Chalky

Too easy to cut some slack when sat at a keyboard. I’ve been round Leicestershire this week in wagon and water is everywhere, all the rivers and canals have burst banks. Melton was practically cut off. They have only been processing orders for less than a week due to New Year and the floods. I ordered some almost two weeks ago, they will get to me some time soon.

Never really worked on the floor though so probably put some off who don’t want to work at it and want dance floor winners only

Startones - Loving you baby

me neither

I presume the DJ copy is for the bottom scan. Both the same layout just slightly different colour.

They have also had to contend with floods in Melton, all roads in were closed as they were under water.

I'd imagine the top one was a first then the second when a distribution deal was struck

Looks like the same guy in the photo The Yank posted

I would imagine they were closed for Christmas and New Year and have since been inundated with orders

Will be there to pay my respects and send him off

Covered up as Carole Waller though.

Same singer with the Jackals as on Musette and Imperial but the obituary is not the JJ Jackson the original poster wants info for.

I do like to read others perspective of their time on the scene. It can join a lot of dots from the times you/we missed if you like the history of the scene.

I bought two LPs off discogs, I get the refund when they process the order, I also bought a 45 off his website, discount applied straight away with the code HALFPRICE. There are plenty of bargains on his site and discogs.

Dean Anderson presents THE SOUND OF SOUL™ 2ND January 2025 8 -10pm **LIVE CHAT EVERY WEEK** Join Gez and Dean for 2 hours of the usual quality music and live chat as we ease into 2025.

That doesn’t make it a Monarch press though. As discussed in another topic, if there is no delta number and MR stamp I doubt it being a monarch press.

A happy, healthy and prosperous 2025 to you all.

West Coast promo with producer arranger details at the bottom, is there a West Coast issue though? No mention though of it being a Monarch press https://www.discogs.com/release/6043803-Sugar-And-The-Spices-Have-Faith-In-Me-Teardrops

The group was from Detroit and were discovered by Irving Micahnik and Harry Balk. Harry Balk probably got them the Big Top deal along with the other labels. Great track and one I had in my sets late 80s early 90s at places like Tracky Club.

Yes, Fury recordings are from 61/62, could be Veejay as in a similar vein which is 63. It is a strange compilation for sure.

It sounds earlier than the Maxx material, maybe from Bobby Robinson stable as you say when she recorded for Fury.
