If it is the Elliott Shavers I know and have spoken to in the past he didn't keep a low profile, he was a well known Jazz musician and was alive a well a few years ago. Not spoken to him for a few years though.

He was but there is also another Sonny Daye who isn’t Frank.

Not sure it was out and out violence, I was told he was sprayed with fart spray? Seen some of the comments, seen that it was a few sprayed. yet to get a definitive answer from a neutral that he was the sole target. BUT there is no place for bullies and bullying.

OVO was never meant to not include national and foreign releases. Its just others making things up as they go along. There are no sayings that are needed except no bootlegs, the rest are just for idiots.

Yeah, we'll just tell United Artists and Steve Karmen etc we aren't allowed to play the record 🙄

Great article with some fabulous photos and info.

Just because it is a Jobete publishing track doesn’t necessarily mean it is motown and Motown behind it. If Motown didn’t take up the tracks their writers put to them they were quite entitled to use elsewhere and often did. What do you think Frank Wilson and Chris Clark were moonlighting on? Is Frank Wilson credited on anything on Magnum, which artist do you think is Frank Wilson?

Connection to what Magnum! Sonny Daye is Frank Wilson.

He could be Ollie Hoskins of Ollie and the Nightingale’s who also recorded for Pepper

As have most and many do not count 45s released years after for the scene. To many they are still LP only tracks. If I was running a venue I would want the Lp on the turntable rather than an expansion release.

Isn't it a more recent release though, i.e. years after the Lp?

Debbie Troops is on facebook

I doubt there are many left unreleased? The whole point of releasing them is for copyright protection otherwise they fall into the public domain....I think.

Membership cards? They were in use through to the 90s at least. You couldn’t get in without one. Think the police cancelled membership, well made them start again late 80s if memory serves?

I’ve ‘68 Pt 1 & 2 on the player for this week.

They have been coming out for a few years now. Started with 1962. Probably released before they are out of copyright.

You couldn't scan me that could you Ian, nice and flat. PDF or 300 Dpi minimum?. Thanks Chalky

Dean Anderson is once again joined on The Sound Of Soul ™ by Malayka Erpen for more quality across the board soul music from all the genres, Malayka's life in 10 records and an hour of European only releases.

Not sure about Lp only without checking but Lou Courtney "I'm In Need Of Love" on Epic, fantastic Lp. All of the tracks! Natural Four Lps have some excellent Lp only tracks too. Gingi James one Brunswick I'm sure has one or two, Voices of East Harlem Lps as well has some Lp only gems. There is loads and one reason why Lps are all I collect these days, much more fun.

Congratulations Ady and everyone concerned. Some achievement which I doubt will ever be matched and rightly so. Very few clubs have done for the scene what the 100 Club has done and most never will.

I though it was 80s or 90s

Bit sugary (no pun intended) pop, MOR. When was it made?

First time I met Sean he was being Sean, somewhat difficult. As soon as he found out I knew Pete Lawson we were best mates 😂 we, well Sean talked about him for two hours, did me fcukin head in 😂😂😂 last time I saw him at 100 he went through my sales, the box ended up a right mess 🙄😳 everyone else shut their boxes when they saw him going though mine. He had two ha’pennies to rub together but he ask me “how much?” for everyone 😂 Top lad though and one you’d want at yer side when the sh*t hit the fan 😉
