Instant Monster - Then Forgot About
Surely not where you live but venues attended? Records that were played at Yate and very big there at the time were not discovered by the majority until the late 80,s early 90's. In the 70,s they would be localised biggies

Instant Monster - Then Forgot About
As far as I am aware Soul Source was played in the very early 70,s (Torch etc.) and even generated a reissue on verve. The original plays were because of the UK Verve release followed later by its subsequent revisit (oldies) around 78 time. It was also used as a backing theme to a children's BBC programme (can't remember the name) that my kids watched in the 90's. Regards

Robert Walker & The Soul Strings
Wasn't it "stick to me" on RCA? Has anybody seen an issue, I for one never have.

Can Anyone Help
Off at a tangent here, but recently heard Sammy Ambrose - Dreamsville played out, possibly the first time I've heard it in 15 years (only seen it on UK Stateside too) but there now appears to be a few on the US musicor release/demo turning up. Have a few been located/found? TOTP

If only picka-chick knew what he was supplying, and not just the chicken, pity he never bought us some too (vinyl that is). Whatever happened to them and who owns them now is anybodies guess, I guess. TOTP

Betty Wright - Circle Of Heart Breaks - Boot?
Bought a copy off a friend who was selling up, in the 70's, not played it since, have to search out. There's growing interest in it now I think TOTP

Soul Bowl List From (I Think '79)
Kell Osbourne was released on one of the Loma series of albums in the 70's (7 in the set I think including the great one dedicated to JJ Jackson and Linda Jones - one side each, both sides being released as albums before, the Linda Jones being particularly sought after as it contains at least 7 killer dancers.

Is Playing A Boot At A Venue Ever Acceptable
At he time of release of his version he was doing the rounds, as were a lot of other artists, and appeared at Wigan, and he obviously sang this tune because of the Northern connection (and there was little chance of Roy Hamilton appearing) so whether or not spark records was legitimate, couldn't this be considered as bad as a boot because it was a means of supplying demand, remember Wigans Ovation, etc. Makes you think!!!!! TOTP

Is Playing A Boot At A Venue Ever Acceptable
Remember being told by a friend some years ago that when Robert Knight - Branded was being played (mid 70's) off the LP (last track) his friend removed the other tracks with a stanley knife so that it looked like a single. Nowt so queer as folk. TOTP

What Rare Record Have You Accidentally Broken ?
**** me, as if these records weren't rare enough, what are you doing? Am also guilty of such crimes with various platters. Always thought it would be good to buy every copy of a not so rare record and break every one bar one, and then have world domination of the soul scene Mr Bond.

Used to play the Yum Yums at our local do some 20 years ago, prefer it to Brothers Grimm, ain't there another version. Anyway my choice for today (and future) is Ila Van - You Made Me This Way on PIP, despite it being a 1972 recording (modern in some eyes) it is just a great track, far better than 'Cant Help Lovin That Man'. I Last heard this at M's circa 1979. If any record needs reactivating this does, instead of playing the same old known sounds. TOTP
