As I can't get out much at the momemnt and haven't been able to for about 2-3 years, this is about the only place I hear tunes that are new to me. So I just wanted to say thanks to all those who generously share their knowledge with others here.

In the post today were two of those lovely brown packets containing three records I first heard on here in various threads:

Thelma Houston - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning - Tamla 54297 - $12 beautiful 70's

The Superiors - I'd Rather Die - Sue 12 - $25 absolutely fantastic tune!

The Manhattans - I Can't Stand For You To Leave Me - Deluxe 8460 - £15 a bit cha cha cha but sounds ten times better pitched down a bit

Three great tunes for less than 40 quid

Thanks

Paul

Absolutely!

We used to rotate the resident DJ spots and I would quite often play a load of 70's in my spot if I wasn't on last. (If you were on last it was uptempo 60's dancers all the way)

I can remember you doing a mainly 70s set when I was down there one night in 2003, I was with a friend from work, who isn't into soul in the way I am (in other words, not totally obsessed, lol).

We were having a drink and you played the Spinners' I'll Be Around, it got me up dancing, I think he was a bit surprised when I stopped drinking and started dancing. Remember Don't Send Nobody Else from that set, you might have played Game Is Over. Surprised me a bit because I thought TOS was mainly 60s, but it was a nice surprise.

I would also like to thank the people who post music files up, loads of great music I've not heard before, thanks.
