The Temptations were 60 this year and I've just come across this 3 part youtube documentary series they did about the group. Part 1

Why does it take a modern day remix to get folk interested in a track from 1978? or even 2012 on the Jap CD? Anyway it has sold out on their site, Fish has copies at First experience for £18 and copies on ebay for £20, leave the greedy barstewards on discogs alone.

Pretty sure Dave Thorley did a couple of nights, think he said he sat in for Richard when he was on holiday?

I thank all he covers are pretty popular with pop markets and probably why he went for the better known, don’t think he could have picked much whiter “soul” music really in the majority of his choices? Have to agree with what baffles you, constantly puzzles me too when people on the scene are amazed when Frank Wilson is mentioned in any capacity away from the scene. It is a pop record and definitely not rare given the amount of releases it has had on various formats.

I don’t know but very possibly as he worked quite extensively as a session musician LA where he lived.

a brit as well…. https://www.adampwhite.com/westgrandblog/2018/7/13/frank-assessment-anew and probably a second session to complete it with some of the wrecking crew https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjs1LK99L76AhV7QEEAHXx5AqcQFnoECBEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soul-source.co.uk%2Farticles%2Fsoul-articles%2Ffrank-wilson-the-story-of-do-i-love-you-indeed-i-do-r2565%2F&usg=AOvVaw0XPAQu_VfsFcLGgVE5squS

Not sure why I said Chris tbh, know they aren’t the same, it was 3.30 at the time having just up

Well its not really soul music is it. Just cause they are played on the scene doesn’t make them soul either.

I did read she is a sister in law or something like that, I only read it a day or two ago but can’t find where now 🙄 There is a recording of Notts Palais on the tube with Sam playing it, 1978 if memory serves. It could have only been a brief spin as it remained relatively unknown. Still a pretty rare record and probably suffered because of that.

It’s Barry Despenza’s label or he is heavily involved, his music publishing etc

No

Guy’s Monsters ‘87

Yes it is Paulette Despenza

Still original, probably from same master so still a first issue.

7” black vinyl with picture sleeve is the first press

Delta number gives it as a 1966 press at Monarch between March and April.

Superb double sider, the flip just edging it for me.
