Don't know why, I know I'm on a mac but I know windows users who have read it. Try googling Tony Colton — A Forgotten and an Important Sixties Figure

There is very little that has stood the test of time though? Much of it is played to a small minority shouting louder than the others. Some of it, the gospel especially is so far removed from what people are used to it will always stay with the minority. I'm not saying there isn't any good to come out of it, far from, some great stuff but very little crosses over mainstream.

It isn't just those on ebay etc who are guilty of over doing the promotion side, some of those who predominantly play/feature this funk/fonk or whatever you wish to call it in their sets, are just as guilty of over doing the promotion when selling and even describing what they are playing. I listened to one yesterday and vocally it was terrible, the description certainly didn't match the quality.

Alan Walls passed on this great read about Tony last week..... https://www.zani.co.uk/music/185-tony-colton-a-forgotten-and-an-important-sixtie

Which issue is it Bri? I will see if I have it and upload for you.

Forget what I said Pete, reading the wrong info elsewhere.

The uptempo side had spins some years ago, Dome?

Bloody hell not another genre.....

Ey up Bri... I will drop him a message when I get chance. Thorne spin for Rod would make it around 91? Might be where Rob got it from?

It wasn't but Kev says they had the tapes? The acetate was around long before the sevens, Rob Marriott was playing it very late 80's early 90's, dunno where he got it from.

Pretty sure there was a newspaper clipping posted at one time from when the 45 was released or about mr soul gigging?

Magic isn't it. I posted it a while a go after seeing it somewhere. Keep meaning to download it before it gets lost.

Just read on the Classic Urban Harmony site that Little Joe Cook passed away in April. Little Joe Cook of the Thrillers (1922 - 2014) Little Joe Cook, known for his falsetto hits like "Peanuts" with the Philadelphia vocal group the Thrillers, died on April 16, 2014. Cook was born in South Philly but moved to North Philly as a youngster where he formed the gospel group, the Evening Star Quartet. The group recorded several outstanding songs including "Say A Prayer For The Boys In Korea". By the mid-1950's Little Joe had moved into secular music, forming and mentoring the group, the Thrillers, with whom he ended up singing lead. They scored with the song "Peanuts" which propelled Cook to fame. Joe Cook continued singing for the remainder of his life, mostly in the Boston area. He made countless recordings for different labels. For the story of Joe Cook and the Thrillers early career, visit www.classicurbanharmony.net and scroll down the left hand side to click on "Groups From Philly's Francisville" under Articles By Us. Listen to a YouTube of "Peanuts".

He is on here Steve G

Is the Sevens "release"better quality than the Joanne boot?

Swan flight are great, will make to what ever size and stule you want as well. I now have magma bags though, lighter and easier to carry.

I don't think we know who it is singing, uncredited acetate and as said found in Maxx Kidd's basement by Andy Rix. Andy might be able to tell us more.

I'm not 100% Phil but I think there may have been an original acetate and that being the only source. I know Rob Marriott was the one who made it a biggie, not sure who he got it from.

The Bridges one is a far more laid back jazzy feel to it, not the hard edged stomper the other one is.

No it isn't, same record yes but totally different take of it, no where near as good.
