Sad news.

My condolenses to family & friends.

That footage of Bobby singing 'Last 2 dollers' is awesome.

I have only just seen this.

My thoughts are with you Billy.

One of my favourite tunes from a wonderful catalogue has to be 'Careless Heart'

Great night as always

Playlist as follows

Chaka Khan - One for all time (Funk This CD from 2008)

Larry Williams - That's my girl (Ball & Chain various artists LP on Arhoolie - be warned the rest of the LP is more or less straight blues)

Marvell Love - Gotta have love (New World Records)

Jean Battle - I've Got to come in (Clintone)

The El Dorados - Looking in from the outside (Paula)

Vernon Garrett - Love has caught me (Venture)

Jackie Moore - Somebody Loves Me (Kayvette)

Nancy Butts - I Want To Hold Your Hand Baby (I Get Lonely) (Flaming Arrow)

Billy Butler - Careless Heart (Brunswick)

Great sets from Steve,Brian, Kev (complete with chat during records),Ciro & last but certanly not least (Nancy & Pete) puts my megre offering to shame.

Hi Ian

Hope you are soon on the mend.

Never went to Wigan/Mecca  (down to money/logistics etc)but your name was a constant in Blues & Soul in the early 70's.

Pete

A sad loss & my condolenses to his family & close friends.

Did not know him that well & first met him when i shared a caravan with him & others at Fleetwood i think it was (when Frank Wilson was on i believe)

Instantly recognisable, only ever saw him 2/3 times after that (including a charity shop in Huntingdon that he happened to be working in!!!)

Sent him a birthday greeting on Facebook last week for some reason (don't usually bother even with people i know well so that's kind of spooky)

Rest in peace old bean

Pete

Great stuff guys,will be checking these out

Here goes

Heart 2 Heart Band - Mind Your Business Dream City CD (2010)

Bobby Bland - Loneliness Hurts (UK Vocalion LP)

Black Soul Express - When I Left You (Black Soul Express)

Judy Clay - I'm Up Tight (Lavette)

Don 'Sugar Cane' Harris - I'm Gonna Miss You (BASF)(T'other side to the track i played last month,for those that don't know Don was half of Don & Dewey the 50's R&B duo.He also played with Frank Zappa I believe but we will gloss over that)

Laura Lee - Love's Got Me Tired (But I Ain't tired of love) (Ariola America) (one of those titles that make it worth buying without hearing!!!)

Eddie Floyd - I Got a reason To Smile (Cause I Love You) Stax (1974 & one of his that got away)

Pete

ps do i get a prize for spotting the deliberate mistake (i.e.the date should be 3rd August  not July!!!)

Purple Mundi - Stop Hurting Me Baby from a soul bowl pack of Miami 45's is the only one i can recall.

With the benefit of hindsight would have bought many more soul packs as would we all i'm sure!!!!

i am interested in this track.

Let me know if still available/prefered method of payment.

Pete

I AM INTERESTED IN BOTH THESE.

LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO BE PAID.

WON'T SEE YOUR REPLY UNTIL MONDAY WHEN BACK IN THE LIBRARY AGAIN!!!!

PETE

I will buy the Sammy Taylor.

Let me know method of payment.

Will reply again on MONDAY as using Library PC

Pete

Great track Sean - only have it on the Island LP 'The Duke & The Peacock' a fantastic compilation of Duke, Peacock and Sureshot stuff- Mike

I may be wrong but think this was wrongly labeled on the LP & the actual track is something else!!!

Typing this at the Library so will check when I get home.

Pete

i saw him at The Rainbow, Finsbury Park sometime in the early 70's.

The place was only half full & i seem to remember everyone had to move to the front!!!

The band strolled on (guitar bass & drums only) & i thought at first they were the roadies.

Jackie came on & was able to do all his moves,smoke & sing looking the epitome of cool.

All in all an awsemome performance - don't know how it compares to his shows in the 60's though.

Help. As a avid LP collector I'm looking for any publications on Lp's whether it's quarterly or in an annual, can anyone suggest any, most of the one's I've seen have info on 45's, something like the Manships catalogue but for Lp's.

Cheers

Willie

I have a publication called 'Directory Of Soul LP's that I purchase fron Jean Lacomme in July 2000. Not sure if it is still available - if you want the address (or at least what it was in 2000) pm me.

Also have another French publication called 'The Black Female LP's Catalogue & Price Guide' that has a publishing date of 1987.

Pete

He also wrote 'He's A Rebel' by the Crystals. Reminded of this by a Chanel 4 programme called 3 minute wonder (7.55 to 8.00) that was aired only 1/2 hour ago.
