Does your book say who Bernie Williams was (no relation to the Blue Notes?) there's nothing after digging around

There had always been discussion about this group being different to the Detroit group This is the info I have from digging around This Superlatives were an all male group from New Jersey:St. Julian (pee wee) Bonaparte (lead)David Jones (first tenor)Leon Stuckey (second tenor)Marvin (mousey) Williams (bass)Gerald Applewhite (baritone)Both the tracks, 'i still love you' and 'we're so lonely' were recorded in 1966, at Cameo Parkway in Philadelphia. The Detroiters were apparently James Edwards, Billy George Jones, James Stuberfield, Ray Took and Rip Washington. It would be nice to know and rectify as I cannot be certain and need your help (I could have missed it on another thread!!!)

I have to say that it's a belter/superb/monster tune and I can see lot's of old men like me peering over a Dj's deck and asking "what the.... is that". Plans should be made to rebuild "The Casino" and they can play this on a loop for me and I won't need 7 or 8 pints to try and get out of my chair to dance to this tune........ What's even more fantastic is he's French, from Bordeaux.....seriously this man can take the US on !!!!

Sean there is little info on Jean and or Barbara and there was another discussion about Shiptown and they might be able to help I fund this on google and wondered sadly if it might be Jean https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/portsmouth-dailytimes/obituary.aspx?n=jean-battle&pid=175583560&fhid=30637

I just happened to come across this sad article from December 2017 which seems to have been missed https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2017/12/06/motown-great-eddie-holland-penniless-tax-bill/108383710/

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/

About time the tunes were here Perhaps we can back on to this thread now we have sorted the Business with Frank

It appears, I think, that Chalky meant that it's Frank Wilson using a different name (on Tollie) and not related in anyway to Dusty Wilson, but I am sure he will explain for you

You're younger and better looking than me

I have listened to the Dustin Wilson and I cannot say whether it is Dusty (sounds different) This is Dusty (Eddie) with the Corals you mentioned

This has now become so important to me to get some more info on Eddie for his daughter I was adopted it took me 48 years to find my family and I managed to get a photo of my mum (who had passed away), so I know what it means. I am not a member of https://soulfuldetroit.com/forum.php and there are many more contacts on there as well as here, who perhaps can help her and as a community we can be proud to help her and what a great result if we can (all from a discussion about a bootleg)

The Judas release will need to have been a subtle name change

And this recording

So may I ask what the connection was to the label and her grandmothers house, as the label has more recordings including one by a group called the Keggs and as far as I know the studio was burnt to the ground in the riots just after their recording

Hi Dale I don't like to assume but it is possible that this is also connected

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 ?

Amazingly these are being sold as re-issues on a well known auction site https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/45Re-EDDIE-HOLMAN-Eddies-My-Name-I-Surrender-Club-Classic-Northern-Soul/303021694915?hash=item468d801fc3:g:jvUAAOSwhrpcMx6O:rk:1:pf:0

Specsavers

The date on the white promo is interesting though (don't you think?) are the 2 PL (Plastic Products) re-presses

There are numerous releases all over Europe, link of some is below but the French one is not there https://www.discogs.com/PP-Arnold-The-First-Cut-Is-The-Deepest/master/79750

Blimey Ted you are a little You have records in your box that were made, or at least in circulation(less than 250).... bet you wouldn't swap your George Pepp

I have it in my mind that he was also connected to this group "Means Of Persuasion" but yet to confirm if someone knows

After doing some research (Nothing much was known about Ike) I found this information, His real name was Izear Noble Jr., 58, passed away June 3, 2007 at St. Charles Hospital. Born on November 2, 1948 in Little Rock, AR, he was a member of New Hope Baptist Church. A talented musician and singer, he performed in Toledo area night clubs, as well as those in Michigan and other parts of Ohio He performed with The Up Tights formed in Forrest City, Arkansas, USA in March of 1967. They recorded for Joe Lee's Alley records and he released 2 45s in the late 1960s from the sessions. Ike appeared on many labels but released many of his 1980's tunes on this label Connowil
