Soul Shrews

Nice thread woolie mark !! Loads to go at if we are including songwriting as well as performances, heres one

Read half of the article on the Guardian app on the way back from work today. At least the guy seemed to know what he was writing about. Had to chuckle when he wrote that it would be pointless to list 10 classic oldies and then proceeded to do just that ! Well the 1st 5 I haven"t read it all yet but exspect more of the same. Al in all a decent and positive read I thought. Cheers Paul

Thanks WoodButcher Cheers Paul

Yes Steve he was even over here in Amsterdam (@ Amsterdan Soul Club) a few years ago. Talented guy Cheers Paul

Hi GeorgeStorr Maybe worth checking this site for photos www.richardjonphotography.co.uk Cheers Paul

Yes Chris great version. Also got a UK 45 release. Cheers Paul

Although I am not active on the UK scene I always find the playlists interesting. Cheers Paul

Echo all the above. Thanks for the music Mr Taylor Cheers Paul

Mickey not doubting you at all (and I haven"t heard the track, soundfile anyone?) but on the discogs link the flipside is written by Louis Johnson. Chalky according to the Soul Harmony book the L.V. Johnson ICA 45 from 81 "I Love You, I Want You I Need You/"I Don"t Really Care" is Lou Johnson. So maybe you can compare voices on this ? Was news to me when I checked after reading this interesting thread. I have at least one other ICA 45 by LV Johnson which I think is a differnt singer than Lou Johnson.?? Cheers Paul

Can you imagine walking into a record store that week thinking "I only have enough cash to buy 3 45s......." Cheers Paul PS Radiants version for me all day/night long

Is there any difference in the LP and 45 version.? Beside the mono/stereo thing Cheers Paul

Can"t have enough Marva Cheers Paul

Been a favourite round our way since the mid 80s when our old mate Paul Guntrip put us on to it. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=marva+whitney+i'm+tired Cheers Paul .

So many to go at Son of Stan but heres one to start and as it is ......summertime ! Cheers Paul

Chris I have seen pale green ones in the States and here in europe for years sold by reputable dealers. I think they are real not boots. Cheers Paul

Thats a real shame. Its 2017 ffs the sound should be sorted Cheers Paul

These posts sum it up I guess.But Steve S if you get the chance to see one of his regular gigs you may change your mind Cheers Paul

It may have been difficult for him singing songs he doesn"t normally perform. I saw a video of him @ Blackpool doing "Better Use Your Head" where he seems to forget/fudge some lyrics. Glad I caught him and the Imperials some years ago Stateside where they were fantastic. Cheers Paul

Inferno issued a 45 with 2 remixes by Tom Moulton Cheers Paul

Dufus you could try a PM to Mike Vague a member on here and LA record dealer. Not seen or heard from him for a few years tho so maybe he"s not busy these days ? Maybe a PM to Greg Belson would be a good idea. Good luck ! Cheers Paul

Am I missing something here ? A different version or something ? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wales+wallace+whatever+you+want Cheers Paul

Yes I was goihg to mention that one, if that was the record the thread starter was on about. Another mix on the flip of the Inferno one also by the re-mixer master Tom Moulton. Those mixes were done back in the 70s. Cheers Paul

It did come out on Verve tomangoes and yes a cheap/affordable record. "Run Granny Run Run" (an old Wheel tune I believe) on the flip Cheers Paul

Yes and lets hope Rod will continue his regular,as member, imput to this forum. Maybe some more cratedigging USA stories Rod, now you have the time? Cheers Paul

Job well done Rod you will be missed Cheers Paul
