Popular Post Derek Pearson Posted January 1, 2017 Popular Post Posted January 1, 2017 It’s fair to say that as members of the rare soul scene - rare generally means expensive comparatively speaking and you know we all love playing them rare bits n bats - so just out of idle curiosity what was the cheapest record you regularly DJ’d with in 2016 that gave you a warm inner glow as people obviously went for it. When I say cheapest - it wasn’t aired to prove a point as such - but simply because it’s such a great sound everybody can afford. A tenner can still get you a copy today. Betty Harris “I’m Evil Tonight” (Sansu) played most recently in the second room at Calverley. Next Crossover one Friday 6th January 2017. Think Betty is also doing a live show at The Band On The Wall in Manchester in the next few months. Derek 7

Popular Post Gilly Posted January 2, 2017 Popular Post Posted January 2, 2017 What a great question Derek, never consider myself as a big time DJ but I did a bit so apart from the records I got free like Buddy Smith Larry Wright and so on I played things like Hello Stranger The Capitals, and The CODs Pretty Baby, songs that I think are equally as good if not so sort after 50 pence worth of soul 5

Like both versions Chris, but G C Cameron, absolutely rocks the right room, something happens between needle, mixer n dance floor, that turns it into something magnificent which doesnt happen at home or thru the PC Speakers, been a standard for me for over a year now after hearing Jordi drop it n it never fails mate....
Russ Vickers Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 This will set ya back about 6 bucks & it is maahooosiveeee.... 1
