SHEFFSOUL

..the history of black music is littered with the demise of singers under tragic circumstances..DB was just another..i often wondered as a kid (when i first appreciated Otis Redding) what would have happened to Otis' career? (ironically shared same label)..would he have managed to adapt to a new style of soul..doubtful as OR success was due much to his power and vocal delivery..most had their time in the the spotlight ..some brief..which is why they are so revered now..

..recently rcvd a PR for a record that had an unnoticed tiny run in crack and scuff..all good in the end..

and there you have it!! nothing much else to say..

its all about personal choice..i prefer Doris Duke amongst others..

was this released on US?

larry banks- i'm not the one...

i always thought the c/u title was for 'Midnight brew'..

..doubtless JV played it at the casino..but i remember it first from Samanthas..deffo northern and pure nostalgia now..

in ex or better cond..pms please with details, scan if poss..

oops..pleased to be corrected..have you a label scan? and whats the shoop etc artist same or diff?

..take your pick of Bo Diddley cuts..played at the wheel , mojo etc..from '55

a mid seventies (74/75) spin was 'new jack theme'- Centuries...it was a Sheffield exclusive i think in that i only ever heard it played by John Vincent..not even the Casino had it..very fast and furious i seem to remember it was covered as the Gladiators 'that Miami sound'..

and his other ..testifyin'..remixed as 'Road to ruin' Earl Wright...

oh almost forgot...'Dress rehearsal' Van mcoy strings....and the original ( as spun at the casino in early 74) Footsee-sound of soul...there.. anyone wanna argue ?

DLA-'I need help'...stormin'....and i recently acquired 'the other side' 5 of a kind...i agree , there are hundreds..

i'll be heading to Charlotte for a while in a few weeks...any soul fans there..soul clubs..bars..clubs..live music etc...

i have the same...always thought it was orig as i bought it from Selecta late 73 i think..so must be an early boot and maybe on the scarce side?

..i had a copy late 70's..played it locally (Skegness)..didnt do much..

early to late 74 i have it on a tape from April ..interestingly KR is playing it..maybe Richards copy..took me a while to figure the artist/title and even longer to track a copy down..it goes on a bit..could stand a remix..

i remember Dean Parrish as a play late 73 early 74..i did post a topic asking when russ played DP as an ender..then i remember it became two last records..then finally 3 before 8...but i cant remember the dates to the chronology of the records..

have you got Run Baby -Dalton james and sutton..c/u as marshall bros..former richard spin...

bloody hell..remember all those..bullet was very popular but only for couple weeks..a russ spin..

ABKCO!!..no chance..if the Stones couldn't license their stuff thru Klein..

...do all the originals jump?..and if so were tone arms weighted when DJ's played them..I ask because i have somewhere a tape from Cleethorpes winter gdns 1975 i think ..Sam introduces the 45 as 'the only place thats got it' i assume he was the first DJ to own/play it and i cant remember it jumping on the tape..so was it a first press with weighted arm or second press?..just curious...

could explain away the mystery of half of Russ playlist from 1974
