Cheers Crumb, didn't know that. Just checked the R&B Indies book, seems M. in the Street was from Cincinatti. Still don't know which release was first - I guess you'd assume Jewel came later

I have Albert Washington's "Loosen these pains and let me go/Go on and help yourself" on two labels - Jewel 822 and M.In the Street M.I.T.S. 1. Does anyone know which of these came first, or anything about the M. In the Street label? Cheers Nick

Thanks Gary - I s'pose I should have recognised that really, shouldn't I. Nick

Which version do you prefer ?JR Bailey or Donny Hathaway The Tom Jones version isn't too bad

Can anyone help identify a track on this CD which isn't included in the track listing? It comes between track 13 (Delighters - "Music Revolution") and the track listed as 14 (but really 15!) - Hearts of Stone - "Yesterday's love is over" It's a nice track, I feel I should know it, and it's driving me mad. Cheers Nick

I've just listened to the CD "Lost Soul Oldies vol 10", and find that there's a track not included in the track listing in the packaging. It comes at track 14, between Delighters - "Music revolution", and Hearts of Stone - "Yesterday's love is over" (which is listed as track 14, but is actually 15). Does anyone know what this track is - it's great, I feel I should know it, it's driving me mad! Nick

Thanks for that, I'll have a listen, but I suspect it's really someone got their Isley and Temps mixed up. Cheers Nick

What a great site, I didn't know about it, thanks for that. I'm also fairly sure it's a mistake, but I wondered if there's an an unreleased Temptations version knocking about, which might not show up on DFTMC. Anyone know?

I've had a request to play "I guess I'll always love you" by the Temptations - is there a version by them I've overlooked (and if so, what album/CD?), or is it a mistake?

There's a cool sax-led instrumental version on the flip of the Contempo reissue of Bob & Earl

And a third version, by June Conquest & Donny Hathaway, on Curtom/UK Buddah

Looking through my Pic & Bill tunes (well, I was having a day off work) I noticed that "This is it", on UK Page One, says "Rhythm & Blues Series" on the label. Does anyone know if there are any other records in this series, or was it one of those ideas that was never followed up? Cheers Nick

I heard that too! I'm doing it tonight, but Mary will be back next Friday. Cheers Nick

It says 1969 on the record label. Nick

Thanks Sean, I thought you'd know! Nick

Just played Kim Weston's "Gonna be alright" and noticed that although the label design is a typical Volt label, the record number (MIA 1502) is that given in the Mikim discography. Anyone know anything about this? Cheers Nick

PM me Nick

They sound very similar, but not the same. According to the Vocal Groups book, the Enchated Five dates from 1970, and the Topics 1972. One of the co-writers, Bruce Clark, is given as a member of the Enchanted Five - he also produced the Topics' version. The Enchanted Five version shows S Horton as producer, and gives him a co-writer credit which the Topics doesn't. Somehow, I don't think that makes things any clearer! Nick

Several people have asked about a memorial night for Chris. There will be a night in Chris's memory at the George Hotel, Swan Square, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, ST6 2AE, on Friday November 6th (8.00-1.00). DJs will be Dave Bell and myself (the other 2/3 of the team from the Bear, Newcastle, way back when), Keith Minshull and local guests. £5 on the door, all proceeds to Douglas Macmillan Hospice. It would be great to see as many of his old mates as we can pack in to the place. Nick

Thanks to everyone for your tributes to Chris, I'll let his family know. If anyone would like to attend the funeral, it will be on Monday September 14th, at 1.00pm, at St Giles Church, Newcastle-under-Lyme. Nick

Sorry to report that Chris Savory died on Tuesday 1st September, aged 62. Chris would have been well known to many members of this forum, as a collector, dealer, record fair organiser, broadcaster, writer, magazine publisher and occasional DJ, among many other activities. He was a major fan of soul music and turned me on to some great tunes. Nick

After listening to Bob's excellent interview with the Radiants, I dug out what I own by them. I found a copy of "I need a vacation", on ABC 12394 - am I right in thinking that this is a completely different and unrelated group? Cheers Nick

Check out Al Wilson's version - it's great! Nick

I think it's a more recent show than this - that's the playlist for Jan 2nd

I had an email asking me for the identity of a track I played on Mary Fox's show - I can't for the life of me think what it is, though I'll no doubt kick myself when I find out. Here's the clues I got sent: "earlier you played a track with the chorus "Coming back to my senses.." and a great driving horn section" Any ideas? Thanks Nick
