Harrogatesoul Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Not sure if this has been done before but if it hasn't..... There's been plenty of Wigan/Torch/ compilations - Think Goldmine did a Stafford Story. Classic 45s that defined an era/venue or turning point in the UK Soul Scenes exisitence. Got me thinking what hadn't been done or should be done? You could right back to the Twisted Wheel /Flamingo/6T's clubs right up to present day. I know on some sales would be minimal but here's a couple to start off with. Canal Tavern Thorne . - Surely a contender? 100 Club - Same as above. (Unless I'm mistaken surely Ady could be allowed to blow his trumpet on this one?) Any ideas on more? Potential Track Listing? Do some need re-looking at/ re-evaluating? Regards Rich
Harrogatesoul Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Good one Chalky - Been a young 'un it's a venue I never went to yet you see that mentioned more than enough to warrant some respectful overview. Potential tracks? Rich
Bazza Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I would like to see a twisted wheel compilation, to show the mid 40's youngsters where it all started Bazza
Guest Goldwax Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Could The Dome (CSC) be mentioned as a contender? Not strictly an all-nighter and probably not responsible for breaking as many tunes as the above mentioned legends but it did have a positive impact on the scene in London at that time.
Sebastian Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 100 Club - Same as above. (Unless I'm mistaken surely Ady could be allowed to blow his trumpet on this one?) Kent released a truly superb CD in 2005 which celebrated the early 6T's and 100 Club events, check it out: https://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?pa...mp;release=4494 It's called "6Ts: In The Beginning" and I hope there will be further volumes.

Agreed : a very creditable compilation ..... I asked Ady about further volumes of 6Ts material , prior to the first CD being released ; he stated that he did not know when , or if that would happen , due to the comittment he had on / with other Kent releases ..... At the Cleethorpes Winter Gardens event in February , the promoter Ian Paling and I talked about a CD containing the real Cleethorpes sounds ; he informed me that there will be a definitive Cleethorpes CD released sometime in 2007 .....

Guest bill storey Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 As a new guy and having not been to the great legendary venues of old I think it would be good to see some Dj compilations coming out, I see ads for and hear people raving about the likes of Ginger, Butch, Soul Sam etc but am I wrong in thinking they work as guests to venues as opposed to regular dj's these days, if for instance I had a compilation from one of these top line dj's that would maybe encourage me and many others the go and see for real, also a nice payday for the hard work put in by these guys.
Pete S Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 There's already two Twisted Wheel compilation cd's from Goldmine (might even be 3). They also did a good Cleethorpes one.
Guest Jamie Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) A Mecca one too. 2 Mecca ones Infact, I'd be careful when buying said CD's from Goldmine. I bought Spirit Of The Mecca for my Old Man, and when it turned up is was a crappy laser copy disc and colour laser copy of the sleeve with no notes. I had the original one when it came out and it had a full booklet. Seems they've run out and won't pay for a new run, just burn them off :angry: Don't mind charging full whack though Edited June 7, 2007 by Jamie

