Yes very sad news 😥 I'll second all that John 😊 special people, special place n fantastic music..... The horti is what grasped my ( and baz) appetite t hear summat different 😘😘 Xx shelly 😍 xx

Thanks for the kind words! Just to follow-up on some of the conversation, The honest truth is that the sales at Juno were not per our plan and kind of have us scrambling. No drama, just a miscommunication. I'm unsure if they have more stock that they'll be selling after our official release date or if they sold out the other day. Regardless though we won't be able to restock them. Our promo copies are a limited run and come with a press sheet that includes a short group bio, info about the label, social media links etc. We've done a very small run-size of the label variation and the lions share are sent out for free to Canadian independent radio stations, influential bloggers, and DJs ahead of the official release date. The balance we sell at a premium price ($20 CAD) to try and offset the cost of the free ones. Obviously we don't need to do a label variant to send a record to a blogger, but we're all pretty caught up in collecting soul 45s ourselves and like to pay homage to form. We do intend to release an LP compilation of our 45s once we've got a few more records to fill it, is that interesting to you? Would you prefer to see full-lengths from individual groups?

I got a copy from Juno this week....

Be thankful--the chances of you getting an original are pretty much nil--if you can find one, you'll pay up the wazoo! #iknowfromexperience

There is a great podcast on mixcloud, dean Anderson'sTNT show with Stuart , well worth a listen !. 🎶 he's a geezer and half.👍

Wow that was incredible stuff!

Cannot wait for this! So many incredible songs...feels like a real privilege to see a singer of this calibre. Exclusive show just adds further excitement to what promises to be a very memorable evening.

I'm afraid it looks like a load of old tosh - Cliff Richard for goodness sake!

Is he not the phantom janitor?😷

I purchased the "reissue" (??) of the Saru album "Super Bad" by The O'Jays in the mid 80's, with the same tracks in the same order, very poor info in the labels and sleeve, different cover art and label, Upfront records and without title, called simply "The O'Jays". My favorite track is "Little Brother" on wich there's a nice wisthle part.

Hi Cleveland Smith, Ragland's name isn't in the sleeve notes acknowledgements. There is a deal of information on the Out of Sights whose picture is featured on the front. They cut just the four records , eight sides in all of which seven are on this compilation. Ragland was the arranger with Calvin Brown on official producer duties . I think Ragland did a pretty good job with the Out of Sights, especially on 'I Was Wrong' (Saru 1616), (Saru 1618). All their recorded material dates from early 1970. Unfortunately two members of the group were drafted that year and the group temporarily disbanded. The world is still waiting for the reunion. The group who recorded consisted of the following: Michael Booth (high tenor), Stan Reeves, Gregory Still, Kenny Brewer , John Wilson , Calvin Brown (guitar and bandleader)

wow, lovely

he did a gig in Blackpool and covered Dolly Parton

The purple has to do with the original Soul label and yes like the test pressing. We saw it pressed a few days ago.

i wonder how many other celebrities are buying rare soul vinyl, guess this is a good result for the city, better on display there than stuck in in some box in a posh mansion in UK :-)

I think this is the fourth set of demos on George Jackson. I've got the first one and volume three. That's forty eight demos from a soulful singer and some fine musicians. In all honesty that's enough for me. As these are demos Jackson doesn't always sing that well and the famous horn section is missing. These were meant for other singers to select those songs that suited them not necessarily George Jackson. Surely one volume (not four) of the best demos was all that was needed. There's absolutely no juice left in the peaches by this stage.

Must see
