#1 it was, and I thank you for your answer. If I understand it
correctly, "ordinary" Northern soul refers to the older-discovered
records, and "progressive" to those discovered more recently. Is
there any particular difference between the records themselves,
though, other than when they were picked up on by the scene?

Here's an interesting item, I think. Johnny Cymbal and Peggy
Clinger were in love and inseperable (as well as recording as
Cymbal and Clinger) until not long before Peggy died. Sad day.

Hi and welcome to Mr. Ron Dante! I've always enjoyed your more
familiar works (Detergents, Archies, Cuff Links), and later on
I'm going to visit the Yahoo Groups page to hear some of your
solo work. I'm certain I'll enjoy it!
Howard--Christine Quaite's version of "Long After..." was
released here on Laurie. I remember it being listed on Tim
Ashibende's voluminous want list.
Best,
Mark
