These two in my playbox for most of 2014......

If you ever need a reminder of how good Levi Stubbs voice was just listen to the control he has. He can go from a whisper to a roar in an instant, while at the same time sounding effortless and melodic. Accapella version was only ever released on the lost and found CD series as far as I'm aware. Very hard to get hold of and £80 when released Rip Levi........

I knew Clive from the early days at Samanthas and from college when we were both apprentice bricklayers, he never seemed to be any different in all the years I knew him. Just getting ready to attend his funeral now, no doubt there will be a big turnout to give him a good send off ....... Rest in peace Clive

Can't fault any of the above, so many of my own favourites in there. Surprised no one has mentioned David Ruffin - Walk away from love!!!

Plenty of venues playing rare underplayed and still plenty of records for us to hear for the first time. Choose the venues you go to wisely, the underground scene still exists at these venues and the northern soul circus and it's clowns don't find their way there!!!

You said exactly what i was goin to say!!!!

Always thought the Gold Parkway label was a re-issue

Beat me to it 123, there you go

Depends what you collect, there's a nice French Stateside copy. I'm happy with my US Parkway issue, whichever one you go after even the Parkway demo shouldn't cost you more than £40-£50, underated record imho and still cheap!!!

I have a couple of records that have cracks, might have a go at this.......

That sounds just like me...... also aged 57 thank god there are still people like us looking for something different to listen to and share with the "floor" instead of just playing the same old crowd pleasers all the time....
