On Top Of The World - The Stafford All-Nighters Podcasts

Cheers Mr Flynnster. I was writing down basically what Gary says and as that is an actual record I didn't question it.

My pleasure...got a few more gap fillers for you as I flick through various sets you have on MixCloud...will PM you.

Carl just asked me about the female 'Love is a serious business'. Grace Kennedy, came out on UK DJM LP 'I'm starting again'. But not even in my most big hair and big shoulder pads, would I have played it !!!!!!!!!!!!, not me me sir......

Would it be Adam Djing Dave, can you take a listen when you get two minutes, 45 minutes onwards.

Good work Chalky...appreciated

Just flicking through the Gary Rushbrooke set...the one you have listed as 'Soulmates - Sockin Soul' (track #20) is actually the Green Grunchons All Stars, 'Guys & Gals Bounce' on Boogaloo'...its the instrumental of 'Karate Boogaloo'.

Actually, it the copy that Gary played was the soulmates 'sock-in-soul' on double soul, because myself and tim ash found it on one of our US trips.

Right, had a listen, it was me, I hang my head in shame. Don't you hate these old tapes, I had clearly blocked that one out of my mind, I can't remember ever having the LP, but must have had at some stage.

Now I've listened to the whole of the last part of the mix. Was me from Larry Davis through to Mary Saxton for the second time, boy I must have really believed in that track at the time. Also had completely forgotten about that Joe Simon - One step at a time, that's a bit of a thumper, really did throw it around there, so at least somethings haven't changed.

Actually, it the copy that Gary played was the soulmates 'sock-in-soul' on double soul, because myself and tim ash found it on one of our US trips.

You live and learn...my defence is I was quickly flicking through and its been a while since I had a Green Grunchon All Stars and the Soulmates is on a green label (!)...did he not play that version as well 'upstairs'?

not even in my most big hair and big shoulder pads...

Your macks were pretty cool mind Dave!

Your macks were pretty cool mind Dave!

Still got the 'English Eccentric' one, was gonna wear it to the 'Re-union', but Malayka said if I did, I was going on my own.

Sartorial elegance personified!

Here you go pal, posted on the Keb cover up topic...

Cheers mate.

Cheers mate. I don't have the record but found a brief clip on line and it did sound like Soulmates.

Do you know the cover up (I think it's a cover up) of Kebs, Danny White "Send me your love"?

chalky, do you have a sound clip for me to listen to, as i dont remember any of keb's c/u titles. Probably have more chance of recognising the song.

Sorted mate, it was Johnny Wyatt "Any kind of love".

It's been a while since I did a podcast. The last three highlighted Robin and some great modern soul from the mid 80's but the 6ts mafia are getting restless. So here is Keb darge with more 60's newies from the mid 80's. Hope you enjoy!!

May this be the neverending thread on Soulsource.

The gospels....Mathew Mark Luke John and TOTW Stafford!

St Keb, St Dave, St Pat and St Guy has a ring to it!

Well it does in my world!

Cheers Chalky.

I've plenty more to do yet, lots more. Haven't even started with Pat yet plus the likes of Steve Smith, George Sharp, Kingy etc.

I think this is 26 podcast and counting celebrating the Stafford All-nighters. Another one from Guy and one of my favourites so far illustrating why Guy was pretty much untouchable as a Dj for a period in the mid 80's. n dancers, ballads, rarities (still) and many that have gone on to be Northern/rare Soul classics. Enjoy.

Thanks Jim, your words and every one else's are much appreciated. This has taken some time so far to put together, few years actually . But it's a labour of love more than anything and it is nice to know it is appreciated. Many thanks.

Plenty more to come, hoping to get one or two more done this year but plenty for next year. I've not even started on Pat yet, I have enough tracks ready for another three sets for Robin and plenty more for Keb. I've Steve Smith, George Sharp and a few more all for you to all look forward to next year.

Happy New Year to you all and to celebrate here is another podcast in the Stafford Story. Fourth one from Keb, 33 tracks for you to enjoy.

Just on case some of you who are away at the weekends, podcasts 29 and 30 were uploaded at the weekend, both sets of records played by Keb. Just about rounds up Keb's input at Stafford although there are records forgotten, can't find out what they are or trace. What do crop I will be included in a various DJ type podcasts at the end along with records no one can remember who played or who played first

Three sets of modern from Robin Salter up next when time allows. Then it will be back to finish Guy's input off.

The Modern Soul took a back seat whilst Guy and Keb were racketeering through the Stafford Story but Robin is back with some more Modern Magic from the mid 80's.

Hi Chalky

Thanks for the Robin podcast buddy. Just down loaded it - some great memories on this one too.

Peter

Pleasure mate, two more lined up ready to record of Robin's.

Thanks for reply too appreciated.

More Modern Soul memories from the Top Of The World And Robin Salter.

Again a great selection and forgot how good some of these sound, The Aristocrats for instance.

Chalky you ought to write a book about this stuff, the knowledge of sounds is just way beyond my comprehension - I can honestly say I've never heard of half the records on these podcasts so the turnaround must have been phenomenal, some titles lasting for maybe just one or two weeks.

Thanks Pete. I'm useless at putting into words what I want to say so i think the music tells it much better

Once complete I will hopefully do some sort of lengthy article, maybe with Dave Thorley's help.

There so many more records yet to come. Loads for Guy, I haven't even started with Pat Brady and loads of records from the era I can't seem to pin to any particular DJ. I think this podcast is number 32, all one hour and over and at least a dozen more to come yet. Maybe I'll stop at 50
