I've got a Lou Ragland issue ,they actually look the same as the demo , but without the demo information .Shame there isn't a blue one ....Cheers ,Eddie

Another brilliant article Rob ..well done .Eddie H.

I think you could be correct Ed , sounds quite a modern sound for the time also ....Many thanks ,Eddie

The Phantom Janitor was actually the cleaner at Stax records , apparently he used to burst into the studio with his hoover etc and ruin recording sessions !! I remember reading about him in a B &S article , years ago .Prehaps thats where Richard got this imaginative title from ? Cheers ,Eddie

Thanks Des , thats a 26 year mystery cleared up .....lol....Also got Revlons by Susan King on Midtown .Cheers ,Eddie

I must admit I always enjoyed the intrigue of cover ups , here's a couple from the Stafford era that I stll can't identify , : " You got me locked up " - Aaron Varnell , and " Your love has got me " - Al Williams and The Masqueraders .....anyone help ? Thanks ,Eddie

Two fabulous sides on the Sam Dees , topside is a fantastic mid to uptempo dancer with brilliant vocals and lyrics , " Tampa " is an incredible Deep Soul burner ..........

Have PM'd you Dave ....

Great posting ....

It was the most exciting place in the world for me up until it closed in 1981 to be honest Pete .I never thought of it as a dump either [ apart from the toilets of course ] .A big part of the weekend was the travelling of course, the train journey , meeting like minded people on the way etc , and I feel the same about the 100 Club .We could probably be there in an hour or so , but stop for a meal on the way , a drink in the Blue posts , and the breakfast in McDonalds afterwards chatting to new and old friends .All part of a memorable weekend Soulin ' stretched out as long as possible .....I'd really miss it if it ended .The toilets and dancefloor need attention of course , but the sense of history in the old venue seems to seep out of the walls , and I always feel a sense of occasion when I visit the 100 Club , it's almost like a musical museum .Best ,Eddie

I went with my 19 year old son [ who isn't into Soul ] loves Dubstep etc ...he thought it was great .I thought it was quite good really , bit of a cheesy script ...but quite funny in parts , and the soundtrack was pretty ok too .I'd only just returned from 100 Club , but on hearing " Exus Trek " it made me want to go to another nighter straight away .......Ok it wasn't a world beater , but a good way to spend a sunday evening .Cheers ,Eddie

You can get it on the vinyl edition of Soul Togetherness from a couple of years back , otherwise it's CD only I think .....cheers ,Eddie

Brilliant listening Pete , Bill Brandon / Lorraine Johnson still sounding so Soulful , ditto Anderson Brothers , though you may not agree ......Thanks for that mate ..Eddie

I saw Colin DJ at The Casino around the time World Column and Lou Edwards were popular , I think he replaced Richard who was on holiday at the time .I know Ian Fishwick DJ'd at the early nighters at the Casino , which could have caused some confusion over whether Levine played there .Cheers ,Eddie
