Driving home from Birmingham a couple of weeks ago, @ about 11:30 pm, Radio 1 was playing some ska / rocksteady stuff, sounded great in the car, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Decker........did you hear it pete?

Next question....... Which side do you prefer ? I prefer " Girl your my kind of wonderful"

Just been told that extra wood has been ordered for the coal fire, cause tomorrow gonna be a cold day......

Great memories of that venue, did my apprenticeship there, Gary Rushbrooke, John Poole, Soul Sam, Clive Jones ( what ever happened to him). I used to take a tape recorder along with me, still got some old tapes even today, great tunes, then the long walk to the railway station for the train home to Derby, I remember buying Toni basil ..Breakaway £25, Jimmy McFarland..Lonely lover..£8 !, Kelly St.Claire...Hear that beat..£20, Joannie Summers..Don't Pity me..£10. Wish I still had them.

Amazing stuff, I resisted buying them for along while, which I now consider to be a slightly foolish decision, so many quality tracks. Think I will be actively picking them up from now on. Recent release......Dottie Pearson...Bring it over baby....#152 is one of the best tracks I've heard for ages
-
I had 2, Don Ray ....Born a loser, & Yvonne vernee..just like you did me ( slightly fast ). Good quality sound. Seem to remember some guy from Leicester who used to advertise in " Black Echo's" that he could put most big sounds on EMI, Not sure of his name, think the quality of them was a bit "Shakey".

Far prefer the Detroit spinners version on Atlantic, much more soulful IMO........

R.I.P Ray, Thanks for all the great tunes, You'll never be forgotten...........

I have always loathed Tony Clark " Wrong Man ", all of a sudden it's grown on me strange isn't it.
-
What a great track, one of my fav's too............Good track for blasting out in the car on the way to venues Was Tony any relation to Frances...... I'll get me coat
-
Ella's " I Can't afford to lose him " SS7.......is also V.Good.....
-
Yes there are quiet a few, But I agree, Baby "justine"Washington is the best... Other versions off the top of my head are..... Sonji Clay on Songee Monticello's.......Forgot the label Aretha Franklin.....Columbia Great Version Think there are a few more, can't think right now.........
-
Here's a few more...........Soulful " NORTHERN SOUL " J.J Barnes.....Please let me in Darrell Banks....Open the door too your heart Herb Ward ( again ) ...Honest to goodness
-
I understand where you are coming from Billy, For me though Roy Hamilton could sing "teddy bears picnic" and make it soulful...........He's was the man
-
AWESOME record.........
-
Let's try and think of some soulful group tracks..... Most tracks by the Volumes are very soulful, Falcons, Magnetics, Fabulous Peps etc...
-
some good soulful tunes coming out here, very refreshing.......
-
Actually think I might play that at Greatstone on the 19th, I havn't played that out for a while, It could do with a spin......
