Steve Foran Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 The Jean Carter c/u thread reminded me. Did he also play a Diane Lewis tune. Not sure of title , label or even format. Think he played at our do about 12years ago along with JC. Good tune. Any help appreciated. Thanks Chaps. Steve
Johnmcc Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Isn't this with Sam now.? Acetate - unknown artist.I'm sure Butch played it at 100 Club March or April this year. Edited May 29, 2013 by johnmcc
Guest Byrney Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I heard Butch play it at 100 Club about 6 weeks ago. In my top 20 - possibly 10 of all time. Another on first hearing knocked me sideways without even a thought for its rarity.
Pete S Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Rob Marriot had a cut of it Everybody had a cut of it off that
KevH Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I'm sure Butch played it at 100 Club March or April this year. Don't know about "aint got a chance",i aint got a clue at times.
Manfromsoul45s Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 He was playing D Lewis Stafford/Post Stafford and I would be Gobsmacked if he sold it to Sam so i think the answer to that would be a NO..Top 10 Deffo 2
KevH Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I thought Sam played it at Lifeline ...must have been dreaming again.
Pete S Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 That Diane Lewis record - can you believe they chose not to release it? Along with The Magic Touch - possibly the best unreleased side ever.
Chalky Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I don't recall Sam playing it. If he did he will have another of Rob's fakes

Dennisoul Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Such a great tune.....unbelievable period of new tunes around 87- 92 from Butch when he was playing DL, mello souls, Walter & Ads, tommy Ridgley, Ruby etc etc...as new discoveries....mind blowing heard out loud all together in one set and stood the test of time....my word we were a lucky bunch of soulies :-) Edited May 29, 2013 by Dennisoul 3

Those few years (especially 86/87) are to many the equivalent of Searling 80/81 with regards to quality/quantity of discs. Both time frames broke a large bunch of discs that have stood the test of time on the scene...and a few still stand proud as absolute proven rarities. 3

True proven rarities and quality as well.

It was amazing new record after amazing new record just like RS late Casino. You ran to the dance floor, but it still stuns me that many of these legendary northern soul records would empty the floor now days at events in my neck of the woods (east Mids). We all knew of Butch as a collector but Mid 80s, Mexborough onwards he shot to number 1, no easy feat back then.
Steve L Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 like i said..must have dreamt it. You've got Sam into trouble now, stop dreaming
Mal C Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Here you go, second tome in a week, as it has a Cyber man.. Edited May 29, 2013 by Mal.C. 1
Pete S Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 The Northern scene wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for Butch and the other intrepid sound finders. It would be 100% nostaligia based, allnighters would not exist and of course there would be no venues playing newies. Since the advent of cd's and mp3's, everyone was able to become a dj and own more or less every sound, so thank goodness for the few who do have exclusives and one offs, and curse the people who bootleg these...otherwise every soul event in the country would be playing Moses Snmith and Epitome Of Sound. Oh hang on a minute... 2
KevH Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 You've got Sam into trouble now, stop dreaming Never.!! Sam can never be in trouble.Unlike me.......
Quinvy Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Strange how we agree on most tunes but not all. I was very disappointed with Butch's Diane Lewis. He was good enough to dig it out and play it for me at Burnley along with many more that I had only heard about from Cliff and Stuart. I personally think that the Diane lewis is far more poppy than the Jean Carter, but everyone to their own.
Guest giant Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 You aint got a chance I think you aint got a chance ( acetate) is correct
