    I would like to see a regular column by james[/b] where he can
    write whatever he wants, all things ultimately being record-relatted.

    I think a lot of these ideas would work really well. Big co-sign on the Mayfield thing, Euro rare and Japanese rare reports.

    I'd like to see a Library issue. They could look at a varietyof French, UK, Italian and library records, and major producers, such as Mansfield or Hawkshaw on the KPM label. I think this would be awesome.

    more Bob James, John Klemmer, Herbie Mann and CTI articles

    I remember when they did the CTI cover-art feature, one dude on here was actually whining that the photo spread wasn't extensive enough.

    Did you direct him to attend any record shop in American for more thorough coverage?


  • How about a feature on the great record stores of the world. Different shop featured each month. Start with Disco 7 in Sao Paulo.

    What I wanna know is, now that I've sold vol 1 and 2, where is the rumoured re-issue of those volumes or a best of or something they were gonna put out.

    The fuck did you know? Yeah, I wouldn't have let them go for less than that 'cause I like them. But when I heard that they were gonna get released again I thought, why not cash in. It's not like I need an original copy of a bloody magazine!

    Also, I'd like to see a feature on the Sugarhill Records empire - not just the Wood, Brass & Steel house band, but an overview of all of the labels (Stang, Turbo, All Platinum, A-1, Maple). An article on Lee Moses/Johnny Brantley would dovetail nicely.

    And of course a column by james[/b].

    They did a whole issue about it, I believe.

    HELL yes...

    most likely...
    My girlfriend got a tatoo last year that lasted over 4 hours...fortunatly the parlor had a ton a of old magazines including 3 or 4 issues of Grand Royal. that shit saved my ass.

    yeah ive got that joint. That was the shit foreals.

    that was in the same issue as the mullet article. lee perry on the cover in a mets batters helmet. and I believe the biz record doing benni and the jets was included.

  • What's crazy is that there's yet to be a good book-length biography of Mayfield.

    That's true for a lot of giants of soul music, though... almost all of them, actually.

    I hear you but Mayfield seems especially glaring (his omission, I mean).

    Where's the "Rockist" graemlin?

    You denying Curtis his due?



    I agree with Faux's point: there's a LOT of books that need to be written.

    I think he meant that there hasn't been a Curtis bio because of the prevailing rockist agenda of publishers/music critics. It still blows my mind that there has been so little documentation of the history of soul music. And much of what has been published is so tepid. There have probably been more books written about the Beatles than all of the soul-related books combined.

  • a NORTHERN SOUL issue

  • you guys are aware of these right



    Curtis Mayfield: People Never Give Up by Peter Burns



    Higher ground : Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, and the Rise and Fall of American Soul by Craig Werner.

    The Burns is really not so hot. The Werner is better, doesn't focus exclusively on Curtis but it is still pretty interesting, i would say it's decent if i remember correctly.
    SO neither is ideal but they're better than nothing and maybe can hold you over until someone does a real kick-ass one
