Eddie Hubbard

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 " ....

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 ....
