Guest Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 It´s gotta be George Freemans "Down and out" for me. Castanets! valiant, Top sound, agree with that one. Also- George Perkins-I'm so glad your mine-? Bobby Bland - I aint myself anymore-Duke Ronni Goodson-I wouldn't give a nickel-Uptite George Jackson-I dont have the time-Mercury Clyde McPhatter-Lonely people cant afford to cry-Amy George Smith-I've had it-Turntable Little Sherman & the Mod Swingers-The price of love Ernie Washington - Lonesome track think thats enough for now, would bring a tear to a jap's eye, Haydn :dance: :dance: :dance: link Suprised Tony Michaels not mentioned. Ender at Samathas
MarkWhiteley Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 How about... High Keys - "Take a chance" - The finest B-side ever commited to vinyl Jimmy Thomas - "Above a whisper" - The second finest B-side ever commited to vinyl (and far superior to the other side ) Four Tops - "Ask the lonely" - The cheapest but by far the best version. Billlllllly
Haydn Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Forgot to mention Tony Michaels-I love the life I live and live the life I love-Golden World Used to end the night at Samantha's. Haydn
Guest Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Personally, Strange Neighborhood by the Imaginations (Fraternity)..'I'd better get going'... and I Can't Make it Without Him by Brendetta Davies (Liberty) ..'Whats left to say,when lovin' walks away?'... Bliss Last record often seems to turn to karaoke at local nights I go to ,get that buzz as everybody in room sings to Timi Yuro or Jimmy Radcliffe..
Chris Anderton Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 When I ran the Bretby nights we had several enders, Malcolm Hayes "I want to be with you" Filmtown, was the first, then came Ruby and the Romantics "Baby come home" and the longest serving ender and the last record played under my promotion, Johnny Mae Matthews " I have no choice". Chris
Guest Kolla Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Lou Johnson - It Ain't No Use Esther Phillips - Just say goodbye Timi Yuro - It'll never be over for me
Simsy Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Back in the day every all nighter that I went to no matter where it was always ended with the same three records that we all know and love Would anyone like to see a return to this and if so what are your suggestions for the 3 records to end all soul nights and all nighters, or is that sort of thing considered old hat, now that we have grown up and moved on. link At the 100 Club allnighters Ady always does the last spot and his enders will usually be - Dells Make Sure, Harold Melvin - Get out, or Four Tops - Baby I need your loving. All seem to fit well and are suitably poignant.
Headsy Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 a bit slow picking up this thread but here goes, J M matthews I have no choice William Hunt Would you believe and the very last one would have to be, Vicky Anderson Wide awake in a dream all perfect in their own right but played one after the other at the end of a long hard night just AWESOME ( IMO anyway )
Garethx Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Some cracking records mentioned already: a very good call on the Bettye Lavette version of "Almost". To me this has all the qualities of something like Pat Lewis "No-one To Love" but at a fraction of the price; it has the magical x-factor that Jimmy Delphs' version lacks. I've got to agree with Chalky on James Lately also. To me this is one of the very best Northern Soul records ever, full stop. Barbara Lynn's "This Is The Thanks I Get" 45 seems to be reaching standard status these days, and that's no bad thing, as it's a wonderful record. I'm sure Randy Cozens would have approved. He was a master at recognizing records which could evoke the nostalgia and charisma of a genuinely anthemic 'ender'. Here are a few from me: Al Johnson "Love Waits For No Man" (South Camp) George Tindley "So Help Me Woman" (Wand) Willie Wade "When Push Comes To Shove" (Nite Life)
Guest Richard Bergman Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 It´s gotta be George Freemans "Down and out" for me. Castanets! link Yeah George Freeman would be an ideal choice , Im sure Brett the Landlord would agree with you on this one !!!!!
Sweeney Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 A fascinating thread My three enders would be: Charades - Never Set Me Free (MGM) Walter Jackson - It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom (Okeh) I Need You Baby - Arthur Alexander (Monument) Not necessarily in that order though.
Steve Edgar Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Over the years i dj´d played quite a few enders, Mamie Lee-I can feel him slipping away Steve link Mamie lee..... One ov my fav tunes of all time!.. Best version too IMHO... just thinkin, flip it over for an apt ender... the excellent "The Show Is Over" Steve
Guest rachel Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Mamie lee..... One ov my fav tunes of all time!.. Best version too IMHO... just thinkin, flip it over for an apt ender... the excellent "The Show Is Over" Steve link Agreed, two lovely tracks...
Little-stevie Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 A lot of this tempo of tunes being spun at the Greystone Soul Club in Manchester and i love it...I think Greystone was the place i heard Robert Tannion "sweet Memories forn the first time.....Its just toooooooooooooooo good for words....How much is it going for and what do you lot think of it....
Paul McKay Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 That's Robert Tanner and you're right it's a fabulous choon. £1500 ish I think. Paul SITC
Little-stevie Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 That's Robert Tanner and you're right it's a fabulous choon. £1500 ish I think. Paul SITC link Sorry Robert Tanner...f*** me £1500...Its a sad day when i hear news like this...I will never be able to spin it...Thats what makes the Greystone what it is, a great underground rare soul venue...If anyone would like to check it out then send a pm/email to Mark B on soul source...Its the 3rd Sat of the Month i think..Soul Sam at the last one....
Guest in town Mikey Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Steve Good website this, and a nice piccy of Robert Tanner on home page. https://realsoul.net/?category=default
Andyf Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Given the chance I'd go for Knickerbockers - Wishful Thinking George Smith - I've Had It Mia Lewis - This Is The End
Garethx Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 There is another way of getting "Sweet Memories," Steve, so don't despair. It was also recorded by Tanner's group, The New Sound, on their Turbo lp from the early 70s. It's a far better version, with a fuller production and better sound etc. The album also has some other splendid tracks, like the former Darrell Banks cover-up "Don't Take You Love From Me," as spun by Kitch etc. in the early 90s. Here's the catch: the album is super-rare on original (I have personally seen more copies of the Megatone 45 than originals of this lp in the last five years), but exists on both CD and high quality vinyl re-issue from Japan. The re-issues are sometimes on ebay, but I'm sure if you ask around you'll be able to pick one up for prices ranging from £20 to £50. Hope this helps, gareth.
Guest hammy Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Given the chance I'd go for Knickerbockers - Wishful Thinking George Smith - I've Had It Mia Lewis - This Is The End link Knickerbockers is a nice choice - still to have its day IMHO. For me... CHARMEL DECKER - UP JUMP THE DEVIL (CORSICAN) THE TEARS - GOOD LUCK MY LOVE (SMASH) and the most soulful of them all IMHO JAMES LATELY - LOVE, FRIENDS AND MONEY...... Hammy

Marc Forrest Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) Knickerbockers is a nice choice - still to have its day IMHO. Hammy link Indeed it is ( ) and was one of four ( ) last tunes along Four Gents "Tomorrow May Never Come" Oncore James Bell "The Love Of My Girl" 3 Diamonds and Louis Curry "You Are Just Plain Nice" Reel I played at the last Hip City Edited January 21, 2005 by Marc Forrest
Garethx Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Gotta say I disagree strongly on this one, Chalky. I knew the lp version for a good few years before I heard the Rober Tanner solo 45 and could not actually believe how poor it was in comparison. The term 'half finished' springs to mind. Sorry!
