two cracking releases at a great price too, what's not to like.

Its a keeper for those who have it that's why it is rarely for sale. There are copies out there though.

This is what I put together with Sidney at the time Shee Records 563 E. Tremont Avenue, Bronx, New York, Founded by Larry Roberts with some other partners. Sidney Barnes was asked to help set up the label, coming up with the name and the logo. Sid was a Motown Staff writer at the time and Lucille White took a song to Motown with the hope of getting it recorded, it was rejected. However Sid liked the song and thought it would be ideal for Little Nicky Soul at the newly created Shee records. Little Nicky, real name Nichalous Faircorth was from Newark, New Jersey and was a very good friend of Sidney Barnes. Sidney collaborated with Lucille, helping rewrite the lyricsand produced the recording of the song for Little Nicky. He is credited on the label as M. Alexander as he couldn’t use his real name because he was solely contracted to Motown. Richard Tee, the arranger and conductor was a piano player at Jobete, he later went on to work as musical arranger for Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin. Despite rumours Little Nicky didn’t record any other tracks with Shee according to Sidney. One other release on the label was by the Four Arts. The group was Lee Gilliard, Cleve Gilliard, Dave Richards and Ike Richards. Sidney doesn’t remember anything about them. The 45 was written and produced by Larry Roberts. SR-100 Four Arts Just One Night (ZTSP 94861) Who Do You Think You Are (ZTSP 94862) SR-101 Little Nicky Soul I Wanted To Tell You (ZTSP 94863) You Said (ZTSP 94864)

Great to hear from you and so glad you could find this information about your step dad. His 45 is worth quite a lot of money these days, both 45s on the label are very in demand. If you have anything else you can add it would be great to see.

Its the same trailer in the topic posted a month ago isn’t it?

Just read the sellers feedback. You usually get a good indication from that if they grade properly. I haven’t had one problem with any seller and I have bought quite a bit through there. One of the best places to buy, especially LPs.

Bootleg hard drive you mean? No matter how it is dressed up he doesn’t have the rights to sell those tracks.

Doesn’t look right to me, as said the run out is wider

Record fairs seem to be pretty popular with them all over the country. There is a page for them, Record Fairs UK, you can sign up for a weekly list of events. https://sites.google.com/site/recordfairsuk/home

Dean Anderson's Sound of Soul is graced with two legends of the scene who have a bout 150 years experience between them Both can talk the hind legs off a donkey but there is room for some music. Stuart Cosgrove, vast amount of experience and knowledge and as well as being a successful broadcaster he is now a critically acclaimed writer with his books on Black Music a must read for everyone with an interest in Soul Music. Guy Hennigan, legendary Dj from the 70s and of course the Stafford All-nighters, the king of the cover up and one who has discovered as many records as anyone. Enjoy an informative enjoyable three hours of music, chat and banter.

What is the Lp?

Is Sugar Lumps the group or the name of the compilation?

What Lp is it on? I don’t know an Lp by the Sugar Lumps?

I don’t think the show was too predictable. Maybe a lot of info the mainstream MOR audience care little about but there was some good choices by Richard.

Probably just a rumour unless its the recent test press. There is one in 5the Jobete offices as two sent to Motown, one for the labels vault and one for Jobete. The publishing arm, so I believe.

But one of the three is from a different plant, a test press too

I’d forgotten all about this, I commented at the time in Kev Spittle’s group on FB....I also saved the photo Laurence posted

Whilst predictable to us, to a mainstream radio 2 audience it probably wasn’t.

Dean Anderson is joined for a second time Lynne & Dave Girdwood.
