Wiganer1 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 for me paramount four is one of the best discoveries of recent times perfection well done ady on the list will have to get down the 100 club again in 2015 3
Guest johnny hart Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 From an ex Up T,North,super sounds Ady ,Paramount 4 and Nancy wilcox so commercial why not more popular with the populace?
Spacehopper Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 that's a much better chart!! pervis lee -you don't care sock a poo poo Maurice mckinnies 3
Spacehopper Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 any news on the etta james getting a release ady?
Ady Croasdell Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 From an ex Up T,North,super sounds Ady ,Paramount 4 and Nancy wilcox so commercial why not more popular with the populace? Nancy Wilcox there's only three known copies but the Paramount 4 should be played as an anniversary 45 or as the Kent re-release; that is if the DJ digs the music rather than the rarety. Thanks 3
Ady Croasdell Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 any news on the etta james getting a release ady? Nope, hopefully I should know early next year
Quinvy Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Come on Ady, no bugger else has them only you. And as you know only too well, once you release them, no bugger will play them. I used to play them when I was Dj'ing because they are quality, but I got them cut off the Cd's before they were released on vinyl. Played quite a few of the Anniversary singles though, and we all hammered "good news in the morning" and that must have sold a few copies. It's a funny old game though mate.

Well that's encouraging at least and I know a lot of people have had acetates done of Etta James and rightly so.

Towanda Barnes - You Don't Mean It has been getting big plays in the North this year. Sag War Fare - Must say I prefer the flip!
Soulfinger Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 that's a much better chart!! Too right! Looking forward very much to the release of Etta James. 1
Mellorful Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 It's been around for ages but often overlooked Any chance of Loretta Williams - 'Baby Cakes' making an impact nationwide, its recently started to get a few plays at several NW venues and it gets the dancers on the floor? 1

I always thought it was a bit of a jerky rhythm when it was last big around 1970; great record though. I'd be happy if it spread. Maxine Brown did a good version produced by Otis Redding 1
Spacehopper Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 had a few plays this year in the sw too
Stubbsy Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 for me paramount four is one of the best discoveries of recent times perfection well done ady on the list will have to get down the 100 club again in 2015 Spot on Mark - maybe one of the best discoveries of all time Very surprised to see the Tams in there Ady! Chart hit I know but great record all the same Is that a Butch spin?

Guest irishpip Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Some popular tunes in Dublin this year: Sacred Four - Somebody Watching you King Earnest - The Soul Stroke Dyna Might - Soul Has No Color Little Richard - Get Down With It
Geoff Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I always thought it was a bit of a jerky rhythm when it was last big around 1970; great record though. I'd be happy if it spread. Maxine Brown did a good version produced by Otis Redding I think Otis produced the Loretta Williams version. It was played at the Scene back in 1965. Our missing friend Rbman used to love it when he heard it out. Got a good flipside too.

Ady Croasdell Posted December 19, 2014 Author Posted December 19, 2014 Judging by the dance floor last night The Snake ain't in the charts but You're Ready Now is a smash! 1
Benji Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Judging by the dance floor last night The Snake ain't in the charts but You're Ready Now is a smash! Archetype Northern IMO. I'll never get tired of hearing it. BTW, seeing the Judy Freeman track in your list. Did you end up with the testpress?
Martyn Pitt Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Towanda Barnes - You Don't Mean It has been getting big plays in the North this year. The Ohio Players version is worth looking out for on Compass
Guest Juniorsoul Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 The Ohio Players version is worth looking out for on Compass Yeah, I know it mate. Wrote a blog on it a few weeks ago, still prefer Towanda's (or Gloria's?) version

Quinvy Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 The Etta James and Sharon Scott tunes are bloody marvellous. If only there were more of that ilk, I might even go out. Fantastic, well done Ady.

A great track, I remember playing this on my Radio show as a tribute to Otis Reading as it was him that wrote it, co owned the label Jotis and the backing band are (or were) the Bar kays who some members along with Otis Reading died in the plane crash. This is often overlooked I also think I played this at the 100Club a couple of years ago as well, a great track Andy 1

This is often overlooked I also think I played this at the 100Club a couple of years ago as well, a great track Andy Several venues played it in the NW, I have heard it spun at Monaco soul club, Northern line, Soul at the Services and Ramsbttom Civic in the last 3 months. Definitely not a tune for handbaggers.... If it doesn't make the 2014 list, it should make the 2015 list. Fingers crossed. Awesome legacy from Otis, mind blowing to think what he could have produced had he still been with us today.
Benji Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Baby Cakes also done by Maxine Brown. Sort of more polished version, quite nice. But not as frantic as Loretta.
