Ok Karen I probably worded it wrong , what i should of said was I'll give it another try and will be really pleased if I get a few up dancing to it but I wont worry too much if it no one does. Ill just put it down to experience and move on from there. By the way how are your screens showing the threads at the moment. I have the opening starting part of the discussion (Petes playlist) then the last 2 additions from this morning and everthing underneath is in a long line in very small print. It is the same on every thread I click on and has been since last night.

And so it should. Great record. I'll still play it next time , couldnt give a shit if it clears the floor or not.
-
Because he has'nt noticed they have gone missing yet

have 2 threads been merged into one here now

A topless female DJ?
-
Not really , its a pretty bland midtempo effort in my opinion. But if you really fancy a spot in November PM me and your most welcome.
-
How about if you come and do a guest spot down here then Ted and show us what proper Northern soul is?
-
Your right Pete , I then played some tried and tested classics and filled the dancefloor again with the next few then got cocky , played something a little less known again and everyone sat down on there arses again. There are some fantastic lesser known obscurities out there but they dont nessecerily get a good dancefloor reaction.
-
Not only that Pete I also started 2 records off with the wrong B sides. It takes a right twat to do that.
-
Great stuff Pete.Dave played some wonderful stuff as well. I think the last record you played in your second set was Monique to a full dancefloor and as I said in a previous post I tried to follow it with Love by Gladys and cleared the dancefloor completely but thats inexpeience for you.I'll still play it next time though.
-
Its obviouslly been played out off one of those so called custom acetates you can have made.

3 I've got that are not strictly latin but have very strong influences. A spanish boy - The Rubies- Vee Jay. I better run - Barret Strong - Tollie. Its a sad thing - Ray Pollard - UA. Tommy Navarro - I cried my life away - Du Jac.
-
Yes Mark, a work of art , the sort of thing that would not of got plays years ago but nowadays is so perfect
-
Not played too much lately in terms of vinyl but gave these 5 a loud airing on my deck tonight starting off with 3 beautiful downtempo sounds and then moved it up a gear. 1. Young emotions - Nick Ashford - Verve. Superb flip to When I feel the need. 2. Giving up on love - Ade Aleong - Vee Jay. 3. Tell me what to do- Connie Questrel - Decca. 4. Lets get together - Bongi & Judi - Buddah. 5. The reason why - The Dolls - Loma

I put The shape of things to come by Vivian Reed up in the sounds section somwhere. Fantastic tune. I got a ex Epic promo copy off Ebay recently for about $5.00 but not sure if this is the going rate.
-
Very sad news indeed , the man made some superb sounds. I went to see him live at Fleetwood a few years ago but he did'nt seem to be in the best of health then. He was very overweight and seemed to struggle a little with his act due to this.

Love Love Love by Bobby Hebb???????????

Ski-ing in the snow by wigans Ovation is the Holy Grail
-
Yes it is a totally shit record. I know someone who is into the heavy rock music shite and everytime I see him he constantly sings Footsee to me and drives me bozonkers. I tell him to f*** off and he says "Well its Northern Soul ay it" I have to admit I have a copy of the US Roulette Chosen Few vocal version.
-
Somebody new was one of the rarer Us 45s quite a few years ago with a £1500 price tag at one point if I remember correctly but boatloads have been unearthed the last few years and is an easy 45 to pick up now. I bought my mint copy off Ebay last year for $60.00.
-
Played this one last night at home. Great record
-
Three great 45s that will cost peanuts.Forget some of the rubbish big money stuff , these will give you loads more listening pleasure. 1. Dont leave leave me - Al Green - Hot line. 2. Love - Gladys - O-Gee. 3. Harlem - Bill Withers - Sussex.
-
Personally I think the playing of LPs at an event is farcical and worse than playing a bootleg 45.Its just not right.
-
I understand the playing of US original 45s thing but what I cant work out is the playing of UK released 45s. What about the TMG series , should none of these be played, take Martha Reeves No one there which was never given a US release. And what about the UK Kent singles , dont a few DJs play these.And what about Action , original Soul city , Sue etc??? Another thing is when some top Djs are playing super rare unissued motown 45s , take Crying time what are they playing them off?
-
I think Contempo also released the JJ Barnes Sweet Sherry track on an V/A compilation LP called Dance Dance Dance. Did'nt Edwin Starr also use the same backing track for a brilliant unissued track called Has it happened to you yet? Whatever the case Sweet Sherry is a superb track , so if I played this out on the Contempo label would I be approached by the chin strokers and soul patrol and banished from the scene forever as I would for playing any other UK Contempo 45????Where do you draw the line???
