What both myself and Chalky are getting at is that there are so many bootlegs around at the moment and we just feel this one is "odd" and are trying to clarify with the knowledge that is on Soul Source if it is a genuine licensed release or NOT

He wrote the B side here ( a little off thread but do we know anything about this group please ?

I have found the address of Champ (where it was) there is a phone number for the new owner https://www.whitepages.com/name/Norman-Cbud-Neal-Sr./Johnson-City-TN/17hz73k6

I forgot about these

Indeed he was

There were a few groups called The Tears, did this group only have the one release ?

And the rights to the other Side ?

How do we know it's a boot who booted them ?

Can't be the same guys then, can it operating here, just a name coincidence then https://www.soulfulrecords.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR3epHazEihyNzHuip9bSBFcW0bfBd5aCdVYM-eqA6FzRkeGMQUCizOc9kk,

Chalky, google the company under companies house soulfulrecordsltd

The one Dave posted on June 9 2011 (above) was blue ?

Is this real Dave https://www.ebay.com/itm/WILLIE-TEE-You-gonna-pay-some-dues-US-7-BONATEMP-401-HOLY-GRAIL-SOUL-NM/312677646696?hash=item48cd0a4168:g:HkMAAOSwraNdFlQO

Missed this one

Nice tune

Does it not seem strange that the B side is a group from Barrow in Furness in the UK ? Like Chalky this has come up before recently and I believe this person will know as he listed it on Discogs (and the others) https://www.soulfulrecords.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR3epHazEihyNzHuip9bSBFcW0bfBd5aCdVYM-eqA6FzRkeGMQUCizOc9kk

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Lou Rawls....My ears still do not deceive me, even at my age

Weird that Ubiquity have released it .....again !!!!.... when there are loads of cheap copies still available of the 2012 re-issue (pressed in clear vinyl as well)

Nice article

Thanks John There's got to be someone who knows on here. (or we all doomed ) I am fascinated that someone would boot it using The publisher on the LP ? (mind you it might have been done that way to make it look authentic) His other single (perhaps a little off thread) where on a different label all together, although it did bear a resemblance to "Dobre" label

I would be very interested to know why it was "potentially shady" please

Vincent, whose surname Lapi means "Bee" in Sicilian was a local singer, keyboard player and guitarist in New Jersey, USA. He was a "Charismatic" born again Christian. He invested over $30000 in making his one single release as Bee Vee and The Honey Bee which was a Gospel/ Disco/ Funk record, with a plan to release an LP which sadly never materialised.

Interesting version
