John Reed

Blimey, I missed that one. I don't remember it as a US 7" release but I do know it as a Dutch 3 track CD with I Need You/One Of Them Thangs/One Bad Turn. If you could did it out I'd be eternally grateful.

I thought the Watch Me Now LP had some great tracks and many of the Lynn White LP's had great moments too. I do have to say that for me release 3008 - David Hudson - Just A Feeling/Lets Get Back Together is IMO the best double-sider on the label and possibly of the 80's. Its remained a personal favourite of mine since I bought it as a new release.

Some George Jackson, well who wouldn't....

This is one of my favourite Otis Clay Hi recordings, just so much dispair and an LP track to boot.......

I've been going through my Waylo singles and looked to see if there was a discography about on the net and when i couldnt find one I decided to build one. 100 - Lynn White - Slow & Easy/Gonna Be Some Changes Made 101 - Billy Always - Two Wrongs (Don't Make It Right)/Just Not Enough (Don't Make It Right) 102 - Lanier And Co. - I Don't Know (What To Do About You)/Super Lady 103 - ?? - ??/?? 104 - Perry Michael Allen - Music All The Time/Turn On The Music 105 - ?? - ??/?? 106 - ?? - ??/?? 107 - ?? - ??/?? 108 - Willie Mitchell - More Carols By The Fireside/Happy New Year Medley (12" Only?) 109 - ?? - ??/?? 110 - ?? - ??/?? 111 - ?? - ??/?? 112 - ?? - ??/?? 113 - ?? - ??/?? 114 - Billy Always - Didn't We Do It/More Than A Minute 115 - ?? - ??/?? 116 - ?? - ??/?? 117 - ?? - ??/?? 118 - Lynn White - I Don't Ever Wanna See Your Face Again/I'd Rather Be (Blind, Cripple, Crazy) (Also released as Sho Me 516) 119 - Billy Always - It's So True/My First Love (12" released as 33109 - My First Love/Instrumental) 120 - ?? - ??/?? 121 - ?? - ??/?? 122 - Billy Always - Do That To Me One More Time (Edited Version)/Do That To Me One More Time (Edited Version) 123 - ?? - ??/?? 124 - Billy Always - Take Me To The River/Same? 125 - Lynn White - Anyway The Wind Blow/If You Can't Come Home For Chrismas 126 - Lynn White - You Gonna Make Me Cry/Down On Me 3000 - Lynn White - All Because Of Your Love/Blues In the Bedroom 3001 - Billy Always - Just Not Enough/Ain't Nothing But A Heartache 3002 - Antonio - Don't You Want My Love/Another Lonely Night 3003 - Lynn White - Get Your Lie Straight/Baby For You 3004 - Lanier And Co. - Lets Go For It/Instrumental 3005 - Billy Always - I Do Don't You/Instrumental 3006 - Lynn White - I Can't Give You What You Want/Don't Let Success (Turn Your Love Around) 3007 - Perry Michael Allen - Music All The Time/Highway 3008 - David Hudson - Just A Feelin/Lets Get Back Together 3009 - Lynn White - Take Your Time/Down The Line 3010 - Billy Always - Let Your Body Rock/Let Your Body Rock - Dub Mix 3011 - Lanier And Co. - Dancing In The Night/Part 2 3012 - David Hudson - Now that Love Is Gone/Stay With Me 3013 - Lynn White - See You Later Bye/Don't Quit 3014 - David Hudson - You Make Me Feel (So Good Inside)/Love In The Fast Lane 3015 - Lynn White - I'm Gonna Find Me A Lover Tonight/Sorry 3016 - Joyce Cobb - Another Lonely Night (Without You)/Love Can 3017 - J J Daniels - Wonderful World/Instrumental 3018 - Lanier And Co. - I Don't Know (What To Do About You)/Afraid Of Losing You (Was this 12" only?) 3019 - Lynn White - Your Woman Is home Tonight/Love Me Like You Do 3020 - David Hudson - Send Her Back/That's What Dreams Are Made Of 3021 - Jackie Ross - I'm Gonna Make It Without You/Selfish One 3022 - Lynn White - Hooked On Your Love/He'll Leave You For Her 3023 - Otis Clay - Two Roles (Don't Make It Right)/I Do, Don't You? 3024 - M-Team - Rolling Samurai/Instrumental 3025 - Ann Peebles - Call Me/I Wont Let Your Heart Roam 16000 - M-Team - Can You Kick It Like This/Black By Popular Demand - (12") 16001 - David Hudson - The Best Is Yet To Come/Dream Come True - (CD Single 1991) I'm again coming to Soul Sauce to see if anyone can help me with errata's and omissions and like before I have some questions. I have quite a few missing numbers early on, can you help me fill them? The Willie Mitchell release I have as 108, actually has a release nunmber of 33108, i've assumed that the 33 is due to it getting a 12" release as the Billy Always 119 release was also released as a 12" as 33109. Did the Willie Mitchell get a 7" release? Lynn White's 118 release was originally on Sho Me. Do any of my missing numbers relate to other re-issues of previously released tracks? The Billy Always release 124 Take Me To The River, I have as a single sided demo, did it get issued with another song on the other side? I have release 3018 as a 12" release of Lanier & Co, this was around the time of the Syncopate/3-Way deals, did this actually get a Waylo re-release?

