Really looking forward to this Dave - any info in the book on The Creations group who recorded for Virtue ???

The one book that constantly gets overlooked is Barney Hoskins "Say it One Time for the Broken Hearted: The Country Side of Southern Soul". The influence of country music was absolutely critical to the development of Soul Music generally - not just Southern Soul - and this book nails the evolutionary journey to Soul Music perfectly.

A little off topic but Mr Manship currently has on auction a Unique Blend on Eastbound and in his listing the record is sitting in an orange Janus sleeve. (see below). I stand to be corrected but I've never seen an Eastbound - or Westbound record for that matter - in a Janus sleeve. Obviously Westbound had its own dedicated sleeve, but not Eastbound. Has anyone ever seen an Eastbound record in a Janus sleeve?

As many of you know The Herbs issued some excellent records on George Blackwell's Smoke label. I only chanced upon this recent ebay listing after it had ended so unfortunately I didn't win the item. If I had known about it sooner, I would have bid to win the item, no question. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Herbs-1969-Question-Vintage-Soul-R-B-7-Single-Press-Photos-Letter-/131545411096?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1ea0b7ae18&nma=true&si=G1m0KsC4VrxA%2FGCqwdVnf2jIoQI%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 The record came with some fabulous memorabilia relating to the group including a letter from the group's manager to Allen Walden of Capricorn Records who was the brother of Phil Walden (who had of course been the manager of Otis Redding). Here is the material that came with the record ....

You mean LP only ?

Not UK only .... New Zealand 7"

A broad range of musical styles and beats on that anthology but in truth little to enthuse the (rare) soul and funk crowd. Any prospect of a collection concentrating on the soul/funk side of P & P ?

That "Coming To You" track is indeed rather good ... would be great too if Warner/Atlantic were to release it on 7" vinyl but little chance of that happening one would think ...

Wasn't his spell with the Contours before the Originals ?

Who better than the Godfather himself to show you how to do the dances ...

Also, original is vinyl , boot is styrene, isn't it?

I stand to be corrected but I'm certain that those "Distributed By The Atlantic Atco Group" sleeves were never used for the main label releases and, furthermore , those sleeves were not even in use after 1969. The Pointer Sisters was released in 1972 and ought to be housed in this type sleeve:

you're looking in the wrong place my friend ...
