Soul Shrews

Hi Alan, got Billy Butler standing next to me in my hotel room and the refo soul clip wont play !!! Can you send me an mp3 to my e-mail soon as please ? address is grandmasterpaco@hotmail.com Cheers Paul

Yep he plays guitar for brother Jerrys band playing in Washington DC for 4 nights from tommorrow Not sure if the airports open so don't know if we"ll make it but if we do I will ask him for you and show him this thread Cheers Paul

Doesn"t sound like Mr Butler to me either...........but I'll ask him about it when I see him tommorrow.............weather/snow permitting. Cheers Paul

Hes interviewed in "The Strange World...." so I guess he knows Cheers Paul

I still think you can boba..............but then again I"ve never put rarity or monetary value above what I like about a record......plus I'm a cheapskate and a musical pervert Cheers Paul

DVD available from amazon Cheers Paul

Always associate Johnny Hampton "Not My Girl" with Russ and the Casino Cheers Paul

Ged if any of the 2 or 3 you have left are in decent nick and priced good I will be interested in one Cheers Paul

I like the version of "you send me" too............but for me the flipside "Mr Moonlight" (with female lead vocal) is the one Cheers Paul

Ronnie McNeir wasn't singing lead when we saw them a couple of years ago in Amsterdam. He did sing lead on "Just Ask The Lonely" and sounded fantastic. See where you're coming from re the "tribute band" stuff tho Chalky and to be honest we only went after being given free tickets. A very proffesional tight show with an excellant band and some wonderful talented performers in both bands. Ron Tyson taking Eddie Kendricks role in the Temps was especially good. Cheers Paul

Is this the "youtube" anthems thread ??? Cheeze Paul

I'm pretty sure thats a real 'un girth................no idea why the euro issue would've been booted...........maybe it was due to euro demand ??? And would have been easier to copy than the US 45 ???? Cheers Paul

Nope its just the Froggy issue Roger.................you can see some of the "daft" pic sleeve through the centre Oh I see what you mean..................er doh.................yeah I reckon that "French" pressing without the anti slip is dodgy Cheers Paul

edit Cheers Paul

Tht popsike ones the Frenchie Roger. Full version with the "drunken" intro as the LP The Belgian release misses the "drunken" intro but apart from that is the same length as LP. Didn't come out til "78 tho (Snow Records) Cheers Paul

They're all the same UK/US /LP /Dutch.........................and all brilliant !!! Cheers Paul

Only 1000 ?...................................Ya lightweight !!!! Cheers Paul .......................lovin' that Dee Dee Bridge LP mate.............. nice one

I've heard that horn riff on another record...............maybe they "borrowed" it from that............................... or vice versa Cheers Paul

Remember chatting with the owner of "Downstairs Records" in NYC who told me Elton John played piano on Eddie Holmans "This Wil Be A Night To Remember" at Sigma Sound. He knew this because he happened to be in the studio at the time. Cheers Paul

Fantastic Lp "H20 Gate Blues" ............"Your Daddy Loves You"..."Peace Go With You Brother" etc etc Cheers Paul

I think there was a Stata East 45 and bought one as a new release from Record Corner. Believe it was later bootlegged tho. The 45 was an edit of the LP track missing some of the intro and fading out French and Belgian 45s were later I believe (78?) but the Belgian one is the full version (less the "drunken" intro).............both have "daft" picture sleeves Cheers Paul

What happened to "Sooty & Sweeps" merry xmas then Mark ? Cheeze Paul

Waxwells the best...........ask for "under the counter" 45s:shades: Cheers Paul

Oh and "Cant Stop The Rain" on Dutch 45 backed with "Rode By.........":yes: Cheers Paul

And "I Cant Stop The Rain"........................another good dancer:yes: Cheers Paul
