Oppps, that said I think you might have answers already...

Nope, I don’t dislike it, but I'm happy to say I prefer 'The Soul Set - Will You Ever Learn' a million times over Mello Souls...

Wow, loads and loads of tracks across three pages, and loads still coming in, shall we leave it for a day then I can count em up, and we can put the top three to the vote. hows that? malc

Much the same, in regard to gettin on with business, but Bud Harper's better by a country mile! lol Maybe we should put the best on this thread to a vote, we can do that, it would be quite an accolade.

Bud Harper - Wherever you Were, kicks in, and you know exactly where you are! the business!

Has somebody mentioned Diane Lewis - I Thank You Kindly / Wand? or would that come under Detroit producers, or Detroit productions and recordings of Detroit artists that are leased to other labels? Produced by Herman Griffin, Says H&A Productions so I guess so...?

Good stuff Benji, something for everyone in this one. Some very old, oldies! at the start, I don't always admit it, but after hating it throughout my teens, I actually like Muriel Day, a bit...

and some more

Here's a load, all Birds and Horses init... and the odd cat

Thats a mean hit Kev! I got a load of stuff out of Neptoon on the day I visited, unopened 25 count boxes of Motown titles, loads of Canadian only tracks, stuff like Sy Risby/Chuck Flintroy, they were all cheap, under $10/5 bucks. One place I though was crap initially was Calgary but I did find one shop where I had the same sort of experience as yourself, found loads of good stuff, and the lady at the counter didnt know how much to charge, she was sitting in for the owner, so I agreed $3 each, I think there 60 records in total... I also made a sharp exit! laughing

When I walked in there, I had to walk past three tasty looking dudes who had a soundsystem in the boot of their car, the boot was open and they were drapped all over it, so he comes outs out and shots F*** off you lot, customers! I felt a right drip with my little box and harrington jacket... and your right, he had buggar all that day as well Paul ! I have posted these pictures before, but the bottom level of Neptoon Records in Toronto was an eye opener! Sure you can look, just watch out for the 'GIMP'!

will do, they look great as well. Thats me till after Christmas then!

This is a real shock, condolences to his family.

Might be a bit late, but we just finished Yellowstone on Netflix. well series 1-5, ep 8, there are two they don’t have on Netflix, which was a bit crap. Really well written Characters, well worth a binge watch if you haven’t seen it.

He's British, so likey Island first?

I think the link here maybe a guy called Ellis Taylor, he owned Forte, wrote, and Produced Martha, and the Discogs link here states they were married, hense her name 'Taylor' on the Forte 45, I think his work might have influenced others at Excello, where he worked in the early 7ts, so no accident the 'sound' on Shirley Brown is very near. https://www.discogs.com/artist/1740838-Ellis-Taylor-2 They also sang together, him being the 'Gripey' husband, think he may have been saying somethibg there? laughing

This sounds very close to 'Shirley Brown - Even If The Signs Are Wrong' which was an unreleased Excello track that Kent put on their brill CD 'Uptown Down South', I wonder if they swapped it about a bit, the melody and tempo are very very simular.

Hi folks, need a nice copy of this track, allot are in bad shape as far I can see. Shirley & Her Squires - Drip Drop / Constellation Anybody got a nice one? Best Malc

Thats a shame john, I could do with those... Malc

I love 'Don't Let Our Love Fade Away' on Excello, and her 'This is my Quest' on T-Neck is especially good deepie, written and produced by Floyd Smith, and Lennie Satin no less.
