Mike Lofthouse

Thanks, some wonderful stuff coming out and a great source of info - is there a detailed discog in any of the releases?

PM'ed you Alan, thanks

Does anybody have a discography of Fame records that includes all the different label designs and distributors - I have seen the one on Soulful Kinda Music - I guess its that I need supplementing. Thanks in anticipation. Mike

Clem Curtis - Point Of No Return / Never Found A Girl - Pye (Uk) Yellow Label Demo Mint minus, £110 inc fees and Recorded /Signed For Paypal or Cash (if preferred) Thanks Mike

Syl Johnson - I resign - Twinight 107, must be M- to E+ Please PM with total cost. Many thanks Mike

And in addition the ones I have - mainly Jazz - have sheets of miniature LP covers included for display purposes plus multiple Jukebox strips - I think they would frame up nice

But WHO didn't Womack fall out with ? - Fred Smith, Atlantic, UA, David Rubinstein, Columbia, Otis Smith etc etc he'd cause a riot in cemetery ......... Probably why I like him so much

A Jerry Jeff Walker single? it was only the original of Mr Bojangles!!!

Wow, the history of soul music for £35 !!!!!!

Not a criticism of you Chalky - you were obviously passing the information on - its the confusion that is caused - he might not be playing Newcastle, now - who knows?

According to the Hoochie Coochie club website, he is also appearing on 9th Feb in Newcastle. Shame no one ever gets their ducks in a row whenever it comes to these things :o(

Thanks to Sean and the lads his 'You Make Me Tremble' from 'Hooked Hogtied And Collared' has been an anthem at 'Just Soul' at Retford these past three years - get and out and celebrate this music whilst you can. R.I.P. Paul.

I'm not so sure about that Gareth - I've played records to ardent Soul fans and when I mention it was written by Dylan or sung by Captain Beefheart say - you can hear the tumbleweed. Mike

Either me or the rest of you have got the wrong end of the stick here I didn't think Barry's topic was 'can white singers 'sing' Soul' rather although your preference was for Soul music - can you still appreciate whites singers and their 'art' whatever they are singing. Hank Williams is a wonderful Country singer - Eddie Hinton is a wonderful Soul singer. Mike

What ? Respect by Aretha murders Otis' original!!!

Absolutely not - but I actually prefer white singers practicing their art and not trying to sound black. And I do buy an awful lot of it!

...you went away and counted them Chalky - i was only having a bit of fun...

They should be a dedicated category for these - you can't move in the Sales section for them. They must press up a few spares

Isn't nice Kegsy to say 'I'm Wrong' !! Remember Ian Levine re-activated it during his 'Rocket' days - and it was discussed a bit on ANS at the time. I was never sure it was even a Mecca spin back in the day but I have seen it listed on several retrospective 'lists' of Mecca spins Mike

ah well - I said 'I might be wrong' !!! but there is a variation with the other side mono/stereo which is obviously the one my mate got... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Linda-Perry-70s-SOUL-DJ-45-Everyone-Has-Someone-Mono-Stereo-/120826315154?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item1c21cf4192 Great sound mind and i would still rather have an issue Mike

- I might be wrong but I thought the demos were double sided mono/stereo of the other side. Back when it was a new release a mate tried getting half a dozen from the US - it was not easy back in those days - and when they were arrived they were the other side! The two copies I've had have been issues. Never really seen the attraction of 70's double sided demos - you normally miss out on another often better track IMHO. Mike

I always thought it was so the DJ's would play the 'right' side. Enforced even more in the 70's when it was the same track on both sides - mono/stereo.

Mine's a solid centre so it can't be that rare - I don't do rare !

Don't think its out yet Dave - Amazon have it has an October release - it does beg the question why it was released as a 'limited edition' individual numbered release in the first place!
