News: Helen Pereira - Queen Of The Go-Go
What beautiful words Pep,iam so lucky to of met and indeed be a friend,kinda feel a bit guilty that i didnt DJ for you despite countless requests from yourself and Helen but still remained friends and the respect that i have for you two will always remain in tact.I think back to the earlier 70ts and as people will say you never forget Helen after that first meet and i wont.So sad,be strong Pep she will be remembered and loved by so so many soul fans through out the country Gilly (x Burton on trent) x

Record Digging In Chicago
Spent a day in Chicago and lucky to be with Barbara Acklin and her manageress Janett McDowel,Janette took me over to south-side but never found anything,one shop owner was quite rude i dont know why maybe it was a racist thing or maybe he was having a bad day.I have to say i liked Chicago as a city more going for it than Detroit

O.c. Tolbert - You Got Me Turned Around
Yes myself and Andy Tats found this on a master tape at Dave Hamiltons RIP and i with Dave mixed up a raw (very raw) version so i could play it on return to the UK i used to think it was quite good up until a full and proper mix came out on ACE/KENT D Hamilton cds it sounds so good unlike my mix.Alot of people have made nice comments about what i used to play maybe its the shear rawness of the thing i dont know..Kitch can you dig it out i need to borrow it for Deans radio show shortly thanks

Magnetics - Lady In Green
Here we go again,this is how i understand it,when i went to Duke Browners house on Broadway,Detroit he told me that it was the Volumes in between contracts that recorded Lady in Green Now the lead vocal on that tune was Gerald Mathis same guy as Same Old Feeling(compare the voices for yourselves)Gerald comfirmed this when i spoke with him many years ago.Before this recording 65 a single on Allright came out The Train the main man in this line-up was Tony Johnson (of Tony and Tyrone)Please Operator Atlantic and he comfirmed that as he was a friend of myself and Andy Taylors.The other groups of the same name were as already stated.Chicago and PhillyOh by the way that early Detroit group recorded but without release for Motown,they later changed the group name to i think The Downbeats .....help me out here you Motown men
