Jock O'Connor used to always play Harry Starr 'Step into my world' at Shotts all niters Have got the Earls inc and Carol Jones ..... not sure about all niter material ... good all the same. Carole Jones being a big tape fav from Ady Harley around 15 years ago ... probably more! God ... now i feel really old!

I think she meant the other picture Ian dear

Been playing this loads lately Mark ..... paid £32.50 exactly off Ebay. Gaz Simon has been pushing this for years up in the North East ... they know a good record up there when they hear it! Great tune

Spot on Chalky ....

Without doubt "I'M GONNA MAKE IT" .......b side to How. Imagine this live ....

I once asked a wise old soul called Pete Lawson what he thought made a soul record a GREAT soul record ... and he replied that a great soul record is one that sounds as good the LAST time you heard it ... as it did the FIRST time you heard it ..... no matter HOW MANY times you've heard it ..... Yes i'll admit to dancing to one wonderful moment when i first started on the scene only because i didn't have anything to compare it to because it was all new to me ... they were all great. After a while though you realise that they're not all great. You soon realise that it's records like Eddie Parker that are great ..... and that the likes of One Wonderful Moment are not ...

Absolutely ...... EVERY record is a NEW record the FIRST time you hear it .....

Mil Evans always brings a smile to my already smiling face .... a great tune me thinks

Never noticed that till i read your post .....

Half hour spots work really well at Soul or Nothing .... keeps things ... dare i say it ... progressing along nicely sorry couldn't resist that one! I really like it .... seems to give the night an energy .... and sits well with both the DJs and the dancers. ... at Soul or Nothing anyway

Has he heard this version by 4 Tops & Supremes on the Dynamite Lp? Thousand times better imo. In fact the last 3 tracks on side two are great

I think that's great .... can just imagine someone sat there with the book checking to see who's 'naff' and who's not! May even be someone out there who would know from memory .... now how sad would that be! Brilliant stuff

I thought this was what it meant ... i have the book. So it's one man's opinion on what he thinks the Top 500 records should be? And that's ok? I'm sorry but they're definitely not my Top 500 ....

Can i ask again ..... What are the 'Top 500' you keep going on about ..... and who decided they were?

I'm sorry Neil old boy .... it's the blonde in me ..... you lost me somewhere around the word 'agree' ....

The top 500? What are they ... and who decided that they were....?

The term 'progressive' as regards the soul scene to me means that the scene is moving forward ... playing different sounds, new to some ... known to others, as opposed to standing still ... in the same old rut of the same old records. That to me is just like going to the cinema every week .... and watching the same film ... every single week. EVERY record was a NEW record the FIRST time you heard it .... every single one.

..... nothing makes me think of Led Zepplin or Frank Zappa i'm afraid .... apart from you ... now

Agree with you .... it's really quite good ..... don't understand your bit about Paul though .... but then again i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer at the best of times ...

Hi Russ, Survived another one then i see ... great to see you as always! ... and yes you are quite right .... just proper one's to me too ..... the mental bit is me

Yes ..... I think you are having a bit of a lucid moment Jock ... in fact Carl Fortnum played it Saturday night ... absolutely fantastic

Can't you tell that i've just figured out how to do this ...... here's another ...

Another one full of mayhem ..... Vanguards - Thought of Losing Your Love - Lamp. This blokes voice just blows you over .... check the drummer out ....
