  1. I never "got" this one : George Lemons - Fascinating girl.............
  2. 1969 - the UK's love affair with soul music becomes a national trend forcing UK labels to re-issue records from the early to mid sixties : Fascinations Statside/Sue Spellbinders CBS/Direction TMG later numbers - re-issues Doris Troy CP/Toast etc. etc. Proving without doubt that the UK soul scene is (was) driven from the grassroots.
  3. Issue rarer although that west coast one (see pic) is pretty rare too. They do go for £300.00+ mainly because they don't come often up for sale.
  4. Always thought that Canadian issues were great...............
  5. After a few years of trying to get a decent example managed to at last buy this Rotary watch, it's exactly the same as I got for my 21st birthday. I think I binned that one sometime in the early eighties And here she is.............................. Me wearing it in July 1975 Also just bought this probably for resale, looks better than pic...........
  6. Guess this must be the original then..........................
  7. We had an old MK I Cortina and Beetle
  8. Yes, what's the relevance to the thread ? it is a rocker cafe (or was) motorbikes, leather and the likes. Funnily enough we'd pass it every time we came op north for a NS event. Whoops !! Just seen the reason, 100000000000 apologies...................
  9. A very rare pic of the London lot heading up North of a Saturday afternoon........ Looking so cool..........................
  10. I got to meet Jerry Ross, he looked like a retired auto-worker out on a retiree's outing..................
  11. Maybe if C-P weren't farting about with a played out Chubster then they could have promoted the heck out of it and it would been a big hit (but then we'd not want would we ? ).
  12. Christine Cooper trivia, she dated Eddie Holman.......................
  13. Yes he did 71/72 recorded there too..........................goes to show, you just don't know............................
  14. You just have to see the spoof movie called "Black Dynamite" made in 2009 looks like it was filmed in 1973 based on John Shaft............
  15. SABAM are very powerful and tough organisation they nearly shutdown the whole Belgian TV system some years ago over author rights, having said that if you pay them they'll allow pretty much anything
  16. Cool........................
  17. The Minit release comes from their album "Sweet Soul Shakin'" there's a version of the Tempos "Countdown here I come" not surprising the 2 groups intermingled under the auspiciousness of the intrepid Bobby Sanders. Neither are like the Canterbury productions, same choons though.
  18. I get the impression that this a Germany only single release I couldn't see it on the UK or US CP discography, what were they thinking ?
  19. Finally got to track down Gilbert Govaerts a kind of Belgian Popcorn cross between Richard Searling & Ian L Anyway he said the record has been authorised by SABAM but reckons no royalties were ever paid. Released about 75-ish in answer to the BP fans demand. If you want to know his exact words they are : een officiele bootleg,d.w.z.dat degene die deze plaat heeft gereleased, een toelating heeft bekomen van SABAM(als men maar betaalt is voor SABAM alles ok)om deze plaat te persen,maar geen valabele overeenkomst hebben met de eigenaar van dit werk!tenzij met een fictieve(nep)overeenkomst.
  20. I couldn't find the previous thread about people who'd bought records thinking it was top notch single only to find they'd paid for a lemon....... Here's one you'd need to read carefully before parting with hard earned cash
  21. Bit of trivia, group contains James Wright, ex Spellbinder..................
  22. Well, we're all aware how many labels/artists tried to copy Motown, the most successful black operated label of all time. Berry Gordy was very fast on his feet if he suspected plagiarism, he won court settlement against Curtis Mayfield for "Can't satisfy" and stopped the release of "Baby reconsider" because of a threat of court action, as far as I know this didn't happen to this tune, thanks heavens. I always thought CC looked a bit like a Supreme member. What's really interesting (well to me anyway) is that Heartaches away is a Super K production, these were the Kasenetz Katz people who went onto huge success with Bubble Gum.
  23. Another artist that recorded on Vando was Art Robins, he's still around living in Syracuse, you can actually see him on YouTube singing live, old soul numbers. Not even his son knows much about him............
