IMO some of the stuff the "oldies" crowd as you name them accept are catchier and more instant (instantly forgettable as well as quickly gets boring) than some of the more soulful newies.

your right it could have been worse

your being nostalgic...terrible IMO, sorry Ken

It's on Nation goes for around £1500. Butch first played mid 80's cover up as Magic Tones - A Lovers Plea. Sure there is a sound file in Sounds. If not I'll sort one out later. Mick H got a copy few others too. Used to hear it pretty often not so long ago.....not so much lately.

collectors item 100 pressed...probably not had time to burn anymore yet

I see (or read) opinions expressed on here but don't really see anyone telling others what to do, listen to or wear just who has there heads up there arse

forgot to mention it was LP It is on an Ace cd too The heart of Southern Soul Volume 3.

Don't think so

well I can't think what it is so basically no

Flip the Stu Gardner...Expressin My Love. One I've been spinning.

Think there was only something like 90 copies pressed Ady will probably confirm or Johnny One Trout

this looks very familiar, certainly last two lines but can't think what....and it's bugging me

quick surf and found this.... The Admirations consisted of brothers Kenneth, Bruce and Ralp Childs and two unknown members remembered only as Myles and Smith. Lead singer Kenneth Childs sang in a mournful tenor similar to the Five Stairsteps' Clarence Burke Jr., but not nearly as exciting. Ex-Players Tommie Johnson and Herbert Butler managed the North Side Chicago natives, who debuted with "My Admiration for You" b/w "Heaven in Your Arms" on Paree Records in 1966. Neither Paree nor the Admirations reaped any benefits from the association, so the group sauntered to Peaches Records for one release, "You Left Me"; it received a modicum of airplay locally, better than previous releases, but not enough to keep Peaches afloat. Label-jumping once more, this time to George Leaner's One-der-ful Records, they enjoyed their most popular record, "Wait Until I Get to Know You," which surpassed "You Left Me." Released late in 1967, it got the fellows some better gigs around town, but never broke regionally. A final One-der-ful release issued in 1968, "Don't Leave Me" b/w "All for You," stiffed. It all ended when One-der-ful folded later in 1968; some of their artists signed with George Leaner's brother Ernie's Toddlin' Town Records, but the Admirations, needing more stability, drifted from the business without even as much as eyeballing a royalty check.

I would say the Aspirations. The flip I Want To Be Free is as good if not better. The Smith is Walter Smith who left to form Walter & The Admerations (Man Oh Man on La Cindy).

Still pretty rare even if it is on a major label.

not sure but think Richard might still have it Keb. Played at Wigan too.

sure the last one went for summat like 2k

June probably a nickname...sure I've read something about him somewhere The Bootlegers was arranged and conducted by him as were I'm pretty sure the Musette 45.

Sure I've seen the name in production/arranger credits too, can't think what right now. Flip side to the Bootleggers on Discovery credited to June Jackson.

bloke

Stamps...christmas cards We're blokles Mark we've a good excuse not to buy stamps and cards Have a great Christmas & New Year mate and the same to everyone on Soul Source and anyone who knows me...or come to that doesn't know me Here's to a Soulful and Prosperous 2006

Gene McDaniels did a version on Liberty

Yep I know it but this was an old cover up of Gary Spencers but he had it covered as Robbie Little. This is gonna bug me till either I remember who it is or someone tells us

straight to the point lad no use beating round the bush as me gran used to say Then accept my apologies But as only Pete Smith and myself mentioned anything to do with a price/value I assumed you was referring to me
