Hi Fred , The Last Time I Spoke With You Was At " Leeds Soul Central " The One Before Xmas 2017 ( Recalling " Brian Taylor's "40th Or 50Th Birthday Bash ) with SWISH Dj'ing In The Garden Marquee - Can't Recall If You Did A Spot Also ?? . P.S. I'm Not That Familiar With " Who 's Who " On Here ? , Mr King Was Accompanied By KEITH MINSHULL - He Was One Of The Dj's There ! I Can Visualize Him Playing " The Marvelettes - What's Easy For Two, Is Hard For One " On A Red Tamla Motown Issue .

The B-Side " Your Love Grows More Precious Every Day " Was Played Now & Then ! ,someone nicked my U.K. Issue at a Party Had To replace with a Copy On Gordy . The Most Played CONTOURS Wheel Tracks 1968 Onwards :- "Determination " - " Just A Little Misunderstanding "- " Can You Jerk Like Me " - " Can You Do It " - " It's So Hard Being A Loser " - "First I Look at the Purse " - " Do You Love Me " .

I Don't Ever Recall " Love,Love,Love " Being Played in The Wheel ! , It Would Have Been Massive - Certainly Not Played Any Number Of Times . However Just After The Wheel Closed , The Wheelies From Hyde - Along With " Pete Tilsley & Brian Leah From Stockport Started Attending " Up The Junction - CREW " That's When We Heard The Bobby Hebb Track ! . Margie Hendrix B-Side Right Track ( Mercury U.K. )Also Played at Whitworth Street .

Mood Mosaic was one of three versions played - Westminster City Strings - The Second City Sound . My Sweet Potato - U.k. Red Atlantic ( later imports STAX ) Also played " Hole in the wall " & " Hold On I'm Coming " The Dynatones ( H B R ) L.p. .

The Photo Below Shows The " Soft Drinks Area " Leading To The Cellar, Down The Stairs - Left To The Dj's And Rooms , Right To The " Stage And Rooms Or Straight Across To The Long Alley ( Leading To The Other Front -Emergency Exit ) .

A Quid Each ! - Seemed Expensive At The Time , But As You Point Out The Quality Is Great - Some Of The U.S.A. Issues Would Have Been On STYREEN ?? .

I Never Bothered To Purchase It As A Mate Had A Copy Of " Come See About Me " , Instead I Went For " That Motown Sound " Earl Van Dyke On U.k. ( Hence My Handle EVD6 ) , The Cover Is A Bit Worn Now But Vinyl is still Decent .

Was Down At The " Blue Orchid " One Niter , When " Jeff King " Came Over And Enquired " What Wheel Records Are You After " We Gave Him A List Of In-Demanders ! ( Not Knowing He Was Pressing Up - " SOUL SOUNDS " Records ) , Six Or More Weeks Later " Down Them Stairs " At Whitworth St - He Was Selling Them At A Quid Each . One I Mentioned Was Not Pressed as He Found A Few Original Copies On A.B.C. - TROY KEYES " You Told Your Story " .

The Los Canarios Copy I Recall From The Wheel ! , Was Played on " Major Minor " U.k. Issue , And Danced Quite A Few Times To " Cool Aid " At ( Whitworth Street ) , Unfortunately The B-Side " Detroit " Was Not Up To Much .

Played At The " TOP TWENTY CLUB "( Hollinwood-Oldham ) And " WHEEL " , This Hammer Is The B-Side Of " STRONG LOVE " Which Was Also Played " DOWN THEM STAIRS " , As Was The Original Version On SHURE SHOT By The MALIBUS - IT's Written That Label Owner Don Robey ( Shure Shot-Duke-Peacock-Backbeat ) Sent A Copy To The S.P.D Group's Manager - Saying It Would Suit Them ! .

I Still Have my Copy ! , Both Sides Were Played - But The " Right Kind " Did Not Get As Much Reaction , After The Wheel Closed It Began To Get Some Reaction ? I Still Like It's FEEL With That Piano Sounding Not Unlike " Choker Campbell " - Hits Of The Sixties 1965 L.p. Released On Tamla Motown .

Purchased My Copy Backstage At " BELE VUE " Elizabeathan From " LADDIE BURKE " ( Lead vocalist ) He Signed The Only Piece Of Paper In My Pocket " Chess / Checker Appreciation Society - Membership Card " He Said The Box Of Vinyl Had Just Been Picked Up From Being Pressed ?? .
