tabby thomas your'e all i got ? forgot label and i am not going upstairs to look. remembered label hip city mark

well we will find out in january as we will have soul sam as guest at the greatstone. i personally do not think it makes a great difference for the smaller clubs but for the larger nights i would imagine they are needed mark

the one that is for me northern soul The Coasters crazy baby Atco mark

isnt there another version by the guy who wrote it mark

i had heard that carl willingham has a dolly parton record that when he plays it it is played at 33 instead of 45. allegedly mark

hi jason i would think it can get lonely just being a collector but the beauty of being a collector and into northern modern or any other style in england is that we have the clubs to meet like minded people, and chat to them about records and soul minutae and therefore not bore our partners, but we all have lives outside the scene. my wife and i travel quite a bit and our mutual close firends are not into soul so we spend a lot of time with them, but the only downside to a partner who does not like the same music is you have to keep it to yourself when you do find that bargain, because they do not have a clue and are not interested, like you say they just say something like why waste your money it just sits there in a box just buy it on cd like you say you have to bend and enjoy life. hopr you do come to cleethorpes next year we will have to have a chat have not been to baltimore nearest i have been is annapolis and washington we did a tour around washington and virginia and drove through maryland a couple of years ago. will be in florida next year going to key west for 19 days and then to vegas four 4 days. been to america about 8 times in last 6 years and only been in 3 record shops, mark

very nice sets this i why i rate chris as one of the top dj's around he can play in any room. mark

i have been told by my wife that i am obsessed with records but i hardly drink, never smoked do not do drugs, love northern and crossover and 70's only go out a couple of times a month, never played away, what more do women want, oh forgot i am handsome and debonair as well. as far as i am concerned the soul scene is just like having a hobby. looks like i am a boring record obsessed old fart mark

sorry forgot to put it on

you could also attend the greatstone on 18th december as a northerner i have an excuse for not attending sitc, but i was watching the great manchester united beat arsenal, not shouting now are you alison. mark

does anybody know anything about this record bachelor brad and the black ensemble birds of a feather kris was on anglo this year descibed as awsome crossover £500.00. mark

8pm- 9am Flirtations- Stronger than her love (festival) Syl Johnson- Do you know what love is (Special Agent) Lee Bates - Why don't you write (Instant) Larry Santos- You got me where you want me (Evolution) Jimmy Bee - If it wasn't for love (20th Century) Deadbeats - No second chance (Strata) Athens Rogues - She could love me (Stop) Johnny Robinson - Gone but not forgotten (Okeh) Duke and Leonard - Just do the best you can (Stomp Town) Margie Hendrix- One room paradise (Mercury) Sandpipers- Lonely too long (Giant) The Stingers _ I refuse to be lonely (Stax) Karmello Brooks- Tell me baby (Milestone) Roosevelt matthews - You got me digging you (King) Bob and Fred- I'll be on my way (Big Mack) to me all of these are well known and i am one of the ones who dissapeared for 12 years i am also one of the ones who goes to most soul nights to hear something new of have not heard for a long time this was why i started in the first place. it seems to be a case to me of always read the instructions first as the flyers seldom lie if it says rare 60's 70's and northern then that is what you will get. as someone who runs a small night that is a rare underplayed 60's and 70's and some 80's night if someone does not enjoy it i would rather they told you than rant about it to the world without giving the promoter a chance to put his point of view. and yes i do also attend oldies nights but my favourite nights are still the rare nights be it northern or crossover or rare 70's Marquee Review- what good tomorrow (Pacific Revue) this is an awesome record especially because i have a copy, have been playing it for about a year. in case you are wondering i run the greatstone hotel stretford manchester with my friend tony and we average about 70 through the door. long live rare soul. mark

Usually I'd go for Thelma , but on Saturday night somebody played Junior's version nice and loud - talk about smokin' sax! Pity he could never sing, mind... Jerry. isnt there another really nice track on the uk or european release that is not on the us release of the album. prefer juniors version remember thelmas from the mecca. mark

could this be gone now by fran jeffries on monument? mark

we seem to have come to a dead stop with the reviews and still 2 cds missing. mark

i think chris churm also has this if it this then he has had it a long time and played it to carl if my memory serves me right. mark

pete try les at king bee in chorlton manchester as he deals in reggae as well. mark address is wilbraham rd chorlton-cum-hardy.

Various soul nights ( all day events during the 70's ) link

having frequented rods shop in aflecks, he said that if he was asked gino would repress things for them so some of the things were probably not pressed till a later day so that is why the numbers may be all over the place. mark

my favourite inst is earl wright thumb a ride and the debate was what instrumental makes you proud to be into northern not what inst is soulful, cos there was an awful lot of non soulful vacals played on the scene. and i still think california montage is the best ending record ever and brings back loads of memories, not soulful but is really catchy like raindrops love and sunshine just a nice poppy tune. mark

some more reveiws jason jazzy phil parry love the insistent start then it drops back to a nice tempo. roger freeman real oddball one sort of mocking-bird type beat. jimmy williams very teddy randazzo prodution on this paul havekin kylo turner really good big voice new york/jamaican soul. cosmo have been after this since paul first played it to me j b bingham this is the version dan collins harry and the keyavas love this i should reqally play it more often kenny sheppard superb! maurice jackson love this so laid back and classy nick g buddy connor class love this want one bonnie brisker love this got one percy and them a brilliant double sider think paul regrets swapping this to me craig westwood freddie paris has he ever done anything bad springfield rifle perfect and always gets a good dancefloor reaction dena barnes brilliant is this other side of if you ever walked if so this must be one of the best double siders around jocks bobby reed not heard this before nice piano led tune creation thought this would have gone massive a couple of years ago george jackson what a voice big beat ballad at its best soul source johnny moore this is brilliant will have to find one of these ben-e-king i am a bit of a sucker for the latiny drifters style songs worlds funkiest band a slightly smoother versionthink buddy shaves it though thats your lot as i have not got mark bicknells or the aussie ones yet. mark

still vividly remember hearing the anderson brothers on one of the legendary thursday night's at the blue rooms(sale mecca) only the priveleged few knew it ,the following week not an inch of room to be had on the dancefloor great memories Mick attended the blue rooms virtually every week was a good testing ground for ian and colin there was many a first spin here prior to blackpool on sat night. do we know each other ? mark baildon
