Malaco So much confusion - king floyd - chimneyville

I should be there in a few months, I'll ask someone I know there

Fame Studios The feeling is right - clarence carter - atlantic

Hi Shreveport is another one of those hot spots in the south, just like Muscle Sholas it's a small town, but great music came out of there and home of Paula/Jewel group.

Mighty Muscle Shoals I'm gonna build california from all over the world - phillip mitchell - shout

Gettin' ready for the get down - z z and company - columbus Recorded at Fame Studios

Something new to do - bobby sheen - warner brothers Recorded at Muscle Shoals Studio

A few weeks ago we had a great tread about TK. The south has had a number of great studio's over the years, some still operating to this very day. Rick Hall, still works out of Fame Studio's in Muscle Shoals and Malaco can still be found turning out stuff in Jackson. So let's behaving fav tunes from some of these southern power house studio's, any stories anyone may have, pictures etc Ecko Studio's-Memphis Famous Water Tower Muscle Shoals Otis Redding and Rick Hall

OK Steve, we all promise to do better tomorrow

Hi Mate it's one of those albums that really is stuffed full of great tracks, might put up some more later

Hi John Memory is getting poor these days, but I'm sure there was a green bootleg but with one of those nasty paper lables with lots of bubbles under the label. Bit like one of the east coast pressing plants ? Hows the King Of Soul Dave

HI Pete As others have said, just tell them the truth, that you do this as a business, that you are interested in any records they may have and any stuff on tape. Tell them you will pay them a fair price in cash. It can only go two ways, so no harm asking Dave

Hi Mark Just to make it more difficult, it came out in two original formats, blue print and black. Need runout groove info, where's Johnny M. Dave

All the above Jobete tracks I have uploaded come from a triple pack LP put out by Jobete to promote thier material. It is a prized piece with Motown collectors and sells at between £150-£400. It was one of series put out, the others were by writers ie HDH, Norman Whitfield etc. These are a little easier to find, but mainly cover well know titles. A version of Wali Ali track came out by Eddie Kendricks on Atlantic, but is more disco. Don't think any versions of the other tracks came out.

Hi Mike There was a tread about this a few weeks ago, see link /index.php?showtopic=45260 Dave

I have asked this before, But many years ago he appeared at Newbury. One of the events Russ did there. For some strange reason, I was asked late in the evening to interview him on film. It's fair to say I had a bit to drink, don't remeber much about the interview. But would love to see. Anyone know anything about this, Russ?? Dave

Now that's just going to far

You post away mate, Pete liked good music and your posting good music

Bugger said I wouldn't cry

come on Pete, show em' how we do it down here It's to late - gladys knight & the pips - motown

Simple, just stick to shorts. Drink so much that any thing nasty is killer by all the alcohol in you. Well it's one plan anyway!!!!!!!!!

Full on Pete

Pete was a one-off, but in many way he spoke for the everyman soul fan. One of Staffords biggest supporters, always out spoken, always with a strong opinion. In many of his heart wrenching letters he spoke of wanting to 'make a change', he didn't make it. But he left a mark, that many could only wish for. Always missed and always loved. Here's to you mate Make a change - johnny rogers - amon

Star Ville is the first release, then got leased to Newman, which again was mainly a local release in the New York area

Haven't got it to hand, but check the sound files on this site as I think someone put it up on another tread
