MrsWoodsrules Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Okay, little light hearted thread, these threads get a bit heavy at times. So, which three tracks really float your boat at the moment? What three would you open a set with? I'll start with what gets hammers on my headphones at work. Vernon Greene, Look At Me, Look At Me. Versatones, Rolin, Rolin. The Venturas, Heart Of Love. If I was a DJ, I'd open with these great tunes. What are your three 'openers' then? 3
Popular Post Scal Posted January 24, 2014 Popular Post Posted January 24, 2014 Wigan's Ovation "Skiing In The Snow" Ruth Swan "Tainted Love" Sounds Of Lancashire "Footsee". 7
Autumnstoned Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Dunno about opening a set with them but my last 3 purchases were :- Little Milton - You Ought To Be Here With Me Charles walker & Dynamites - Get Up On Living/ Still Cant Get You Out Of My Heart Masonic Wonders - Just To Behold His Face Best Mike 1
jocko Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) And there was me coming on to moan about another rock music thread, since you get so sensitive whenever I answer you on any political thread nowadays..... And get it out of freebasing and over to AATS before it veers off into progressive rock! Funny just had 3 things come up on my shuffle today in order and thought would be great adrenaline start to a set Koko Taylor Fire (amphetasoul) Erskine Mobely Luck Man (always like the one instrumental in set) Linda Jones Cant Stop Loving My Baby (Still say its her best dancer) Then Diane Lewis I Thank You Kindly and 3/4 an hour of Beat Ballads just to confirm I can't DJ Edited January 24, 2014 by jocko 3
jocko Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Wigan's Ovation "Skiing In The Snow" Ruth Swan "Tainted Love" Sounds Of Lancashire "Footsee". No sorry, even Time Vine's material is much much better. 1
Scal Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 "Not like that....just like that!" Has he got a Fez yet? Just harking back to the halcyon days......it wasn't all Salvadors; Jades; Joe Matthews......
MrsWoodsrules Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 And there was me coming on to moan about another rock music thread, since you get so sensitive whenever I answer you on any political thread nowadays..... Jocko, me sensitive, never, I love the sparing. I'll buy you a drink one day to prove I'm always happy to agree to disagree. Nice choice of sounds BTW.
jam66 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 JJ Daniels-Mr Lonesome Barbara Mercer -Hey Fantastic Four-As Long As I Live The Fantastic Four on revisiting it just blows me away, when it trips off into the melody I'm gone. 1

Bobby McClure.....................Begging You Baby......................Vanessa ( just one of my favourite records of all time.)
Sceneman Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 just curious but how come there is no famous names and classics amongst them ? do they have to be obscure to be favorite ??
Guest sharmo 1 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 just curious but how come there is no famous names and classics amongst them ? do they have to be obscure to be favorite ?? the three I chose are very well know deep / Soul records and artists / labels. But admittedly not northern soul. Regards.

Amsterdam Russ Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Always so difficult to pick a top 3, top 10, or top anything.

Mr Lucky - Freddy Hill & the Reno-Bops - Ru-Tee Hit Cookie Jackson - Do you still love me - Progress Carrie Grant - Take all of my life - New-Art
