John Reed

Although I wasn't around at the time, to me it doesn't really feel like a 70's record. I'd say more like 81/82.

Thought Ian got them from Jesse Butler himself

The "2nd" issue always seemed to be offered between 25 - 50% lover than the "1st" issue

My Bobby Kline beats you in price, but your Bobby Garrett beats me on bpm's. I want a pack.

No wonder other dance scenes and forums mock Soul Source for being up its own a*se. The LP vs 7" debate is the evil twin of the OVO debate. LP tracks have the same validity as the 7" and no one should ever look down on someone playing one or the other. There are some LP's that are 10 times rarer and higher in price compared to the 7" releases, and they're not always higher because of LP only tracks. Saying that some LP's have a lower sound quality and maybe different track lengths or mixes, but still say a 7" shouldn't trump it just because it has a 7" release. For me there are quite a few tracks that I prefer on LP and 12" than 7". It should be about personal taste.

IMO it aint that much cop, the soundtracks 100 times better

He only did Can't Let You Go/I Hired A Girl, the others were done by Gary Sherman

Thought Gladys Knight & the Pips - You Broke Your Promise on Fury was before 1962, he arranged that.

He definately got around over the years. Would this help? https://scafricanamerican.com/honorees/view/2005/10/ I'd like to know how he got linked up with the Stax guys in the late 60's and why he didnt do more. I suppose royalties from YMCA significantly changed his life and his bank balance.

Theres one for sale on John Manship's web site at the moment

Nah, it looks just black and white. The blue and the silver issue, now that looks classy. Two issues went through eBay lasy year, were they both from the same seller?

You need to change the file extension and remove the braketed number

Dave, sorry I didn't for fill my promise as today was the first chance I had to look through my 7" boxes.

There's a French seller called Crazy-Records on CD&LP, who i'm assuming is the same guy. He's poached a popsike picture of an original and added it to his listing. Naughty boy....

Peter, There was a P-vine CD release a few yerars ago which had unreleased + all the tracks on the LP except Troubled Child and The Show Must Go On, but thats quite rare and expensive. If you look on Amazon, it says that the LP will be availiable for mp3 download on 4th September....... Stone me for saying mp3

But it is the more common one.......

There nothing novelty about the other side. I'll Show You is a fantastic record and IMO one of the best releases not only for William Bell, but for Stax too.

Steve, John Ridley mentions it on his web site under Timmy Shaw, sadly no picture and its listed on Richard Domar's web site, but don't know if its still available https://www.domarrecords.co.uk/usaorig3.htm

My ideal soul night would have "soul music"Â of course, free beer and nibbles with the dance floor full of nubile young women in cropped tops and hot pants, who are openly attracted to fat, balding blokes in glasses who talk about nothing but soul music.

Yep there are. The Demo of Just Because Your Love Is Gone is also in both layouts too.

Ian, If no one comes up with a scan you can borrow mine and scan it, if you want? My scanner is too small to copy the whole sleeve. Cheers, John

Seems the numbering restarts when the address' change. I looked up both addresses on Google maps and the Shotwell Street address brings up a house and the other address seems to be scrubland in the next street along. The 101/102 make sense as they're each side of his first Ronn single and maybe he was more involved with Barbara West than I had originally supposed.

Well this one popped up into my browser today and this version is a new one to me (suppose we can't know everything). Its b/w Toussaint McCall Nothing Takes The Place Of You. https://www.45cat.com/label/nu-sound It's a different mix/recording to the Barbara West named release on Ronn with an organ replacing the distinctive guitar and sounds earlier and I don't know if the McCall song is different to the Ronn release either. The address on the label is 713 Goldman Street, Monrow, LA and if you look on a map its smack bang in the middle between Shreveport and Jackson, so looks good to me. Was this Toussaint McCall's label, when did this come out and is there release 101 or any other later releases? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, John

Do you think the person who bought it, would lend me some money? I'd pay it back honest, gov............

I'm convinced its the boot/reissue from a few years back. They all seemed to have dodgy colour and the label's not stuck on true in the dink. Heres a picture from popsike. https://www.popsike.c...0513748979.html
