    Doesn't matter hat anyone else tells me, I HATE country music ... makes me grate my teeth & stick my fingers in my ears, it's that BAD.

    Here's a soul song that the country folk picked up on ... soul version; great ...  ....   .... country ... YUKKK ... 

     

     

    Truly woeful fodder. Doomed the moment the songwriters believed that " brambling " could seriously be introduced into a lyric :lol: Artists and musicians not at fault as they no doubt went along with it for the money. 

    Lee Fields & The Expressions faithful take on JJ Cale's Magnolia is how it should be done. Band/Producer even had the imagination to add pedal steel guitar, not used on the original, an instrument normally reserved for country music.

    Terribly sad news. Ben was such a genuine, warm and friendly person who always spent time to say hello and have a chat when you met him out and about. He was one of the first friends Denise and I made when we started going to soul do's in London and we'll both miss him badly. 

    Our condolences to his family, Carmel and to you Sean as he was your best mate.

    RIP Ben

    Mike & Denise

    Haven't posted anything in ages mainly because I haven't bought anything recently. However, I came across this 45 in a secondhand record shop in a small Norfolk market town recently along with about 30 other 45's ( mainly non soul ). I paid £16.00 for the batch of singles which proves that there are still some bargains to be had!. The batch also included an early calypso/ska 45 on Island ( Kentrick Patrick ) which I sold to a dealer at a record fair in Norwich and Jobell Orch on a Pye demo which I've got for sale on Ebay. 

    Great sounding tune apparently written by the main man himself and a true double sider as the flip is Time. Bit torn as to whether to Keep or sell!

    Bought a demo in Ex condition from a respected seller on here 12 months ago for £200.00. It hadn't sold for a number of days so seller accepted a near offer. Think it was originally advertised for £225.00. Always regarded it as a £200.00 record in that condition having kept on eye on prices of various sales over the past few years. Is a great record but you would have thought its price has peaked.

    From a previous thread on here (which I can't find), I understood that the Hour Glass is the original local release. However, the Spectrum release comes with the bonus of his version of Crying Clown on the flip.

    Can hear it here:-

    https://themusic.com.au/music/streams/2016/02/24/premiere-kylie-auldist-family-tree/

    Kylie Auldist is one of Australia’s prime funk and soul musicians. Her new single Family Tree ties in strongly with her roots, both those musical and hereditary, and lucky for you, we're premiering the track exclusively today on theMusic.com.au. 

    Auldist with her soulful and velvety tone in the song discusses her family tree and how she values the love of her family. Kylie reflects, "Family is there first and last, they are inspirational, and this song is for them". Family Tree is also the title of her electro-soul album due for release on 26 February.

    She'll launch the single as part of Brunswick Music Festival at Howler in Melbourne on Saturday, 19 March with support acts The Meltdown and a '70s soul and disco set from DJ Miss Goldie.

    This is a "put up" session for a TV piece on Motown..

    By this period, the artists did not record alongside the musicians in the studio.......their vocals were added many weeks/months later. They very rarely met the musicians in the studio. I once talked to vibes/percussion man Jack Brokenshaw who told me he played on all Diana Ross stuff from about 1967...and he'd never met her (that's what he said...might be an exaggeration)

    This song was written and produced by Ivy Hunter who appears at 1:50

    At 1:20, the "session" is held up by Brian Holland...who was not involved in the record at all......it's meant to show "Motown recording  in action" but it's a con.

    Look closely at the Temptations laughing at the staged managed effort ( LtR...Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin)

    Bongo player is Bobbie Hall...not a member of the Funks but probably played on sessions around Hitsville.

    musicians (L to R)   Robert White, Joe Messina, Eddie Willis, Earl Van dyke)...james jamerson at rear

     

    Agree. No-one wearing headphones - just wouldn't happen when "tracking" 

    https://forgottenhits60s.blogspot.co.uk/2013_10_20_archive.html

    ( Russ Terrana ) At this particular point in time (the fall of 1966), Motown's infamous "Studio A" on West Grand Boulevard had recently installed a new, custom-built recording machine which was capable of recording eight individual tracks, instead of the usual four that machines at other studio's, including those at Golden World, were limited to. On the eight-track Hitsville machine, the basic rhythm tracks for a record were recorded on the first four tracks (with the drums recorded on one track, the bass on the second track, guitars on the third and keyboards on the fourth). Vocals and other additional sweetening instruments were then recorded on to the remaining four tracks, usually at separate recording sessions a short time later.

    By contrast, the first 8 Track machines were not operational in commercial studios in London until the end of 1967.

    Bobby Harden “Pure and simple love”

    Jesse Robinson & The Williams Brothers “Chasin the wind”

    Reuben James Richards “Who’s fooling who”

    CC “Where do we go” (stick with the album mix, the remix takes all the soul away)

    Yolanda Rabun “Believe in love”

    Jo Jo Murray “Baby that hurt”

    Johnny Rawls “Reckless heart” (New Southern soul dancer with strings, fabulous)

    James Bell “Amazing love”

    I like the Jeb Loy Nichols tune. Saw him play live at an album launch upstairs at Ronnie Scott's about 4 years ago. He was excellent but "My Mistake" is a bit of a departure from what he was playing then. Rob Ryan, Polyvelts on here, played some tunes before he came on so I guess that Jeb likes a bit of obscure soul music too.

    Crossover in the music biz is defined as:-

    musical works or performers who appeal to different types of audience.

    Coined in the late 50's when the likes of Pat Boone were re recording toned down versions of R&B tunes?

    Seems to have a different meaning on the soul scene. Eg this definition from Dave Rimmer in Soulful Kinda Music:-

    'Crossover'. Now what on earth does that mean, and where does it fit in amongst the Northern Soul scene ? Well it means records that were recorded during the late Sixties and early Seventies, records that don't fit the old style stomper beat, but don't fit comfortably into the Modern scene. The difficulty with Crossover is just that though, because it doesn't fit into either scene entirely it gets played on both, so just blurs the descriptions even more. I would hazard a guess that there are no allnighters that play just Crossover, but I'm sure someone will prove me wrong !

    Anyway, here's a few I like:-

    Jimmie Ellis - Happy To Be

    Little Carl Carlton - Drop By My Place 

    Bobby Foster - Where Do You Go

     

     

    I wouldn't sell mine for £50 , infact i wouldn't sell it  as it is that good !

    £20 ticket to a great allnighter with a piece of vinyl thrown in !  it's a gift of a tune.

    I wouldn't sell any of my anniversary 45's either Frank - Denise's copy is different :wicked:  I gave the September Jones/ Billy & Clyde spare we had to Billy. 

    As you say a gift of a tune. Love the flip too!
