This classic oldie from me

Posted

Dave

I'm in your gang,one of the great Wigan tunes.Managed to track one down before Christmas.

Cheers

Martyn

:hatsoff2: Martyn trying to locate the Q back then was a very hard for me I did not see it on lists, I eventually got a copy of some bloke who was after some Billy? along with the VOWS TELL ME VIP TOMMY GOOD CAN TAMLA and about 20 pressings, he seemed very pleased with the gram, I am sure that he was to far gone to realise what he was doing? then again compared with today most record boxes that the dancers had always had some thing in them, and often I would see something rare in a box as k how much are your records they would say some price, And I would say I will give you £20 for the box it was like taking candy from a baby, and better still if they wanted some billy as what was on offer was usually crap, most people who got it from me cut it half to sell and get there money back? :thumbup: DAVE 60

Happy days............I wonder if that tactic will still work...........swapping my cholesterol tablets for a box of records doesn't have the same ring though does it :D :D :D

THE OJAY'S....'People keep telling me'....Gorgeous 70s Dancer, only have a British PIR issue of 'For the love of money' with this on the flip, don't know if it's the same flip with the US 'Money' issue?

Bit of 70t's from me today.This is hidden away on the B side of one of there hits......Armed & Extremely Dangerous

By far the better side & would love to hear it out.

That's a cracking record mate....I want one! :yes:

This morning's offering; Probably better known I would think by The Shades of Blue from their Happiness LP. Another testimony to the talents of Barney 'Duke' Browner. I think this must have been the first track he and Harry Balk cut when they moved to Motown after absorbing Impact into the Hitsville family of labels. not an out and out dancer like the SOB version but a great record nevertheless. One of Bev's top 10 so it must be a good!

Regards,

Dave

If people can't dance to this DAVE, they ought to take up a new hobby, superb record....Dripping Soul and quality....

This afternoons offering: From a group of ladies who are I suppose, something of an acquired taste. I like most of their outings. This is a great Goffin/King song and it's been done by many soul artists but I particularly like this version. I'd imagine the girls were young teens when they recorded this. I have it on a nice Charmain WDJ.

Regards,

Dave

This evening's offering: There's a reason why songs get covered by different artists in different styles and genres, It's cos they're fantastic songs that stand the test of time. This is one of them. Combine it with the superlative vocals of Mr Johnson and hey presto! Soul music of the ginormous kind. Great record.

Dave

There's an interview in Soul Up North fanzine with Steve Alimo who was an artist but probably better known as a producer said in the article that it is 98% song 2% artist & this is born out when you get great songs covered & they all sound great..............I've heard loads of versions of "Fever" even instrumentals & have yet to hear a bad one.........."Comin' Home Baby" is another.I suppose that's why some of the writers are so highly thought of.

This afternoons offering: Used to get a few plays about 15 years ago but never really took off. I was luck enough to locate a 50 count box of demos at Sunshine Records which went out at a couple of quid each. This trio lost Mr Jones and morphed into Ferguson, Davis and Lee who had a couple of releases on GRT and Chess. I still pull it out every now and then (Ooh Err Missus!).

Dave

This morning's offering: BIG statement coming up.........My favourite Conwell/Len Jewell collaboration! The kind of record that typifies the Sunday Soul Brunch of Hitsville's Weekenders. Nothing better....few scoops in the sunshine, guys playing records of this quality all afternoon, feet tapping, appreciating soul music how it should be. (for us anyway! :lol: ) I have this on a nice White Gemini Demo which I have to say you don't see much in really good nick for some reason. West Coast magicians at work.
