butch won the copy that was on ebay

I just emailed someone I know affiliated with the group to ask if he knew what the deal was

that's from his solo LP that p-vine reissued I think. I think it was his label called aladdin, then aladdin west, then he shortened it to alwest.

there's also one more smoke label from the bay area (mantis on smoke)

thanks for responding. What show is the footage from, any where I can get a copy or is it online somewhere, etc.?

What is the footage of the group performance with the nude girl dancing that it is at the end of Mike's video compilation from?

Hi. Today on my radio show I interviewed Cecil Lyde aka Cecil Holden. Cecil was a singer and musician that came out of the Evanston music scene. Cecil was related to members of the Foster Brothers and he first performed at a talent show at the Club Delisa when he was only 11 years old. In junior high school Cecil formed a vocal group with Bruce Fisher, Larry Fisher, Ricky Giles, and Sam Jackson; the group called themselves the Cavaliers and performed in local talent shows. After leaving high school, Cecil worked at different record companies on record row, singing backup on bigger groups' records and writing songs. In the late 60s, Cecil joined the air force and went overseas. On returning in 1970, Cecil, the Fisher Brothers, and Ricky Giles got together to sing again, working with Chess records' producer Charles Stepney doing advertising jingles. Cecil ran into his friend Dudley Fair who had another local Evanston group called the Soul Experience that had just broken up. Dudley brought Cecil and Larry Fisher to sing in the new version of the group called Experience II. Experience II was not just a vocal group but a self contained band; musicians included Jerry Soto, Barry Collins, Tudy Bryson, and Bobby Stringer. The group performed in the Chicago area and, via manager Paul Gallis and Maury Lathowers, signed to Capitol records (the same label that Maury had previously helped sign Evanstonian Patti Drew to). Although the group recorded six songs, they only released one single: "Bout time that I told you baby" / "Freedom train" on Capitol in 1973. The group broke up shortly after the single was released. Cecil left Chicago to go to LA to pursue music further. At the time Bruce Fisher started working as a songwriter, writing for such artists as Billy Preston, the Blackbyrds, and Quincy Jones. Cecil co-wrote a record, "At the end of a love affair", that was released by Bruce Fisher on United Artists. Bruce helped Cecil, along with Larry Fisher, and Rick Giles, get a deal with United Artists. Although they recorded an entire LP, only one single -- "I'll always love you" / "Serve me right to suffer" -- got released as Lyde, Fisher, & Giles on United Artists' Hab subsidiary. The group soon broke up after the release of the single. Cecil recorded and released more music on his own Alwest label. He released a solo album called Stone Free that was recently reissued by the P-Vine record label out of Japan. He then released a couple more LPs and a single under the name Home Boy and the COL. He continues to record and release both Gospel and R&B music today.

what's so awesome is that i went to google and typed in belita woods and it auto-completed "foolish girl" meaning that many other people have been typing that into google

vaguely related, here's a weird quinvy production (tony borders on uni), if you're interested in collecting related things: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=250305140055

i like john cage better than john cale anyways so it's all good

i hope this post is a joke ...

you know this is curtis johnson's (of the Astors) group from Memphis, members of the group were later the CQCs on Funk Factory / QCA. A bio is here: https://www.curtisj.com/BroUnltd.htm

I sent it to him like at least a month ago or more, I will send it to you tonight. peace.

if it's a modern track, it might monofide - time will change your mind on emvee. That is detroit. It's not female backing vocals, though, it's guys singing falsetto.

His prices on something like a random atlantic 45 are based on people buying them as collection fillers, etc., as most random atlantic 45s should probably really be $1 but nothing on his site is $1. You can still find some sellers on Gemm as a better source for things like that. It's fair game for him to do that, though, he has enough stock that he can price stuff at a premium and still make money off of people looking for a specific item (rather than just generally buying). I did actually have a bad experience recently, I saw he had ocie iii on CIM with the flip on his website for like $20. I had never seen it with the flip before and I bought it as a random chicago title. He emails me saying they can't find it. 6 months later it shows up on their auction. That was pretty lame I thought. I didn't know it would go for $500 either, I just bought it (or at least tried to buy it) because I hadn't seen it before. Did they really lose it and then find it later and just decide to auction it? Also, the person doing their auctions is very unknowledgable and lists total garbage, misinformation, the wrong sides (or has audio clips only of the bad sides, or the audio clip cuts off before the chorus and you can't tell if there's a group), etc. At this point they seem to have built up a following of people specifically looking for the types of things they auction (e.g. "boogie" records, etc.), but I think they alienate a lot of real collectors with their listings, and it's always amusing when there are common records or just terrible records listed that get no bids. They had a bootleg of linda jones 'hypnotized' up recently with a different artist on the flip, description was something like 'rare one for her', I emailed them saying that it was a bootleg and they took it down. How could anyone who knows anything about soul music think that hynotized is the 'rare' record by linda jones?

Is the fads on blue rock definitely unreleased? I found one of the group members and he doesn't remember much (I don't think he even remembered being on mercury, although he remembers the songs and his name is in the writing credits) and I just want to confirm that it also wasn't on blue rock. Thanks.

the chancellors on chamus at least sounds like they were trying to be a soul group, the main change 45 doesn't sound like they even were attempting to be soul

unless you were very wealthy, it would be too expensive to buy like random atlantic from him on the 'classic' labels, you would probably have to hit someone who had dead stock of titles nobody cared about or hit record shows or buy bulk lots, etc., and then you could use moorer to fill in holes.

Craig Moorer's prices have steadily been increasing also which is annoying. It used to be high only on known big ticket items but you could get oddities relatively cheap. Over the last two years even those have gone away. The last thing I regret not buying from him was the magicians "love lets try it again" for $150, I was like "I need that but I'll get it cheaper if it ever comes up on ebay", the next week it finally hits ebay and goes for $500.

the bacon fat group is actually the tymes. It was long rumored to be the tymes and on soulfuldetroit one of the tymes members recently confirmed it. the 20th century group is from chicago. I don't know where the fraternity or ballad group is from.

you're not gonna get the differences on a limited budget. you could get the other ones though.

I'm pretty sure I sent this to richard already, I can send it to you if you want.

also 5 miles high on chess I think

just email them, it takes about a day but they always respond. The one time they missed my payment it was also via paypal (you can also pay them directly via credit card if you want).

did you get the shipping confirmation email? They always send a shipping email saying when it was shipped. If not, they may have not noticed your payment, that happened to me once and I had to email them. I have ordered from them probably 50-100 times though and not gotten anything lost. They are also a big warehouse with multiple employees, it usually takes them a few days to ship after their order, but they always send the confirmation email.
