Bridgesoceity Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I quite like the Howeefeel "People Of The World" I picked up from Jason at the same time as the Valdons. The Valdons is great, That funky kid Andy Whitmore put me onto that one, deffo worth some exposure at soul venues. I played this at Filthy Soul all dayer, 3

Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Hi Sean Yep, this is a cracker. Heard you spin this on some show or another! Hope yer well matey. Peter Cheers Peter, yes that's right. Have played it on the Radio and various gigs over the past 18 months. A few others are picking up on it and I feel it could well go on, at least in crossover circles, to be a classic. Hope you're well too buddy! All the best for 2014. Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 I thought this one was meant to be kept a secret..... The secret is out John Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Well said that man - If someone puts a record up they wanna hear 'out 'n' about' next year (They're tip), that some may have heard 20 odd years ago, I don't think it a hanging offence.....Yes, 'it's' been done - well let's do 'it' again shall we?!!! I really do think I'll be off on my long awaited 'Northern Soul Gap Year' very soon - I hope to see some of you on my return (If I bother) HAPPY NEW YEAR! Len Just randomly grabbed this off the shelf - What a f*ckin' record! 'Leon Haywood - You Don't Have To See Me Cry' ENJOY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZevU_oZ8Nr0 Nice one Len. Had this long time, good to see it getting spins! Sean 1
Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Another I picked up of Fish at the same time is The Dynamites feat Charles Walker (Little Charles). "Still Can't Get You Out Of My Heart" came out on the album "Love Is Only Everything. But the flip of the 45 I didn't know as it only came out on the US take of the album or so I believe. "Get Up On Living" is a great little number from the band. Have a listen at https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail////The+Dynamites+feat.+Charles+Walker/Still+Can%27t+Get+You+Out+Of+My+Heart++Get+Up+On+Living/vinyl/3981 I doubt either of the above will go big but I'm not sure many tips will get a spin on todays scene let alone go big. That 'Get Up On Living' is a really good tip Chalky. The sort of thing that'll come back and bite in 2-3 years! Nice one. Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 one more from me... known to some but still a great track... Joe Garland - That's His Girl https://soundcloud.com/user6468014/thats-his-girl Tried with this a few times over the years, mid 90's, Pitches, Phoenix years. Must have been fairly unknown back then, good to see some interest in it again. Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Always loved this thread at the start of the year but it seems to have gone a bit T*TS up this year . Maybe grumpy old men syndrome has struck , I know I,ve got it. Here a few known by some but not by others, see what ya think......... https://youtu.be/uNw1OM4b6dQ Some lovely stuff there. Great contribution Dave, in the true spirit of the thread. Someone with his ear to the ground and more than willing to share. Cheers, Sean

Popular Post Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Popular Post Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Well, after a bumpy start, I think we're getting somewhere! Some really great contributions from all around, with a few half decent newer cuts and a couple of surprise 'revivals' have made this all really interesting. And, from many of the comments I've read and received, there appears to be quite a few folk genuinely interested and grateful for the music that's been suggested, so please keep 'em coming and don't be bashful! Have just spent an hour or so tidying this lot into something resembling a list and here's how its looking: Sonny Holly - Cheating Ain't No Good- Cash Money Leon Peterson don't squeeze the sherm fire mountain Soul Rockers - "If the shoe fits ya." Buddah Lovelites - My Baby Loves Me Terry Callier - Don't Wanna See Myself The Kittens-Wait A Minute (VICK) Billy Duke-Millionaire (CAPITOL) Satisfaction Unlimited - Bright City Lights - Hot Wax Bobby Moore - Can't Get Away - Chess Sanders and CO — I’m So Glad I Know - S+C - ALBUM TRACK Smoove - Summertime Mark Williams - A House For Sale Frankie Knuckles - Lets Stay Home FJ Jones - Gone And Found Another - PS Michael Wynn - Am I Strong Enough - Buddah Leon Haywood - You Don't Have To see Me Cry Funder Cooper - I Didn't Know Paul Craver - Pyramid Miss Misty & Dillinger - Can't Stop Myron & E - Cold Game The Dynamites feat Charles Walker (Little Charles) "Still Can't Get You Out Of My Heart" Ernie Lucas - Nothing Can Seperate Me From Your Love - Okeh Ernie Shelby - Right Here Where You Left Me - Polydor James Govan - Wanted Lover - Fame Paul Vann - Soul Children - SS7 (I love the guitar) Walter Washington "The Sun don't shine" on 3 Oaks The Fabulous Chin-strokers - Your Love - G.O.G.

