Hoagy Lands The next in line Laurie Advance Release?
Thanks. I was picking up the point about there being several vinyl versions but missed the "demo" bit. Note to self - read things properly! Mike

Hoagy Lands The next in line Laurie Advance Release?
My wife Suzy's copy has an etched number in the run out and a slightly different label. It also says Recorded at Allegro Sound Studio. Moulded vinyl. Runout on the Next in Line side, is etched U4KM-901-1C "A"/A with a separate R on the opposite side of the run out. The "A" could be an R - that would be close to the Discogs description I reckon she would have got this around 1973. Mike

!960's UK Mod / Soul Clubs
This is a bit of topic but I'm convinced that I saw a live singer in late 60's, "Don L Jackson" who was a US serviceman. Sort of Geno style doing soul covers. I've made several attempts to verify this but without luck. Main problem is I can't remember where he was playing. Anyone else, or am I just imagining it? Hump

Jerry Butler RIP
For me Jerry's version of this Van McCoy classic hits the spot. Superb vocals and arrangement that tight as a drum. Wonderful. Jerry RIP and thank you. Mike Jerry Butler - I Can't Stand To See You Cry (Vee Jay).mp3

In addition to number R3616A there is a hand drawn mark - as photo on the USA distributed version. Pressing plant? Hump

Gladys Knight- How Do You Say Goodbye
My old (2002) Goldmine R&B Catalog says records by "The Pips" were released by Fury into 1963. See attached. A i962 date ties in with the very detailed notes from Bill Dahl's interview with Bubba. Gladys was taking a break andthe Pips issued a single in 1963 without her. Facinating stuff.

Gladys Knight- How Do You Say Goodbye
There is a compilation UK album by Bulldog records. "Gladys Knight: Looking back - the Fury years", it includes "How do you say goodbye". Style is like the other Fury recordings I have. Hump

Northern Tunes In Strange Places
I have just moved offices at work. Each morning, I now get coffee at a new cafe. I was sitting in reading the paper when my ears pricked up. On came the pleading tones of Otis Redding - "Try a little tenderness". OK, its not "Northern", but its also not the sort of tune you expect to hear at 08.30 in Finchley Central. The cafe owner is a nice chap so I explained I bought the Album (Dictionary of soul) in 1967 and had never previously heard it played anywhere. The response was "Dunno mate, this is Amazon Music". Perhaps I tend to overthink things! Hump

Hot Buttered SIngles
Arrived today and its a thing of beauty! Interestingly, back in the day when I bought "Hot Buttered Soul" (1969/70) there was much derision from my mates in Market Harborough. My wife Suzy, who has a pretty good ear for a soul tune thought it was rubbish. Times and tastes change, but I reckon its still a bit of a Marmite thing.

Jerry Butler - Right Track
There were a few carvers around a while back, there was a view that it was the right sound for the scene at the time. Not sure I ever heard it out down south. I've got one somewhere I think.

Hearing Unexpected Music In Unexpected Places!
My daughter (now 40 but lived in a home with soul music for most of those years) sent a txt saying she heard Northern in the supermarket. She Identified it as "Keep on Talking" but it turned out to be Texas who currenlty have a cover produced by Spooner Oldham. Hump

Saints and Sinners, '71-2.
Regretfully no, bit of a disappointment as never saw him live. Back then Harborough crowd mixed with Corby, Kettering, Cambridge and Peterborough plus lots of individuals who just seemed to turn up - why/how, who knows. Did used to travel a long way though. Mostly we were in cars. I'll see if I can did some phot's out. Sue has let other use them so thay may have been posted already.

I'd recognise that wallpaper anywhere, very distinctive. Suzan has some more photographs possibly the same night. Its noticable that the style was very different then, a bit more mod - before the switch to baggies and vests. Good times.

Kent Anniversary counterfeits or are they?
Mine doesn't skip, suppose that means it must be dodgy!! The "person of interest" gets about. Earlier items for sale mention collect in person at Witney, Kidlington and Market Harborough.
