hell im stayin in tonite, but reckon this is worthwhile (sorry if this conflicts another thread, move me)

A record that gradually keeps hittin on me. think its 1976, really hot summer when we stopped drinkin Light n bita for ACE lager in Bedford. "young hearts" Candi is no 1.

Chuck Jackson "ive got the need" awesome vocals on all platinum 7ts, really needs playin out

Play this out lets us know feedback

add "Running back and forth" by Edwin anymore faves of all time faves.

Now you're confusing me - here I am trying to bring myself into the 21st centuary after years in the wilderness and you want to bring back candi staton HELP!!!

But back to your thread-----

Everything in my very dated box. Could sell for a fortune and p*ss off to the sun!

But you'd all miss me "NOT"

QOF (oh you might like to try brining my signature tune back - but i wouldn't want to see you publically stoned - hard rock type things not chemically induced stoned. Mind you there hasn't been a public flogging in Bedford for a long time could be fun)

XXXXX

The Chuck Jackson and Edwin Starr tracks are both regular plays at Sheridans and Lowton and go down well.

Think my choice would be "Eddie Daniels - Is He Better (than me)"

Old Ian Clark spin at the 100 Club back in the 80's as I remember.

Anyone got one for sale?

young hearts is a great record,i was lucky to recently find a u.k promo only 12" american disco collectors would kill for this

its a shame records like this cant be thrown in here and there on the northern scene,personally id like to see armed and extremely dangerous first choice as the top sound in the country[ the tom moulton long mix of course ]

A couple of bits I've been playing on and off which SHURELY deserve more attention:

Donnie Wells - You've Got My Love on SCEPTER : Jesus if this was covered up and unknown it would be massive. Had spins in the past but needs the dust blown off and another chance IMHO. Great £20er.

Prophets on Soul - Win My Time on MARSI: What an ender. Duelling male lead vocals, horns and mid tempo heaven. £15 or thereabouts. May have had spins in past - not 100% sure.

Stop me. I'm off to sit down.

sorry Chrissio for confusing you, i meant was harping back to mid 7ts with Chuck Jackson, Candi was an aside just mentioning that she was doing well in the clubs at the time sorry... but on reflection CS its another feelgood like "Harvest for the world" that can be aired in a modern scenario, anymore worth pushing again

Hmmmm,will have to think on that one over a pint of ace lager in The Pilgrims Inn.

They should revive Right Track. It really needs it. It should be played everywhere. As part of the Right Track revival campaign I'm going to mention it on every thread on here until my fingers ache.

As you can see I have morphed into a rock chick and I say lets hear it for Blaze of Glory, Bon Jovi - I can now see the first public flogging in Bedford on the horizon - you've got to find me first

You rock people are dead kinky. Surely you should be into that new wave of British heavy metal, not these oldies. I think.

It's prbably only a temporary morph and still getting to grip with what's 21st centuary northern never mind having to brush up my rock as well, I am only human. This leather thing is great though - those curry and beer stains just wipe away!!!!

We have been known to give "YOUNG HEARTS" a spin down on the south coast always goes down well, as it should as it's a true classic.

Derek

yay i like that one Derek but its not a norden sowl sound issit???? maybe a debate on this track as often seen mentioned on northern playlists.

Isleys "harvest" in similar vein to above, tavares "dont take away" somehow defied normal logic imo and went down a storm in the casino tho it coulda featured in "saturday night fever" just as comfortably, love all 3 records btw

IMO (not that I am known for ever having one ) Another sound that although not NS always make feel good is "Be Young Be Foolish But Be Happy", The Tams - (Perhaps it's just wishful thinking

QOF

Because I don't get around anymore, I don't know if various sounds have been resurected at some stage. Anyway one track I have always loved and didn't get the recognition it deserved(IMHO), probably because it isn't rare enough, is;

"Be's That Way Sometime" Scientists Of Soul on Kashe.

Just a good catchy song.

Ive been to few lightweight charity do's where they have played stuff like 'lets clean up the ghetto', 'centre city', and other real time soul oldies that went down a storm. Even stuff like 'streetlife' and 'carwash' sound good when not heard for a year or two.
