot of Motown.

POODLES STEP BY STEP Goes a bit quite at the end but still ends "wollop

I think if you use Motown as an example just imagine what was taken into the Monday morning evaluation meeting,so many good products from each of the writers/producers and not all of them are gonna be voted as a potential hit,some have to fall by the wayside (remain in the can).I often think when I hear a previously unreleased song what the hell beat that on the day.I guess when it comes to the small companys money will be drained for them to take it a stage further.Great topic thou

Meant to put the R Sherry up last night you bang on with that TRICKY

Unless its been mentioned Perfections on Single B Please don't go other side of So lonely

Arthur Willis and the Soulful Dynamics The Hurting Is Over Mars-La Tours one of the best endings ever and what a record

So sad,just loved his productions and I remember Ady you telling me what a wonderful person he was

Taz and Toney just down the road from yourself my good friend

I used to play both of these tunes in the limited DJing that I did neither were seen as big or big money items that wasn't the point its what came out of the speakers that mattered,its a different story now of course

It will all come out in the wash,it always does

For me it wouldn't just be the loss of the records its so hard to think which one of my fantastic friends would do this to me and Lisa,this is our house, why ?

You may well be right Pete,used to know Alan quite well one time,he was a very nice guy.

Only decent thing that I remember was the Ambassadors, Too Much Of A Good Thing or can someone correct me on that.

Yes Flynny old boy I to love this drummer he can be herd on many Harthon tracks,have been trying to find out who it is for some time,ive asked Earl Young but he hasn't replied on that as yet.Glad you like it too,respect

Keb,having read your post Nicola and I are not that surprised,when this storm hit and the world found out about it I said two things about yourself if you were amongst this utter carnage you would if anyone come out of this ok under the circumstances,knowing you for a long time I knew that you would be helping others rather than yourself.Many years ago you gave me Buddy Smith that took some taking on board,it all seems small time in comparison to what you've been doing this last month or so.You are an inspiration to the human race Keb (wouldn't mind betting you will be the Mayor soon) your still welcome to have a bath round ours as always.We hope your post finds itself in a national news paper.You and your wife are top men(you know what I mean) Gilly and Nicola

That's a very good point Paul

Just a suggestion Rob,nothing more

OK I Will add my bit,found this track in 1992 on a master tape at an engineers house,he said it was a Golden World session and was Diana Ross on vocals,hard to believe you might say(was the snakepit busy that day so they went over to GW place ?)The first song S Lane put up is the version I used to play along with the instrumental the 2nd song put up I also have and its the song sang twice and mixed together to give a stronger vocal (something they used to do from time to time(not very good is it) Later on the song cropped up on CD from Tim Browns domain and the track in question was sung by Barbara Mercer,makes more sense I guess.Those are the facts as I know it.Is it D Ross or B Mercer surely not Sandy Wynns

Its a great record Edwin,they will catch-up one of the days.Dave Bentley plays it out,oh how are you

Yes a lot of venues 2/3 full of people on a nostalgic run,ironic when you think about it,they never went anywere 1st time round they just remember a few odd people doing the business.Right on soul brother and don't forget to keep the faith at all times,fcuk anyone seen my black fist you know the one that hangs round my friggin neck

and what I would like to know is where are these twins right now

What an interesting story

Ive listened to Beatles songs played by the Detroit top music men (R I P) and couldn't you tell

Rob,just to piss you off I owned two copies at one time and to realy niggle you I had a Ford Escort too

Another great talent gone to make music in the sky,thank-you Cody,God bless.Gilly and Nicola uk
