John Anderson got the remaining stock of theirs a long time ago.

Who is the Jan Jones on the Specials 45s? Discogs someone has put him/her down as the jan Jones on Day-Wood?

ffs, sodding auto spell corrector on iMac is annoying I need issue 8 of Detroit City Limits, I have 1-8 all spiral bound and 1-10 minus 8 as they were bought. I need own Talk of The North, have a spare of the first I think, I need an issue or two Midnite Express and a few Blackbeat

Midnite Express there was only 7 and only 10 for Detroit City Limits. I'm off for the week shortly and hoping to get the mags out and organise them if I get a few hours spare.

Just catching up on here with the latest shows from Dean Anderson and the Sound Of Soul....

Tough watch but a great film

So much good stuff coming out lately, two more I'll have to buy 😁 Have to be in a week or two, maxed out this week unfortunately.

Thanks, she has a great voice

for some reason won't play but it is sure to be an essential purchase, her last Lp was superb.

It'll be better off on mixcloud. Needs converting too mp3 and it should upload 4 hours worth no problem. If you have problems split it. Send it over here if you want it converting and splitting in two and I'll send it back.

I’d say it is the same singer on both discs, discogs has them together but that means little.

If anyone has a copy of this they wish to part with give us a shout. TIA

There’s been a few Tomangoes sold and in decent nick in recent times and some fetching a similar price, as Nick says not sure what the surprise is? Its not as rare as many make out either but its one of the best ever and will always have demand for it.

Not sure if many are aware of this documentary about the legendary Cincinnati record label, King. Might be of interest to some.

Not at all. There are plenty of acts who struggled at Motown purely because Motown focused on The Supremes, Tempts, Tops etc. Stevie Wonder was forever battling the company for creative control as were other acts, Marvin Gaye being another. It has already been said look what we would have missed if he had gone to Motown early in his career. He has a body of work at Brunswick that stands against any solo artist at Motown IMHO and I strongly believe Motown couldn't have bettered it. I'm not sure Motown with their output aimed largely at the white mor/pop market would have marketed Jackie better than where he was? Maybe Jackie's motive for wanting to leave was because Tarnopol was screwing him, i.e. financial and he thought he might get a better deal at Motown who didn't have a great reputation with its payments to artists either? Was Tarnopol ruining him musically? He continued to put some great music out throughout the 60s and into the 70s.

Who cares tbh? Jackie has a great body of work regardless and Motown probably would have ruined him just like they did others they didn’t know what to do with.

Great article Kev.

Beverley Longmire is/was her married name. I don't recall reading anything much about her. There was an article on here that says she left the business to look after her brothers and sisters after her mother died of cancer?

The story of Jackie being hung out of the window by his ankles until he signed a new contract was in the first press of the biography. It was later taken out.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to play it tbh? Each two their own and all that but it ain't very good and certainly not "Northern"? Bubblegum pop as you say.
