Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Thought this might be a laugh. I've fished out a few tracks which I can honestly say I have never heard played at a venue since the days they were 'big', some going back to 1975! So I thought it would be interested to see if anyone remembered them, and if anyone is hearing some for the first time, what their opinions are. They are all out of my own collection (shock, the first 5 are 70's) except the last one which is just my idea of a little joke Okay here is no.1

vaultofsouler Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 no.5 link Think this one's The Knights (?) "When You Drop Your Guard (Love Knocked You Down).... Still got buried somewhere in an old pile....
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 no.10 actually this is a bit of a mistake because the best part of this track is the last third when it really goes uptempo and turns into a bit of a cracker, I've cut it at half way so it'll sound crap
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 Aw come on, is nobody else playing today???
vaultofsouler Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Aw come on, is nobody else playing today??? link Can't say I recall most of them Pete.... memory lapse maybe .... Apart from no.5.... was it what I said ?....
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 Can't say I recall most of them Pete.... memory lapse maybe .... Apart from no.5.... was it what I said ?.... link Yes it was mate. Most of the others are from around that period as well.
Stevecee Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 no.3 link Life = Tell Me Why Great 70s tune
Stevecee Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 of my own collection (shock, the first 5 are 70's) except the last one which is just my idea of a little joke Okay here is no.1 link Dianne Jenkins - Tow A Away Zone What was her other tune?
Stevecee Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 no.5 link The Knights, I think nearly all the Soul packs from the late 70s included this, You Better Keep Her and SInce I Talked To My Baby
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 Dianne Jenkins - Tow A Away Zone What was her other tune? link That was called 'I need you' - remember Levine absolutely raving over both of those
Guest Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 no.2 link What is it? Great track that I have def heard lots of times. Just cannot put a name to it.

wendy Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 this is the best thing i've heard in ages! my computer played all the tunes at the same time, it sounds mental how do i make them play 1 at a time?? ta
Headsy Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 seen a few Kelly Garretts for sale lately !! still working thru them,
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 What is it? Great track that I have def heard lots of times. Just cannot put a name to it. link That one is "Girl you better wake up" by Liberty on the BASF label. The a side is a horrendous vocal but that inst used to sound great. Got a tape of Wigan 3rd anniversary with Alan Rhodes playing it, never heard anyone else play it.
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 The very last one was Judy Gee (Etta Thomas) on UK Route slowed down to 33 then sped up to about 38 rpm hey if it was 1978 that would probably have got played!

Guest Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Number 2 is Liberty - Girl you better wake up - BASF. A corker
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 1 Diane Jenkins 3 Life 4Ikettes 5knights 6Camp Can't put a name to the others but definatly remember hearing 2,7 &10 somewhere link Sort of right with 6, it's actually Val Simpson and as far as I know, it only came out on a Kent cd, but yeah the backing track is The Camp. Thats a record I have never actually seen. The rest are right, well done for remembring the Ikettes, thought that was long forgotten
Headsy Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Right you just need to get 8 9 10 11 link 8s Kelly Garrett , loves the answer on Smash , need to think a bit more on the others
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 8s Kelly Garrett , loves the answer on Smash , need to think a bit more on the others link INCORRECT ANSWER !!!
Headsy Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 cant remember what 9 is called ,on a goldmine CD,damn it !!! is 10 a British release ? other 2 no idea, all you have done is screw my mind up now Pete
Headsy Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 INCORRECT ANSWER !!! link doh !! what is it then
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 doh !! what is it then link You were really close but you got 2 records mixed up - it's actually The Lollipops - Love is the only answer - RCA
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 No 9 is the Belles link Yes it is. Just 10 and 11 left now.
Guest Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Is no 10 Phil Coulter? And no 11 is a b side to something well known i think.
Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 Is no 10 Phil Coulter? And no 11 is a b side to something well known i think. link No it's called "Don't make promises" and it is uncredited, on a label called Yorkville, I presume it's the backing track to a vocal of that name but it doesn't have the vocal on the other side. The other side is called "New Dawn" by Stitch In Time.

Be a mate and do another one tomorrow Pete. Would have got 1-5 easy peasy plus the Belles and the Lollipops. Thought 6 was The Camp. Can't remember Bobs Band though !

Pete S Posted December 21, 2004 Author Posted December 21, 2004 Oops it wasn't meant to be a quiz, it was too see if anyone had heard these records played out at all! Steve I'll do a proper forgotten oldies quiz later then eh, maybe 20 x 30 second snippets. Nothing too obscure, all will have been played. The missing one that nobody answered was Teresa Lindsey - It's Love - Correctone
Guest Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Diane Jenkins Not heard in ages. Sounds fresh, maybe could be revived. link Can remember saying why didn't this get played instead of Nino Tempo. Have got a tape somewhere with this being played back to back with I Need You, probably Ritz 75. Gaye

The missing one that nobody answered was Teresa Lindsey - It's Love - Correctone Only just reading through these. Teresa Lindsey might well have been played recently at a venue not far from you Pete. I know Col's played this somewhere this year. First 30 mins or so at the Station often a selection of never played these days oldies. Gaye
