Album Art of the Day(9/28/08) "I'm Not Gonna Let"- Colonel Abrams

[DJ Timmy Richardson]

[VEESTER]

Classic! I remember this tune crossed over to the R&B charts and reached the top 10.

[Mike Barnes]

Timmy, One of the Colonel's best and most underrated plates to me, Is, 'You and me, Equals us', Along with, 'Picture me in love with you', And, 'Relive a memory', From the mid/late 80's, Infact, Here's a list of some vastly underrated plates by the Colonel/LOL.

1.In between us-Featuring Rose Stone
2.Bad Timing
3.Life's full of Music(Music is my life).
4.Over and Over
5.Hurt my feelings

6.The love that i don't need
7.Let's celebrate(Hopefully, Boyd Jarvis will release this song one day/LOL).

Timmy, Winston Jones deserves mad credit for producing, 'Music is the answer', By The Colonel in 1984/85, My man, 'Music is the answer', Was the plate that put the Colonel onstage(Mad notoriety), On the Dance music

circuit and music business(Much Respect to Cheryl Busby, Former President of MCA records during the 80's to 1995, In regards to putting the Colonel Down with MCA in 1984, And, Allowing a Dance music cat like the Colonel to sing the songs that he loves to sing.
Much Respect

No Doubt. I'll be right here was a cut. I remember one year during the NMS Colonel did Palladium with about 5000 people in there. It was a BLS party. At some point I must have seen him perform about 5 times in a year and the Garage was one of them.

I have a few 12's from that LP you mentioned but didnt even know he had any other LP besides "Colonel Abrams" & "You and Me Equals Us" which had like a 3 min version of Running

[TAB.]

Classic! I remember this tune crossed over to the R&B charts and reached the top 10.

Man, the feeling you got when you saw it playing on Soul Train, in 86.

When I played this LP in my barracks, I was playing and Jacking on that 'Speculation' for days. Roomate thought I was nuts. " Man, Thats that ol House bullshit!", he would say. LOL!

[Mike Barnes]

Timmy, The version of, Runnin', On the Colonels LP from 1987('You and me, Equals us',), Was wack my man/LOL, I'm very sure, Boyd Jarvis and Timmy Regisford(Who was working with MCA records back in 1987, As A/R), Had to make a commercial version of 'Running', In regards to getting, 'Runnin',

Included on the LP(Cheryl Busby's my man, and things, But, Money could have allowed Boyd Jarvis and Timmy Regisford, To Produce the original ,'Runnin', That was on a reel-to reel, During the early 80's, Again

(Cheryl Busby could have allowed Boyd Jarvis and Timmy Regisford to get the Colonel to sing, 'Runnin', Over, The original version way/LOL), Timmy, That, 'Secret Romance', LP/CD, By The Colonel, Has some very nice plates on it, My man, Timmy I've always wondered why the Colonel never put, 'Release the Tension', On the, 'You and me, equals us, LP/CD too, My man(Maybe,

Because of the commercial aspect of having to do a commercial version of 'Release the Tension', Included on the LP, Opposed to the original version of,'Release the Tension', Which is mad hard, But, Not LP/CD friendly, My man/LOL.

Running actually came out on a white label a few years back. Press isn't that great though.
