Soul Shrews Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Just read a revue of this by Ian Levine in an old Black Music magazine from October 1975. A record I"d associated with Richard Searling later Wigan Casino. So was this played earlier ? Cheers Paul 1

A record I"d associated with Richard Searling later Wigan Casino. So was this played earlier ? Cheers Paul I've got a cassette tape that Ian did for me around 1973/4 with Jimmy Burns on it. I'm not sure Ian played it at Blackpool or The Blue Room at Sale but may have done a couple of times with little response . The tape was on repeat in the car so much that it slowed up or ground to a halt. He had so many of this type of record that he wasn't pushing. By this time he was moving to more 70s records such as The Carstairs, Oscar Perry, Marvin Holmes etc. 3
Popular Post Soul Shrews Posted December 15 Author Popular Post Posted December 15 Thanks for that Rick. Heres the review. He also revues Joseph Moore "I Can t Get To You" in the same issue along with some more 60s. Cheers Paul 4
Theothertosspot Posted December 15 Posted December 15 (edited) As far as I recall Sam had the copy off Levine (Jimmy Burns) and started playing it before Richard did. As always I could be mistaken Edited December 15 by Theothertosspot 2

Soul Shrews Posted December 15 Author Posted December 15 Wow like a Tom Moultan mix ! I don"t doubt your memory just never heard Sam play Jimmy B Do you remember the venue ? Date ? No big deal . I started this topic because I was surprised Jimmy B was reviewed as early as 75 Cheers Paul
Solidsoul Posted December 16 Posted December 16 (edited) The first time I heard Jimmy Burns was at Wigan Casino in the late 70's, but I'm not sure if it was Richard Searling or Soul Sam that played it. I thought Jimmy Burns was great, but was not too keen on Brand New Faces. I do also like the Bobby James version as well. Edited December 16 by Solidsoul
Ian Parker Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Some records stick, Jimmy burns is one of them. Soul Sam spin, late 70s, who played it first, no idea, but I remember Sam pushing it.

Soul Shrews Posted Friday at 20:02 Author Posted Friday at 20:02 (edited) Maybe Merve, I don't know. I didn't hear Arthur DJing until the Snaith events which were pretty much all "Modern " Cheers Paul Edited Friday at 20:04 by Soul Shrews sp
Theothertosspot Posted Saturday at 14:58 Posted Saturday at 14:58 Soul Sam was playing Jimmy Burns in 1978. It's on a tape at an all lighter at Colwyn Bay loaded on Mixcloud. I also recall him playing at Coalville Tiffany's around the same time. Regards
Peter99 Posted Saturday at 17:23 Posted Saturday at 17:23 Ian Levine described Jimmy Burns as a 60's stomper in the review. Now, given some of the "stompers" which were played around the same time, lots of them 100 mile an hour non soul rubbish, I would say that Jimmy's record was more mid tempo. Just a personal opinion. Either way it's a fabulous dance track, something I've always liked, and one I associate with Martin (Soul Sam). Peter

Theothertosspot Posted Saturday at 19:28 Posted Saturday at 19:28 Delites, Lover recall being played at Notts Palais all-dayer in 77 a short time before I heard Jimmy Burns and Johnny Hampton. However all three were first played by Sam to my ears . Regards

I've always loved it, fantastic dance track and I concur - I always associate this with Sam. Peter 54 minutes ago, Theothertosspot said:

Sulerb record but more mid tempo as you said. I switch between this and Bobby jones love both versions. 1
