Nick "Driveller" Brown Sessions 2001

Notes below all from that time... 2001

To coincide with the forthcoming Notre Dame event on Feb 16th at Leicester Square London, we have the fortune to have two great session's selected by your man Nick "Driveller" Brown, promoter and dj at the event which is happening on the 16 Feb 2001. 

Session 1

PIC AND BILL : WHAT DOES IT TAKE (CHARAY)

Merciless northern soul scorcher that's remained inexplicably unknown till now.  another spot-on killer from the best male duo in soul music.

DOC &THE INTERNS : THE LOVE THAT YOU GIVE (EDGEWOOD ACETATE)

Thunderous dc floorshaker, presumably recorded for now but left in the backroom.  Absolutely made for the scene, with its piledriver beat, wall-quaking bass and football-chant chorus.  It's even got a bit near the end for the acrobats to show off their stuff.  Did they know something?

MARGARET MANDOLPH: If You Ever Need Me (PLANETARY)

One of four excellent sides Margaret recorded for Planetary.  This is from the earlier 45, from November '64, and is a lovely, atmospheric mid-tempo stepper.

EDDIE GILES: Losing Boy (MUCRO)

Unbelievably, a big hit with the ravers at the Heavenly Social a few years ago, but virtually unknown on the Northern scene.  If you're quick, you might still get this cheap, so look out for this driving, staxy mid-pacer with its air of chin-up determination and gritted-teeth optimism. Builds like a skyscraper.

SHIRLEY EDWARDS: Dream My Heart ( SHRINE)

The version originally used for the single, for the benefit of those who have only heard it on the CD.  My number one all-time favourite record of any sort, EVER!

ANITA ANDERSON: Secretly (CONTACT)

 Flip of the wonderful "Little Bit Longer", and often cited as being the more "Northern" side.  Here's a chance to hear it if you haven't yet.  Check out the 3-D echo on that break!

SESSION 2 

THE FOUR REPUTATIONS: Call On Me (MILLAGE)

Definitely NOT the same record as the Presentations, despite what people say on their sales lists!  A pressing plant slip-up meant this never got a release but thank goodness SOME of the copies escaped the crusher! Absolutely perfect allnighter Soul.

THE EXCEPTIONS: Baby You Know I Need You (IMPACT SOUND acetate)

A cross over in-demander on its 68 release on Groovey Grooves, but this is the unreleased original version from 66 and it KICKS!!!! the classic sound of mid 60s Philly epitomised in two minutes of dancefloor dynamite!

JEAN DU SHON: It Won't Stop Hurting Me (LENNOX)

Her okeh piece is going seriously big with the r+b fans , but I've always rated this as her best moment. Sophisticated Big City Soul with just a touch of raw edge, all wrapped up in a smooth, mid tempo flow of impassioned yearning. Had a couple of copies in the 80s , but haven't seen another for about 10 years. Serious class

GALLAHADS : I've Got To Find A Way (BEECHWOOD)

Irrepressible group dancer bursting with energy and sprirt, plus that irresistable "wait for it " intro. Been a popular sound with the newies crowd for a good few years, but this i one's real day is still to come.

DON AND JUAN: All That's Missing Is You (MALA)

Tasty portion of Early Soul from the ever reliable Claude and Roland. Highly rated by many since the Stafford era, but it's another one that's still waiting for the exposure it needs to make it cross over

TRANELLS: My Love - (Cover-up)

One of those raw primitive recording that you take one listen to and you just KNOW how rare it is but once you cut through the three layers of carpet around the microphone and the tin bath it was recorded in , you've got a relentlessly hypnotic dancer tat drives along on a insistent hook and boasts a creditably sound vocal. Puts me in mind of a group reworking of Silky Hargreaves "Hurt by Love". Hauntingly atmospheric with an addictive riff.
