paup-ine Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Ian has asked me to post this for your information: Very important. I am doing a three hour radio show on Solar Radio this coming Wednesday, 15th February. From 3pm till 6pm, and going out totally live, and all off vinyl too. "Solid Soul Sensations" with Ian Levine. Three hours of spectacular underrated Northern Soul and Crossover. I intend to play a completely different selection to the podcast. But it's live in the studio, and if you don't tune in live, sadly you'll miss it. Available on Sky Digital 0129, and online live, at www.solarradio.com - Please do not miss this - I promise to play some surprises for you to delight and thrill all true soul fans everywhere.

Pete S Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 3pm to 6pm is a strange time, most people will be at work
Steve G Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 You can record it on sky Pete, if you have sky that is. Solar have a regular roster of DJs and times and so I guess it's a case of fitting into a gap in the schedule. Steve
AlanB Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 It's been great so far, well worth tuning in. Here's what was played in first 45 minutes.. Ravin Mads - Where is love Ralfi Pagan - Girl from the mountain Parliaments - I found out Hatti Winston - pass me by Chuck Jackson - Waiting in vain Ralph Graham - What am I to do Eugene Smiley - Yes it's you Dave Wilson - Funny that you should say that Reatha Reese - Only lies Ken Williams - Get to know you Jimmy Jules - The new year Timothy Wilson - Pigtails Timothy Wilson - Just another guy on a string Robert John - Who could ever believe it. I have to go out now. Alan
Pete S Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I told Ian that I'd had that debbie & The Lads record for sale last year for under £150, I knew he didn't believe me, now he's quoting it at £1000 in tim browns price guide...took me 6 months to sell it.
AlanB Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 That Patti Drew record is shocking. I agree...and she had so many great records that could have been played. Alan
Pete S Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 His sets are never dull though are they, there's always something that you don't know that you end up liking
Wiganer1 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 knew he loved the stafford sounds really !!
Guest Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 CHARLIE McCOY, one of my all time favourites...Beautiful... TONY OWENS - Gorgeous gospel flavoured Northern... BARRATT STRONG - 'is it true'... Quality finish....
AlanB Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Here's a list of what he played in latter part of the show. (There is a gap of around 30 minutes from my earlier list). Overall very interesting and enjoyable, just a few I didn't like. The Ovations - Till I get over you Nancy Marano - Keep your hands off my baby Lady - Whatever happened to the love we had Joe Bataan - Young, gifted and brown Lorenz Alexandria - I don't want to hear it anymore Merging Traffic - Bit by bit Merging Traffic - Ain't no need Sugar Pie DeSanto - Here you come running Spaniels - Stand in line Spaniels - Maybe Patti Drew - Pick up Debbie and the Lads - Deal Lord above Eight Easy Pieces - Got to be love Mar Keys - My sweet baby George and Lee - You were made for me David Huff - Mary Brown David Huff - Glory Hallelujah Moments - Baby I want you Gwen Cleveland - Metropolis Pat & the Blenders - Just because Vonciel Myers - It won't be easy Na Allen - Every time it rains Narchee Flanagan - When her love comes down The Major IV - I don't believe in losing Ilana - Where would you be today Betty Jones - No more tears Jimmy Hall - I'm happy that love has found you Willie Tee - First taste of hurt Willie Tee - Teasin' you again Etta James - Can't shake it Bobby Darin - Melodie Bo Cooper - Don't call it love Dorothy Moore - Believe it or not The Grand Prix - Roar of the crowd The Fantastics - Me and you The Chex - Deeper Charlie McCoy - My baby's back again Tony Owens - This heart can't take no more Barret Strong - Is it true

AlanB Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Enjoyed it , what was the blue eyed thing on Bell he played? Bo Cooper - Don't call it love

Mike E Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Like this - Etta James - Can't shake it. Was this ever released on vinyl ? To the best of my knowledge this was never released on vinyl, well pretty sure it was'nt but batting safely on here
Mike E Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Some great stuff played by Ian. Loved the Markeys(not the stax group, but loved them too) and a surprise was the Merging Traffic...Aint no need which i got but with a crackly start.
Steve G Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Etta James only available on Kent CD. They are thinking of putting it out on 7. Does anyone know anything about Ilana - like who was she? Van McCoy production as I recall. So NY, Philly? Edited February 15, 2012 by Steve G
Marc Forrest Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I told Ian that I'd had that debbie & The Lads record for sale last year for under £150, I knew he didn't believe me, now he's quoting it at £1000 in tim browns price guide...took me 6 months to sell it. 6 months only...you did very well, I have a copy at 150 EUR in my sales box since two years.
Chalky Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I've seen the Debbie and the Lads for less than a ton, plenty of copies about it seems. 1
boba Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Lady - Whatever happened to the love we had been playing this lately at the coop niters - gr8 record ..on M-L records old pat brady wigan spin I play the other side "I'm still the one" on my radio show, nice midtempo.
boba Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I've seen the Debbie and the Lads for less than a ton, plenty of copies about it seems. there was a huge spike in price when it became known, now I'm pretty sure I've seen it sell or even BIN not sell on ebay for less than $100
Gold Band Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Just got round to listening to it, Just a couple of alterations Alan - Bessie Jones & The Cheques Got to say not too bad overall first time listen to Jimmy Hall - "I'm Happy That Love Has Found You" great track can only find it on the Epic Touch You LP 1980 was it issued on 45?
