Guest Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 BIT of FUN.... ...Back in the late 70s / early 80s, there were alot of sounds being broken. Nowadays many of the 'HOT' sounds are reactivated oldies. But what are the top 10 newies being played today and by whom??? Definition of Newie for this thread - Doesn't have to be an total unknown or cover-up, can also be a known or semi known record that has never really had its day. So what are the top 10??? Baring in mind, that this thread tread just might double or even treble the value of some of the discs mentioned!!! (such is our strange and wonderful scene). I'll start with these 3 ... Eric Lomax C/U - Mike H and Butch Margaret Little - Mike H (again!!), Sam and Mark Speakman (north wales mafia members) Nomads C/U / The Love I Miss - Steve Thomas (also north wales mafia)

NA Allen - Every Time It Rains - Ronn (Thanks Jas) Russ
Corbett80 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I really like this Sheepherders record...the bit with the break and the line 'let ya fingers do the walking' is cool as f*ck..... Is it blue-eyed? Clovers is also superb....why dosen't this get much action then? Or does it? Joel

Soulsmith Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Always a great topic for the discussion it creates, have started gathering some top tens in the DJ section on my new site check em out https://www.soulspinner.com/djarea.php Kevin Hi Kev, Just had a look at your site, v.impressed. See you have a base up the road from me - in Farnham. I'm fairly sure that I used to race off-road enduros with the guys in your building. Small world, eh? Col.
Soulsmith Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Todays HOT sound for me is Pauline Shivers - Wont you Come Back Home. Secured TODAY for the pricely sum of £15. Heard the leg end that is Dave Abbott playing it out a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know much about it? Col.
Chalky Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Eric Lomas cover up getting a bit over played now IMO, well it has for a while, 6 or 7 playing it on a regular basis. Two tops tunes for me are Butch's Masqueraders and Sherri Taylor - It's Beautiful cover ups. The Rita and Tiaras cover up for both Andy Dyson and Butch and Andy's Johnny Sayles cover up....just a few for that will take some beating on the nighter scene .
Guest Baz Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Eric Lomas cover up getting a bit over played now IMO, well it has for a while, 6 or 7 playing it on a regular basis. A bit Sick of hearing it IMVHO.

Bit of an oldie I would have thought, I spun it the odd time few years ago, but sure this had spins some years ago, another by her on the same label, You Better Tell Him No is also worth picking up.
Guest Trevski Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 The Rita and Tiaras cover up for both Andy Dyson and Butch Heard Andy introduce this as the Shalimars a few times. Is it just Andy's alternate C/U name, or has he let it slip......
Chalky Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Heard Andy introduce this as the Shalimars a few times. Is it just Andy's alternate C/U name, or has he let it slip...... don't worry Trev, Andy's let nothing slip......just an alternate cover up name
Guest Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Used to put the Pauline Shivers on tapes some years back, nice tune.
Guest Matt Male Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Used to put the Pauline Shivers on tapes some years back, nice tune. Which one, Tell Him No? Very nice. I was gonna ask for soundfiles of some of those mentioned, but since they're mostly covered up...

Is it blue-eyed? Clovers is also superb....why dosen't this get much action then? Or does it? Joel Sheepherders were predominantly white & had a pretty transient line up, but on this particular disc, the lead is a black guy named Bubba Bailey & he belts it out, massive, massive, massive.hard tune too, paid $$$ for mine even in the US.

Quinvy Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 In about 1990 I gave a copy of The Lavells to a mate who wasn't really into soul because it isn't really soul. Are people playing this now? This is one of those records that sounds crap when played at home, but blasted out in a club, FANTASTIC. I had 2 copies in my sales box for yonks and never had a sniff. Then somebody played it at Bury town hall, and I sold them both instantly. Two guys who had looked through my box many times. mmmmmmm.

Mr Abott & myself have discussed this record quite a few times over the past couple of years & we both love it as a NS record, think Dave has been playing it back home so hopefully people are getting behind it.......the woo-hoos are very reminiscent of the Velvets & these make the record for me, a dancers delight & get those hands in the air for the woo-hoo's toooooooooooo.

SteveM Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Heard Andy introduce this as the Shalimars a few times. Is it just Andy's alternate C/U name, or has he let it slip...... I may have got this totally wrong, but is the Rita/Shalimars c/u the other side of the Belita Woods c/u 'Foolish Girl' ? Which IMO is fabulous.
Soulsmith Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I can see this thread going a bit 'elitist' Can't wait to hear from Mr Dull from Dullville, with his top 10 cover-ups that he doesn't play out.
