My next is a lovely little tune, its not a big brash monster but it's played in small venues, The Festivals - Music (Smash 1966). I've always liked this, we can't help what we like or dislike. Hope you enjoy.

Fantastic, my friend bought a box of reissues direct from an artist, actually putting money into his hand. He plays one of these records regularly and if challenged he says, 'I actually paid the artist, who did you pay?' I hope the artists that did come to venues were well treated, many were not βΉοΈ
Another tune another classic, Willie Kendrick - Change Your Ways (RCA Victor 1967). This belting tune has stood the test of time, filling dancefloors time and time again.

Sorry, I misread it and then realised you would have known - DOH. Pressings and boots are the dirty secret of the scene, without them the scene was dead but it came at a price to many of the artists who never got their royalties, I was talking to a dealer yesterday about it oddly enough.
We all bought these in good faith π€£π€£π
Yep, it was a bootleg label, I have a few myself π€£π€£ 70s bootleg/re-issue record label run by Simon Soussan out of LA, USA, specialising in Northern Soul rarities for the UK - either bootlegs of the originals or synth re-works by Soussan himself. Credits also appeared on some releases on Soul Galore.
My next is a very popular play, The Blue Sharks - These Things Will Keep Me Loving You (Grand Prix 1971)
AKA Mike Morton Congregation a group that made hit party albums.

Morning, first tune up is The Apollos - Mr Creator (Warner Bros 1967) a 'Barn Storming Floor Filler' that defies the years and stills sounds as fresh today as when first heard. The Apollos never reached the heights their talent deserved.

My first tune of the day is Larry Atkins - Ain't That Love Enough (Romark 1968) the heavy stomping intro from producer Kent Harris is a mark of his genius. Originals are hard to find but two recent reissues make up for that.
