  1. Each one has a micro chip inside and if I find people have been unethical in their dealings I send Kenny round!
  2. I used to play it at the 100 Club blues and jazz nights a few years ago (though it's neither). I wouldn't be surprised if Rudy Clark's version was the demo George Harrison (a big early soul fan who rated Dave Godin's work) heard.
  3. It was a 4 track 12" promo only 90 copies and I'm pretty sure the Ace CD is deleted now.
  4. Going for a song under the seller's name horacesrecords Finishing this evening plus a few other interesting ones, a couple of ska and a UK Bobbyu Wells no one seems to want.
  5. I'm sorry I don't speak that sort of Eeengleeesh!
  6. Felicitations to all my imaginary friends out there. Keep those Xmas bids up Ian so I can afford some shoes for Thursday and Kirsty I'll have a rummage in my bran tub for you darling. X
  7. All sorts of odds and sods like a Fuller Bros demo, Pretenders rare version of 'I Call It Love', Earl Grant 'Bamboo' on UK Brunswick and a Passions doo wop mint rarety on Top Rank finishing today. All sorts of stuff under horacesrecords Cheers Ady
  8. Seconded, thirded etc and most importantly, he has impeccable soul morals which have kept this the best site bar none.

  10. Following on from the success of the Crossfire events and with the continued popularity of Northern Soul nighters in the Smoke, 6TS and NewUntouchables are delirious to announce a new London all nighter at The Rocket on Holloway Road on Saturday January 28th 2006 10pm-6am. It's not in the cavernous upstairs gaff but the more intimate downstairs suite of rooms. Northern Soul will be in the main room with the biggish dancefloor, bar and sofas, R&B will be in the second room the long bar to the side and the psycho stuff is around the back of the main bar. more from ady c and view new flyer via read more.... I'm running the Northern set up which will kick off with Butch, Mick H, Val Palmer, Ady Lupton, Matt Bolton and me (or should that be I?). It will be held twice a year in the opposite quarter years to the two Crossfires, the next one will be July 22nd while the Crossfires are April 29th and 7th October. DJs will be different each time and with this and the other events there'll be more opportunities for Northern Soul DJs in London. The R&B room will be 90% R&B and Popcorn much more so than at the Crossfire dos where all mod black music gets played. That is reflected in the DJ line up, which is Pete Coulson, Roger Banks, Niamh Lynch, Jodie Daley and Rob Bailey. God knows what they play in the psych room but it looks like fun! Entrance is a tenner on the door, no advance tickets or memberships needed but if you have any soul club membership card bring it along in case the bouncers aren't sure about you. If you're not sure about yourself you may need to refer to it anyway. Any queries post on here or E-mail me at ady.croasdell@btinternet.com site note - the rocket is just one of many venues featured in the new soul source venue guide a static reference which provides , dynamic maps, zoom in sateliite views, directions to and from and more on all major worldwide soul venues!
  11. Is this Incredibles I've put on E-Bay a bit rare, it's not distributed by Bell so it's prbably the first press. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=4800062197
  12. I've got Johnny Howard demo, Joyce Bond, Marie Knight on Okeh, Pete Warner on Polydor and the original pressing of 'The Night' among others ending soonish. I'm horacesrecords I don't know how you do a URL or whatever it is!
  13. I know I should know this but This was an unreleased Betty Wilson Dayco track that came out on an Eddie Daye CD a few years ago. Did it get any plays at the time? It's fab!
  14. It would be, the amount you get through!
  15. A quality label, for sale by the pound.
  16. 100 Club will be the same as normal. To be honest i wouldn't want it any more boozy it's just about right for a niter. Now the Xmas party is another thing entirely!
  17. Thanks to both of you, that's a good start. I could do with a scan of the Barbees if there are any serious Motown/Detroit collectors out there.
  18. It's time you went to bed Ken. I've got someone working on your Stompa!
  19. Anyone got anything on this label. I'd love to know writer, producer credits. There's meant to be a Herman Griffin that came out on Anna in 1960 and a Barbees single that featured Norma from the Velvelettes. I could do with scans of either or any other releases. Ta Ady
  20. Can anyone loan Ace/Kent records their 'You Make Me Feel So Good' on Enjoy 2014, mintish copy for a dub. Several CDs for payment. Contact off line if you can. Cheers Ady
  21. I've got a Paul Thompson 'Special Kind Of Woman' chugging along quite nicely on E-Bay # 4789737679. And a rare UK Ska Beat single 'Bugaloo' by the Soul Brothers 4789876048. Along with a few other tasty pieces. PT finishes just before 11am. SB about 7pm. Crap photos but the records are mint.
  22. I'm pretty sure he's black or at least Jewish, I was just expostulating that Girl Across The Street was a bit of a pop record that has got accepted as a soul classic because the singer is black. Same geezer on Cotillion, I can't help with the rest. Nobody got any other examples or are all sixties black records that we play on the Northern scene soulful?
  23. If people want to confer reverence on a venue, it's up to them. Wigan never set out to be the oracle of the soul movement, they were trying to run a good dance that people enjoyed and came back to. If they said it was the heart of soul later when they were established, that was a marketing ploy which most people in the know would be wise to. If others are more gullible and believe what they are told by businessmen who are after their buck, that's their naievity. I wasn't particularly a Wigan fan but put it all in context and it was a place where the majority of the music was brilliant and it was up to the audience to reject the crappier ones.
  24. Great song, but I've never heard Paul Robeson's version.
  25. I don't think he sounds white I think he sings in a classic style that could be either. Like a top opera singer, I'd guess you can't tell their colour by hearing their voice as they aim for the same general standards. Paul Robeson is one of my favourites (I've got a 78 of him singing "Niggers all work on the Mississippi" that got re-recoded), but he could pass as white on some songs and he was the least white appeasing singer of his generation.
