Press Release: August Heat You And Me/Hooked On You SJ524 Release Date: Monday September 9th 2013 The August Heat Band, hail from the small town of Bristol near Opelousas, in the state of Louisiana. The main core of the August Heat band consist of the gospel trained lead soprano vocalist Eltonez Salton otherwise affectionately known as “Cookie”. Veteran lead guitarist, background vocalist, and the August Heat album project producer, John Kent Pierre-Auguste. Who more frequently uses the abbreviated name of Kent August. Along with bass guitarist Ronny Sonnier, drummer Michael “Joe Monk” Caesar and keyboardist Tony Lea. On the “Closer” album project additional keyboard parts were provided by local musician and studio engineer Michael Lockett. Who also recorded and mixed the entire album at his Lockdown studio in Lafayette, La. The “Closer” album project began in 2010 and was a further two years in the making. It is from this excellent album that we at Soul Junction have taken the delightful mid-tempo offering “You And Me” backed with the more up-tempo dancer “Hooked On You” for our next 45 release.

It had some plays backin the 80's. I wonder if Columbia released it anywhere else or was it just Canada?

Project? By that you mean bootlegging?

Pretty sure there is/are Russian member or members of this site?

It is as Byrney says an unissued uncredited Karen or Carla recording believed to be Sharon McMahan. I've sent her an email to see if she knows anything about it.

Spot on Phil.

Argentinian releases been on ebay in the past, saw it about ten years ago for the first time.

Wednesday? Happy birthday btw...sure I've told you already mind

Punters decide a venues fate, its success or failure but they don't necessarily decide its direction, not initially. They might influence the direction if the promoter is influenced by such but if a promoter knows what he or she wants then that will have a bearing on the type of crowd they attract. If a set is well thought out with imagination with the right mix of lesser known or underplayed and oldies then there is no reason why any venue can't succeed.

More Stafford memories of Pat brady with a fourth podcast deicated to pPat's spins.

I've advocated this for a long time but I doubt promoters would take it up as ten quid is ten quid, p*ss head or not. Russ mentioned tickets. They will never work. Have run ticket only in the past or both ticket and pay on the door and the uptake of tickets was practically non existent. Whether it is because people don't want to buy in case of last minute postponement? Don't have the money to spend ahead or what I don't know.

A want here Tim....

Just reading the Bobby Womack biography Midnight Mover, excellent read with some cracking stories, some sad some funny.

One reason I'd like to see memberships return.

Ey up pal. My post isn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. It's just my opinion of where the policy of the night should come from. Obviously the paying punter will decide a venues fate. Nothing wrong with attending an oldies night

The direction should come from the promoter and then the DJ's he, she or they hire. If they wish to get away from the classics then they should stipulate that on the advertising and instruct the DJ's indication exactly the direction you want them to go without going so far as to tell them what to play, in other words use some imagination. Of course it would be foolish to go down a completely underplayed lesser known set so some good quality oldies should be in the mix. Start of with a small venue and move up as the interest hopefully grows. I don't see the point in anyone wishing to promote another oldies night, the scene is at saturation point now venue wise as it is so no point watering it down.

Tat and not about the music but fashion.

Thanks Steve and I would love to hear the live tapes

Hopefully get o listen tomorrow now I have Bluetooth iPod. If not will download over the weekend. Top class and highly recommended are Steve's podcasts.

I remember him playing the Hyperions (Escorts cover up) three times at the 100 Club. He said "I'm gonna keep playing this till you fookin dance".

It's only the wilderness years to them that thought Northern Soul died when the casino shut. I've still loads of tracks and a few more DJ's to cover yet, George Sharp. Jimmy Wensiora, Chris Plant, Butch, more Keb, Guy and Dave Thorley as well.

Thanks guys for the comments and feedback, always appreciated. I'm just about finished with Pat's fourth, podcast 39 believe it or not. I though I would struggle to get a dozen or so done.

The writer(s) will still get royalties and Bear Family will have to set something aside incase they come forward if they couldn't be found as I understand it?
