Good call Mark68 just played this for the first time in ages and doesn"t it sound good! Always thought Tamiko Jones was very underrated used to have her "Do The Pearl" on December, love her Arista LP 'Love Trip" from '75 and her Metromedia LP has its moments too..."Let It Flow" and "Can't Live Without Your Love" as well. Er..... sidewinding my way back on topic (sort of)................. Mel do you like the Ray Charles Orch version of "Sidewinder"? Eloise Laws also does a nice version on her last CD "Secrets" its called "I Got My Baby" Cheers Paul

Mel its from the LP "A Mann & A woman" 1967 Atlantic 8141 SD 8141 Also features versions of "Sunny" and "1 2 3" Cheers Paul

Looking forward to that 45.....could be over your way again in the fall ......letya know nearer the time. Cheers Paul

Hey jinx74 how ya doin? Did you get the 45 I sent? Bought Veda as a new release from Soul Bowl back in the day unfortunately it got nicked along with a load of other stuff a few years later Never realised it was a Bay sound. Cheers Paul Woosnam

Think Jimmy Radcliffe did "Long After....." in Italian also a few motown things. Cheers Paul

Thanks tsu tomatoes Cheers Paul

Whats the title of the CD please? Saw her singing live (old Philly classics) at the Philly Int cafe in a casino in Atlantic City a couple of years ago. She was excellant. Cheers Paul

Whats the story on this then Dave? Sounds to me like an alternative take to rhe 45 and no longer, and no sound FX either. If it was released at the same tme as the 45 would that make it the first 12 inch? Oops..........wrong thread Cheers Paul

Hello Miles, have you tried the Fantastic Fours (unreleased) version? Cheers Paul

Nice list Mr G whatcha reckon to Grace Littles 12 of "Somebodys Gotta Move"? Thought it was just the Dells track with her voice mixed in? The last Philly vinyl release? Cheers Paul

Must have been ripped off then John I paid six quid for mine :angry: Thanks for the info Cheers Paul

Wouldn't that be Lou Raglands Hot Chocolate Simon? Cheers Paul

Yes Maverick they did have a string of hits here in the mid/late 70's probably more than just one a year. Always considered a pop band over here I don't recall ever hearing one of thier songs in a soul club or seeing much mentioned in the UK soul press at the time. I'm sure there must be a compilation CD of thier stuff out there somewhere have you tried the major outlets Amazon etc? Cheers Paul

Spot on Sean Cheers Paul

Nice one Richard Only have one 45 by him I'm afraid "Never Repay Your Love"/Never Let You Get Away From me" Two good sides........... also on the LP? Cheers Paul

Very nice Richard first time I"ve heard that is it on his LP? Cheers Paul

Also on 45 Gavin Cheers Paul

The Dells "Walk On By" .............and before you ask Gavin no I can"t do a sound clip sorry! Cheers Paul

Blimey fancy Mr Butler getting his Girls mixed up Thanks for that boba any more info would be really appreciated. Cheers Paul

Ooops! Must have missed that Jo, sorry. I did "search" The Girls before I posted but didn"t see anything. I agree stunning lead one of the reasons we'd like to know more. Cheers Paul PS Anybody link me to the original thread?

I always "mark your words" Mr S Sorry forgot what I'm replying to now .................oh yeah!!! All the copies I've seen have been M- whats the deal? Cheers Paul

Mines lovely and minty thanks very much lloyde Cheers Paul PS Better luck next time eh?

Nice one Mark Maybe back in june/july.............let ya know Cheers Paul

No idea Sean, all I know (and this is from the "Ice Mans" mouth) is that the girls came from Memphis He didn"t have much to do with the label just payrolled it. Apparantly they had a very "nice state of the art " studio which was eventually sold on to Isaac Hayes. So who are............. The Girls? Cheers Paul

Anyone know anything about this lovley 45? Asking this partly for my good friend (non soul sourcer) John "Kipper"Kerr tho I'd like to know meself Who were The Girls? Was there only one 45? Kipper asked the Ice Man himself a couple of weeks ago but Jerry couldn't help Any soul sourcers know anything? Cheers Paul Woosnam
