Topic closed but do not despair, part two is under way

would a volume two stop repeat postings? I can't see how it would? Only if you knew what was posted in each topic would you stop repeat postings. I agree it might want a new topic 30 pages a lot to go through in one topic. I can open one on Dave's behalf?

I heard as I said in an earlier post that it was released without his knowledge.

Ok I'm showing my age The chorus kills it dead for me, really spoils it....I remember it from the Dome too but it was around long before then. Still think it was just a case of Dj's slowly running out of ideas for something fresh, every tune has its day eventually.

The reason it didn't take off in the mid 80's is because this is rubbish compared to some of the stuff that was being discovered back then. As stuff started to dry up this was bound to have its day. Agree with you the chorus just kills it.

When was this first played on the scene?

Please share them Kev, no reason for anyone to begin slagging anyone on this topic, it is a fascinating read. If it is kept to Simon and the stories and myths surrounding him then no reason for any slagging off of anyone. I've enjoyed reading the stories from all those who knew him.

No but if it is was it would be a bloody expensive one. Think the reason for the boot myth is Ray Agee told someone it was released without his knowledge, just like many records back in the day, Don Gardner - Cheatin Kind another.

Unless he had two he sold that one on ebay.....

I can't even remember the record Richard. I'll have a dig round see if I can find a listen anywhere. Apparently the recording studio (on M-S228) is/was under the Pampa Lanes Bowling Alley, Van Dyke in Warren, Jim Bruzzese was the owner.

There was rumour of a garage/lock up full of them which no one could get into, probably one of the scenes urban myths. I was also told a story by someone back in the 80's or early 90's that they saw paperwork showing the numbers sold/pressed or other such info and it went into 5 figures. Again might be one of those urban myths. If Cecil is reading this maybe he can shed some light on how it sold or how many pressed.

I keep meaning to play this out a bit more. Great discovery of recent years.

It was when he told Soul Source the year he became a full time Pastor....

thought so....

You need to get the tapes transferred to digital. We need to hear them. There are some on here who might be interested in getting them out either on CD or vinyl.

Sounds to me like he just repeats "I Can't Stay Away" but with more emphasis on the "Can't"? Doesn't sound like he's swearing to me, certainly doesn't sound like what Aid suggests.

is that the acetate version though? I know it has a scan of the acetate in the clip?

Ion has sold it, I know who has it now.

Apart form Carl Spelbring (George Soul) on piano can you remember any of the other musicians on "You Need Help"?

Total Eclipse "You Took Your Heart" on Right On was a pink label but it has "A Love Like Yours" on the flip

It might be on a 45 or local release, if it is I wouldn't mind knowing too, this is all the info I know.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing all this information with us and nice to have you on Soul Source. What other stories do you have about your days back then, we are always fascinated by the stories from back then.

Imperial LP. Booted as Supertime Golden World Strings

Could be can't really remember who found it and it'a been years since I heard it.

Paul Williams, so underrated, Ruffin and Kendricks all too often got all the plaudits... https://youtu.be/27nfFYUZAM8
