Pete S Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I promised two volumes but people kept pointing out to me tracks I'd missed so here's another episode of Youth Club Classics, the sun is out for once and this selection should keep the feel good factor going! Not so much Northern this time as I was trying to remember some of the more popular commercial tunes that were big back then. I've armed myself with three years worth of Black Music magazines so that I can refer to the charts of 1973/74/75 and come up with more ideas for future episodes. I managed to resist the temptation to use any Gary Glitter and Slade, both were huge in the early 70's and constantly played in youth clubs at the time. Then again, so was Lieutenant Pigeon... GEORGE CLINTON - PLEASE DON'T RUN FROM ME JUST BROTHERS - SLICED TOMATOES AL WILSON - THE SNAKE BUTCH BAKER - THE JOCKER (sic) THE MIRACLES - LOVE MACHINE BOBBY HEBB - LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHARONETTES - GOING TO A GO GO JASON KNIGHT - OUR LOVE IS GETTING STRONGER THE INVITATIONS - SKIING IN THE SNOW EDWIN STARR - SOS (STOP HER ON SIGHT) MICKEY MOONSHINE - NAME IT YOU GOT IT TAMI LYNN - I'M GONNA RUN AWAY FROM YOU RAMSEY LEWIS TRIO - WADE IN THE WATER THE TAMS - HEY GIRL DON'T BOTHER ME THE CONTOURS - JUST A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING THE IMPRESSIONS - YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING BOB & EARL - HARLEM SHUFFLE JR.

Guest MrC Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) No New York City - I'm doing Fine Now? It has got most of the other stuff I've remembered on it though, another nice one Pete. It'll be on a CD and in the car ready to be played loud on our drive over the moors at the weekend, hopefully the sun will be shining on the righteous too! OOhh... Rock the Boat, Rock your Baby, Queen of Clubs.... all got to be future candidates?! Edited May 2, 2013 by MrC

Rock the Boat, Rock your Baby, Queen of Clubs.... all got to be future candidates?! Ruled out the two 'Rocks" as still get played a lot on the radio but did think of QOC but then forgot it! I could have sworn I included NYC already, must have forgotten that as well. Was thinking about stuff like "High Wire", "Swing Your Daddy", "Shame Shame Shame", "Tell Me What You Want"...it's disco but not horrible soulless late 70's disco. Also oddballs that were massive massive records but have been binned for being sh*te, I'm thinking of stuff like The Peppers - Pepper Box, that one even had it's own dance
