Surely this thread is nigh on impossible (except for the borrowed funk and modern stuff) as surely most things were played somewhere up to and including Stafford?...even if it was only once?

Ok I will try a couple but they will probably fit into my previous categories :D

Delegates of Soul

Barbara Mason -You better stop

Pat and the Blenders...this is a big unsure???

No Reg lots of stuff was too slow to play back in the day and other struff wasn't played until post 85. some may have been known by collectors etc.

Okay quick run by while waiting in coffee cue

Donnie Burdick Candle In The Window

Colin Law at his peak, dance floor rocking, hands clapping, mad Scotsmen chanting Soul. I was off course at side stroking my chin in time.

Lost more records from Colin in that period, trying to think when, also lots of Allanton records although not sure they count as huge, 2 from me I would suggest

Soulful Twins - Can't Let You Go and Tears - Good Luck My Love

Also Magnetics I Have A Girl would only became popular after Stafford, would it have not, trust me I used to ask Butch to play it enough!!

come think son....think son!!

what dont you understand about the fact i stated they were both played in the 70s and 80s and yes- love comes knockin- is great but i prefer to listen to it on vinyl rather than cd

Hi Tony

The CD holds more sound info than the record has got on it and its stereo as well, I will dig it out and send it to you.

My memories not great but I kind of remember Kitch taking a copy with him to a nighter for Karl. But I can't seem to remember Kitch playing it out :D

I think I need some ginko biloba

Fred and Turbines, c/u as Teen Turbans "Say you love me"

Kitch played this for sure at Shotts, Blackburn era.

Okay maybe there are a few I admit but if you really scrutinised it I bet a lot of em have been played somewhere before 1987?.....oh hang on but if I think again I think I'm getting my dates wrong cos Im thinking of places like Parkers,Tonys.100 etc but of course that's after innit :D I'm thinking I'm older than I am, he he :thumbsup:

Stafford Working Mens Club & Mansfield Swan, Jim Wensiora sold up, then Keb played it.

Mansfield Swan..............was that "Soul Power Soul Club"??...................if so, that's filled a gap for me, as I spent my 21st birthday at a nighter in Mansfield (late Nov '87), but could never remember the name of the place, just that it was "Soul Power Soul Club" as I recall............seem to recall a dingy, low ceiling place?? I was very drunk though..........it was an impromtu visit :D:thumbsup:

Tales to tell from that night as I was with some characters!!!!!

Cheers,

I don't think records like Garland's Ain't That good Enough or Girl I Love You got played until the 80s. john Edwards versions of Ain't That and How Can I Go On Without You certainly didn't.

I played "Girl I Love You" in the mid 70's (76/77 definately) Ady.

Don't think I was the first either, although many favoured the flipside (40 Days & Nights) at the time as it was more uptempo and more suited to what was happenin' (but not more suited to my playlist o' course).

Had a copy of "Ain't That Good Enough" around the same time too, but ever don't remember playing it, favouring G I L Y whenever I dropped a GG track!

:D

Jokers - Soul Sounds - Sko Field (Rob M)

=====================================================

Cant remember Rob ever having the Jokers as far as i am aware it was discovered in the 90,s

by Stevie Z & Neil Brown on a trip Stateside Stevie played it to me when he came back

and a couple months later Neil traded me his copy which i played out at the rarest of the rare niter

at the Ritz Manchester after i played it both Butch and Andy Rix asked me what it was and i showed them

it, later that year i sold that copy to Ginger Taylor and got another copy later that month off George Rouse

who found it at Times Square records New York i traded my Tomangoes with George for it gggrrr

anyone got a sound file of the Shirelles and Sammy Ambrose :thumbsup:

No 7 is of course Walter`Wilson. When the tapes were discovered that's the name they had on it. It wasn't til later that the record turned up they found that the tapes had the wrong name on. A piece of trivia.

It was, Andy Dyson probably the first I remember spinning this at the Hoist in Conisboro that Andy and Rod ran.

Great venue the Hoist. to coin Garethx's phrase, a nailed on monster from that venue was Little Anthony's 'Never again'.

Back on the Newsound's, wasn't that pre-Stafford - I had it in me collection well before the Conisboro days. And I'm sure I remember it played covered up as Darrell Banks late Wigan or maybe Clifton Hall. Prob wrong as I'm not great with dates and venues - it's all a blur at times :thumbsup:

I've the worst memory in the world but

Many classics post Stafford came about by simply flipping tunes made popular at TOTW,

eg Jack Montgomery, Tangeers etc.

How about

Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe

Little Ann - Who Are you trying To Fool

Purple Mundi

Soul Set - Will You Ever Learn

Brand New Faces - B N F

True Image - Not over you yet

Martha reeves - Noone There

Oxford knights - We can make it.

Some of those may have been Stafford too.

Plus the Luther Ingram one that Ady plays. I dont get it, but everyone else raves about it, and it fills the 100 club floor every time.

spun by guy & keb at stafford
