anyway it's Steve Mancha on vocals not Edwin Starr ior are we on about different record? I'll go back and read again

maybe a touch more off a list and between 50 and 100 extra for Knox at one time, maybe bit more.

even though no soul in them instrumentals still have place on the scene IMHO. Not everyone's cup of tea I know but tracks like Davis & Tyler - Hold On Help Is On The Way, Sidras Theme, Chaumonts still sound good today.

Not what I heard or read,that is three of them recorded the vocals, Edwin, Steve Mancha and another whose name escapes me and chose one from the three.....

you do listen to some shite funny thing is not even in the same city let alone town. I'm not gonna name anyone, I was just asking what others thought of the senario. Promoter one will hang himself eventually.

copyright is 50 years over here, 90 years I think in the states, only 25 years I think in Holland.

Kae Williams also responsible for the unissued "Our Love Is Dying" which is currently doing big things on the nighter scene

The following scenario..... Promoters one and two promote a venue on the same night, one an all-nighter and the other a soul night. Promoter one threatens to "bury" promoter two for having the audacity to promote on the same night. Promoter two is HIGHLY respected throughout the soul world and has been for many years :angry: To muddy the waters a tad more, promoter one and promoter two both book the same highly respected DJ of many years standing. DJ says, wishing to upset no one and ensure everyone is happy,no problem, will do one and travel to the other after his set. Promoter one not happy threatens to finish said DJ :angry: Personally I don't know what the scene is coming to, some promoters just not happy with what they have and want it all and will do what it takes to achieve this. IMHO there's no place for this kind of behaviour. Don''t know what fellow soul sourcerers thoughts are

Kae Williams did have his own web page somewhere, I'll see if I can still find it.

DoYou mind/Little Chick-A-Dee - Class Bells Of St MAry/Thats Alright - 3 Trey both cheapies and preferably in Ex/M- condition

good advice. the books written about the scene are just from one persons perspective and not necessarily how others saw it. Chicago Soul is one of the finest books ever written IMHO, good choice again.

yet another sad loss R.I.P.

doubt it i'll let you know later today when I get home

I've just managed to get hold of a copy of LA R&B Vocal groups by Steve Propes and Galen Gart. Fab read but it's out of print. I managed to get a copy from Dead Dog records in the states, think it was the last one but maybe worth a try.

Someone else has a copy too but who I'm struggling to remember so early in the morning Hope your coming to the weekender Phil in Feb? You'll hear it there

I'd agree with that Pete, see just as many these days with mis spelt. There's one I think on Soul Bowls list this week, or was it Ian Clarks

The story I was told was that Rock Candy had the one side only and nothing for the flip so "Alone With No Love" was stuck on the flip and name changed from Contemplations to Rock Candy.

the boots the same or with a yellow label, thiough yoiu can tell by the print quality the boot from the original. The original has the titles scratched in the run out groove too.

aye seller done nowt wrong. If you were selling one at a nighter, clearly marked as a boot, and someone gave you £150, would you give him £120 back

best of luck with the new venue Ady.

if the buyer has read the description he should know full well it's a re-issue/boot. As already said you can't knock the seller in this case, he's been totally upfront. Why should he have to explain it all again just cause someone got more money than brains

Such a shame, one place I never managed to DJ at but as a punter had many a great night down there, especially during the 80's when the place really rocked as a soul club. The heat used to hit you as you hit the bottom step and then you had to dodge Ozzie who would be trying to trip you as you wiped the sweat away
