NEW* MUST-HAVE COMPANION PIECES TO THE 'RnB INDIES' SET OF BOOKS - OH YEAH ! THE DISCOGRAPHY FOR NEW WORLD AFRICAN RECORD COLLECTORS

Whenever I want to check a date, record label or release number of a Rhythm 'n' Blues record the first place I look is Eyeball Productions four part series 'The R'n'B Indies'.
It has been indispensible in my obsession of tabulating favourite records from certain years, decades or time periods.
Publisher, Bob McGrath, who I worked with in the advertising business in Vancouver, B.C., has also published two more invaluable discographies.
'The Blues Discography' and 'The Gospel Discography'.
Both became tools of my chart-plotting hobby.
Now, oh joy! Along comes Bob's latest and closest to my own heart - a three volume set (vol. 1 is ready now with the other two volues to follow) entitled
'The Soul Discography'.

1967 - GROOVIN' BLUE WAS JUST ABOUT TO HIT THE AIRWAVES AND JAMES BROWN WAS AT L'OYMPIA in PARIS, FRANCE singin' "IT'S A MAN'S MAN'S WORLD" ! !


SHOULD DADDY FONK AND DJZZ TAKE THEIR FAVOURITE SOUTHERN MUSIC WITH THEM ON THEIR EAST END TOUR OF THE SOUTH or SHOULD THEY DIAL AROUND AND SEE WHAT MUSIC THE RADIO STATIONS BRING THEM?
JUST ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THEY ARE THINKIN' 'BOUT BEFORE THEY BOARD
THE NITE FLIGHT TO ATLANTA.

Thanks to Ron Simmonds - host of VanCity's long-running Co-Op Radio "Blues In The Dark" - for once again hippin' us to another great video.
