Eddie Hubbard

Hello Paul ,I've got one of the " Rare deep dynamite " , with Sam Dees , Little Johnny Truit etc on , think they are Jap ? Got mine from Rod at Voices years ago .That Dutch one sounds interesting as well .Best ,Eddie

Brilliant sets Jocko , took me years to find Vol. 1 , and not in the greatest of shape either !! Best ,Eddie

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

"Johnnies Hill " by Freddie Scott on Elephant V / UK Roulette , great mournful Deep Soul .Best ,Eddie

That's great , many thanks Dave .Best ,Eddie

Does anyone have a label listing for Giant records [ the Detroit label not the Chicago one ] I'm writing the Pied Piper story and need some info .Many thanks ,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

Think this was correct Paul , as Levine discovered lead singer James Wells , who was later to record with him .Best ,Eddie

Great stuff Pete , thanks for putting this up ,Best ,Eddie

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

Hello Dave ,I played The Miracles " Overture "last night at our local Banbury do , sounded great again ..... Best ,Eddie

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

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

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

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

Really looking forward to this show Mark , you've had some great guests on recently .Best Wishes ,Eddie

Was told this is actually Van McCoy on vocals , anyone confirm ? Best ,Eddie

Great set of records , really Soulful , one of Wigan's best periods for me .Best ,Eddie

Thanks Tony !! Best ,Eddie

Anyone know what Richard's old Casino c/u Emanual Lasky " I know what I like " turned out to be ? Cheers ,Eddie

Does anyone on Soul Source have Dave Evison's phone no. or an e-mail address for him ? Many thanks ,Eddie

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

I remember it being hard to find for a short while before Polydor repressed some copies , I remeber that story in B & S as well . Best Wishes ,Eddie
