i think i'm wrong and that he had a different lennan title up

i think kevin cox had one on ebay in the last few years but i could be remembering wrong

they have two 45s on drive, I think it's the same number but with two flips. I have the more common one, it's a straight temptations "wish it would rain" ripoff. They actually are the same group as on avco despite it not being listed that way in the soul harmony singles book, Jeff Lemlich posted the info somewhere once.

yes, same group as on brent / deep city who also later recorded as the prolifics

i was reading this thread a couple of days ago and everyone was saying "this is the greatest track ever" and i was getting confused, like "this is soul source, where are all the haters?" I'm glad it's almost back to normal, we still need some "It's total shite!" posts to set things right.

they borrowed the acetate from clarence reid from the comp and it was totally messed up, like the metal was about to flake off of it and the guy doing mastering worked miracles. the flip was a really nice sweet soul cover of a clarence reid and the delmiros doowop track.

if the yellow copies are real originals, they should be worth more as they are rarer and the bronze copies are styrene and hissy a lot

my info comes from howard pittman of the 5 chances. maybe they sing on only some of her records, I don't know.

is the yellow label vinyl? the bronze is styrene in all the cases i've seen but i have a later record of theirs on a yellow label that is vinyl.

it's not just philly sounding, though, it's written and produced by philly people though ... obviously the same is true for executive suite. I'm sure you know this, I'm just noting it.

random info: she was a chicago artist (like many king/federal artists) and the backing singers on her records are the five chances

the boston cobra had a release by the energetics as well as the energies

I think the executive suite version was first. It was the hit version. I always assumed the amibtions was a cover. I also think the ambitions are not a philly group but I could be wrong. Soul harmony singles book lists both records as 1974 but I think it lists the executive suite as 1/1974

no it was early 60s, there are two intruders 45s on gowen and those two are their first 45s.

the early intruders 45 are on GOWEN

what was I thinking, he not only says 'batman watusi' in the record but he says the guy is from the 'funny books'. either way, it still sounds good, if anyone figures out if this is released (I don't think so), let me know.

I don't think so, Gene Barge thought she was from not Chicago and part of a girl group. I can ask Jo Ann Garrett about it. I still have not called Raynard Miner to ask him (I have never talked to him before and I have to call someone to get his number). I will try to do it sooner. Thanks.

i must have misheard (I can't listen at work now). i agree 'batman' is sort of cheesy. still was soulful though, obviously not an amazing record, just a nice sounding rarity for me (e.g. like the pretenders 'temptation walk').

it was a FAT MAN record not a BAT MAN record, right? there was a dance called the FAT MAN that had nothing do with BATMAN. why is everyone saying it is a Batman record? Am I not hearing the record correctly? I doubt it was released also, I would probably know a record like this.

no one here had a problem with the larks the penguin that manship sold recently. if anyone wants to sell me the pretenders temptation walk for cheap because it is so horrible, feel free to pm me.

sounded soulful to me. anyways, my opinion about what's northern doesn't matter, it sounded like a good song to me though. i guess others must have agreed with all of you though. thanks.

I was the second bidder, I was sure more northern DJs would see this and bid it up. Sounded very LA / Larks-ish. Anyone know if this was a released record? I don't think so: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=190269532440

like I said, I did get my record this time around (I'm talking about this latest auction that people here are talking about) but it was after paypal refunded and like 2 months later and after I left voicemails, etc.. so he's still around. he never actually responded to anything. i repaid him after i got the record.

that ebay seller is not really a conservative grader either

I'm bumping this because not only was it an interesting interview but because I want people to check out Kennis' myspace. I think he is interesting in people contacting him about his new music. Thanks.