I'm doing fine. A June Edwards EP seems a great idea and I'll have to start putting the pennies away for these future releases. Everybody probably knows about this, but for those who may not. Pete Nickols has written various indepth articals on the Norala and Quinvy studios for John Ridleys Sir Shambling website https://www.sirshambl...articlelist.htm I hope you get significant sales, which I think sadly the Charly set didnt.

Paul, The album series sounds mouthwatering, what format are you considering, LP, CD or both? Is there more unreleased stuff which didn't see the light of day when Charly released their LP series? Cheers, John

She's one of my favourite soul singers of all time with her Fame output IMO at the top of the soul tree and I've been eagerly awaiting this release since it was first mentioned. I'd also like to congratulate the guys at Ace/Kent for their XL/SOM, Goldwax releases. Also the Jimmy Hughes, Swamp Dogg and many other Southern Soul related have been a joy to listen to, bringing some happiness to an old embittered soul fan. I thought my Candi Staton Fame CD craving's were satisfied when the the Honest John CD came out in 2004, but this takes it to another level. I look forward to getting this and the other gems from the vaults of Rick Hall.

Been a big fan of Gene Taylor - You Got My Nose Wide Open/Don't Go Away for a long time. One side a masterpiece of deep soul the other a magic piece of crossover, with Mr Womack at the helm, you can't go wrong can you?

That was my thought as well, thanks for all the additional info

I started to think I'd got it wrong regarding Maurice Williams - Being Without You/Baby Baby, being released as 302. I've just checked again, maybe it got released twice under the old and new numbes? Never heard of those 600 numbers, any chance of an upload into Refosoul?

I'm a massive fan of the mans work as a perfomer and producer. His LP Total Desruction To Your Mind is just an amazing piece of work, with tracks like Synthetic World and I Was Born Blue, are as, or more relevant now than on its release on 1970 (think it was). As Ady mentioned My Resume, on a more slightly lighter note Knowing I'm Pleasing Me And You is a personal favourite of mine. I would recommend the all the Swamp Dogg stuff Kent have released. If you don't like any of them, i'll take them off your hands as doubles

I've never been convinced that putting fragile on a package changes the way its handled or delivered by any of the postal services. Maybe that's just my pessimistic view of postal services in general and that has nothing to do with my view of the competance of any individual person working for them. My postie has done a great job delivering the many parcels and I even got on quite friendly terms with the guys in the holding office in Orpington, when they saw me walk in through the door, they'd smile and scoot off to get my packages..... such nice men

Chalky/Dave, Thanks for the info. Maybe I should go and see if I can get copies of the R&B Indies books to save time and effort, but that then takes the fun out of doing it...... Cheers, John

