Simon M Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 It is magic, gritty, dirty northern!! Almost pornographic then
Reg Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) 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 Delegates of Soul Barbara Mason -You better stop Pat and the Blenders...this is a big unsure???

Steve G Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 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? 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.
Lenny Harkins Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 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!!
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 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. Tony.
Guest Byrney Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 It is magic, gritty, dirty northern!! Brill, that about sums it up Tony.
Mark W Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 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 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.
Tony Smith Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Ion played it as Teen Turbans, bought off Butch.
Reg Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) No Reg lots of stuff was too slow to tplay back in the day and other struff wasn't played until post 85. some may have been known by collectors etc. 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 I'm thinking I'm older than I am, he he Edited August 29, 2008 by Reg

Mark W Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I think we can add the New Wanderers double sider (currently with it's own thread which obviously reminded me) to this 500, somewhere near the top I would suggest.

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 Tales to tell from that night as I was with some characters!!!!! Cheers, Mark R

Dunno Mark...........it felt like I was wearing flippers mate by the time I got there after lots of pints of Nuneaton's finest I remember feeling the same at a Loughbrough niter at the town hall..............maybe that was another birthday Sorry for going O/T Russ.............back on track fellas Cheers, Mark R
Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 ---- THOUGHT IT WAS - BLUE CAT LABEL??? GR8 RECORD! Yes & yes...........thinking about it, didnt Sam play this earlier ???????? Russ
Sean Hampsey Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 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! Sean
Sean Hampsey Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 As I remember was some good Modern played too, altho' I cant remember who by ???????. Russ Russ Probably Andy Whitmore at a guess? I remember the gig, but can't remember for sure who was on, Russ.
Iancsloft Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) 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 Regards Ian Cunliffe Edited August 30, 2008 by IANCSLOFT

Ady Croasdell Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Nobody dances to this anymore. I've tried to revive it recently It is good though. It's a 100 Club tune, you'd better give it me back!
Ady Croasdell Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 I played "Girl I Love You" in the mid 70's (76/77 definately) Ady.

Sean Whoops, that's slightly bolloxed my sleevenotes. At least they were half right. i thought 40 nights was the side to be spun early. was yours just at local dos or big uns?
Steve G Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 It's a 100 Club tune, you'd better give it me back! Ha ha - you sold yours then? A couple of others to add: 4 Dynamics "Things that a lady ain't supposed to do" Eddie Billups "Ask my heart"
Chalky Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 TURBINES WE CAN START OVER....actually made me take another look at northern thanx to ANDY Got a feeling Stafford, other side definitely was. Got it on a live tape somewhere, Keb.
Md Records Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 I don't think he was the first, by any means, but for the purposes of this discussion, I've got Chris Plant on a Tape somewhere playing "Garland Green - Girl I Love You" at Stafford

Steve G Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) anyone got a sound file of the Shirelles and Sammy Ambrose 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.

Chalky Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 dunno if this been mentioned.. Soul Inc - My Proposal - Coconut Grove
Guest Rich Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 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
Guest Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) ============ WAS THAT THE NIGHT WHEN ONE GUY WAS WEARING FLIPPERS!!!!!

Big Daddy Rogers - Im a Big Man-Midas Elipsis-People-Briarmeade Melvin Brown & James Matthews - Love Stormy Weather - Philmore Sound Patience Valentine - If you don't come - Sar Keni Lewis - Not the Marrying Kind Gerri Grainger-Why Cant it Be Tonight Lenny Williams-Gotta Lotta Luv-Krush Russ played at stafford by dave greet
Trev Thomas Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 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
