MAL C, Thanks for the list mate, some great tunes her and some I don't know; but good old youtube will help me out I'm sure.Ive got The Natural Four-Love's so wonderful. 70s Magic. I bet you would like: A Little On The Blue Side-Spellbinders . Happy Xmas Rod

I can give 50 lists like that Rod, there are tons and tons of tracks, to be honest I wonder why we have these discussions some times, if you want fresh music to play, if your a DJ and all that, its out there.... believe me, thousands of em...

Here's one that draws a blank look at times from some of the oldies brigade.Others know it,and so they should,but can't remember the last time i heard it out. For Rod....   https://w

Mal is right it is out there, the support for them isn't, even from them who constantly claim they want an upfront night sick of oldies etc etc.

Hey" thanks everyone,so many great tracks you have mentioned on the thread.New a lot but a few had escaped me,I've played TRY ME by SYL JOHNSON at one of the alldayers and heard Carms play it out; great track Kev Farley mentions by THE SPELLBINDERS which is a great double header with the top draw CHAIN REACTION on the other side, also like his other choice in TALKIN; BOUT JONES by BOBBY JONES which needs to be played. I hadn't heard THATS WAS THE WHISKY TALKIN by RONNIE FORTE before but I'll have to look out for it.THE DIPLOMATS AND DRAKE & theEN-SOLIDS our what's it about..,GREAT UNDERPLAYED NORTHERN SOUL. Thanks again Rod

James Lately just a dirge to my ears. Don't think anyone would be interested it it wasn't rare. Just my personal opinion of course.

Blew my head of first time I heard it and I had no idea if it was rare or not. To be honest I didn't give a flying.

IMO a fantastic record :)

You're right mate. One of the finest records ever made Kev. Big up To Gilly for having the taste to spot this.

couldn't tell you.....never read the book......posted it 'cos its an oldie that I don't hear at oldies nights, thought that was the gist of the thread  :g:

I thought it was to list records that might (or should) go down with the oldies crowd outside of the top 500 mate.

tiz a great record.

 

gasher on here traded his copy with Weston for a current huge indemand uptempo floorfiller,so Weston wanted it for its pure soul content.

 

but alas,it wouldn't break into the break the 500 mould.

Wrong, being championing cheap mid-tempo records along with the rare for 30 yearsalong with the likes of Chalky,Gilly, Jock O,connor, Ady Harley, Gaz Kellet and on and on

That's exactly right Andy, lot's of blank faces, it's a fantastic soulful tune, however it ain't a dancer, & Top 500 nights are about the dance floor.

must admit a lot of the suggestions that have been put up,are prob classed as oldies now to those who stayed on the scene late 80s/90s,lol

 

wasn't about the speed then(records,not the gear),beat ballads,mid-tempo,r&b,60s newies or semi-known(even tape swappers sometimes) if it was good we/they would dance.

I would love to hear more lesser known tracks at top 500 nights, but  most underplayed / Rare soul enthusiasts won't go a long to their local oldies night & hound the promoters & DJ's to play something different,  So by default it's all top 500. Not a critisism more an observation.

I found this im my mates collection I bought & had never heard it before(just sold it tho).

 

if it isn't already an oldie,its sounds just right & first few seconds would get me up on the dance floor.

 

pacesetters/ im gonna make it / minit.

 

 

 

Minit label strikes again. So many great tracks on the label.

was worse when I dj'd for years on scooter scene,had to play the same old northern everytime(along with,ska,reggie,punk,psychobilly,indie etc) they moaned if playd northern they didn't know.but was always the northern that got them running to the dancefloor,lol.

 

in those 15years only 2 new northern records come to mind that got excepted in....

 

ketty lester / some things are better left unsaid  & Nolan porter / if I could only be sure

 

weird tho a mid-tempo & a 70's,lol.

Here's another one. Classic Northern, sh*t rare, still not widely known (probably because most of the "top jocks" haven't got a copy)

 

Billy Harner - I've got to check you out
