Gold Band

I'm just trying to get my head around the Sonettes groove your after. Is it supposed to be on the KO label & is it the Shirelles? Just curious cause I've never seen it!

Thank you Agent Smith, I read the whole of your passage & I couldn't Agree more especially the following! RIGHT NOW,...it is up to Elaine Constantine,...she's stood up and is receiving countenance, bravely and rightly so, she is NOT shirking responsibility...before its too late, she wants a permanent visual edict that will tell it like it was and is as equally relevant to today's youth who are looking for an alternative, that's funny, serious, energetic and factually descriptive as near as damn it. Why do so many want to condemn something prior to viewing?

Like you Chris love all 2 mins of this track been on our wants list for a while but like yourself looking to pay the right price good luck but I hope ours is better.

Ken used to run a post on here called some 6t's for anyday that i used to add tracks too, record goes for £400 - £600 & it is quite rare heres a short cut to the post its near the bottom.

For those who want to make their own minds up MR Thorley has posted it here, complete with jumps & ticks & a slightly dodgy spelling of the Camaro's

Just got round to listening to it, Just a couple of alterations Alan - Bessie Jones & The Cheques Got to say not too bad overall first time listen to Jimmy Hall - "I'm Happy That Love Has Found You" great track can only find it on the Epic Touch You LP 1980 was it issued on 45?

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Done Pete Merry Xmas

I be Shakin' dem titties for you baby cause I'm lovin' the groove, one to add to the list!!!!

Just aquired Art Grayson & The Graysettes - Better Hush (Congress 233) 1965 the track is only 1:30 long & it got me thinking about the shortest tracks but guess what it's already been done unless anyone can think of anymore 3 years on?

Ooop's the Invitations was a mistake.... however, they had a little played version of the Belmonts track which I really liked on MGM. The list is really just from memory. Many of the tracks, particularly from the middle period of Wigan, may have only been played for a few weeks... and dropped from play-lists because of the bootlegs. The Nikki Blue track is a prime example. I still really like this and have dug it out recently and played it... it still sounds good to me and may do well as a re-activated oldie. I'm sure it is a lot rarer than the book price. Diane Newby's version of the Cooperettes / Chubby Checker track is still the one to have and another that could do well. There are also a few others that were dropped because large quantities of the track were found... E.J Chandler... a good a record as anything ever played at Station Road. Jimmy Smiley is another that turned up quickly... and was legitimately re-issued in the states on Camille... however, these turn up a lot less often than the Gait original. It's easy to look back now and target records such as Grand Piano Company and Harry Betts as pure pop, but are they any worse as some of the more treasured instrumentals? Don't forget the reaction from the crowd when things like this were played.. they almost blew the roof off. We were naive kids but we knew what we liked... 30 years on and much wiser, but do we have to crap on the records we liked then because they are out of favour now? The raw energy in tracks like Manifesto and the power and gusto of James Coit... unforgettable. Are these not soul records... I would argue they most definitely were and are well worth another spin. As is the Leon Thomas track... a superb 70's track that was unforgivably underplayed. Rambling now... so much to say and so little time... Tim I Am with you on this Tim there are some tracks on the list that are considered crap by some but I think they are more in tune with people than some think, Some of the tracks on your list have not been heard or seen out for many a year but on hearing them again will or would bring back a flood of memories for some even to the point of getting people up to dance as they did back then. I thought that’s what this thread was about remembering tracks long since forgotten. Wish I had a memory like yours but just reading some of the tracks you have listed has got me reaching for my past so thank you Tim.

Bloody Hell I didn't know Fernando Alonso (Photo 14) was into Northern Does this mean we all get a free trip to spain?

'NEV' To be truthfull ..i've never really taken to the idea of "pigeon holing" genres of music as regards to the "northern soul " scene. Myself ..i'm all ears and would'nt discount anything, as i've heard some tunes over the last 30+ yrs that have fitted in but aren't soulful by any definition . But for those of you who have put in your penneth regarding certain genre's ,i would appreciate these lot putting into boxes please... BARBARA REDD - I'LL BE ALL ALONE BARBARA DANE - I'M ON MY WAY JOHNNY DOLLAR -GIRL YOUR MAMMA TOLD YOU ..NO YOUTUBE NARVEL FELTS -GIRL COME BACK If I had To pigeon hole ‘em remembering that I’m a cross the board person, Barbara Redd - I'll Be All Alone (S.P.Q.R) Swing Barbara Dane - I'm On My Way (Trey) R & B Johnny Dollar - Girl Your Mamma Told You (McCormick) R N R the N standing for Northern Narvel Felts - Girl Come Back (Renay) 60,s doowop You asked Nev Don't shoot the messenger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been to lots of great venues & danced to lots of great sounds been lucky enough to hear lots of great DJ’s & I’ve been in the zone plenty of times singing along with the choons as I dance, but one magic moment for me was hearing the drifters - Pour Your Little Heart Out for the first time in 2006 it wasn’t that it was the best track I’ve ever heard or danced to it was just that it was more than 1500 miles away in Tenerife, I remember thinking this is brilliant hearing a new tune that was giving me a new feeling of soul pleasure all those miles from home it was amazing (Magic moments eh! its not all about being 16 again)

I'll follow Mr Vickers love the funky Hopkins Brothers - Shake Sheri (Magnetic) but if the set had a funky feel at a said event where people appreciated such music a floor filler would be The Devils feat. J. Watson Vance - Love & Understanding (Cuca).
