Too Right and boy oh boy it needed a vocal release 😂

Sadly I gave up on record fairs about 10 years ago (spent 20 years going to them) Most dealers will nowadays check prices on the web themselves (unless they are too old fashioned) and I found that they were just getting rid of there "not so good stock" or the good stuff was over priced. I always felt that there were few bargains to be had for the digging time necessary and this trend has passed on even with the very few flea markets around and car boot sale sellers. I certainly would never knock them and guess there will always be a place for them (students seem to love them) as you can see they are still busy in some areas from the images. I did call into a fair in Blackpool earlier this year (in a pub) but the only soul records were in one box and ALL bootlegs !!!!

Wow...what a find and here's to hearing the tunes I don't suppose the Carla Baker is this Lady, as she did live in New Orleans for a time https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/carlabaker

Believe me there is no way of finding out or I would have done, they must have been called in to perform these tunes and were NEVER credited and this LP never has been on Discogs

Re-mixing time in study is booked for 13th September and will have cuts of the 2 tunes ready around the 20th so will let everyone have a listen

Good shout but not that

OOh not yet Chalky

Ha Great shout, but not that version

I can 100% assure you it's different version from a sort of novelty LP There is also a very very nice version of Sweet Illusion (Junior Campbell) Group

Sorry, I should have said it's on a various artists thing a bit like the California Raisons thing I'll get it recorded so you can listen, I really like it as a cover version It's UK and a made up name and please be patient with me as I am trying to research it

I was just looking at the Jackie Wilson thread Has anyone heard the version by "The Sugar Lumps" and was it ever played out (LP only)

This rt Like Northern Soul is a made up name for a scene so to is Lowrider Soul This article is great IMHO and tells you everything https://www.utne.com/arts/classic-lowriders-zm0z12mjzros

So the writers might be Johnny Griffith, Derek Draw and Richard Green(e) ?

Ollie is now in the Michigan Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame..... story here, including some other artists we know https://www.michiganrockandrolllegends.com/mrrl-hall-of-fame/298-ollie-mclaughlin

Someone has one in a bank vault

Opened topic again as Chalky has more info

Sorry Mike.....Gilly and Chalky did an amazing job on informing me and others about the group and I felt that no more info was necessary as the question has been answered

Thanks so much I can rest happy now having not known for 40 years

Get it in your book mate, they need recognition before history is lost
