Mick, I know somebody who thought they'd mixed Fortnum & Mason & Marks & Spencer for their record sales. She thought I was joking when I informed her that was their real names.

On Manships last auction he credited Gene Anderson a Simon Ingham play at Keele but surprisingly thought he was a young DJ. I reckon Mr Manship needs his eyes testing .   Great record though.

This is really getting some 'traction' in the venues, great 'Northern Soul', (or is it just 'Rare Soul'?) to these ears and just shows there's sooo many sounds away from the tried and tested to come through and keep many of us wanting more...  

Here's one of the very best group harmony twofers you can possibly get, Baz and Simon both have a copy in their playbox so there's a good chance either side can get a go on the turntable. The Versatones A.K.A Percy & Them who also has a chance of getting a spin in the modern room.

Here's a touch of brilliance from Percy & Them A.K.A The Versatones

Great knowledge Bob  

Here's a possibility for Mr Inghams set. I don't know this one, I'll just have a listen now.

Filed under the best of UK only part of Simon's play box, Dee Dee Warwick's 1966 up tempo soul perfection and what a cracker it is
