Rare Soul Record Played On Radio 2 Sat Morning

[Dylan]

talking to a chap a work today who knows I like soul music he said something was played on radio 2 oin sat morning and then DJ went on to say it was only known copy and sold for 2.5k

just curious if anybody knows what it was ?

I know soul music is played reasonably frequently on radio2 but ths may have caught somebodies attention

Would it be Bernie Wiliams 'Ever Again' on Brian Matthew's Sounds Of the 60's' the week before last ?

Always plays some good Soul included 'Send My Baby Back' by Freddie Hughes last week.

More than likely it would have been on Brian Matthew's Sounds of the Sixties. Here's a track listing:

yes it was bernie williams, i pick brian mathews up by a sunday evening and you can always guarantee phil thecollector will slot in a few northern tracks and describe them as such. thingsas hard as to the ends of the earth by tony middleton and you get a bit of blurb with them, it must b a bit of a craze this northern thing as paul ogrady, tony blackburn do the same.

Jumped in the car yesterday about midday radio/cd player came on automatically.....Otis Clay The Only Way is Up , came on, funny didn't think I'd left a cd in, looked at the display RADIO 2!!!!

Graham Norton was playing it and back anounced it as the preferable original to Yazz's version!!!!!!!

Not a craze, I've been listening to this show since the early 90's (still have tapes of some of them) and they've always played a couple of Northern sounds and described them as such. I once won a Minit Records box set as a competition prize back in 1993.

True. Definately seems to be more soul content these days I reckon, such a great show especially if your in the car for a good singalong, almost as good as Elaine EP Paige on a Sundays but maybe I've said too much....
