Eugene Davis the labels owner Richard. Think Dave Thorley asked around Detroit about Crow/Flaming Arrow, he might have some other info?

I would have said about £800 but that seems a bit off the mark looking at the two auction prices. However auctions not really a true representation of the actual value most of the time and I've seen it for sale around the £800 mark a few times. Don't see it very often and see no reason for it to come down in value. Neither is this an unknown, been around years and had plays over the years.

Bobby Womack book is Midnight Lover.

Two interesting ones....

Considering what he had done and achieved in the business I was some what disappointed with Jack Ashfords book. For a start I was expecting a book with at least twice as many pages.

Good unissued Motown has been introduced to the scene for 30 years. Folk have been going through the vaults for years. Motown missed the boat big style with these packages, most of good stuff was already out there. There's still good stuff that hasn't been officially released on cd yet.

Pretty sure the acetate to 6x6 got an airing at the 100 Club once upon a time. It does exist but would appear to be a waste of time trying to convince you Tony. As for unissued Motown, there's plenty that can't be found it would appear, alternate takes of Suspicion is one for a start, one which even those who have been through the vaults haven't come across, think there is at least two takes not in the public domain....or widely at least. Now I would buy that cd comp. I still maintain that the latest offering, as good as the artists may be is only average. Some of the tracks are pleasant enough, a few are good but by and large it is an average compilation...IMHO of course. I will of course give it another listen just to confirm my beliefs. On the evidence of what I heard the other week I can wait another three years for the next one.

Hi Jordi, verses not too bad but the intro and the chorus just so messy and spoil the record for me.

The Phyliss Hyman biography is a good read. When I get on the PC I'll throw a couple of links up for some others.

doesn't do a lot for me this record. The intro is especially off putting.

Some more tapes converted this weekend. These are 3 of 5 tapes from the Chapel All-nighter in Rotherham. 6th June 1992 at the Chapel in Masborough. Ray Hudson and Snowy the promoters. The Travellers rest would be the warm up soul night, I was a resident there. From what I remember it was a pretty decent venue although it had seen better days. Can remember the plod coming in for a walk round. I have lost the first two tapes so if anyone has copies can I have a copy please Probably one of those with me on I've 6 sound-files altogether about 45 minutes a piece except the last which is about 30 minutes.

thanks Paul

carl carlton - nothin no sweater - golden world carl carlton - i can feel it - backbeat carl carlton - so what - lando

It made me smile and though it some of you might appreciate a listen. Music wasn't great was it. Does anyone know the date for this?

Converting some tapes to the PC and came across this one. It is John Green according to the jingle talking to Richard Searling. Sounds like it is in the midst of the Wigan vs. Mecca argument......

Try searching the forum Richard, pretty sure we have discussed it before.

There's others including at least one DJ that I know of with a copy. There's a copy in Germany, got his for a dollar I think? Jorg Brenner I think who has it or had it, Marc Forrest will confirm who.

Here you go Mick, should be the right way round....open the scan in a photo editing program and there should be in image or tools an option to rotate the image. If not just post them up or e-mail me and I'll sort for you.

Cheers Simon, wish I'd seen the auction. Bargain price

appreciated Paul

There's countless bits of info out there, info that doesn't necessarily warrant a topic of its own but simply takes up a sentence. Bits like this one from Arkwright... c'mon let's see what other amazing mind-boggling snippets of info there is

the credit card style membership card....

thanks for that, what is the address (sorry to be a pain ). Shame about the skip, that's the side that's played. Know of a couple of copies over here, one in Germany. Probably others we don't know about.

Larry Bright the other artist on Tide found a scan on popsike of another Larry Bright release...

Thought it was same artist but under different name? anyone got soundfile (& scan)?