Ginger Taylor brought one out a couple of years ago.
Cheapsiderecords Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Agree with Jamie. Bought the 1st Modern Soul one from Kops in Toronto. Same, black and white laser copy on disc and no sleeve notes.
Guest Michael Higgins Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Ginger Taylor brought one out a couple of years ago. Re: the idea of compilations around DJs. It doesn't seem that likely that a current DJ would want the best of their current plays compiled on one CD -- although it'd be nice if they would -- but the idea of a compilation of past and present DJ's best plays down the years would be equally good (to me at least). I'd opt for Rushbrooke, Hennigan and Brady to kick off with. Butch's inclusion would go without saying! There again, I want a Deep Soul Inferno volume 2, and ideas like mine sell squat product.
Guest bill storey Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Any ideas where I could get hold of a Ginger Taylor cd or are they going to be the vinyl of the future i.e. rare and too pricey for humble me.
Guest rachel Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Re: the idea of compilations around DJs. It doesn't seem that likely that a current DJ would want the best of their current plays compiled on one CD Nope it doesn't, and who can blame them when there's people who'd buy it and be straight on to Vinyl Carvers... Any ideas where I could get hold of a Ginger Taylor cd or are they going to be the vinyl of the future i.e. rare and too pricey for humble me. Try Amazon.
Guest Roccia Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Any ideas where I could get hold of a Ginger Taylor cd or are they going to be the vinyl of the future i.e. rare and too pricey for humble me. I think there are two Ginger's CDs around: GT Northern Soul Banquet, and The Brighouse Ritz Story. Sorry but I can't remember the label, even I'm pretty sure they're on Goldmine... Then I've got even an unofficial CD compliled by Ginger with Terry Davies about tunes played at The Longfield Suite in Prestwich... Hope this helps Bill
Harrogatesoul Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 OK so we've had: Clifton Yate Canal Tavern 100 Club ( 80s/90s Club Biggies?) Dome - CSC Any more? Tracklistings? Ideas? Not really aiming this thread about particular Dj's CDs........ Rich
Chalky Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Could The Dome (CSC) be mentioned as a contender? Not strictly an all-nighter and probably not responsible for breaking as many tunes as the above mentioned legends but it did have a positive impact on the scene in London at that time. Used to love the Dome the first three years or so. Granted the Dome did break some new sounds but to my memory not that many, certainly not prolific. Most had been played over the years. Maybe they were to a newer audience? Edited June 7, 2007 by chalky
Chalky Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Kent released a truly superb CD in 2005 which celebrated the early 6T's and 100 Club events, check it out: https://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?pa...mp;release=4494 It's called "6Ts: In The Beginning" and I hope there will be further volumes. Sure Ady mentioned there would be further when time. I did send him some copies of live tapes i did in '87.
Guest Glawsters Best Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) How about a Yate cd? Dave Thorley should get involved with putting together a yate CD COME ON DAVE Edited June 7, 2007 by Glawsters Best
Guest Mart B Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I would like to see a twisted wheel compilation, to show the mid 40's youngsters where it all started Bazza If it wasnt for "wigan" bazza you 51 plus dinasaurs wouldnt have any soul club to go to today fact!.
Chalky Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Not so much a venue as several during the post Stafford era......The original Soultown nighters, Tony's Empress Ballroom (Blackburn and Mexboro) both run by Guy, Bradford Queens Hall, Winding Wheel in Chesterfield, Mucky Duck (Black Swan) Mansfield, early Keele. Lots of venues really mid 80's to early 90's that the top DJ's frequented before the onset of the returnees. Edited June 7, 2007 by chalky
Guest Matt Male Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) OK so we've had: Clifton Yate Canal Tavern 100 Club ( 80s/90s Club Biggies?) Dome - CSC Any more? Tracklistings? Ideas? Dome is a good call. What about The Oddfellows Leicester? Always overshadowed by The Top of the World, but a top niter in my opinion. Or Morcambe Pier? Edited June 7, 2007 by Matt Male
Guest Neil-ok Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Thought about this one a few times. I asked a while ago about a Morecambe Pier(or just Morecambe one),cant understand why one hasn't been done over the years. Probably go with a Queens Hall Bradford one as well .
Bazza Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 If it wasnt for "wigan" bazza you 51 plus dinasaurs wouldnt have any soul club to go to today fact!. Ger out...when was Wigan anyway an what about Cleethorpes pier Bazza
Soul Shrews Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 How about "The Oak Hotel Shrewsbury.......................birthplace of modern soul" If only to get SteveGs drawers in a knot Playlist could include; Charles Johnson " Never....." Pages "Heartaches..." Jean Carn "No No You Cant........." CL Blast "Lets Do............" Tyrone Davis "Are You............" Norman Conners "I Dont Need........" Mtume "Juicy......" Walter Jackson "If I Had...........'' Jerry Butler "Walk On .........." From the Shrewsbury Collective .....................plus Cheryl Burdell, Collins and Willpower, Mike Jemison, Tommy Tate, Larry Houston etc from Richard Searling and er.................Coffee "Casanova" from Sam !
