Hi Glynn PM'd you on Donny Burks Cheers

Pm'd you !!!!!!!

A nice clean copy please Thanks

Pm'd you

Will you be recording any original material ?

Over the years have spoken to a number of people who were regulars at the Wheel and who saw many of the greatest live acts in their prime and more than a few have said that the Vibrations were unbelievable. Being a long time collector of original footage of the greats soul acts, I was unaware of any original footage in existence of the Vibrations from the golden era then just recently came across this clip from the US TV show Hollywood A Go Go in 1965 . This is amazing footage of the classic line up of the Vibrations - just wait til you get to about 3 mins 40 secs into the clip and then the boys really let loose !!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XxFIzhGx0w

Could you point us towards where we can find more info on the Promises? Have always enjoyed their version of " This Love Is Real " but always assumed that they were black. And there were some liner notes I believe on a Brunswick compilation CD many years ago that implied that an LP on the Promises was released on BRC ?

I love your turn of phrase Bob ...

PMd you !

PMd you

The various vinyl releases of Ain't Nothing But A House Party all note the songwriters as Del Sharh and Joe Thomas but just came across this piece of sheet music which notes Joe Thomas and Carl Fisher as the songwriters ... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180732998090?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

No, definitely no Aussie release for "Push..."

So, where does that leave people outside the UK and on the other side of the world who like to keep abreast of what is happening on the scene ?

Well said

.... And unless these white label 12's actually exist and are legitimately licensed and were issued first, then the first and only legitimate vinyl release is the Soul Togetherness 2012 LP isn't it ?

Lorraine, you have amazed, and continue to amaze, many generations of soul music fans with your grace and incredible talent.

No , they were doing what most acts do : listening to what their managers, producers and record labels were telling them was best to make a hit record. And it worked. Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and James Brown spent much of their careers singing old standards.

Very sad, Bobby really played such a major part in some of the greatest songs in popular music. Interesting that the NBC report on his passing https://www.nbcphilad...-223104461.html mentions that he was "currently working on releasing a series of unheard Philadelphia Soul songs". Anyone know anything more about this ?

Here you go, from the Detroit 9000 movie , Laura Lee comes in at around 3 mins 50 secs. Anyone recognise any of the boys in the backing band ? Some Detroit soul legends perhaps ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQv732_IWrc

And one cannot over estimate how important soul source is to rare soul enthusiasts outside of the UK.

Weren't all the Soul Supply releases legally licensed ?

Can anyone assist? Thanks

There was a thread on here some years ago regarding whether any film or video footage existed of the Northern scene prior to the This Is England documentary from' 77. Someone posted and said that apparently there is some footage of the original Wheel. Anyone have any information on that ?

Dallas , have you won a few million in the lottery lately ?
