here's one I just found BIO Mr.Tyrone Thomas At the tender age of 10, he was known as Lil Tommy. He and Major Harris of "Love Won't Let Me Wait" fame, put together their first quartet, called the "Teenagers" They open for several major league recording artist, such as Sam Cooke, Mary Wells, Fat's Domino, and blues legend Jimmy Reid. The Teenagers stay together for several years. The Teenagers went on to perform and win Amateur Night at the Apollo in the late 60's. Tyrone began to hone his skill as a drummer. Later putting together a band called "Nobody's Children". In the early 70's they became Patti Labelle and the Bluebells back up band. Again touring and opening shows for artist such as Tyrone Davis, Kool and the Gang, The Delfonics, and The Moments, to name a few "Nobody's Childern continue to be Patti Labelle's back up band. They were performing at Lord Price's Turntable, when Patti Labelle was suddenly stricken with a serious throat illness. Thus ending the career of "NOBODY'S CHILDREN". Tyrone's career as a drummer continued, he performed with blues legend Swapp Dogg, Doris Duke, Charlie Whitehead, Freddy Scott and Smoking Joe Frazier. After being on the road for several years, Tyrone then return home to Richmond, VA. Putting his master plan in effect where he went on to create the self contained group "THE WHOLE DARN FAMILY" and wrote "SEVEN MINUTES OF FUNK" one of the most sample songs by various Hip Hop artist today. "SEVEN MINUTES OF FUNK", has been sample by JAY-Z & FOXXY BROWN, FAITH EVANS & JA RULE, EPMD, RED MAN, KEITH MURRY, ERIC SERMON, Q-TIP, WU TANG, THE ALCOHOLICS, GRAVE DIGGERS, WYCLEF JEAN, LIL BOW WOW and most recently BAD BOYS ll Soundtrack. This Richmond,Va. native now resides in the Big Apple where he continues to write, arrange and produce. Pioneer, entrepreneur, visionary, producer and composer. In his catalog he has amassed over 200 songs. Adult Contemporary combined with undeniable funk, soulful song writing skill of R&B, Jazz and Hip Hop make up his unique sound. He now owns Indie label "BUTAH BEAT RECORDS", "MO BUTAH PRODUCTIONS and "ALLTHOMS MUSIC, BMI.

Positive, I've posted a biography off the net at least twice on Soul Source.

if youi go to the oficial mastermind page there's a quiz to test your knowledge https://www.bbc.co.uk/apps/ifl/entertainmen...ges;pagerData=1

no, the other Mercury acetate is also Treat Myself To A New love, a different take tho'...off top of my head it's a different lead singer.

Is this on one of those cd's you compiled Mark. Gotta agree great record.

thought both had been put out at some point

Thought so.

wasn't the Eddie Holman version booted too????

oh yes he did....... oh no he didn't.... oh yes he did..... well it is the pantomine season

Its Tony Galla - In Love Mel, misspressed label.

yep and Funny Situation on the other release.

don't think it was booted either but it came out two or three times on the label, different flip and coiuple of label designs, Black Pearl, curved and straight.

one on JM's for £75

ignore me, it was Gary Dean he had for sale.

I'm sure Paul Donnelly had a Gary Sole for sale while back, dunno if he sold it.

anyone got a list of whats in the 500?

don't doubt your word at all. Dunno why you think I wouldn't want a played out oldie, love my oldies, played out or not as much upfront stuff but just prefer not to hear them at a venue every week.

1, Like I said the topic is about a book, it's now anything but a discussion about a book. 2. Just a general statement not aimed at anyone in particular.

yes but are you going to vilify and name all the other dealers of the so called nostalgic tat like you have Kev, just to make it a balanced debate? Maybe you should start a new topic for this? Name all the scene exploiters, all in the name of fairness if you've evidence of illegal trading then report it to the relevant authorities, somehow I don't think you will do any of this. Also I don't condone anyone who sells boots, I'd like to see nothing more than the artists in question getting what they should. The topic is about a book and it quickly turned into something totally different. Funny how brave sitting at a computer makes people.

forgive me,I may have missed it when reading through but what are your experiences of being ripped off by Kev? and what are the bootlegs being sold by Kev? Just so I don't slip up and buy one by mistake

I'm not defending Kev or sticking up for him (and I don't agree with everything he does) but this topic has been anything but about sharing opinions views and experiences. It's been a witch hunt by quite a few of you and some of the comments are out of the gutter IMO. It was originally about the launch of a book and soon turned into a witch hunt and an excuse for some of you to launch a personal attack on someone over something that is nothing to do with most of you. Kirsty is the only one as far as I can see who has a problem and you lot attacking Kev on a public forum is hardly going to help matters IMO. If the problem can't be sorted via e-mail etc then shouldn't Kirsty go through other channels to get this sorted...in private!! The event organisation you talk about is history and has been discussed on here before so why should this be brought into a debate about a book? as for exploitation does Goldsoul force people to part with their money? are all the others selling badges, pictures, birthday cards and other nostalgic tat at events exploiting innocent souilies. are they going to be vilified on here too just to show that this isn't a witch hunt against one person/company and you treat everyone the same?

There's another Mercury acetate as well Tony, different take. Sure I've read or was told that this Inspirations group never released anything.

Cheers Pete, don't chuck owt away, I hoard all sorts here love to read old mags and books I don't have. Sure you could flog them on here.

30 or 40 quid, might be cheaper of evil bay. Old spin from early mid 80s for Keb (I think)???