Sean I have to say Sean ,this for me is one of their best and they've given us a lot on a few different label s. The travesty is ,if it hadn't been for the numero group ,we never have heard this,let alone been able to own a copy of two great sides for so little money . Proof that we need to support these good people who work hard to dig deep and find this stuff . Its not all about finding and owning big ticket rare records! 11

Proof that we need to support these good people who work hard to dig deep and find this stuff . Its not all about finding and owning big ticket rare records! I totally agree Rob and the guys at Numero do a great job. They dig deep them selves plus have a wide network of peeps that help them. Along the same vain Nev I'm sure you'd want to big up Soul Junction who do an equally great job. As for Kirsty's offering of Fourth Level, unless more copies have turned up and she knows something I don't, there just aren't enough copies around for it to go big this year. As far as I know there are 4 real vinyl copies on 3 continents and not all with DJ's. I have a copy, but the other three I believe are with collectors and the reality is that I don't play out enough to really make that much impact on any record. It might become a hot topic this year, a swapped soundfile etc, but a big record, ie the general punters paying on the door, kind of known, don't think so. Think there is always a danger of this thread becoming 'I know something you don't know' a form of elitism. Where as I thought the thread was about records that have been known amongst a few collectors breaking through to being really popular. Edited January 4, 2014 by Dave Thorley 6

Popular Post Mark B Posted January 4, 2014 Popular Post Posted January 4, 2014 Just bought the notations hadn't properly listened to it before. The problem is that virtually everything that we tip will have been played before somewhere at sometime, but like a lot of last hour Mecca spins or quite a few one or two time spins at at other clubs back in the 70's they were not heard by many but a lot became popular later, these are the types of tunes we can discover/rediscover, or new releases or releases of unissued stuff. As I missed from 1981 to 1995 there is a lot of stuff that is new to me this will be the same for others on here. Not everyone is like Sean, Chalky or Steve G who have collected from when they started right through to now. So instead of being negative lets look at what's tipped you never know something might grab you that you know of and haven't listened to before. In a way this is a bit like tape swapping in the 70's. 8

Chalky Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) I agree with you Mark these topics can be a great way to pick up something you don't know or even slipped you by. I only commented on the 2007 list as I was surprised to see so many that were already well established at then time, some over many years. Sean also asked the question did any of them make it, I answered as I said Anyway been some good tips so far, especially the new releases/discoveries. Edited January 4, 2014 by chalky 3
Sean Hampsey Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Its not all about finding and owning big ticket rare records! Spot on Nev. And definitely in the spirit of the thread. As we state at the outset 'It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves. It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just have what it takes to become a monster! And more in recent times, I think we could add 'it could be a recent release that's been laying dormant for decades or something recently recorded that simply has the right 'sound'. Excellent stuff. Cheers. Sean

Russ Vickers Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I am not inviting any kind of negative debate when I say this, its purely a personal observation, I think there have been some crackin tunes posted so far, but very few of them would be suitable for an Allnighter IMVHO, some mixed in cleverly by very good DJ's could make it, most wouldn't....having said that, most would sound great at a Modern/Crossover Night.... Best Russ
Russ Vickers Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Last entry from me...a marmite tune for sure, but hasnt been off my player all Christmas & I lurrrrvvvveee it, a bit twee maybe & real instruments would have been a bonus, but dropped into a set at the right place, right time I think this could become a bit of an anthem.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e4ONC0KyGk 3
