SHEFFSOUL

..theres also a white demo bootleg kickin about...

..agreed..remember them being played at the same time..a great northern track..

pretty sure Tami Lynn and others sang back up vox on the overdubs for 'Exile on Main st' at sunset sound...

pm sent..

help wanted...how can i route audio (from my record decks ) into my computer (so it plays thru my laptop) so i can re record it on freecorder? i used to record thru magix but that was on old laptop..my cables dont work..can someone suggest how i acheive this..

...'Hangin me up' Jonny Dunn- Veep issue..£1.50 casino 1974..cos i'd seen it listed as played at VA-VA's..one i managed to keep...

..what about the Detriot land apples? listed but ive never seen one..

..nope ..never seen it..deffo a curio..

ok..count me in..

...my final word..i never said it was crap..far from it..ive LR records in my collection..also Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry,Wolf etc..but 'get down..' always sounded R&R to me as opposed to R&B..wont be the last record played out that raises the odd eyebrow..

harsh..maybe ..on reflection..my personal memories of this track are rockers/greasers dancing to it in discos during summer holidays at Skegness alongside 'silver machine' hawkwind..i thought it was odd (to me ) to hear it @ Winding Wheel after so many northern classics..

..AFTER SOME GREAT TUNES AT THE WINDING WHEEL ON SAT NITE..I WAS AMAZED TO HEAR THIS BEING PLAYED!! SINCE WHEN WAS THIS NORTHERN SOUL? A ROCK N ROLL CLASSIC MORE LIKE.nOW I KNOW LR HAS RECORDED SOME GREAT SOUL TRACKS..BUT COME ON..WHATS NEXT ? SLADE?..CAN ONLY ASSUME ITS BECAUSE OF THE R&B INFLUENCE..BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF THE GREAT R&R SHOW AT WEMBLEY IN THE EARLY 70'S WITH THE ROCKERS DIPPING THEIR SHOULDERS..HANDS IN POCKETS..OH DEAR..THANKFULLY I HEARD mARGARET LITTLE 'LOVE WILL FIND A WAY' FOR THE FIRST TIME..FAITH RESTORED..

FELT LIKE SMACKIN' HIM SOMETIMES..I PROB WASN'T THE ONLY ONE...

WHAT NO REFUND! THATS BAD..

hmmn..interesting..i spoke to Searling when he was still playing Jades as an exclusive..he said he bought it from a guy fairly local '..for £6 ..because it looked rare..' never mentioned a second copy..

first heard Larry Clinton @ cleethorpes spun by Sam..

..is he still in UK? i thought he relocated to US...

..i had great stuff also..among them..soul bros inc on pyramid, the second copy of 'sweet music' chris cerf ( a massive exclusive for soul sam at the time, i sold mine to Kev roberts)..Joseph moore, Enchanters 'love with your daughter' several copies..plus loads more semi known which i used to sell on for £2-3..again i wish i had kept more..

.... MUST'VE BEEN A GOOD ONE TO FOOL YOU!

very true..and many stayed away in a sort of protest..definitely not a true reflection of the casino at that time..tho the film is revered as it is probably the only in existance from that period.Unfortunatey at this time there is no footage of the great dancers who used to perform from 73-75 ..lost to memory..

..CURIOUS TO KNOW WHICH WAS THE FIRST ISSUE, SPQR OR LEGRAND? OR WERE THEY SIMULTANEOUS..WERE THERE LATER VERSIONS/UPDATED REMIXES? AND CURRENT VALUES PLS..THANKS IN ADVANCE..

..first time i went..April '74..there was definitely talk of ..best dancers at the front..i spent a good couple of hours watching Gethro dancing approx 6'-10' from the front.My first venture onto the floor was well towards the back..tho it was difficult to find a spot during the early days.Later i danced at the front, mostly to keep an eye on my bag which was on the stage, tho i was a fair dancer.Later i remember a guy who would dance side to side across the entire width of the floor, people would move out of his way..we nicknamed him typewriter..no idea who he was..

..yes..remember the beachcomber from early '74 onwards maybe for a year or so? there was a DJ who played mainly oldies..and scalding cups of tea! Always had a very tense atmoshere.. i think because so many people were coming down! and yes there were a few mean looking characters..i never dared to ask anyone to look at their records..i once taped a DJ session in there ..esp ' comin to your rescue'..when i got home ..discovered the Batts were low and when i got new ones the track played twice as fast & DJ sounded like pinky & perky..i think it was mainly to keep the folks off the streets as nobody seemed too bothered about going home..as for bouncers..i once took Steve Clarke from Worksop to Wigan about the same time..he WAS hard! he was always skint..so he led me down the side of the casino thru a side door..thru the corridors..until a bouncer appeared..Steve glared at him..and he never said a word! just let us pass..needless to say i was more than a little anxious..whatever happened to Steve? would Kev Roberts remember him?

..at the crucial age of 14/15..youth club..fairground..(growing up in Skegness)..football grounds..even school disco..small collisions..pushing you toward the music..the style,girls etc were important but the driving force was always the music.So, the 'Skid' a fairground ride operated by Brian Saunders a local with enormous sideburns being older had all the Motown hits..plus Atlantic/Stax..was a popular hangout..he played mostly soul 45's thru a sound system to attract customers.First heard the Tams 'Hey girl'..heard ska at Molineux ..soul at Bramhall lane,Hillsboro,and City ground.I then hung out with two soul sisters from Boston who procurred a C60 tape from a local DJ/soul fan..no track listing..(it took me quite some time to figure it out) but many great tunes..'Darkest Days'..'Cigarette Ashes'..Barbara Lynn, Carstairs,Major Lance..this would be the summer of 1971..then with me in tow the Rainbow sisters took me to the Boston Gliderdrome..and the 'Starlight room..where many top acts had starred..Stevie Wonder,Ike & Tina.and many more..the first time there was similar to first time at the casino..kind of 'candy store'..feeling.I remember hearing 'Soothe Me'..'Thats enough'.'Thank you baby' ''Here i go again'..that was it..later in '72 at the Maple room in Skegness during the summer soul fans from Boston/Kings Lynn would bring records for the local DJ (Col Custers roadshow) to spin..Sam & kitty, Sliced Tomatoes..and the buzzword was ..THE TORCH..after the Casino opened , i moved to Sheffield so i go go each week..

..WOULD ANYONE CARE TO HAZARD A GUESS AT THE VALUE FOR NR MINT IN COMPANY SLEEVE..
