"Nightflight" Tue Feb 5, 9P-12M ET: A Return To Andy Skurow and the Supremes LIVE!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy, Folks! On May 10, 2011, upon the release of "The Supremes...Let Yourself Go!...The 70's Albums
Vol. 2 1974-1977...The Final Sessions", I had the honor and pleasure of having as guests on "Nightflight"
3 members of the Supremes...Mary Wilson, Susaye Greene and Scherrie Payne and the producer of the compilation...Andy Skurow. I never have aired the live show since...and I LOST the only copy of the show
that I had! CURSES!!!!

Well....after months of searching, a copy of this very important show appeared...thanks to Andy [[bless you, Andy!!)! I thought I would tweak the sound and air this show once, unedited, before I have it uploaded to the WOMR podcast vault...sadly the music must be edited out of the show for that to happen.
Not only are Mary, Susaye and Scherrie a delight to behold, but lots of information is given by Andy about the production of the cd set. And....we all had 2 tons of fun....I won't spoil it for those of you who hadn't heard the live airing. So please join me tonight for what I lovingly call "Andy Skurow and the Supremes"...on "Nightflight"...
on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and we are streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org
Thanks! John

..the Lovely and Talented Susaye and Andy...in the vaults...

Johnny,
Should you have Andy on the line in the near future, please ask him about the photo. It looks as if he is worried that Susaye is going to skip out with the master tapes [[note how he appears to be holding her arm from behind- and landsakes, his right arm isn't even visible, is he restaining her at the waist? LOL.
Susaye is too much a lady to even consider the possibility. I guess Andy was just getting in practice for a certain internet radio dj's then-rumoured upcoming tour & visit . Susaye must have agreed to help Andy perfect his best anti-purloining technique!!! After all it was posted on a previous Nightflight thread that the special visitor in question wore a long ovecoat with many deep, deep pockets!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

John, looking forward to catching all the things I missed the first time around because of all the excitement! See you and the gang on the Radiola!

Carole....I'm glad I DIDN'T try to take a souvenir or two....with your well-manicured finger pointingme out so frequently. Susaye, I'm sure has her very own vault key...she is THAT special.
Besides....they don't make coats with pockets as big as I would have needed [[*grin).

Joseph...I KNOW what you mean. I was AT the show and I didn't hear a thing....this will be my first time!See you on that good old Radiola too!

[ejluther]

Thank you so much, Johnny! Can't wait to hear it!

[midnight johnny]

Hi John!

So glad that this historic broadcast is back again! Reminds me of how lucky we are that the ladies are always willing to show up and share with the fans their memories, love, and positivity. Hope everyone has picked up a copy of this sublime box set which sets the story straight that there definitely was talent and great tunes all the way to the end. Tonight reminds me to also be grateful that we have an insider like Andy at Universal to push for these releases and get them out in the most expanded way possible for the fans. All the vault digging he, George, and Harry do really do enrich our lives and look forward to what's to come in 2013! Ok, off my soapbox, I gotta go mix my seventies Supremes cocktails. See everyone here in a bit!

[drlorne]

Me too!!! This is Why I believe in you , John!

[carole cucumber]

Just a question: As Cindy was unavailable for your interview when the Let Yourself Go box set was released, did you ever attempt to contact her again for an interview?

[carole cucumber]

Are you attempting to get in touch with Martha Reeves or any of the Vandellas for a late March interview in anticipation of the 50th Anniversary set?

[midnight johnny]

Me too!!! This is Why I believe in you , John!

Lorne....how nice to see you!!!

Well...I haven't yet....I've been working to get another Motown member on the show after too long.

Howard....so nice to see you here.....and thank you!!

[Glenpwood]

This reminds me Marys CD is still awaiting release. She needs to put it out alongside Martha's 50th Singles set and cross promo it.....

[midnight johnny]

Folks....a little poll....would you like me to air the part 2 of the "Let Yourself Go" release next week...the show that occurred a week later with Andy and George. I will do that if you like.....

[sophisticated_soul]

I knew a little Pole. He was short but he wasn't little.

YES!!! Please.

[midnight johnny]

tsk tsk tsk.......and your response to the poll?

[midnight johnny]

YES!!! Please.

Thank you, Mike!!

[Glenpwood]

I don't know if I can get enthusiastic about a little pole after last weeks 12 inches BUT I would love to hear the George And Andy show again.....

[Glenpwood]

Did you ever make that promo John out of the Bread Commercial?

[midnight johnny]

I don't know if I can get enthusiastic about a little pole after last weeks 12 inches BUT I would love to hear the George And Andy show again.....

Glen...thank you...I think the yeses are winning!!!
No...I was creating the promo...and Susaye had lawyers show up at my apartment with a cease and desist order...can you imagine?

[carole cucumber]

Just a thought.... as you prepare to revisit part 2, why not contact Andy or George and ask if there is anything that they had wanted to say originally [[perhaps yet another revelatory tidbit) that they didn't get around to during the interview. It could be incorporated into your introductory remarks, setting the scene for the rebroadcast of the Andy & George interview.

Well having sat through the film version of Les Miserables recently I must say there's very little one should ruin their life over by stealing bread [[ or their jingles). Although I would say I'd rather go to prison than have Russell Crowe sing Opera to me ever again..... Hehe

[sophisticated_soul]

tsk tsk tsk.......and your response to the poll?

Yes!

[midnight johnny]

Yes!

Thankee Thankee ...time for a spankeee!
