That's right, you see records from 1974, 75, 76 listed for sale as "Crossover " my take (if it means anything) is "out of the 60,s, but not into the 70,s 1968-1972 ish Kev

Always said, my take on Crossover, "out of the 60,s, but not into the 70,s, sort of, 1968-1972, I see records listed for sale from 1975 onwards, Bollox, listen on YouTube to James Brown live at the Boston Garden , 1968, the guitar rifts and horn rifts, totally ahead of the time, and if anybody is going to follow anybody back then, guess who? BTW, this latest fad about "Lowrider" in Europe, the boy's at the sharp end in Califs, collect stuff from that same period, but too slow to appeal to the European Soul Scene, not "B" sides and mainstream labels which is constantly put out there

Blue print and template for anyone in the predicament Tim, you should get it patented 😆 👍 Kev

Sorry Tommy, I've gone a bit off thread, it was just an opinion on the group Best Kev

William "Wee Gee" Howard, imo, best lead vocalist The Dramatics ever had 👍 Kev

Hi Paul Hope you are well my friend The Dells also backed Wade Flemons on "That other place" Best regards Kev

The Hesitations-We can do it- "Born Free" LP The whole LP is incredible Kev

Talking of Red Balloon and The Ledgends and Bob, go on to YouTube, Mightyjoyung (hope I got the spelling right 😲) post's a version by The Jack Moves, of The Ledgends brilliant "A Fool For You " in the comments, if you scroll down, you'll see Bob getting animated with them, there's no credits whatsoever on the label, publishing, writer's etc for The Ledgends, Bob telling them to do the honourable and legal thing, and pay The Ledgends what they are due, as they have in effect, stole the song Kev

Much awesomeness 👌 you guy's have a tremendous agenda, long may it continue, we'll be over again for sure 👊 Kev

That's right, the first part of the show could be uptempo, but it soon slowed down to the good stuff, never once heard him mention "Northern Soul" and I still listen to his shows at least twice a week, if Northern was your priority bag, then there wasn't much for you here Kev

Yeah agreed Chris, sometimes the 1st part of the show can be a bit uptempo, but to do a weekly show, for as many year's as it ran, it's to be expected that some stuff would pass through that wasn't to ours or some people's liking 👍

Ey up Gilly, absolutely 💯, hope you and Nic are well my mate 👍 👌 x

Listen to Sitting in the Park archives at least twice a week, incredible source of "unknown " Sweet and Group Harmony Soul, coupled with Bob,s unrivaled knowledge and insight, it's a treasure trove for those who are genuinely interested in the genre, thank's for the update Kev

A great listen indeed Chris, top, top 7 choices from Musselburgh,s finest, but that was to be expected 👍 👌

If you can help, please PM Soulistics-Cotton Eye Joe The Major Three-Oh how it hurts X-Cessors -Silent Weapon Brothers Unique-Heavy day's, beautiful world Have a great weekend Kev

Gotcha my man, like, when a self promoted "big" name on the scene comes on, expecting the mere mortals to offer one up for f__k all, you've been there in the record room at a do, and you've got a few for sale, up comes "Bertie big bollocks " expecting you to be star struck and cave in on owt they show interest in 😆

My point exactly Richard, just because you haven't been to a European niter or Weekender, doesn't mean you can't have an interest in Rare Soul music and decide to throw your hat in the ring to obtain the gems Best regards to you and Nic x

Not specifically anyone here, but, as also with the debate after JM,s results aswell, I still think there's a "Niter record room" mentallity still in existence, when the reality now is that, the people who are shelling out these sums of money are worldwide, and have probably never been to a Niter or Weekender in their lives, they just buy and collect Rare Soul Music Kev
