...see now you're just being silly...

There's one born every minute....the really sad thing is that the guy's probably looking forward to DJing with it

Trev I'm really impressed, you've got capital letters, and even full stops. When are you having space bar lessons

Ok Pete, whilst Keanya Collin's voice isn't up there with Linda Jones, she can certainly hold a note or two, when she belts out "....you're something else, I can't stand..." then you know she 's got a talent. The production is subtle and classy, and not untypical of the early 70's Chicago soul of the time (Lovelites etc.) from guys like Johnny Cameron, Carl Davis, Willie Henderson...and of course it's got a beat, so I won't debate that, and as for the lyrics, they're no Purlitzer prize winner, but they tell a simple story over a nice enough melody, nothing too cheesey. I can understand why some might not like it, but come on , it hardly qualifies for your list of pop tunes, it's a soul record for a start.

What was that bloody awful Mickey Mouse Concerto thing, and about the same time there was that Esperanto dirge.....Lord only knows what music market they were aimed at, but welcomed with open arms on this crazy scene by DJs of the day

Come on, Hammie, it's absolute garbage, right down there with The Carstairs and Z.Z & Company

I'm afraid you've got yourself a bootleg there.

Aah, whadayouknow

Cheers So that would explain why Motown wouldn't have released a Fantatstic Four cut

Archie rules

I think it was the going rate - I had to pay 30 for my Lou Pride on Suemi....outrageous

Ah, there you are Rob, I thought you might have some light to shed on this He didn't mention a cut by the Fantastic Four then

It's the Chris Columbus version.....just ahead of Billy Ball & Upsetters, but you can't beat Archie Bell IMO

I'll see what I can do Steve

That would be my guess too Roger Unless they used "Where Do I Go From Here" in their live performances

I've seen this type of comment far too many times, it's just another slight of the bedrock of standards that most of us hold. Playing original release vinyl is one of the standards that is woven into the fabric of our scene, and one that makes our scene so special. Whilst there will always be those looking to make a fast buck by cashing in on someone elses hard work in finding and breaking "new" tunes, not to metion ripping off the artists for royalty entitlements through bootleg CD and vinyl, it should never be condoned through playlist use. For me the standard of original only vinyl playlists is sacrosanct, and should not be trivilialised by mention of "soul police" in reference to so-called DJs who play boots, pressings and re-issues. It's not ok to play re-issues, it's not what this rare soul scene is about, and never will be in my book. If that makes me one of the "soul police" then fine with me.

Kitch & Bob Cosby @ Creative Soul Thanks to all that made it to Creative Soul 2 for another great night of quality soul. Great sets from our guest DJs Kitch and Bob Cosby, who played to a very appreciative crowd and dance floor.If you were there, here's a reminder of the great music played....if you missed it, check the audio sample for a some great reasons to get April 19th in your diary, when our guests are Arthur Fenn and Nidge Mayfield for more great quality, dance floor soul.

Yeah, that's what I've always thought

....and sold in the 100's off the front page.

Great record Ian, though heard this regularly played out through the 80's ....still plenty of plays left in it though

Some great tunes there Dave....should all be gone by tea time

Just reduced pricing to encourage, and balance up my over spending Frank Crocker added

No, that's how was it issued - it's real enough
