Thanks for that do we know anything more about them or the label itself ?

Dave , honestly, you got that wrong and you assumed I meant The Ethics on Vent, when I did actually said on the same label as The Intentions on "Up Tight"

Thanks , I was listening to The Ethics as well and they are more like a Garage Band ( all these groups with the same names !!!!)

As a knew member to Soul Source, I found this article superb and clearly you are so dedicated on your quests, as I am trying to be. You mentioned above that the Intentions Philips release "was the only foray into the business they achieved" I always wondered if they did in fact have anymore singles and came across this forum, when trying to find out about this release, on the same label as The Ethics. I was wondering if you could shed some light on this please and perhaps the label as I can't seem to fathom it

It is so sad that Barbara Reece died December 24th 2018 just before the re-issue of her album, a great loss to all rare soul fans. She married Steve Reece after they had recorded the LP

Nothing political here, then

I agree totally it sold for £60 in 2013, this happens though for some strange reason

Last one

This is it for me

I am not a facebook person.....however I have found Professor Watkins so someone can contact her to see if she is the same lady https://www.facebook.com/Professor-Bernice-Watkins-210986472759695/

I am staggered at the repros of the Soul Sounds ones.....Bootlegs of Bootlegs......wow !!!! Perhaps one of our Spanish friends on Soul source will contact the authorities

I found this site in Spain https://www.hepstylo.com/soul--funk-49-c.asp What do we reckon ?

It appears these were both made for a particular DJ to celebrate his birthdays, at the time and as yet we have no idea as to whether they were licensed, I am pretty sure with the knowledge on this site someone will know if they were or weren't

So just to confirm the ones with artwork are not bootlegs then like everyone said ?

And of course he was Lead Vocals on the Laurie "Megatones" release

So do we know who did it/them ?

This one has always interested me (looks like the cat number is a D.O.B.)

You are spot on, however as the scene is trying to tempt the younger audience, I can see visions of kids looking through boxes of records at gigs or searching on the net, when we are all in nursing homes or gone to the "Soul Club in the sky", looking for great tunes they really want and not having a clue what they are buying (reminds me of when I was a teenager and no internet then) It surely is our job to protect them as much as we can by helping with identifying bootlegs and at least then if they fall into the trap, or made an error, they have the whole story and can only point the finger back at themselves (or am I soapboxing too much and sounding like David Attenborough and Climate Change (just to be topical)
