All three of Lemmie's Mercury singles are very collectable. The flip of "Good Lovin'" is a fantastic beat ballad, "We Can't Finish What We Started", which was my introduction to his music, thanks to...

Another good looking CD set, but I have a minor quibble or two...first off [[and I know these guys aren't the only guilty parties for this), the name of the group is ChairMEN of the Board, not...

Cherry Red comes through again! This is a really neat-looking comp.

Are they not in the R&B Hall of Fame? It seems they'll let anyone in there...I mean, S.O.U.L. from my hometown of Cleveland is in, and really, how many folks outside of Cleveland know their music?...

Allow me to interject for a moment with this question for the Brits here...may I ask, is there any difference between disco and what you guys call 'Modern Soul'?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a lot...

I myself would like to hear this. My local library has some CD's of Pet's earlier ABC/Dunhill material, but I've never bothered to check them out. Eventually, I will.

Intervallo II by Ennio Morricone, on YouTube. I've been listening to a lot of classical/ambient/jazz of late while at home. I find it very relaxing! [[Don't worry, I'm still listening to plenty of...

Thanks, Eddie!

All of us collectors have probably seen the name Teacho Wiltshire on countless 45s. I have a question about him...now, I mainly listen to Internet radio shows like Johnny G's Vinyl Treasures show on...

What I'd like to know is, is "So Much Love" available on CD anywhere?

"You're the Cream of the Crop"--Lee Rogers

Sorry about the Arthur Alexander post...I must have been responding to a post on another page. This Lee Rogers one is the one we should be working with.

"Across 110th Street"--Bobby Womack

Well, as a collector of Amy/Mala/Bell soul sides, I have to put up with styrene copies on many of those records, especially the rarer ones. I try to get vinyl on 'em when I can.

What about Sonny & Diane on Epic? Their single "That's Enough", the writer cred reads S. Fishback, so I'm guessing he's Sonny on this single.

My faves are "There'll Still Be a Sweet Tomorrow" and "Standing In the Darkness".

Graham--"Under the Street Lamp" is by the EXITS, not the Ethics...unless the Ethics also recorded a version of...

Is this a UK ad? I'm surprised they didn't use "It's the Little Things" by Patti & the Emblems!

This is a breezy sweet/Northern soul hybrid,...

Benny Mardones did a great version of "To Make a Long Story Short". I prefer it to his hit of "Into the Night", a song I could never get into.

She performed here in Cleveland yesterday at Music Box Supper Club. I regret not being able to see her this time, as I didn't have the cash for a ticket. Hopefully, next time. I've seen Bettye twice,...

"Something's Burning" and "My Heart Needs a Break" are the highlights of this set. I think it's a worthwhile buy.
