Craig Charles neither is nor ever has been part of any scene you or I have been involved with. He has no real idea what happens. I’ve seen him at his normal gigs, hevturns up and then buggers off when he’s done his bit. -
Why didn’t they interview Richard or one of many others who are and have been involved with the scene. WTF does Craig Charles know? He’s never been on the scene.

Been some arguments over this over the years but boot, believed to be a fake "H" (RCA Hollywood Plant)

Pre-order: Soul Junction's Latest Release Jesse James with Everybody's Talking At Me View full article

Press Release: Jesse James “Everybody’s Talking At Me/Your More Than A Friend Of Mine” SJ552 Release Date: Wednesday August 30TH 2023 Jesse James returns to the Soul Junction roster with a new 45 that features his own unique interpretation of a classic song that is backed with one of the more popular songs from his 1990 “Looking Back” album now brought to you for the first time as a 45 release. Beginning with the A-side, “Everybody’s Talking At Me” which is Jesse’s unique cover of the folk rock singer Fred Neil’s penned song “Everybody’s Talkin’”. Which although recorded by Neil originally, was made internationally famous by Harry Nilsson when used as part of the theme score for the acclaimed United Artists 1969 film “Midnight Cowboy”. The song has been much covered in the style of a ballad but Jesse’s version recorded under the production skills of close friend Willie Hoskins (Wilhos Productions and Boola Boola Records) is a great up-tempo piano driven version of the song. “Everybody’s Talking At Me” is yet another find from the unissued tapes from the self- financed sessions that Jesse recorded at the Searra Sound Studios in Berkley C.A during 1971 that also has brought us SJ543 “(The Girl In) Clinton Park” and SJ544 “If A Man Ever Loved A Woman (Baby I Love You)”. While the b-side, features the much, admired modern soul favourite “You’re More Than A Friend Of Mine” which first gained a release on the 1990 ‘Looking Back’ album (Gunsmoke Records). “You’re More Than A Friend Of Mine” was up to that point a previously unissued mid 70’s recording produced by the late song writer /producer Ron Carson. Carson the original owner of the San Francisco Soul Clock Records label remains highly respected for his work with the hit group, ‘The Whispers’ (both on Soul Clock and some of their later Janus recordings). Carson had produced and co-wrote Jesse’s 1975, 20th Century Records release “If You Want A Love Affair/I Never Meant To Love Her” now regarded worldwide as Jesse’s signature song. Carson had a follow up release in the can, which never came to fruition due to Jesse and 20th Century parting company for the second time. Carson by then had moved on and was heavily involved in the production of the Janus distributed blackploitation album “Black Fist” for Happy Fox records. “Black Fist” was a various artists compilation which also featured the Jesse James composition “The Same Thing Happens (Part1 & 2)”. The shelved, proposed 20th Century follow up release would have been “Your More Than A Friend of Mine/I Don’t Want It To End” recorded during 1976. Carson had pitched the idea of a song in a similar vein to the Jackson Sisters 1973 Prophesy Records release “(Why Can’t We Be) More Than Friends” to the songs original songwriting team William Peele Jr and Warren Sams. They duly obliged, coming up with the aforementioned “Your More Than A Friend Of Mine”. Warren Sams along with his half-sister Christine Adams Tripp and their friend Rachel Sanders were none other than the respected vocal trio “Water & Power” who recorded the acclaimed 1975 album of the same name for Fantasy Records and a solitary 45 “Mr Weatherman/If You Don’t Want Me”.

E. Williams has been big here since the mid 80s.
-
If memory serves he is from West Midlands, Walsall and still lives around there according to Facebook on which he is a friend.

There is one Okeh 45 with a small 45 that is real, Major Lance...I always seem to forget the title.

No guest this week but the quality doesn't let up....

Well I'm not so sure Carolyn Sullivan is Martha Starr listening to them Martha deos exists, Ady plays it off a vinyl 45. Cresa doesn't except on the budget Lp. After listening to Carolyn Sullivan and Martha Starr I not so sure they are the same person either.

My bad, I was referring to the comment from davidwapples

😂 It’s always rare when you are selling something.
-
It was about rarity long before OVO was a thing
-
Its from around 1990
-
It’s you taking it way off topic again.
-
The Professionals only had the one track so a Steve Mancha track was used in the flip. That’s from Calloway himself as well. I thought this was well known?
-
Not sure what Ray Avery has to do with it either, as you say he wasn’t selling rare soul

Not sure what this has to do with rarity
-
No presumption about it, it is Mancha.

Carstairs is a truly crazy price. The market is fcuked, i don’t care how much it is hyped, how worldwide it is, £150 just a few years ago, £300 just a couple of months ago. To quadruple in a matter of months just shows the lack of common sense in some buyers.
-
I didn’t say that but It wasn’t known as Northern Soul then. But it wasn’t the northern scene it would become a few years later with plenty of brit pop R&B and mod in the mix. I have read many accounts of the arguments about the musical direction back then.

Bugger….working 🤨
-
I would also say from accounts I’ve read the mid 60s wasn’t the Northern scene either. The split you read aboutcoming later in the 60s. Pretty obvious that any burgeoning scene the main focus wouldn’t be the DJs the records the collecting, rather just going out and having a good time in one’s youth. I doubt any in the mid 60s thought what they were doing would grow into the monster it would in the 70s.
-
There are also written accounts of the disputes between traditional wheel goers, those who preferred the more mod, Brit R&B, club soul etc and those moving towards the more northern sounds and imports.
