Great Deep Compilations
The compilations that Jocko mentioned on Charly were a set of 5 albums , featuring issued and unissued sides from the Qunivy /South Camp labels .Fabulous stuff , with great sleeve notes and covers .Think a compilation was made of some of the tracks on CD . On Ace /Kent vinyl " Tears in my eyes " 045 , " Stand in for love " 056 , " Down to the last heartbreak " 084 , and " Pure Soul " 019 all contain some excellent slow /Deep tracks . If you're happy to seach and prehaps pay more than usual the " Bell Cellar full of Soul " comps [ 3 of them ] from the 60's are all brilliant . Hope this helps ,Best Wishes ,Eddie

Just bought an album that's full of this style of Soul " Songs of the big city " - Clyde McPhatter [Mercury ] , Three rooms with running water , Second window , second floor , The shelter of your arms , etc etc , superb album . Best ,Eddie- Album Price - 100% Pure Poison
Think this was correct Paul , as Levine discovered lead singer James Wells , who was later to record with him .Best ,Eddie- More Rare Historical Footage From Hitsville Usa
Great stuff Pete , thanks for putting this up ,Best ,Eddie- Am I Alone In Thinking The Jam Were Poor?
I remember seeing you DJ at the La beat route in Soho 1980 , Paul Weller was there , dancing to tracks , like " Ton of dynamite" etc - great night !! Best ,Eddie- The Ritz All Dayer
Hello Dave ,I played The Miracles " Overture "last night at our local Banbury do , sounded great again ..... Best ,Eddie- What's Your Favourite Album?
Hello Kev , Marvin Gaye " Whats going on" followed by his " Let's get it on " set .After that Sam Dees classic Atlantic album , and Luther " This close to you " .One recent purchase that I love , is Clyde McPhatter " Songs of the big city " - Mercury LP , early Soul but brilliant in my opinion .Best Wishes ,Eddie- Let's Cheer Things Up A Bit
I've always liked both sides of The Babies as well Pete .Still got mine from back in the day , could do with playing " out " maybe? Best ,Eddie- Bert Decoteaux
Also on Jean Wells " What have I got to lose " and Ace Spectrum " Don't send nobody else " .He seemed to do loads of work for Atlantic , though Sam Dees didn't sem very happy with his arrangements on " Fragile " In an interview with Voices from the shadows mag ,he said something like " I sent it away as a ballad - it came back as disco !! " At least we loved in in England I suppose .Best ,Eddie- Bert Decoteaux
Hello Paul , looking through my collection , have noticed Bert arranged Patti Austin's " Pain stain " , " Someones gonna cry " and " You better know " , Sam Dees " Fragile " and the beautiful Main Ingredient side " You've been my inspiration " .Got a nagging feeling he was on Madeline Wilson's " Dial L for lonely " [samar ] as well - will check when I find it !! Hope this helps ,Best ,Eddie- banbury soul club 2nd september 2006

Does anyone on Soul Source have Dave Evison's phone no. or an e-mail address for him ? Many thanks ,Eddie- Northern Soul Top 50 1977
Yeah Dave was a bit of a wag wasn't he ? Remember his story about the supposed vocal to Guys from Uncle " The Spy " that he made up ? Read a report years later from someone who claimed to have actually heard it !! .In recent years Joe Boy did have it made of course .All great fun eh ? Best Wishes ,Eddie- Northern Soul Top 50 1977
