    Great arrangement on a beautiful song. One of our greatest tracks.
  2. David Meikle
    One of the greats. Top 3 on our scene IMO.

    The Kent 45 correctly dates the Platters recording year as 1966. It is worth reading the history of the recording studio as told by co-owner Ralph Terrana. They all came. Harry Balk, Ollie McLaughlin, Ed Wingate, Clay McMurray, Theo-Coff, Don Juan Mancha, Popcorn Wylie, John Rhys Eddins, Mike Terry, Jack Ashford, George McGregor, Holland/ Dozier/Holland, Mike Valvano, ArmenBoladian, Bob Babbit, Columbia Records, Elektra Records, Stax Records, Capitol Records and many I can't think of. https://soulfuldetroit.com/web03-terashirma/01-tera shirma - introduction.htm

    “You’re Ready Now” at the Twisted Wheel.

    Action packed song with a message.

    Ron Dunbar RIP

    David Meikle commented on Kenb's article in News Archives

    This advert circa 1971 tells us that 95% of Invictus output hit the charts. Much of that was down to Ron Dunbar. I also liked his D Town releases as artist Ronnie Love. Yet another special person leaves us. RIP.

    A good story from July 1971.

    New to me. Brilliant arrangement by Artie Butler.

    Jimmy did lots of arrangements on the soul scene in the mid sixties too. I’m going to stick my neck out however and say that one of my favs is by blue eyed Johnny Caswell. Just love it. RIP Jimmy.

    It might be Arlington in Washington DC. Death is the only equality guaranteed in life.

    is this it?

    Tobi Lark (Legend) was in ‘Hair’.

    If only Jagger had been there. I can just imagine a big WTF rolling out his huge gub. Cracker Gilly.

    B&S was based at 42 Hanway Street. The closed red door in the image. The open red door was a pub back then too. Last time I was there was in 1983, and when I spoke to the bar owner, a Spanish lady, she spoke fondly of John. She said she knew him well and that he was a gentleman. B&S/Contempo was directly above the pub on the first floor.

    I was always a fan of John but didn’t know that he worked for Action Records. I could not have functioned without B&S. The A5 issues with the pull out disc reviews were so good. Is he still around?

    Aki Aleong featured in a number of movies and record labels. You’ll also find his name as a producer for the Minit label eg The Trensations ‘Soulin and a Rollin’/ ‘Saucy’. Also Prince Philip Mitchell, Bob Relf, Jackie Lee, the Quotations, the Turnarounds and others
  18. David Meikle
    Seconded.

    The Debonaires also released 45’s on GW in June 66 and October 66. It was myself who put together the GW story on SD. Where is the mention of the Debutantes in that article? Or are you finding them in a forum thread? Only asking.
  20. David Meikle
    I think this is the ‘Standout’ group. Played their own instruments too, as suggested in the article.
  21. David Meikle
    I got lucky when I selected March 12 1966 for starters. Tremendous material and an eye opener for what we have always regarded as a rare music scene.
  22. David Meikle
    Northern Soul was never any better than on this double sider. RIP Dennis
  23. David Meikle
    And another
  24. David Meikle
    A top notch Northern record.

    Fred told me that he and Don Davis were thrilled with this song...
