Me too still prefer mags , books , album , covers for knowledge , heres to the next 100 !

Sad news indeed, i've said before losing boy is one of my favourate soul sides . I actually found it on a kent/ ace album (the stax version) many years ago , that led me to the one on murco, so thanks Ady.

Even more strange when you consider freddy scott could hardly have been known outside new york soul circles at the time !

Why ? Can anyone say why you would think about releasing a record in english, in Spanish or Portuguese speaking countries , whats the commerial sense in that ? Europe i get , but South America 40/50 years ago ?

You have the actual record or just found the picture ? , i have freddie scott album 'are you lonely for me ' on Joy which includes open the door to your heart & some heart breaking deep soul too .

Saw him too at Newark about ten years ago , think he was on at skegness weekender couple of years ago , so still doing the rounds . You don.t stand a chance album as been mentioned, track 4 a nice tune , 'supicious love' & his version of' chains of love' is a stormer too,for lovers of mid seventys soul music.

Im a plasterer can't turn the work out like i used to but i keep on keeping on !

Love jimmy james saw him sing hey girl in nottingham way back when it was a new release 1975 /76 oh boy , can't remember where the palais or hucknall & linby miners wellfare ?

Went to Stoke one time some twat was filming his self with a selfy stick, i'm a twat myself so i know one when i see one , have stopped going to certain places cos of constant filming .

Most of the places i go to are retro/oldies venues cos i prefer that atmosphere so tune wise tis more or less so called top 500 .So to counter balance that i collect & play tunes like ....jeanette williams 'you did't know then, on back beat . 'Losing boy ' eddie giles on murco. Stingers 'i refuse to be lonely on stax & the icemen '( i wonder) what it takes' on Samar , works for me .

Don't know where you go , if you go out at all but i have only heard the snake played out twice in the last 2 decades . Personally i detest line & track by the aqua men makes me want to run for the door ! Would be boring if we all liked the same things tho eh.
