Soul-slider

About 5 years ago, I received a CD of unissued Motown stuff from a good friend of mine who has a great contact in the States. I've had unissued stuff from him before on tapes when CD was'nt invented! Anyway, to cut a long story short...'My Dear Heart' is on the CD as EDNA WRIGHT...apparently Rita's sister.....

Thanks for that Philippe!! Great stuff.

Thanks for that info. Not useless at all, interesting facts. I read on an album sleeve (Northern Soul Story 7) that John Oates was a band member, also suggests that the band were of mixed race so I guess not 100% blue eyed soul then! It's a great little tune aint it. Love these kinda tunes, especially when there's a 'fame' connection. Like you, i'm looking for one at the right price (whatever that is).

Basically, Marvin & Kim are actually sitting in the chairs, as opposed to two empty seats! I do normally collect USA L.Ps, but these 2 albums are just better in the UK format.

Yes, only came out on UK. Came out as different title (My Guy) and not so good cover in the USA but same set of songs. Fab on the UK issue, great cover!!! Also, look out for Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston - 'It Takes Two' UK release l.p....far superior cover than the bland USA one!

Reasonable price for this (blue eyed?) dancer...

Seen it on ebay once or twice, maybe someone on here will have a copy for sale for you hopefully, good luck. John

Just dug my copy out and it's got the same sticker, white sticker, black lettering. Also, my copy of Johnny Dixon is on 'Boss' , not Sport as I thought....obviously same stable as Sport as they are practically identical!

Thought you could only get it on the 'Kool Kat' 12" sample l.p released in the 80's with some other unissued Detroit stuff on it????

Appreciations is yellow on issue, I remember seeing one now, £75 about 18 months ago at a V.I.P record fair. How many releases alltogether?

Hey, my mate got a sniper (cost him £12, I think)...he claims it worked for a while then started to let him down.... ...looks like I'll be buying Dean Parrish off you THEN!!! Reasonable price though eh?

There's one the bay now (Boom original), 1 and half hour to go and i'm in the lead!

Been trying to get Dean Parrish for ages off the bay....so it's YOU who keeps outbidding me then!!!

Yes! Now you've just reminded me, I do have an Appreciations (There's A Place In My Heart) on white demo. Only seen white demos of these, got mine off Ian Clark. Are these harder on issue then, and what colour would they be? Are there any red ones? Bet they look good.. Got Johnny Dixon (orange), Four Sonics (yellow), Four Sonics (light blue), Dramatics (yellow), Appreciations (white)....and maybe some more but can't think at the moment.

No, sorry mate...never seen a white demo. I've only got the yellow issue. In fact, I've got quite a few of the Sport's but all issues, no white demos.

Aint it 'Dramatics' on Sport 'All Beacause Of You' ????

Yes, and did you notice the flip 'Frank Wilson' is a slightly different cut than the one released in 1979...

Sold one for £60 about 7 years ago! Got another for £40 (Mick Smith) and have been offered £80 (in trades) last year. So....£60, £40, £80.....take yer pick

Never seen this Radiants but I have got 'i'm Glad I'm The Loser' on Chess 2037 backed with 'Hold On'. What's 'Shadow Of A Doubt' like then?

Yeah, that's the one, cheers Matt. Jesse owens was first black man to win it/race it then??? I know he did something special??

I've a load of Funk 45s (probably a shoe box full) some rare stuff, I think. Had them years. Anyone got any Northern to trade me for it???

Don't know much about the 'Keep The Faith' slogan but it is used in all manner of contexts and is a fairly well known 'phrase' not exclusive to the soul scene. Fits well with what you said though. The fist is obviously the 'right on' fist that black brothers in the sixties (late sixties?) used to show each other (remember the black runner, Jesse Owens i think was his name doing it at the Olympics in Germany?) something to do with 'black power' aint it?

On a Northern tip, General Assembly....'Sensitive Mind'.....great guitar licks in the breaks!!!!

Has anyone heard the vocal by The Razor's Edge....better as an instrumental!
