Eddie Hubbard

When I was at Wigan oldies one night ,someone brought a copy of Eddie Parker "I'm gone " for Richard to play ,and I distinctly remember him saying " I remember this from the Torch " .I was told I was wrong later , glad to see it was actually played at Hose Street .

I don't know Tony ? If so I didn't realise ...

Alternate version of James Lately - Love ,Friends and Money on one of the Dave Hamilton CD's

Soul Bowl catalogue from the 90's ...

part 3 of the interview in Big Daddy magazine ....a great read

Think some of the alternate mixes were on the " Just Keep On Dancing " CD .I remember Terry Callier "Look at me now " was way different

Yes I was listening to that show regularly on a Saturday , I was about 14/15 at the time.Neither side gained a UK release at the time either .

Very sad news , easily one of my favourite Artists / Writers of all time .First remember hearing him via " The school of life " ,which was about no 2 in the USA Soul charts when Luther Ingram's " If loving you was wrong " was No 1 ,both on KOKO records of course .Thank you Tommy for some beautiful Soul music ....

Black Music Advert July 1974 ....

In terms of getting a record after searching a long time ,then Johnny McCall - I need you ( Alteen ) was probably the best .Most unexpected find was Dean Parrish - Determination ( Stateside demo ) plus his other two on Stateside demos the same day .....

The David Ruffin version of " No Matter Where " is superb too ...

The flip side " today all day " is in demand and hard to find as a stock copy .most copies found are demos with " Get into your life " on both sides .

I saw them on the Jazzman stall at the recent Independant Record Labels show ,they do look good ...

Great tribute Andy , a good read about Linda's life and career ,despite the sad circumstances .

I would like : Brenda Holloway - After all you've done ,Tommy Good - I gotta get away , Lewis Sisters - Breakaway ,The Velvelettes - The night that love died , Chris Clark - Sweet loving , Marvelettes - Because I love him .would love a 70's crossover set too Odyssey - Battened Ships , Thelma Houston - Nothing left to give ,Bottom and Co - Gotta find a true love , etc etc .....

Reading this excellent in depth article proves beyond doubt that the Carol Kaye claims are ridiculous and should be dismissed as the work of a fantasist .You can't argue with session logs ,and the fact that the Funk Brothers individual contributions are so individual on tracks , and very difficult to copy by other musicians .

Could be the French one ? Came out over there ....

Get well soon Ted ,all the best ,Eddie

Here is the current eBay copy ,kinda proving that the red ones are boots for sure ,and someone has a very vivid imagination ...

My copy arrived today , it looks an awesome piece of work , mind blowing information ,label scans and so much more .I think I need to take early retirement to work my way through it !! Well done Dave ,Jason and all involved .

The red one is really rare I think .I have the multi coloured copy ,both really nice items .

Many thanks Peter , I hadn't a clue on some of those lyrics !!

Great ,informative article and stunning photos Chalky .Well done ....

I can't make out half the lyrics to Mel Britt , the strings ( brilliant as they are ) mask the words ..Can anyone help ?
