I went to a lecture at Salford Uni a good few years ago, Lucy Gibson presented it. Tim Wall, Nicola Smith and Ady Croasdell spoke at this lecture. Is this where the parts for the above books are taken? This was the lecture I think...

Looking through the list again it seems like an excuse to exploit the collectors of their hard earned. Very little of interest, spurious claims on the Alice Clark Lp, other tracks that are not even rare even if one does have a pointless instrumental on the flip. Only one of interest to me is the Super Disco Edits Lp.

It seems they weren't too sure about when who was in the group at any particular period and just put everyone down through the different eras? Cleveland cannot have been in all the line ups, the Carstairs was a 73 recording, was it not until after this that he joined the FF, as in 1975? Horne and Newsome replaced Childs and Pruitt, when did they leave?

Here is the article... https://voices.washingtonpost.com/rawfisher/2008/08/48_years_later_a_singer_finall.html

International it maybe but that is for all aspects of the soul genre. Deep collectors will pay big money for the right records etc but IMO it is the brits driving the prices for records like this.

Thank you very much. Appreciated. I really enjoyed putting that article together. I did track one of the other members down before Larry came along. He was in a nursing home, we chatted a couple of times and tried to arrange a proper chat but he was moved and data protection laws in the US barred the nursing home from telling me where. Larry has tried to find him but no joy as of yet.

Wind Hit came first, Feb 1967. My Turn was recorded October 1967 and had three presses on Pathway, Cartoon, reversed and right way and the orange label. It is all covered in my article.

This is the Otisettes

The Joneses as in “Keeping Up With....” https://www.discogs.com/artist/247362-The-Joneses

It isn't the first time allegations have been cast his way.

Its a styrene boot pressed at Monarch (MR in a circle) sometime after mid 1976.

Can we name him and his alias, I seriously think others should be alerted with regard to this. If he hasn't done anything then he can clear his name.

With Dean Anderson lost in Paris somewhere, Doug Hall takes the chair to host the Sound Of Soul ™ . Joining Doug and Gez is David Raistrick to spread some more Crown Jewels to the every appreciative audience.

Northern lights in Brooklyn NY have also said he was the one who stole from them 6 months ago. He was the primary suspect which they say was confirmed when they saw the missing records being sold under his name or his alias.

The guy concerned is visiting shops in the US, has allegedly stolen from at least one store and has advertised them under his name and a known alias on selling groups on facebook. Don Parker, one of the victims (allegedly) has identified some of the records as his and they do look identical, same markings BB holes etc. It isn't just a small group on facebook, it is all over facebook. He has done or tried the same (allegedly) in other stores across Ohio. There was other reports of his behaviour a few months ago too.

Then I presume Jerry of Jerry and Willa, probably G. Billups as you suggest.

I assume the label was owned Frank Bendinelli and Leroy Lovett, Ben Lee Productions.

I’ve yet to get the new Lp. I was hoping it would be available on vinyl too.

Damn that Timmion for doing the Northern Soul lot out of some resale money 😂

The label colour is irrelevant. If from same master they are all first issue. Every popular release has several, indeed many sets of stampers. Do you all think a million seller is from same set of stampers? It is quite obvious with many of you lot that enjoying the music is secondary.

Listening to the fabulous flippers other tracks they could well both be the same group. Different style but there is a similarity. If they are the same why the name change for an act that was pretty popular going by the accounts on t’internet, and there is a few.

I’m not saying it was 62. More like 64/5. The story about him laying down is also one told about Marvin later

I would imagine recorded between 1962 when he was at Checkmate and 1964 when he joined the Temptations. Steve Mancha was released in 1965.

It only seems to exist with the northern soul lot, everyone else couldn’t give one. It is often someone with an agenda who pushes the ovo thing.
