Guest in town Mikey Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 Trying my hardest to remember the ones I've forgotten. But when I remember, they arent forgotten anymore. It is so bloody frustrating.
Guest Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 l johnny hamilton - oh how i love you shit havent logged in grant
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Here is one for Grant, that is not only a forgotten oldie, but one of those stomping instrumentals that always get ignored. Willie and the mighty magnificents - Souling (Covered up as Frankie Crocker - Danger zone)
Guest in town Mikey Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Cheers Grant. Was really fed up when a friend sold a copy, and she knew I loved it. C'est la vie. Got one that isnt a forgoten oldie, might even be overplayed in some clubs I havent been tolately, but is an absolute monster in my bedroom is: Lillie Bryant - Meet me halfway. One of those records you could use to 'define' Northern Soul to the uninitiated.
