Soul picks from Nick Cope
From Nick:
The Pets -I Say Yeah (Carnival)
George Clinton was involved in making this track. I think he even
played the keyboard solo too.
Oscar Wright -Fell In Love (Hemisphere)
Also came out on another label. I think Hemisphere was the original
release, not sure. The other label was Fairmount.
Soul Circle by Spot & The Blotters was on Equal, a Michigan label. It's the inst flip to Circulating, the same track but with vocals on. It doesn't work well with vocals! The Spot 45 has possibly the maddest studio edit ever...!

great stuff
Spot and the Blotters played the West Michigan circuit, but may have originated from Chicago. 'Spot' was a travelling stand-up comedian who somehow got incorporated into the Blotters act. P.J. Spice, who recieves, I believe, a production credit on the 45 is in fact a pseudonym of Palmer James, of Al Greene/People's Choice (wood city) fame.

I just want to say the Oscar Wright 45 is perfect.
That Oscar WrightJr. is insane . Thank You very Much.
they called themselves spot and the blotters because spot was black and the blotters white.
Ah hah!
How widely did Spot and the Blotters tour? Did they do the 'chitlin circuit' down south (including Mobile, AL) during the 60's? I thought I heard of them when I briefly lived down there 67-70..
Does anyone know where I can find anything else by the Pets? I'm obsessed with "I Say Yeah" and would like to hear more from them.
Too much quality to my ears. I love this. A good selection of rarities.
Thanks for share all this with teh world.
From Madrid, Spain, best regards
