How about real copies of Robby Lawson ?

If thats the case Chris , was it played anywhere before Wigan ?

I had a Ty Karim off you at Stafford for £5 , resold it though for same price after realising it wasn't the faster version .How the hell could I have done that ,I must be mad...

Sounds good , visited Brill Building when in New York , very impressing building inside .Only Paul Simon has an office there now from the music industry apparently .

I've got The Precisions " Instant Heartbreak " on Stone , if any help .....

Great stuff Pete ,Al Kent and Eloise Laws were played at 100 club on Saturday and sounded as good as ever ...

Had a black Demures issue , rare?

Very sad news , didn't know Joe personally , only on Soul Source , my thoughts are with his family and many friends .Remember the good times everyone .Best ,Eddie

I think they are both really good ....

So is it Shirley Johnson " Too big to cry " then ?

I realise that , was just saying ....

Think Pete is spot on for the period in question , think Andre Brausseur was a Mr M's oldie , may have been played in main hall by Dave Evison though .Think Lynn Randell was big at VA VA's too ...

I went to the Cheltenham gig , Doris Troy was the replacement .I saw him eventually at Hinckley in the '80's .Was told he was let out of the slammer to do this tour , then had to be back to prison afterwards .cheers Eddie

Brilliant article with mouthwatering information.I knew it would be great ,before I read it ...well done Rob

The inst . to " Like a rolling stone " is on the flip side of " The Gallop " ...

I saw the Motown one ,on Broadway this time last year , it was actually very good ....and fun

Bootleg , but pretty cool....

Think it's Soul Brother Records that are releasing that one ....

About 10 - 15 years ago went to a school car boot and noticed a 7 inch brown bag on the floor under a stall .Picked it up and on opening , 2 records in there : Liberty Belles " Shing a ling time " on Shout ,and The Earls " It's been a long time coming " on ABC .Not the rarest records ever , but a nice find all the same, about 10p each .Also , in the late 80's ,went to an antique shop looking for a Victorian fire place .In the corner were some records ,including Barbara Lewis - Don't forget about me UK Atlantic yellow demo ,Four Tops - Don't bring back memories ,and a King Floyd test pressing album .

Look forward to listening Pete...

Got a tape of the show you did with David Meikle , of Soulful Detroit website .Still sounds great Frank ...

It did get released twice though didn't it ? One Atlantic distributed ,one not ....
