You missed 'Tommy Turner' 625

Where do we order? Regards.

Just finished 'Black Doves'. It was OK, full of action but a bit daft at times (ie: never any cops about even though the London streets were awash with shootings!). This is not a spoiler...I felt sorry for the little girl (Kiera Knightly's daughter) in the last episode, she got a Spurs shirt for Christmas (...and I'm a Spurs fan 😆).

I was there, I remember thinking the same as you. It was a big sound in King's Lynn too for some reason! I guess it does have a nice bassy R&B Jazz mid-tempo beat to it.

That's it thank you sir! I should have got that, it's in my collection! AGE....

A mate asked me about a record. He only had the very beginning on a tape. The thing is I know it! I've forgotten what it is though? Female mid-tempo Northern Soul. Pretty sure it was on a Kent LP years ago too? Here's the first lines... "Boy I love you and you know it, I've tried so very hard to show it, everything I did, I did to make you smile, you've got me acting like a little child. Though you want her love, you can't forget my love..." Please put him...and me out of our misery! TIA.

I'd agree with that Mal.

Good catches! I noticed (years ago) that the Shelley Fabares also has the same b-side as Lorraine Silver's 45, 'I Know You'll Be There'.

Blackpoolsoul has posted a sound file (youtube) of the yellow labelled Emblem 45 a few posts above yours. It is the same recording as the 'live' LP but for a few differences. The first difference I notice is the very start and elongated horns after the initial organ starts, the horns are shorter on the LP. I'll have another proper listen and compare but the longer horns possibly explain the 5 seconds added time on the 45?

There seems to be no sound-file or youtube clips available of the yellow labelled Emblem 101 so only owners of that particular 45 know for sure, and there doesn't seem to be many of those around! Obviously you are one Gaz? Any chance of a soundfile/WAV or MP3?

Johnny Olenn is the same as Charles Lamont, NOT the Johnny Hamilton track. Regards.

Like buses, you wait for ages then 2 come at once! 😆

As promised here is the interview with Johnny Few from the 'Hey Baby Days' book. Apologies for the images but had to take with my phone camera, hopefully it is readable.

I have the book. I'll find the Johnny Few interview later today.

The 'Charms Unlimited' 45 (Emblem 109, also used on the Soul Supply LP)...

'Live' LP cut, supposedly the yellow Emblem 101 release...

Yes, I spotted that Soul Incorporated track on the 'Untouchables' LP, it was the other version by 'The Charms Unlimited' on the red/white Emblem label wasn't it Mal? I think they were the same group, just 2 different recordings of that tune.

This is a nice 'blue-eyed' NS tune, I've never seen a copy for sale though.

45cat info, someone claims there are at least 3 different bootlegs! https://www.45cat.com/record/nc202221us

Wow, never knew it existed, never heard it.

Their version of 'You Beat Me To The Punch' is exquisite.

I liked it so much, I have both the US and UK releases. The UK was a real tough one to find.

The Temptations - With A Lot O'Soul. One of the best from Motown.

Don't forget this one...

I know it was played 1980(ish) at a few NS nights (in East Anglia anyway). Before that I really don't know.
