Mark Wilson from o'er the border sent me down a few tapes to document the era. Great quality listen of Butch and Kitch (and a little bit of Ady Croasdell) at Tony's Empress ballroom, Blackburn for the Soultown 2nd anniversary, January 1990.

First heard King Curtis on Buddy Holly recordings, he can just about make that sax talk.

I didn't say he couldn't play but I've read he could only play three chords, Shotgun was done in just one chord so I also read.

I keep seeing Jnr Walker mentioned but wasn't he very limited in what he could actually play and a lot of clever editing/production work behind many of his finished products at Motown?

excellent informative article Rob

Came across this from Georgia Soul, Brian Poust I think from some time back. Seems Matt Brown and Matthew Brown despite earlier doubts are one and the same. As a child in Macon, Matt Brown’s father was in a gospel quartet called The Morningstars. Matt’s father soon put together The Morningstar Juniors, made up of Matt, his cousins Robert and Calvin Thomas, and another cousin named Eddie Smith. The Morningstar Juniors kicked around for a while until Matt joined the Air Force in 1964. While in the Air Force, Matt was stationed at Homestead Air Force Base until 1968. Matt kept close contacts with the music scene in Macon and waited for his chance to record. Matt left the Air Force in 1968, and got together in March of that year with Macon producer Bobby Smith in Jacksonville, FL. The result of that meeting was his first solo recording, “Love Me Just A Little Bit” b/w “Funky Soul Train”. Bobby Smith worked out a deal with the New Jersey based Sew City label, and this would Matt’s only release by his full name, Mathew Brown. Matt headed back home to Macon and met two people who would shape the next few years of his life. Ted Clark was a DJ at Macon’s WNEX-AM radio station and was something of a talent agent/manager on the side. Hamp Swain, a DJ at WIBB-AM was about as big a deal as there could be for black radio in Macon, having helped to break open the careers of Little Richard, James Brown and Otis Redding. Hamp also had a record shop, and was setting himself up to start his own record label called Jar-Val, named after his children Jarvis and Val. Ted Clark had recently signed Matt’s cousin and fellow Morningstar Junior, Robert Thomas, to a management contract and worked with Hamp Swain and Major Bill Smith of Fort Worth Texas on Robert’s first and only solo 45 “Salvation” b/w “Soul of A Man” (Charay C-87). Matt brought on Ted Clark as his own manager shortly after his cousin was signed, and got his shot at the microphone alongside Robert with The Men From Macon on their 45 “Fire Lighter” b/w “Soul of A Man” (Charay C-89). During the same session as the Men From Macon recording, a number of other songs were cut by Matt & Robert, including solo efforts. In the discography below, everything with the date 1969 was recorded during one session in Atlanta at Master Sound Studio. While speaking with Matt, the song “Run For Cover” (Jar-Val 001) caused a little bit of confusion since he didn’t remember the song title. After some discussion, he remembered that the song was written on the spot in the studio. It is not clear if “Run For Cover” and “Pride and Joy” were always meant for release on Hamp Swain’s Jar-Val label, or if Major Bill Smith simply didn’t want to use them for his own use. Either way, these are the songs that kicked off Swain’s new label. In 1971, Robert Thomas died in the swimming accident which we had previously (and erroneously) written was Matt. Hamp Swain teamed up with Matt Brown again a couple of years later for two more 45s. The first of which was “Everyday” (Jar-Val 004), recorded at LeFevre Studios in Atlanta, with horns overdubbed later at Capricorn in Macon. The “LeFevre Strings” were members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. For the “Thank You Baby” 45 (Jar-Val 006), Tom Wright’s studio on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta was used, and the backing musicians were coordinated by Tee Fletcher in Atlanta, as Tee was working as a producer at Wright’s studio at the time. “Thank You Baby” is a Tee Fletcher song, which Tee had recorded with Wendell Parker a few years earlier (Josie 970), but the arrangement for Matt was slowed down a little bit, and to my ears is the superior version. In 1974, Matt moved up to Philadelphia to attend Combs College of Music, which he was able to attend due to his Air Force service, which qualified him to take advantage of the GI Bill. By 1978, Matt had completed his studies and returned to Macon. However, there would be no more recording for Matt. He did, however, wind up gigging somewhat informally around Macon singing and playing bass guitar with Robert Lee Coleman (formerly with James Brown’s band) on guitar and Jaimoe of the Allman Brothers on drums. Matt eventually left music, but after having the opportunity to speak with him, it’s clear that the music hasn’t left him. Bio thanks to Georgia Soul

Not Sheer Coincidence is it? Don't think it is as not sure if that line in the lyrics?

First time ever at the Casino on this night of John And The Weirdest. Great hour of Rare Soul and great quality too.

The tape has the first ever play on it of No Time "Spyder Turner & The Webs"

Just found a live tape of Richard at Wigan the month before this article which I'm now transferring to the PC.

Issue is extremely rare, only know of one.
