as the original post was asking for books on the history of the music here's three off the shelf, again sorry if they've been mentioned... Souled America..... https://www.amazon.com/Souled-American-Black-Transformed-Culture/dp/0823084043 California Soul... https://www.amazon.com/California-Soul-African-Americans-Diaspora/dp/0520206282/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261737795&sr=1-1 and Savage Lost by Jeff Lemlich which is essentially about Florida Garage Bands from the 60's and Beyond but has plenty of Sou/R&B!! https://www.limestonerecords.com/website/author/author.htm Happy reading

one of the various photos of the Funk Brothers in the Motown Album, again sorry about quality of scan..... Top....Jamerson, Hunter, Cosby, Front...Benny benjamin, Larry Veeder and Mike Terry!!! Not a bad band eh

You (Sorry Diane) won't regret buying the book, some fabulous photos,particularly of the Temptations, Marvin etc. Here's a taster.....sorry bout quality but scanner is awkward to get to, will attempt a better one later Contours on stage....

Not sure if these have been mentioned but for old photos, scans of sleeves and info you can't go wrong.... Heart and Soul, A Celebration of Black Music Style In America 1930-1975 by Bob Merlis/David Seay https://search.barnesandnoble.com/Heart-and-Soul/Bob-Merlis/e/9781556705380 and Rubin MolinasOld Barrio Guide To Low Rider Music 1950-1975 https://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=hbym7cmp9h out of stock above but do a search and you might find one.

Merry Christmas to you too mate. Kerry having a little nap right now so feeding myself mince pies Look forward to the review. I might get the Motown Album out and scan a few. The prices quoted on the link are a steal IMO for such a quality book. Disappointed as the fourth volume of the R&B Indies hasn't arrived yet!!!

Hi, yes I did look at the pictures. I can't read French but I might invest in one though. The Motown Album I have can be seen HERE cheap at the price offered for the quality of some of the photos. I paid a fiver form a book shop in Bakewell for mine, was a US import that should have been $65!

yes but the gouge is barely audible in places surprised he didn't add the suitable for DJing that some sellers use for discs that are sh*gged!!! Still, someone prepared to take a chance on it

I already have the Motown Album, its basically book full of photos, fabulous they are too so dunno if it would be worth forking out for something similar.

Agree with Callum, he did a great spot when I heard him at Move On.

what is the text? English or French?

Think much of the released stuff was aimed at a more MOR/pop market whereas the unreleased stuff IMO leans more towards the R&B/Black Music market and was maybe limited in sales?

I hope everyone has a Great Christmas, you get everything you want and everyone has a fabulous 2010.

We discussed this once and it was revealed that Gladys is Gaye Jamison. There are also credits on the Love release to a Gladys Patrick.

think the last one I know sold (and not auctioned) was around £1500.

at a guess not a lot now. had many of these unreleased gems long before Motown actually put them out on cd comps, as have others.

Sorry mate, been away with work all week. Which show was this, Deans? is there a listen again facility yet?

It's on the Anthology Cd from Motown of the Isley's. Cracking dancer. Sure Is A Lotta Woman.

Hi Cliff, I've probably heard it then will make a point of listening out for it next time I hear Kitch out

I'll look the Doo Wop one up David

You'll probably find it's in refosoul too or at least a studio take! I've seen Reg Bartlett posting lately, was there definitely one in the collection he sold?

ey up you two, hope you are well. Didn't Rob have a box load of the Blue Jays?

Butch's Mill Edwards acetate of Just Like The Weather!!

Listening to the Passion Interview Bob did for his Sitting In The PArk show and one of the members of the Passions is Roosevelt Christmas

where's the full clip? Like Dave says, cracking tune!!

must be thinking of something else Ady, I'll see if I can find the tape.
