Soul-slider

Why? There's been absolutely NO soul for at least 6 months!!! I've finally accepted that they (R.C) hate soul!

Now sorted. Crazy Beat.. £30

Don't forget the superb 'album only' 96 tears great stomper!

Issue / Demo whatever. Anyone?

A mate of mine who runs a Detroit/Motown site (Richie Harding) once told me that Sharon's son contacted him asking if Richie could track down some of his mothers recordings and how much they were going for. I've seen that photo of her. Nice one about the blue's Pete....that's the one I have in my collection (great flip too). Had the UK Staeside...Ely charity shop 25p. Since traded it for some Rocksteady.

Sharon Soul did come out proper on 'blue' Wild Deuce (1001), the red and white ones are a bit rarer but both legit.

Sorry can't help...it's a new one on me too! Nice tune!

Jammy git! And I hate the fact that your team are so much superior than mine

Am I right in thinking he was lead singer with the Royal Jesters?

Yeah, and I sold it/traded to Perry for £40. Funny thing is, I originally got it off Perry for nowt!!! Completely agree with your statement about being played out a couple of times (mainly to an 'always' packed dancefloor whatever...like Skeggy) and sometimes certain of these 'ok' and relatively 'untried' records sound fantastic played out loud . Then it's price-hike! If you go through your collection, I bet you'll find loads that need this exposure and they will be 3 figures no worry.

Think it's all been said. I know Ian quite well and if he is reading this.....Yes Ian I am still alive!! Spurs not doing so good eh? Miss our chats at Norwich record fair.. John (South)

I have a usa copy on sansu (m-) ...pm me an offer if you're still after it. John

Great selection, a man after my own heart...same taste too! Been after E.J & Echoes for ages but to no avail...

...groan. Anyway, found this one on ebay and believe it's the same group because seller say's they are a white doo wop outfit from Louisville, Kentucky.

Completely agree with this statement! Even though I don't like your avatar Ian!!! (oh why oh why are you soooo much better than us... ) BTW Chris..don't get the orange boot...it's terrible sound quality, the orange atco distrubted re-release is superb but I bet you're looking at least £50 for that.

According to 'modernsoulsucks' there are 2 or 3 different groups named the Sultans and I know one of them was an old doo wop group. These guys could be them but I don't know anything except the credits on another release of a Sultans group bears no resemblence to my 45.

A mate found this in L.A, it's a nice R&B flavoured tune with great swinging horns and catchy lyrics. Someone has written on the sleeve 'oddball Kentucky group'. Vocal is very blue eyed. There's a tune by a group of the same name in Tim Brown's guide on the 'Knowles' label @ £200. Don't know if it's the same group or not. Can't find no info at all. Anyone know anything about them or this 45?

That's a great site! Added it to my faves, thanks Shute. Rob, this site say's King 6119 (US)....is the one you've mentioned a UK release or later US release?? I'm confused...!

Yeah, that's the one I'm sure. Now I know what I'm looking for. Thanks Rob, John

Can anyone let me know whether Hank Ballard & The Midnghters 'You're In Good Hands' (a King cut I think)came out as a 45 or is just L.P only? Thanks, John

Hey Simon, can I ask a stupid question? I've loved this sound for years but always been confused by the 2 artists, Frankie Karl & 7th Avenue Aviators...... are they one and the same? Or is it 2 different cuts?

Wow! You'd swear you really WERE in the 60s!!

Impressions ....album only I think 'This Is My Country' (Curtom).

'What's That On Your Finger' - Kenny Carter (Stardust) 'I'm A Lover' - Tommy Hunt (Stardust) 'How Do You Feel Now' - Big Maybelle (Stardust) 3 great tunes!!

Thanks Kev but I reckon other soul-sourcerers beat me to it, they are sold out!! One thing though, I did add your last played clip (Marvin Gaye unreleased) to my playlist...thanks for that!!
