What colour is the label?? My eyes must be suffering after the weekender still :-)))

Don't think it ever came out on single, anyone confirm. It's dated on the Kent Chuck Jackson cd as 1986 but doesn't indicate that it was unissued at the time of release so guessing it came out on a Kent lp first. Could be wrong, sure someone will confirm one way or the other.

The Contemplations was brought up on another forum after Marco played it out at the Lifeline rare soul event of the year ;-) At the time of discussion John Manship had one on his website at £500. Rock Candy just been sold for $271 (approx £150) on ebay, think it was the easier blue label too but not 100%, crazy!!

The Artistic with Ted Taylor on the flip, purple vinyl too has just sold for £88 on ebay ($162.50), Manship rates it £80. £85 for normal release. Bobby Adams £20/£30.

Live acts were great, especially Melvin Davis. The sound was poor at times though, could hardly hear Cody Black or Baby Washington at times. Phil Perry's voice is just awesome!!! Music wise, Friday night, why two oldies rooms ;-) Saturday after acts some great stuff played by the likes of Butch, Andy D and Kitch. Best night was Sunday in the Queen Vic. Didn't hear Tim but Carl Willingham, Kitch and Mick H played some cracking records but thought Andy Dyson set was just superb though.

Ok Grant cheers. Det Rhythm Section old Guy spin at Stafford. David Flynn played it at the weekend.

Sent off list Grant, cheers. Few intsrumentals over the weekend at Prestatyn. Two that stand out Detroit Rhythm Section - Backstreet and Butch's instrumental to Walter Wilson on Wand I think.

doesn't it again live in that part of the country...Norwich?

Very interesting in deed!!! Can only agree with Grant and Brian, internet a great source for on the spot info and a place to talk b*******!!! :-))) Still like to buy the fanzines and not everyone embraces technology so still a great source for useful info. Also fanzines deffo better reading material when on the throne (unless you happen to have PC there too) :-))))

Oops forgot to log in Chalky

Hi Grant, I know you wasn't have a pop so don't worry :-) Yarmouth, now they were good weekenders!!!! Great venue and some great artists, still got most of the flyers etc. Totally shite with lyrics so not much help there to you, sorry ;-) Will try and sort summat with the instrumentals for you.

Testing... Eddie and Jimmy Burns

In admit there is some shit played Grant, always has been always will be. I admit I don't want to hear the likes of Frank Wilson at all wjhen I go out. Heard it enough over the last 20 years. I do agree there is some great forgotten oldies and some great cheap stuff beggin to be played. Butch is my fave too, always has been and me too haven't liked everything he's played. He did play an instrumental a while back but can't for the life of me think what it was. Not heard him play the Jean Wells instrumental either in a while. Think the Soul-Ins instrumental needs playing too (and this from someone who doesn't like them). The Soul Ins is the backing to Katie Briggs "Last Time Around". Not an oout and out dancer in the like chaumonts and Frank Foster but it did create quite a stir at Sheridans. Andy Dyson just picked an unknown instrumental up too, again forget what it's called, will get the details next time I'm there. As forr "Up North" spend most of my time down South as thats where my girlfriend lives, I only come home in the week.

I did hear or read somewhere they were claiming they are legit and they did obtained the rights but I though Tim B owned the rights. I know Andy Dyson was telling me that when Tim got the rights to do the Onederful/M-Pac cd there was info referringf to the All Of My life as being by the Four Temples. Will ask what the info was when I see him at the weekend if I remember. As for playing at a venue? It's never been issued and only exists on a studio disc and cd...make your own minds up ;-)

Lifeline will only push newr sixties and seventies soul, unknown, lesser played and forgotten thinking mans (or womans oldies), nothing overplayed or oldies you hear week in week out, Mick and Andy bwant nothing else. They would sooner not promote a venue if thye had to go down the tried and tested route. I will be there again next time, seek me out!! As for instrumentals, I couldn't agree more, lack soul IMO. Maybe someone giving their all blowing into a sax but like you said lacks the heartbreak factor. Would sooner hear a good vocal anyday of the week and certainly haven't got time for an instrumental of a vocal.

Did you see what it went for on JM auction? £1107. I know it's not often seen these days but is it really an £1100 record?

Heard the Chaumonts recently actually, couple of times, 100 club and Brighton I think. Scraping the barrell...Mmmmmmm. I was at the Lifeline niter recently and it was virtually nine and a half hours of upfront scraping the barrell soul, not an overplayed oldie in sight. Butch, Andy Dyson, Tim Brown, Cliff Steele (one of the country's most under-rated djs) and Nick Stevenson and guest Marco kept the floor rammed all night. It was the best night musically I've had in years (probably since the 80's) for Rare Soul all night!!!! It does show that there is a market for the scaping the barrel stuff ;-) It's other venues ramming played out stuff down folks throat all the time and dancers/scene etc not progressing. I wish there was a Lifeline all-niter everweek!!!

Classics maybe but it's time the scene moved on a bit and embraced some newer sixties soul. Hear played out classics everyweek, get summat new on the decks!!! One instrumental that was played at the Lifeline niter that caused some interest was the Soul-Ins on Mos-Ley.

>>Popcorn article<< >>Another Popcorn article<< Couple of articles to read I found. Whilst they do play some soul there is some down right crap that isn't in the least bit soulful on the popcorn scene. Bit like the northern scene :-)

Popcorn..f*** knows, don't think anyone got a definitive answer lol...some real strange records on the scene though as well as some quality soul. Prices....... Bob And Fred very rare £800 to £1000 plus. Superlatives Yellow label £75 (although my girlfriend Janine just got one for £35) and Sky blue label @ £40. Flirtations £150/£250 Shamettes (on Gold Dust) Manship rates it at £400 Spaniels - I've got down at £10, maybe someone has an upto date price.

Rarest of the 3, not 100% of current value but JM quotes it at £100.

But the two records we are talking about seem to be cropping up at fairly regular intervals, if not on ebay, sales list???? How rare is rare these days? 10 copies, 50, 100, 200 copies?

Seems to be the going rate of late for Bobby Kline. Another juist gine up on e-bay from Mike Noriegab be interesting to see what it goes for.

Dig the dj "Give it up with another stonking tune", sticks the needle on the decks and then begins to bob about like Derek Allen...brilliant. Shit film but funny.
