nice, but not really dancable, so not northern? Do you know a record by Herb & His Croanies on Personality?

He's DJing at a niter in Leicester next week, check out the events section on here.

I’ve just decided I want to be a DJ on the Northern scene. As anyone got any tips on how to start out, aside starting my own do? What would you say are the quintessential DJ ingredients for a new kid on the block? Great collection, or a couple of dozen mega rare 45’s. 60’s, 70’s or both? Do you have to earn your stripes or kiss the right backsides?

How great is this comp, even tells any newbie what Northen Soul is! https://cgi.ebay.com/GREAT-RARE-CD-MILLION-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Am right in thinking there is just a plain instrumental version? Yes, and if you hadn't heard the vocal, and said it was unreleased Funk Brother or something, you'd be raving about it.

Phonetics on Trudel?

I alway thought it sounded a bit like Little Eva of Locomotion fame!

Chalky will know, it's was covered up a J Robinson at one time?

£412

Do Do De Dop by the Devotions. I wonder how many times that's been picked out and put back in the box because of the naff title, but what a tune!

John Manship has one @ £100, but it's only in vg condition. Then again I've never seen one in decent condition

Love Plays Some Funny Games, on Claire

Anybody seen the film?

It's their first L.P. in 1964/5 "Four Tops", but be careful if you are looking for it on vinyl as it was re-issued by Motown in the late eighties (looks the same, but the cardboard of the cover is much thinner) There also a nice version of 'Don't turn away' covered by Tony Diamond on Blue Rock, a subsidary of Mercury*. Baby I need your loving Without the one you love (life's not worthwhile) Where did you go Ask the lonely Your love is amazing Sad souvenirs Don't turn away Tea house in China Town Left with a broken heart Love has gone Call on me Jimmy Hart - Tea House In China Town on Mercury * is a cover. Tea House was also done by Tommy Knight, as well as his cover of the Four Top's ''don't bring back memories'', but were never released (?)

Isn't one of the acetates of TTTWSS attributed to the Topics? I think they're the same cut though.

Isn't Rag to Riches by the Blue Notes of Bernie Williams backing on Fucused O You / It's Needless To Say, but not Harold Melvin fame?

Lisa Miller - Loneliest Christmas Tree - Cabturbury and also her U/R Motown effort as Little Lisa - Choo Choo Train

Barbara McNair had here own TV show and appeared in other TV shows and a couple films "They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" and "The Organization".

Press for the Belgian market?

Shrine records were called Shrine by Eddie Singleton as a tribute to President Kennedy and the emblem is the Eternal Flame on Kennedy’s shrine. Shrine’s publishing company was Ramitary and was formed by Eddie and his wife Raynoma; Eddie was born Eddie Singletary Raynoma or ‘Miss Ray’ learnt her record producing skills at Motown being Berry Gordy’s second wife. Berry Gordy wanted to have a record label called Tammy named after a favourite film (star) of his, but as the name was copyrighted he plumped for Tamla instead Pictures: Eddie Singletary Berry & Raynoma Gordy Very common Shrine release
