A pleasant surprise spin from Chris Churm a few Ashton's ago, hard hitting dance floor dynamite!!

We have the OG DJ who first broke this record on the scene, or certainly one of the first !! The Man From Soul (Newark) Dean Anderson, Carolinas Soul at it's finest, be rude not to give it a Spin !!!

Over to the West Coast for this R+B powerhouse dancer, residing in the play box of Alan Jenkins and ready to hit the turn tables at Ashton!! Don't forget Dean Andersons's "sound of soul" Radio Newark show, tonight 8pm-10pm with Alan + Natalie guesting and I believe Team Ukrainian "Fixer" Simon Ingham will be in attendance!!

Sticking with Album only releases, how much would this be worth on a 45? Quality all the way from the man, the voice Mr Willie Hutch

 

I reckon more than a £10ner

Yeah gone up a tad in price, since I got mine from King Bee Records in Sunny Chorlton, in leafy South Manchester 

Spoke to Natalie last night and she is super excited, as the build up to Saturday reaches a crescendo, looks like we'll be having a few Ashton first timers coming along as well!!! Just listened to Natalie and Alan's show from last Thursday with our other guest Dean Anderson and this emotion drenched beauty came bouncing out of the speakers!! Hope Natalie packs this in the play box!!
