Pete, One other thing - the link you posted, is it the actual CD with the track on - or just showing the series it's part of? If the latter, can you name the volume the track is on? Cheers

No difference at all Pete, I just wondered if you were avoiding the question. But your earlier answer - after my comment was a good enough explanation for me. I hope it didn't upset you?

Pete, Are you saying that you don't actually have this CD, just a copy? Is that why you don'y have any title details etc?

Cheers Tony for confirming that! ">

I did know but forgot, just what CD this track was originally from? Wasn't it some sort of Motown acappella album? Can someone remind me please... great track by the way!!

That's just what I was thinking Gav... It gets so complicated when we start pigeon holing things Why don't we all call it 'Just soul' and leave it at that!

First thoughts are that Bettye did it first, but I do know of other versions, so maybe not? Anyone know different? To answer your other question - Bill Harris on RCA

As I remember it - it was the earlier release on Nasco by Brothers, Sisters and Cousins which got most of the plays of "Smoke Stream", not the Bits and Pieces version This one was also re-issued on the silver label same as the other Bits and Pieces release mentioned earlier Anyway, regarding "Did I scare you" - I have a demo copy with "Smoke Stream" on the flip side, so it looks as though there are two different demo copies (at least) of this 45.

Just thought I'd re-post the show playlist with Sean's list ammended as there were quite a few typos amongst it - probably Mick was struggling to read Sean's handwriting? ( ) Soul Discovery 19.10.08 The Four Tops "Baby I need your loving" (Motown) The Four Tops "Where did you go" (Tamla) The Four Tops "Clip my wings" (Motown) Reggie Boone "Liv'in life ain't easy" (Contact Perk) Extra Rich in Class "Gimme a chance" (Ericeh) T.P.O.B "Forever" (Promo) The Chestnut Brothers "Mountain love" (Promo) Ladeana Michelle "From dollars to dimes" (DM) Robert Owens ""Show me your face" (Heavenly Creative) Reggie Boone "Love one other" (Contact Perk) T.P.O.B "Rub you down" (Promo) David Brinston "Sometime you win some" (Ecko) Roy Hightower "Don't feel sorry for yourself" (CDS Promo) Play-List from my Special Guest Sean Hampsey Soul Children "Midnight Sunshine" (Epic) Chuck Armstrong "How sweet it is" (Sound Stage 7) Creative Source "You're too good to be true" (Sussex) Rosey Grier "How I miss you baby" (United Artists) Little Buster "What can I do" (Bullseye) Ann Peebles "Give me some credit" (Hi-Memphis) Bobby McClure "To get what you got" (Hi-Memphis) McKinley Mitchell "This place ain't getting no better" (Sandman) Little Milton "Man loves two" (Checker) Peggy Scott/Jo Jo Benson "I can say no" (Atco) Aaron Neville "Been so wrong" (Island) Samuel E.

Or just the same title?

Just thought it fitting seeing as you announced it as by Bobby McClure! Anyway, here's a few things you'll hear if you missed it: (you did say the cheque was in the post didn't you?

I wasn't aware until I read this that she'd been ill. But a quick Google confirms she'd been in hospital for some time now and checking out Sister Dionne's website is a message stating she had indeed passed away on Saturday morning! https://www.dionnewarwick.info/mesg.html Yep, another sad day - Dee Dee was also one of my fave singers...

And what a show it was! Some lovely tunes played - as to be expected really

This might be the version mentioned above as on a Spanish EP? I have it on a Portuguese EP: Diana Ross &The Supremes 'Join The Temptations' EP A side: I'm gonna make you love me I'll try something new B side: A place in the sun Then Tamla Motown 2013 (Portugal) ****************** It has the same cover as the LP:

Hey Sebastian: There's a slight mistake on this one, it should be: "Lovin' Feeling" Nice tune it is too!

My copy is also on Innervision II Didn't we discuss this earlier on in the year on Soul Talk Steve? There's a few releases on the label which use 'Innervision' and others 'Innovation' - but without digging them out I can't remember which is which. Here's examples of both spellings: Also If I remember correctly, didn't you say there are some releases on both spellings... or am I just confusing it with the Warner Bros releases?

I'd not heard of the 'shorter' version of the Sheridan House 7" either! I only knew of the one at around 4 minutes and of course both of the 12" releases. Here's some clearer scans of a couple of them... for posterity! That 'other' version Ady talks about does sound intrigueing though I must admit - let us (all) know if you find out anything about it won't you Ady?

Here's an original issue: Here's the boot: The boot also has a different flip side to the original issue: This was of course an Epic records release I don't have a scan of the original demo to post up though. Hope this helps

Great show Shaun This one has been bugging me since the last time you played it... I knew it, but couldn't think why! Now I've remembered - it's on the LP by Barbara Blake & the Uniques - also on 20th Century But the title is slightly changed to "Supermen" and it's more uptempo compared to this one. But both are good really! Also on the Lp you get another goodie called "Patching up the wound" But you probably knew this already didn't you?... Oh, that Marvin track straight after Patti - "God Is Love" - that intro to it just reminds me of something else - but I'll probably spend the next few days or more trying to remember what! Looking forward to Brett - and of course Bob 'The crate' this weekend

Just spotted this thread, I'm sure I have some knocking about I went there most bank holidays from around 1974 ish right up to the mid 80's. Every 'Session' in the Salisbury then the Four Seasons / Rudies afterwards. Those were the days eh... I'll have a look for you and see what there is

I've wondered about that one before Dave, I have the one with "Broomstick horse cowboy" - the first release and also the LP on Sonet with it on. The only difference in those - as far as I can tell, is the LP version is in stereo Don't know about the other release though... Lovely record though isn't it!

Just a quick question: Bobby Cutchins - Leaving (Soul Junction) I know this also was issued in the States on Lasso - but was it before or after the Soul Junction release? Just curious...

Just curious, I also have a coloured DJ copy as pictured above which I would have picked up not long after the 'black and white" ones turned up. Are there any 'regular' issues of the coloured ones? For the life of me I can't remember if I've seen any or not

Sean - Just 'found' the tape itself... actually you did it around 16th of January 1993 So it's not all that long ago really is it? (15 1/2 years) Titled "Some serious soul" - - - seriously...
