Press Release: Various We Got A Sweet Thing Going On Volume 3 SJCD 5014 Listen whilst you read: Recording 09-12-2017, 19.14.29.mp3 Your browser does not support the audio element Release Date: Monday 11th December 2017 The third volume of our “We Got A Sweet Thing Going On” series returns with yet another esoteric mix of sweet and group harmony soul. This compilation features both sides of The Scott Three’s in demand rarity “Running Wild (Ain’t Gonna Help You)/Gotta Find A New Love” they are joined by fellow Georgian Robert Montgomery (check out his two recent Soul Junction 45’s) with his previously unissued recording “Love Song About You”. The City of Brotherly Love is heavily represented in this compilation with acts such as The Toppiks with both sides of their desirable Larsam 45 “Give It A Chance To Grow/Surrender” and their previously unissued track “Win All Your Love” a recent release on a Soul Junction 45 (SJ1009) as the flip to The Cooperettes version of the same song, a double dose of Philly soul heaven. One side of Bobby Banks solitary Gil label release “Read It And Weep” is followed by Music Machines unissued sweet soul gem “Imitation Of Life”, originally recorded as the flipside to their Red Coach label outing “By The Hair On My Chinny Chin Chin” then inexplicably dropped in favour of an instrumental version of “Chinny Chin Chin”! The sound of Philadelphia continues through The Delagates Of Soul’s emotionally charged “Lucky Guy I Am”, The Four Thoughts “Plain As The Nose”, The Coalitions “Nothin’ Left 2 Do” and the all girl group The Jonesetts Cougar records double sider “Once I Had A Love/Stop Look Listen” With older sister Karin Jones later going on to record the respected solo album “Under The Influence Of Love” (Handshake Records). Chicago group The Flairs are featured with their recently reactivated mid tempo dance floor favourite “You Got To Steal It” the flipside of their Rap 45 “Where You Live” is also included a great song that needed to come out of the shadows of it’s more illustrious A-side. Detroit outfit The Holidays are represented through two of their own productions the uplifting dancer “I’m So Glad (That I Met You)” and their, oh so soulful “This Is Love (A Little Understanding)”. The final act featured is Cleveland Ohio’s The Donations with their mellifluous “I’m Going To Treat You Good” a group that later became World War III who recorded the currently very apt “If The Bomb Falls Were All Going Together” !

If memory serves he wasn't a collector, he was from Hull and bought it for his wife. They split up some time later I believe.

Got a lot of plays at one time

I agree it is and has been the best for years. But the lack of info isn’t helping. Had quite a few ask me if I’d heard anything and I haven’t. Looks like being the Saturday night only for us.
-
Fair few artists agrieved that they never made owt and say the releases were not legal. I remember Don Gardner saying he wasnt aware that Cheating Kind was ever released when he was shown a copy at Prestatyn, he simply sent tapes down to the owner who was a friend and he put it out without his knowledge....so he said.

Mark Bicknell in the studio this week with some Secret Stash exclusives....
-
Cleethorpes will struggle next year, half a dozen weekenders planned and up and running for June next year. I did hear this week that an announcement was due . Quite a few already booked for Lamont manc show if it is Cleethorpes that weekend. I can't see it being the week after as that is the Blackpool Festival I think.
-
tickets for most if not all the shows https://www.eventim.co.uk/tickets.html?affiliate=PP2&doc=artistPages/tickets&fun=artist&action=tickets&includeOnlybookable=true&kuid=547176&xtor=SEC-303030542-GOO-[Lamont_Dozier_-_SOLO]-[236368030469]-S-[%2Blamont %2Bdozier]&gclid=CjwKCAiA9f7QBRBpEiwApLGUil1SUAsfQP8-f7OhFbNr5ZxRHFTHfXF3z3zyc-0kf_PGdXm6aQGNfBoCnw4QAvD_BwE

tickets booked for Manchester

going to try and make Manchester
-
Soul music legend Lamont Dozier will be visiting these shores in 2018 with several dates including the Blackpool International Soul Festival for a Q&Q and show.
-
working away all week it can be difficult to see some of the acts, days holiday on Monday to see Spencer and Percy.
-
was looking all over for that cheers pal
-
Adrian Gibson Music Productions maybe one to watch, he promotes many that appear at BOTW. He doesn't have a mailing list though from what I can see. Keni Burke with four dates might appeal to some, I can't make it though as it is mid week :/
-
In my experience of going to see acts at band on the wall I doubt posting here would have generated too many more sales. Seen very few active scene goers tbh. But I will do my best to pass on any acts I see coming to the uk in future. Keni Burke is doing a few shows in January.... Lee Fields is appearing in London and he is always a great show.
-
AGMP are promoting Lee Fields and Keni Burke in the UK in January.
-
Better ask the promoter adrian gibson music or band on the wall, its advertised elsewhere
-
The shows have been promoted for some months now, early this year at least.
-
I went to manchester. About two thirds full downstairs, upstairs not used. Very good show but disappointing turnout given how many soul music lovers live within an hour of the place. Couple of videos on my facebook page.
-
I've sent a fair few myself without problem but I have read plenty of stories of things going amiss, damage etc. But I wouldn't post anywhere abroad without tracked and signed for.
-
anyway it matters little, both original
-
I think Dave Raistrick found them first at the distributors warehouse, orange. But Lucky Davis said the yellow was first when I asked him. Probably juts two print runs close to each other rather than a reissue as such using whatever labels and colours were to hand.
-
I haven't seen a definitive answer with evidence to say which is first or to say the orange is 1980 but I was told by a well respected collector that it wasn't 1980 as he had a copy before then. They weren't that far apart from each other.
-
Spain is notorious for things going awry, tracked and signed only mate regardless of the price
-
I charge to Europe Internationally Tracked & Signed For = £9.00 up to £50, £12 up to £250. The actual cost is a little under but I round it up to cover packaging.
