    Don't think Mick played it, not that I remember, definitely Andy. I got alternate take of the Delegates of Soul and an unissued Aristocrats from same batch of unissued stuff. Most of it was to play out and promote the unissued Uplook Records material which would later come out on CD.

    You can get the original Gladys Lp for a tenner or so

    Bury is the only one I will get involved with. I have no interest whatsoever in doing a live stream and most I’ve heard the sound quality is piss poor.

    But Jobete own the publishing, that wouldn't go anywhere else would it even if Motown didn't record it. If Frank Wilson and Marc Gordon were staff writers wouldn't the song be registered with Jobete straight away rather than those two sell it to Jobete?

    Surprised me that, it wasn't on DFTMC website and not sure why a recording for Tollie would be with Motown? Realise there is a lot of Jobete material from the West Coast office out there on other labels, Paris "Sleepless Nights" and Sandy Wynn "Touch Of Venue" two examples on Doc. I assumed Toast To The Lady was simply one of those of no interest to Motown and Frank did it himself as Eddie Wilson. I wonder if there is a Motown recording artist doing Sleepless Nights?

    Bit lax of late so just catching up with Dean's shows from the last few weeks and the good news is he is back in the studio now, no guests allowed yet but hopefully soon.

    Frank Wilson – A Toast To The Lady Is this from the Motown Vaults or is it the Tollie Recording? It might be a Jobete publishing but surely thats as close to Motown as it got?

    Nick Stevenson has three copies at Lifeline.
  9. Chalky
    Terrible quality, sounds like its recorded in a toilet

    One of Sam’s cover ups, John sold three if memory serves in last few months via auction, maybe he has quantity, maybe they belong to others?
  11. Chalky
    Another Bee Vee and Honey, thats three now auctioned isn’t it?

    But if you look at the info it is UMG on behalf of Motown, if you are going to promote a label leave the UMG out of it and push the brand. like you say nice enough voice but it is nothing different to any other mainstream black artists out there. They need to look what companies like Timmion, Big Crown etc are doing with black music.
  13. Chalky
    Are any labels how we knew them? I would think most are owned by conglomerates with no identity anymore. Given the history I’m surprised though it has taken UMG so long to make use of the name in the world of black music.
  14. Chalky
    Yeah just read that, alongside the US talent. Call me a cynic but is this exploiting the situation with BLM’s with black music being more in the spotlight recently? Not a bad thing by any means but why has it taken so long for the premier black music label to get its act together once again?
  15. Chalky
    Is this to milk more money from the same old same Motown or to explore its vast catalogue? Maybe they have seen what good the reissue labels like Kent etc have been doung?
  16. Chalky
    How do you get round the Dj and music when there isn’t supposed to be either? Music should be background and quiet, so quiet no one has to raise their voice or lean in to tne other to hear?
  17. Chalky
    That’s him mate, had some laughs with him.
  18. Chalky
    Yep as long as space allows as many as you can get in. But we all know all those in attendance know each other, are mixing and no social distancing. Enough phots on social media to prove this. as you say puzzling how they get away with it especially as they are running an event with more than 30 in attendance. 50 lots of 6 eating out or having a drink in their own bubble aren’t attending an event.
  19. Chalky
    You can have thirty in a pub, but in groups of 6 only and plenty of space between the tables. But I would imagine this is meant for eating out or just a group of 6 out for a drink, not 40 or 50 etc out for a soul night. That is how I read it
  20. Chalky
    It should be nothing more than background music, not a full set of decks and a DJ.
  21. Chalky
    You can only have spaced out tables as in a pub, no dancing and not supposed to be any music. It was only 30 at an event before
  22. Chalky
    Combinations and Main Change?
  23. Chalky
    Hi Knocker, yeah same Phil Deakin I think, bloody nutter. Remember him a lot from football with Holmewood.
  24. Chalky
    Cheers thought it was one of Richards. I thought Dave bought it along with Chessmen etc.
  25. Chalky
    Hi mate, hope you are well. Rat Deakin, was he from Holmewood?
