Eddie Hubbard

How about The Trips - There's that mountain / Love can't be modernised on Soultown ? The copy I have even has the same pressing plant stamp as John and The Weirdest on Tie .Would this have been a legal re press via Bobby Sanders ? There is so much info on the label ,unlike most bootlegs of the time . I read somewhere that copies of The Sweets with the instrumental flip turned up in the UK in the same box as the copies with " Something about my baby " on .Think it was a Blue Max's shop that was mentioned .

From Blues and Soul April 1991 .....

I thought he was very good on the ballads ,I was stood at the front of stage .He did have to read the lyrics to his Northern biggies which makes for a more stilted performance IMO .Still great to see him live though .

A friend of mine had 800 copies of Robert Thomas ,and 200 before that ,so plenty of originals out there .

Really sad news , I hadn't known Mick as long as many on here ,though I'd known his name via Soul Source .My heart goes out to his wife Ali, and his many friends on here .A lovely fella , always a pleasure to be in his company , we will all miss him so much .

Looks like Richards writing ..

Possibly Kirsty , but this Blackpool Mecca list is from much earlier .

" Give me lots of lovin " would be Willie Kendrick ,as Freddie Butler wasn't discovered until much later .

Was released on Trip as The Still Life and 6 Pak as well as Melvin Carter at least ...

A good read ,enjoyed it ...

Superb choices by all concerned , bet it was a wonderful evening of the real deal stuff ...

Prove Yourself A Lady - James Bounty .If it was the producers job to capture the listeners attention ,then this hits the spot 100 per cent ....

I've got 2 CDs with these tracks on ,let me know if you need a copy Chris .

One of my daughter with Betty at the Manchester gig ...

Yes ,great photos Chalky ,why do some clubs make life so difficult ?

Many thanks Richard

Couple more photos ,wait till you hear this youngster sing ......

100 Club last night....

Masqueraders " Nothing " cover up Paul ...

Great article Chalky ,I guess they never got round to recording a flip side for the first take on Breakthrough.

The second track is Gerry and Paul - The Catwalk - Fatback

I remember a guy telling me that he went to Soul Bowl ,and John had more Eddie Parker's than Billy Sha Rae ,so ended up buying Billy's version .....I guess John at Soul Bowl would be the man to ask ,perhaps it was in general ,a one box find ? You don't hear of many copies being found out in the wild .Though Jack Ashford himself has provided a small amount .

Thanks Mark , he had some nice records in his box ,I still wonder what happened to him and the record ...

I asked Jack Ashford on FB recently how many "I'm Gone " we're pressed , he replied " I have no idea " ....