I've got some time on my hands and i looked to see if there was a disco of Deesu on the web and couldn't find one, so decided to build one, which has left me with a couple of questions. Additions/amendments in Bold 301 - Wilbert Harrison - Clementine/Sentimental Journey 302 - Maurice Williams - Being Without You/Baby, Baby 303 - Daisy Burris - Four Strong Winds/In Love To Stay 304 - Zodiacs - May I (Speak With You)/This Feeling 305 - Warren Lee - Star Review/Waiting For A Bus 306 - Willie West - Greatest Love/Hello Mama 307 - Maurice Williams - Oo Poo Pah Do (Part 1)/Oo Poo Pah Do (Part 2) 308 - Carlton Lee & The Delfonics - Time Heals All Pain/Come On Down 309 - Zodiacs - Don't Ever Leave Me/Surely 310 - Zoofs - Get To Know Yourself/Not So Near 311 - Maurice Williams - Don't Be Half Safe/How To Pick A Winner 312 - Cleto & The Chaparrals - Miner Joe/Campy Stuff 313 - Joe Haywood - Say You Will/Sadie Mae 314 - Willie West - Did You Have Fun/Keep You Mine 315 - Warren Lee - Ever Since I've Been Loving You/Climb The Ladder 316 - Joe Haywood - Play A Cornbread Song For Me And My Baby/I Wanna Love You 317 - Willie West - Face The Music/Baby, Baby I Love You 318 - Maurice Williams & Zodiacs - Live In Concert Stay '68/Live In Concert Dance Dance'68 319 - Buddy Skipper - Restless Breed/Cancel The Reservation 320 - Eldridge Holmes - Now That I've Lost You/Where Is Love 45-300 - Eldridge Holmes - The Book/No Substitute 45-301 - Diamond Joe - Look Way Back/ABC Song 45-302 - Warren Lee - Mama Said We Can't Get Married/A Lady 45-303 - Eldridge Holmes - If I Were A Carpenter/No Substitute 45-304 - ?? - ??/?? 45-305 - Eldridge Holmes - Lovely Woman/What's Your Name 45-306 - Toby King - Operator/Love One Another 1006 - Gospel Cavaliers - You Can't Make It On Your Own/Jesus is waiting 601 - George Porters' Joyride - Cissy Strut/Sneaky Freaky 602 - Gospel Cavaliers - Live My Life/Love One Another I don't have the Daisy Burris, so would like to know what the other side is? I'd like to see if someone has a scan of the Wilbert Harrison release Was release 316 by Joe Haywood the last Deesu release distributed by Dover? I don't have 317/318 and the Buddy Skipper and Eldridge Holmes don't mention Dover even though they're still under the old numbering system. Under the new numbering system I can't seem to find any reference for release 45-304 which is sandwiched between two Eldridge Holmes releases. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated by this sad anorak

Tony that's a really cruel thing to post knowing there's 362 days to wait till the 2012 record store day.

Mine was waiting for me on the mat after being away. What a fantastic release and both the cover and lable look really special.

All eight of the Quiet Elegance singles on Hi, cheap as chips and full of soul. Johnny Moore's Blue Rock stuff wont break the bank either.

I expect some flack on this. I was too young to go to Wigan/Mecca, so wasn't part of the cover-up chasing at the time. I've never liked the concept of the cover-up as I feel its more about raising the profile of the DJ than the record/artist. What's wrong with DJs getting credit and bookings for discovering/playing quality tunes and moving forward? Whatever I think of coverups they will still go on in clubs, but should they have a place on radio shows? I also don't like the cheque book DJ culture. For me its the way the set flows rather than how many expensive records you can fit into one set and it shows that the DJ has thought about their set rather that just a load of dick swinging.

it came out on a UK or New Zealand release of the disco compilation LP called "All Platinum Gold". Dont think the US version has it on it.

Are you completly sure on this, as i think it might be later and I cant remember it being reviewed or played at that time. The the earliest i saw it was on sales lists by Record Corner where i was a regular visitor. There were also Record Corner and John Doe adverts for it in issue 17 of voices which was in 1991. It was also in the last batch of new release 12"s I bought before I gave up buying the last time and that was early 1992. Maybe it was recorded earlier and was only availiable to a select few before more were found and made more available?

Personally I think its an okay tune, that would appeal to people as it has a northern/R&B style backing. But I'm not convinced there is any soulfulness to the vocals and is indistinguishable to many of late 50's early 60's white pop records that were around at the time. It would be be a sad state of affiars if this took priority over playing something soulful just on the merit of it being rare or obscure.

I always thought that the GM releases came first and then either became or was replaced by Bump Shop. The GM numbers can be very confusing and might have originally started out as plate or can reference numbers on the GM releases and then became release number for Bump Shop, as GM 128-1 is on both the GM and Bump Shop records. There's more confusion when looking at the Final Decisions releases on Bump Shop/Love they all have a GM 162 prefix, but have different suffix's: Pusher/Keep On Walking 162-1/162-2 Keep on Walking/Hour Of Your Need 162-AS Pusher/I Feel what you Feel 162-4/162-5 If that didn't add to the confusion the Stix And Stoned release of Rouge Plant Blues has a GM 136-1 on the left hand side of the label. Some, but not all the pressings of this release have the number 131 underneath the artist name, which have been used as the release numbers on the GM discography. So you could say that the number underneath the artist is independent to the release number? Then you get the Turn Of The Century release of Money Cant which has a reference number of A-125-1M and the number 125 under the artist name, which seem to correspond. The Albert Jones release Up To The Sun has a number of GM 153, but under the artist name is the number 9441 on that and the Reflections side. I think there's a lot of confusing information as to what the release numbers are and I'm of the opinion that there is only one release of the Dee Edwards on Bump Shop rather than two.

Its a 7" from 1975 on the New York label Double M. The official A-side is Looking For Something For Nothing, which is a funky thing. Seen it ranging from £20-£75
