Great , really enjoyed it and gave my venue a good plug. A bit strange at first bieng in a proper large BBC recording studio and seemed to do a lot of errs and you knows but that was a little bit of nerves to begin with but settled down as it went on and would love to and will do it again in the future.Another thing is how different you sound on the radio to how you think you sound in real life. You can listen to the show again here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/music/northernsoul/index.shtml

More chance of Uni-bond or whatever his name is turning up at The 44 Club to listen to you play some ska. Actually I've just had an idea

For anyone that might be in the least bit interested I will be doing a short guest spot and playing 3 records on the Mary Fox show on BBC Radio Stoke tomorrow night sometime between 7-8 pm. OK dont laugh , you have to start somewhere You can listen on your radio on 96.4 fm or 104.1 fm ad dab digital radio or live online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/england/radiostoke/ or https://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/music/northernsoul/index.shtml a short while after the show has finished and has been archived.

Had this 45 come today and just love the label design which is so naive.The car from the "gay 50s" and jet from the "futuristic 60s" are so cool.Any other suggestions for totally wacky and unusual label designs.

The strange snake charmer flute noise from the intro of I've got love for my baby by The Younghearts.

Just posted this up in the sound section. I think this falls in the R&B category.Fantastic stuff IMO.What do you think? lord.mp3

I'll have the A side half then because the B sides dire

If Simon does not want it I'll take it off your hands , because as you can hear from the audio I put up my 45s a bit crackly! PM me if you hear nothing off him.

Here you go.Bit of a strange one this!

The demo release has Whats so good to you on the flip and sound quality is superb.

And I've just answered you question in there

Can anyone name any of the tunes featured on tonight's episode. Heres one for starters. Touch me, kiss me , hold me, - The Inspirations.

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this programme before but a new series begins tonight on CH4 at 10 pm. Its a comedy drama set in a hospital revolving around 4 nurses and each situation ends in a small clip of a classic / nothern soul / motown record relating to this. I watched an old episode last week and really enjoyed it. Heres a sample list of the CD taken from the second series. Great stuff As Channel 4's hospital-based drama No Angels returns for a 2nd series, the soundtrack features classic Motown moments from the likes of Gladys Knight and The Pips, Barbara McNair, a classic duet from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, the queen of soul Aretha Franklin and Betty Wright among others, all of which perfectly complement the shows plot to good effect. Tracklisting 1. Shoorah! Shoorah! - Betty Wright 2. Take Me In Your Arms And Love Me - Gladys Knight & The Pips 3. Second That Emotion - Barbara Mcnair 4. Can I Get A Witness - Barbara Randolph 5. In The Basement - Etta James 6. Show Me - Patti Drew 7. Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Baby - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell 8. Can't Let You Go Sugar - Pie De Santo 9. Nothing But A Heartache - The Flirtations 10. Girls Are Out To Get You - Fascinations 11. End Of Our Love - Nancy Wilson 12. I Had A Talk With My Man - Mitty Collier 13. Good Time Tonight - The Soul Sisters 14. Everybody's Going To The Love Inn - Bob Brady & The Concordes 15. Clean Up Woman - Betty Wright 16. Have A Little Mercy - Ann Sexton 17. I Never Loved A Man - Aretha Franklin 18. Save Me - Nina Simone 19. Everything Is Gonna Be Alright - P.P. Arnold

I sold a slightly warped Decca issue on ebay recently for well over £200.00.I have to admit I nearly kept it as its a superb sound but I'm not so sure how it would go down at a soul venue. There is a fothcoming re -issue to be released shortly. https://cgi.ebay.com/MANNY-CORCHADO-POW-POW...1QQcmdZViewItem

I've got I dont want to talk about it by Nancy Ames on a South African tri centre.Cant think of the label but I know its orange coloured.

I think this may have been Brett Franklin, although I may be wrong , think he goes under the username Brett but thats as much as I can tell you because I have never met him and I have no idea what he looks like

It does'nt look like its been dealt with to me in fact its just got worse IMO.

I allways have a request when modern and disco is played.Can I request they stop playing it

Two members have been having a personal go at Pete Smith in the 44 club thread about music policy which does not reflect the clubs playlist at all plus they have never attended the event but if they want to give their opinions that is the wrong place. If you want to have a moan about what should and should not be played at soul nights and what does not really belong have a go here and keep it out of the event section and dont make it personal.

Two I've played out lately Kiss me now and dont kiss me later - Florence Devore - Phil Dan . I think the last time I heard this played was about 30 years ago at the local youth club but it still sounded great. And one I allways love playing Theresa Lindsey- Daddy 0 - Golden World. Sounds better today than ever.

Heres the top 500 list. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=12177
