Thanks Bob & Paul for the info. I'll check my Vanessa 45 but am sure I recall the same pressing issues. Rich

Right! Who's coming?!! Rich

'Unwanted' on the 'Dreaming Out Of Season' LP - Anyone know what the rest of the LP is like? Rich

I even emailed Southern Soul Radio (GREAT listening) but no reply as of yet.. Would have thought someone on Essential Modern Soul Forum would have known too! Rich

Withdrawn? Sure someone will know. Might be worth posting on the Detroit Soul Forum Alan. Also on the UK EP TME 2005 & Stateside which makes the US release as you say rather hard to fathom out why its so rare? Best Rich

https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/rarest-of-the-rare/42 Quickest one I can find Alan. Rich (Not a proper close scan tho')

Ah that be why I was getting confused. Not heard both for quite a while but SA Musicor sides - Just brilliant. Apologies for my wavering undeciding wobbly stance Fickle! Rich

Some great appreciation there for the 'Lites' - Also how about their 'My First Mistake' which was sampled into a David Morales 'dance toon' I believe. Def. worth digging deeper on these guys. Thanks to all. Rich

Pretty sure they were legit re-issues Matt - Don't see why not in that case. Not everyone has several hundred quid to spend on a 45! Rich

Completly different if I recall. (and at times I dont recall very well!) Lot slower organ-y inst. Nice tune tho! Rich Am actually thinking now if it is or not. Sorry! Being a bit hasty!

Originals (On Uplook) Matt seem to be what? 3/400 for a minter??? Price does seem to vary. There's re-issues of the Delegates and (I think!) a Charles Mintz version re-issued. Do a search on USA Ebay - There's a guy selling them for about $8. Rich

UK Only - Unless I'm very very mistaken! Rich

Cheers for the info Sunny! Much appreciated. Best Rich

Was thinking the title might have been 'I Messed Up' but jeez the collective minds of soul collectors around the world! Someone must know it! Rich

Always enjoyed their version of 'Inner City Blues' also - Is 'Bet' from the first LP?? (I think) Cheers Rich

Thats nice Tony! Saw an Argentinian Roger & the Gypsys 'Pass The Hatchet' - Buy It Now on Ebay - Made a cuppa - Gone... Seems to quite a bit of stuff down in the South Americas. I feel a Chi-Lites evenings play coming on! Best Rich

Doesn't seem to be around - Looks likely that it was never released/shelved for whatever reasons. Ace/Kent put out some great Chess related CD's. Do you have those? Also the Mod Club Classics is worth looking at too. Maybe Tony Rounce or Ady C can help with any info. Think also Universal held some rights to the Chess catalogue too???? Best regards Rich

There's a US copy on UK Ebay now Geoff - LP also includes 'Livin' In The Footsteps Of Another Man' which is GREAT too! Best Rich

PM'd ya fella. Cheers, Rich

Some great tracks on there - Sure I've got something by him somewhere... Whoever this fella is we're looking for I reckon he's sat at home nursing a large scotch right noe playing this tune thinking ' Damn I was SURE this track was gonna whup some ass - Folks just don't appreciate my music' walks off - kicks the cat etc etc. If we find out who it is - I reckon it should be covered up as 'THE RAINBOW DISCO BAND Feat. Old Soulful Dude' Rich (Like Mark having a beerio or two)

Have checked JF 'Powerhouse' & 'Power Is Still On' WILBE CD's on t'internet. No joy either (Unless I'm deaf) Rich Added: Someone on Soulstrut forum mentioned Vick Allen - Checked 3 albums - Nope not him either.)

Hi Geoff I think its LP only - 'Half A Love' is the one you need. Best Rich

CLICK HERE! Hi Harry - It's a bloody tough one that. Anyhow here's one. Best Rich

Anyone got the tracklisting to Vol. 3 to hand? Cheers! Rich

Had nowt from the Southern Soul forum as yet - Looks like we'll have to give the fella a ring! Rich
