  1. My apologies did you get it with a download? and can we have image of B side please
  2. The Alexis Evans Cannot have been posted. If it has you will get it end of June
  3. Record Kicks release is NOT until 21-06-2019 if yours have landed or are in the post you must be members of this:)
  4. Not available until 21-06, how did you do that (unless you ordered LP)
  5. Looks more likely to me, great digging more back up here (scroll down) https://timsawley.co.uk/50-bubbling-under/
  6. I agree, I was just attempting to "bark up some sort of tree" with the name thing and you are correct artists moved around and used name variations often, but I think when we are investigating, all options need looking at
  7. https://vidco.su/watch/7lu_6-rWwS4/ocapellos-the-stars-beautiful-nj-doo-wop-soul-crossover-ballad-gus-gossert-favorite.html
  8. Am I completely wrong here or was The Bobby Kline (Kilne) pictured here on the right, the same guy that was in "The Genos" from Reading, PA
  9. I apologise if this has been covered before I was looking for more info about the group and came across this interesting article.....WOW, you live and learn https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/see-which-whispers-singer-went-to-prison-for-1-8-mill-jewelry-heist/
  10. That's an interesting point, more bothered to know about Carol and her life (which would be connected I guess to her family), I believe they call it a bio , surely most folks would "like", if they knew, her story, like other artists.
  11. Totally agree with those sentiments. Just a case in point though. Because of the "play originals only" tag that has been self created, this also surely has added to this problem. After all there is always 2 sides to every coin
  12. Are we sure this isn't Lisa Stansfield in disguise !!!!! Great tune.....out for vinyl please I hope
  13. Found this article ....who is the lady in the middle ? This thread is also connected
  14. Please let me say sorry if this story has been covered and perhaps someone will direct me to any previous thread No doubt a lot of us have danced to or owned a copy of "Sad Girl" at some stage and of course Carol made a number of classy recordings I have noted her passing in 1984 and have tried to find out more about her and her family They ran Mid-Town records I spotted some comments on Amazon that were made about her family and it appears something happened including her mother Essie "Reading the liner notes took me back down memory lane. My family owned a record store next door to a boutique the Anderson's opened in 1979 or '80 on Jefferson Avenue on the east side of Detroit, Essie's Boutique. It was located in a block long stretch of black owned businesses who were all doing well. They were like royalty pulling up every day well dressed in a long gray Lincoln Continental, driven by Carol's brother George, with her mother Essie as the matriarch. Cheryl, Carol's daughter, completed the quartet. I was a preteen and friends with Cheryl, who at that time was a regular on The Scene, a locally produced and televised dance show. A poor man's Soul Train if you will. The family was tight knit and respectful. They were always together. Always. So I found the comment of Cheryl being a "wild child" in the liner notes a little off-putting. I'm not sure where that came from but I knew her, and she was anything but that. She once shared with me that Carol was not her real mother. If that was the case then it would certainly explain why she was never heard from again after Essie's and Carol's unfortunate deaths. In any event, I appreciate that the author put together this incredible CD. Carol may not have hit the big one in the music industry, but she touched many people. Anyone who can say that had a good life." This "looks" like a sad story (perhaps Ironic too with the title of her most famous record) and I would like, hopefully, for help in finding out what happened please.
  15. There's one for sale (yellow) on Discogs as you said for a £1000 but average price is £116, a red copy is unusual but £2000 would be fantasy land me thinks but with Al Johnson all over it, who knows.....good luck
  16. Played at Cleethorpes and Mary Chapman told me how one day, when the system went down, the crowd just sat and and sang Do It, Do It, must have been great, perhaps someone here remembers being there
  17. Maybe I am clutching at straws again This couldn't possibly be him ? https://www.hendersonmemorialchapel.com/obituary/1866627
  18. Skipper founded some great acts I wonder who the ladies are
  19. The band (named after the school where they were students, and their favorite car, the Oldmosbile Toronado) This is a great article https://www.houstonpress.com/news/the-tsu-toronadoes-6540593
  20. Comes close, but not as good as the track 2 years ago
  21. I think it was the name thing, but I agree should be a different thread
  22. Don't know if this helps "Female vocal soul trio from Miami, Florida. Active in the mid 60s. Discovered by Blackpool Mecca DJ Ian Levine on one of his regular US trips to Miami in 1975, this became a massive sound at Wigan Casino in 1977. A typical mid 60s girlie group sound so popular at the time which sounded great in big all-nighter halls. I'm not sure of the year it was issued but would guess around 1964/65. The Twans are a mystery and it is not known if they ever released anything else. According to Jeff Lemlich (author of 'Savage Lost' a 416 page book covering the music scene in Miami in the 60s) in a comment in response to Colin Dilnot's article, The Twans were one of many Miami girl groups of the 60s and one of the singers replaced Annette Snell ('It's All Over Now' Epic) as lead singer of The Fabulettes ('The Bigger They Are The Harder They Fall' fame). You can read more about Annette Snell Written by Brad Shapiro and Steve Alaimo and issued on Henry Stone's Dade label, this is the most elusive record to find on the label. According to Jeff Lemlich this is the only Miami girl group record that he does not own and he has never been able to find it despite living in Miami all his life!"
