Stock/Issue vâs Promo
Iâm not certain but Iâm sure you cannot press as many demos as you want. You can do a certain percentage of the stock copies is what I think I read a long time ago. The likes of RCA probably pressed the issues but if they didnât hit/sell they probably recycled the vinyl. They would also send out demos nationwide hence the number compared to the lack of issues. If you look at smaller local independant labels demos are more than likely to be a lot more scarcer than issues. Some releases may not have got passed the promotional stage.

The Best Record Ever Played By Soul Sam
I donât think Margaret Little was Sam first, Mark Speakman if memory serves. Dynamics was a Gavin Page spin back in the early 90s, long before any mentioned here.

OVO
I want to listen to rare soul, be it on an actete, local release, national release or an Lp. I donât wish to hear reissues from years later or bootlegs. Iâve Djed countless times too and Iâve never been asked do I play OVO, nor have I ever asked that of any promoter or DJ, you just know the score when you are around the scene. Why do we need the rules when as a promoter you are booking the right people, why the need to tell everyone you are an OVO event. The vast majority already knw the score the rest couldnât give a monkey.

Its a pop at anyone who says different tbh, no one in particular. I was simp,y quoting what you said.

But it is ât though is it, it is justba few idiots spouting off on social media, some using the term on their flyer for some sort of credibility. Most couldnât give a sh*t, that includes your serious collectors and Djs. Most support the venues who do it how it should be done without being told some silly rule. You only have to read topics like this to see that most either havenât a clue what they are on about or cannot agree on whatbthe criteria for such a rule should be. As I said just go out and enjoy the music, support those who you know care and do it right and smack those who spout silly rules round the head with a bootleg or two đ

Any one who plays the MGM, their reputation would be solid, except for some fuck wit in a dark corner who it seems hasnât got a clue.

There you go complicating a simply situation, any LP, local, national release, any company reissue within a reasonable time period is original release. I wouldnât play a reissue if a first press there or even the acetate personally. Anyone who says a national releae isnât original and ok to play needs to give their head a good wobble.

Again I doubt there is one venue anywhere that sticks strictly to this stupid rule.

OVO
Again this topic simply highlights how ridiculous some people are, wonât go anywhere that plays acetates, cds etc etc. How daft can this scene get. Why not just put yer trust in the promoter and the Dj, most do it right and most of us know who do try to do it right. As for master recording, donât be so daft, its a dance scene and who on earth plays the tapes? Just go out and enjoy yer sen rather putting stupid ridiculous rules in the way of others. As I said most quote OVO for their own agenda and to make em look clever, most of us have got by pretty well for decades without the stupid term. Some of you want to take your heads out from up your arses before you disappear altogether.

Whatâs wrong with an acetate? You gonna tell the likes of Butch,Ady or Andy Dyson etc they canât play an avetate?

Is that not an Lp track though?

Motown Unreleased 60 at 60
I quite easily left those selections out. I only had 60 choices and many wee made by friends. I could probably have done another 60 quite easily. In fact if we can come up with 60 more I will do part two. Thank you.

The Servicemen
This topic is the first I've heard of the Royal Imperials being the Servicemen. It has never been mentioned in any conversation with Larry Banks. I will ask for clarification though. Maybe Andy is getting confused with the 5 Royales track the Servicemen cut (âRight Around The Cornerâ) that never came out until the CD Hadley released? The Wind Hit tracks were recorded at Audio Recorders of Arizona in Phoenix, can't tell you where they were pressed, probably somewhere local. The Pathway release had at least three presses, Cartoon, reversed and correct way for the labels and the orange release (which was also booted). My Turn was recorded October 1967 so either a late 67 or early 68 press. Wind Hit was early 1967, their second release after the Chartmaker 45 which was the year before (April '66) and recorded the at the Bob Ross Studios, Lelandway and Vine, Los Angeles, California.

If you read their story youâd know, all in there.

I think anyone with ears can tell they are different groups. Whoever thought they were the same must have ears painted on.

The Servicemen photo came via myself from Larry Banks, one of the Servicemen. Larry gave me the names. What does it have to do with Roy & The Dewdrops?

Impulse - You Changed Me/Whatâs That Sound -Â Kandi
Impulse âYou Changed Me/Whatâs That Soundâ Kandi Two previously unissued tracks released as a vanity project in the fall of 2018. âYou Changed Meâ is an excellent modern soul dancer already being championed by Djâs in the know, while âWhatâs That Soundâ is a more funk influenced outing. Copies available at ÂŁ12.00 each plus ÂŁ3.00 postage (1strecorded, UK) overseas at cost. (Sorry only one copy per person). To reserve PM or E-mail: david.welding@blueyonder.co.uk The Groups History: Impulse were (and still are) a group of Milwaukee, Wisconsin musicians who during 1976 migrated to Oakland California where they hooked up with a fellow Brewtown producer and recording artist, one Harvey Scales. Scales himself in 1976, through his earlier local hit âGlamour Girlâ (recorded for the local Sauk City, Cuca Label) and a string of recordings for Lenny Lacourâs Magic Touch label. Of which âGet Downâ had bought him both National and International attention through it being picked up Atlantic Records was at the height of his powers, following the success of Johnny Taylors Columbia Records platinum hit âDisco Ladyâ a song Scales co-wrote. Under the auspice of Scales, Impulse began recording a self titled debut album project for a proposed release on the Casablanca label. This release for whatever reason never materialised and it is from the surviving master tapes that the above two tracks have been taken. The Casablanca setback although disappointing would not be the end of The Impulse story, the groups lead singer /songwriter John Gee had begun performing secular music in the late 60âs with another local Milwaukee outfit , The Chefâs and had sung lead on their 1974 Funk outing âMr Machineâ on their own Pro-Gress label. John credited as a solo artist recorded (in Milwaukee) the 1980 release âNot Enough Love Makinâ/You Are That Man (Why Donât You Be That Man)â which gained a release on the Oakland C.A Pashlo label. Followed by the 1985 modern soul dance favourite âSo Good To Me/Just Get Onâ recorded under the artist name of Jon Pierre Gee for his own Kandi Inc label, as 45, 12â and cd project, returning in 2005 with the Ahâvant Soul concept cd album project. Throughout all these projects Jon has used and enjoyed performing with the original members of Impulse, Michael Reese (Rhodes Piano and Background vocals), Cedrick Rupert (Lead and Rhythm Guitar), Jeffrey Williamson (Drums and background vocals) and Robin Gregory (Bass and background vocals. These guys are still performing today (2019) with the exception of drummer, Jeffrey Williamson who passed away during 2015, his replacement being Coley Jackson. Words By David Welding.
