Down into the cellar with a few requests to kick off and the awesome Dion Jackson - "Someday The Sun Will Shine", as you'll here the sound quality is not so good but I
think it's an acetate only, but it's definitely worth hearing. Tammi Terrell's unisued Motown track - "It's A Lone Lone Lonely Town", moving onto Sam's choices and an oldie that you don't here
too much these days Spyder Turner - "Gotta Get Myself Together", over to Detroit and Theresa Lindsey - "It's Love" for CorrecTone Records, and a vastly underplayed record by Maurita
Gatey - "Love's What You Want" on PooPan records from Detroit. Next is Hodges James Smith & Crawford - "Let's Pick Up The Pieces", the Crawford is actually Carolyn Crawford, and
Kent have the rights for it so it could be getting a release in the future. Experience Unlimited - "You've Got To Tell Me", Minnie Jones from Los Angeles and another forgotten record which used
to get played a lot at the Blue Rooms in Sale, "Shaddow Of A Memory" for the Sugar label in LA, back into Detroit for a recent purchase, The Proteges - "You Counterfiet Girl", Dusty

Hold On) a label which it seems that everything on it is rare, Willie Darrington or Willie D - "It Looks Like Rain", last one for Sam is a 70's record produced by Willie Hutch, Reason Why are
the artists and "Step Inside My World"
Tony Rounce is the guest for the next hour and kicks off with a record of Jamaican origin record by W King Cole - "I Wonder Why" on the Micron Label, Mike Jemison -

Jimmy Jones which was never released, "I Depend On You", awesome or what ?, It will be on a compilation of unreleased Roulette stuff next year. Next is a New York label END, and another track
that wasn't released Harry Starr - "Live It Up", another unissued track from the Dimension label, the original "Good Good Loving" by the Cinderellas, from the Gamble label, by Oliver

"The Cowards Way", back into the early 60's for The Pentagons - "I Wonder Will Your Love Ever Belong To Me", onto the early 80's and just a half of a song, because that is all that
could be rescued from the demo tape, Bunny Sigler - "I'm Gonna Do My Best", Bunny apparantley demoed it for Jean Carne, which is also played and which also didn't get a release. Gwen McCrae -
