Dirty Secrets: Which "oldie" Will You Never Ever Get Sick Of?

[Peter99]

Ain't avin a pop, we like new 60s, never want to hear flogged to death oldies, horses for course for ALL concerned,

I still don't get why you quoted my post where I stated that I liked the Al Wilson track which Stevie and posed the question as to whether as an artist he was underrated.

[TOAD]

Or flogged out rare 45s ! That have been made big by other djs (have a think on that)

I don't understand that either

[Jhsoulnotts]

Underplayed tunes is what we need to keep the scene going forward, who wants to hear the same record week after week?, thats why we've got pure soul at nuneaton going

As the topic starter I would point out that I agree with your sentiments exactly However, that's not the point of this discussion. I don't want to listen/dance to a set that sounds like a Goldmine CD, but even though I prefer my soul upfront and progressive and spend obscene amounts of time researching, listening, buying and trying to find new 60s stuff (I still believe its out there!), there are still those "oldies" that have the power to move me (and you maybe?), in a very deep way. Preferring upfront/rare soul/across the board, does not mean you have to forget that does it?

A great selection, i've been after a copy of the trent sisters since the last millenium, but alas with no luck

its a very tough one to track down' my good mate PHIL T FROM PRESTON has one.

[Spacehopper]

think he was giving you a compliement= you said al wilson was underated and he was saying more or less yes he agrees and other al wilson stuff was underplayed

if that makes sense... correct me if i am wrong mr tosspot

Isnt this thread supposed to be about records that have been hammered to death and thus liable to be in the category of "not this again" that you can listen to time and time again without thinking that?

[Reg Scott]

The Entertainer never gets old..killer!

Jimmy James & The Vagabonds version is sublime..

As for my tireless oldie, dirty or not, fanfekintastic!

FRANKIE BEVERLY AND THE BUTLERS - IF THATS WHAT YOU WANTED

[Chalky]

As I understand this topic is about records that are played at venues week in week out and what you never tire of hearing so in the spirit of the topic can we stick to this.

[Andreas B]

epitome of sound - you don't love me

barbara mercer - hey!!

gwen owens - just say you're wanted

gene chandler - after the laugher

del larks - job opening

[Andreas B]

oh and of course,

vibrating vibrations - surprise party for baby!

[Guest Polyvelts]

Don't depend on me

[Codfromderby]

Don't depend on me

i presume you mean the fantastic johnny c track, still love this now, brings back memories of youth clubs and soul clubs in the early mid 70,s,sounded exotic then and still does now

[Codfromderby]

i still love house for sale millie jackson and i got the need chuck jackson. love them even more when i discovered different mixes that are around, only slightly different but awesome

[Tezza]

Hey Dunc. Good to see you on here bud.

Mine would be Beverley Anne - You've Got Your Mind - cos its great out loud.

April Stevens - Wanting You. Not heard out in about 30 years I reckon. Pleasantly surprised to see it on Manship's auction.

April Stevens ?? Playing at Derby Assembly Rooms Nighter on Sept 15th. I will play it for you there if you wish. Still gets played occasionally around the North Midlands.

My 'never get tired of ...' has to be ' Moses Smith - Girl Across The Street '

[Liljimmycrank]

Eddie Parker, Tomangoes, Johnny Sayles, Jokers............All records that got me into northern soul, and although my tastes changed since the days of listening to "northern Soul Classic cd's" as a nipper, i'd happily hear these any day of the week at a venue.

[luxury soul]

They're all oldies...just depends if you have heard them or not! New "60's" is a contradiction :-)

The floor is the "teller"...depends on the crowd, the night. What works one night, flops the next.

Still...for me; Tamala Lewis would do it...however; DJ'd at a mates wedding the other week and 2 stalwarts of the scene since 73; request was Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor

[Lenny Harkins]

Ten Miles High

[Ezzie Brown]

tomangoes ...and ....hide nor hair.....by........earl grant ......these lines are doin my head in , dont know why they appear sometimes when i type ezzie

[Gointoagogo]

2 that I've loved since the 60's - neither of which are "soulful" but great northern

Mitch Ryder - Breakout

Four Seasons - Opus 17

- and one I never heard till 70's and I'll never tire of it - Al Kent - Way you been acting

[Zed1]

Proper Nighter music from back in the day.....

[Little-stevie]

Heard this out loud of late and still the dogs bollocks...

On the left hand side of the toolbar you see when you're replying is an 'S' with a line through as in S which means 'Strike through', you use this if you want to strike through some text BUT leave it on show, as in 'This thread is Shite great', you must have clicked on this accidentlly.
