That would make sense. RT told me his set had been recorded but Richard on the radio sounds more feasible.

The original acetate was found by John Poole in Max Kids basement with no name or song title on it. It was covered up as Kenni Lewis due to the Max kid / Kenni Lewis Shrine connection. Andy Rix and Rob Thomas made it a top unavailable sound about 16 years ago, the title and artist were guess work. Rob Thomas eventually let it go to Lou Stanley and Lou sold it on to Kitch (Nottm soul collector - DJ - record dealer - manfromsoul.co.uk ) To my knowledge Kitch still owns the 1st copy to this day. A couple of years ago a second acetate turned up this one was recognised by one of the guys in the bands who said it was sung by Leroy Taylor. The Shrine - connection pops up again so looks very creditable. I have bought 3 copies of the new release on Federal Green Records for myself and two close friends. The playback is 100% perfect. Well done Federal Green. There was a white labelled bootleg about which came from a dodgy recording of one of Rob Thomas's DJ sets - Sound quality was very poor. I don't know of any Pete Smith connection but pay homage to John, Andy and Rob for discovering a record that has stayed in my top 5 for longer than I care to remember. Personally I think Federal Green Records got the title wrong (The Marrying Kind) and think it was meant to be called Not The Marrying Kind Mick

Look forward to high flyers each month. Nice to see present-day prices on records I have owned or still own and ones Id like to own, Surprises me how some are overpriced and others quite reasonable

Devotions £1021 about 10 years ago. Played it for 6 years then sold it to a mate for £1000 cuz he had sat on his copy and he wasn't the lightest person on earth.

Very sad news. Had the pleasure of his company for many hours at Preststyn and in the States. Deepest regards to his family.

Probably not the best but this always did it for me

I remember the guy having an eBay name of Brooklyn Born or something similar - He was also selling shed loads of Aint Gonna Run No More. I got both for $100, the Fredric Hymes were judged to be legit but the Royal Esquires were a little bendy. He seemed a genuine guy. These were not boots of boots - Maybe a little suspect though

Spoke to Richie Pitts years ago and he said Peter Stringfellow brought him and the Velours over to perform and persuaded them to change the group name to The Fantastics. He said The Velours meant nothing.

Well said - also Lester Tipton and John Bowie

Assuming your relating to sir names / christian names - The thread was started by Kenb and didn't state either. He has listed solo artist using there christian names and you have gone for sir names. Maybe need clarifying by Kenb or allow both. Both may course a few double listings. Over to you Kenb -

Tomangoes with Geno Washington and the gang. Is there anything any better than that. New York's finest moment.
