  1. I dropped a bollock with this too a few years ago. Found it in a box at Tony's Emporium in Blackburn about 15 years ago, I'd never heard of a white Laurie demo of ANYTHING? It was marked at 30 squidleys or summat. Made a few enquiries that night of some other collectors and nobody had heard of it. Took a chance and got it for 25 having sold my coloured demo to a mate there and then for 30 to cover it. It's a boot I reckon for sure, it's plain when you hear the sound reproduction. Plus the R in the deadwax is a bit of a giveaway. I thought it might be a reissue that slipped by me but I couldn't verify anything. Even now when I show it people they end up scratching their heads. Be great to find out the who, why and wherefores of this particular 45. Over to you....anyone?
  2. Kenny Burrell, Ginger too. They're around, just doesn't come up very often.
  3. Wasn't it that fine spinner of 45s Rob Marriot who championed IGTBF? Heard it played at Hitsville by Pete Fowler, couldn't resist the draw to the dancefloor. Great record.
  4. Skip Cunningham Have We Met Before 20th Century Fox Bev Moore Mojacar, Spain
  5. Al Supersonic and The Teenagers - Where Is My Girl b/w Mess Around - Rock On Great young Spanish group that played the Valencia Allnighter weekend a few weeks ago and hopefully will be on stage at the Molotov at The Hamburg King and Queens Weekender in April. Record has been played at every Spanish gig I've been to, including the Hitsville Weekender and gone down a storm. Here's their My Space page TEENAGERS
  6. Stands out like Bulldog's blx.
  7. Lester and Leslie were twins. They were a dance couple that were professionals and ended up on the Robin Seymour Show. I think they ended up in LA in the 70s where Lester was murdered by a mugger about 80?. Didn't "BackBeat" do a bit on his story about 81/82? (Steve G?). I'm pretty sure their story is on www.soulfuldetroit.com somewhere.
  8. Do you write copy for the South Bank Show perchance?
  9. Tim's not got the best of recollecton about this Groovesville/Connoiseur stuff. I'm pretty sure there must be test presses of them all, it's just finding them. I'm missing The Professionals (Alt Take) LV Johnson - Recipe Joey Kingfish - I Wont Hurt You Anymore If anyone can help out. Plus...does anyone know if the Buddy Smith is alternative version?
  10. As Dave has just posted that SKM will not be continuing I thought I'd take this opportunity to congratulate him on such a massive achievement with both the fanzine and the website. I'm sure I'm not alone, when looking for that piece of info that's missing from my notes when I dive straight to either SKM or DFTMC (Richie and Keith big kudos too!). So...well done Matey, congratulations on a job well done and I doubt that's the last we'll hear or see of your scribblings. (In fact I'm about to email you a list of subject matter and deadlines! ). Anyone got any favourite chapters of the SKM epistle? I like the one about The Scene and MILK!!
  11. You've every right to be excited Matey. I still get excited as I flip open someone's sales box, or walk into a new venue for the first time, or first meet that certain 75 year old black guy/girl that I've hero worshipped from afar for 30 years. What it's all about. You know I wish you well with your gig, it's your gig, it's your direction and it's down to you to achieve what you want to achieve. If you and your lady, or a couple of Mates fancy a European gig, count me in. The Valencia Weekender would be a good one to aim for next March. Dani and Albert put on a stylish gig (with help from people who make you lot look old!), our place is just down the road and the Tehnics are permanently set up so......bring a few 45s too, I'll critique yer playlist!
  12. Maybe not that particular artist, but you get the point surely? BTW, I have attended gigs where B and T HAVE been played under the "Beat" banner. And it was at a gig advertised as 60s soul, beat, psyche, reggae and freakbeat! Way off topic now or I'd expand on this. Might start a seperate thread in fact.
  13. Evening Paul, That's the whole point. It's your night, your scene, it's how you enjoy your music and fair play to you. But your current dismissive attitude of anything outside your thinking as 'old hat' displays the very same attitude that you claim is a turn off for younger soul fans as far as the Northern Soul scene is concerned. For many of us, the thought of sitting on our arses bored out of our heads listening to Brian Poole and The Tremeloes et al whilst waiting for a decent soul 45 to hit the Technics is a complete non starter. (I've done it so I know what I'm talking about! ). I wouldn't dream of criticising anyone that feels that that's a worthwhile night out. Strokes for folks all the way etc. But I'm a rare soul fan...bust! If you can't cater to my tastes, that's OK. It's not a problem, so why do you feel it's OK to criticise people like me for not embracing the way you think the soul scene should develop? Oh, and when we meet up again you can explain to me what you meant by 'You lot'. Does that include anyone that doesn't go to Beat Boutique? If you think that the die hard northern attitude doesn't really apply amongst the younger soul fans, then you need to get up to speed on both the US scene and the European scene. They embrace all the good things about rare soul and it's traditions, whilst avoiding any of the crappy politics that regularly gets in the way of folks OF ALL AGES actually having a good time together. It sounds like it's maybe you 'young uns' who might need to broaden your horizons and look a little further afield than your own gig. I've two spare bedrooms if you're up for it. Lucerne in January, Valencia in March, Hamburg in April, Bamberg in May, Hitsville in September, take your pick. Warm beds but cold beer await.
  14. Jeez! Out of interest. How much did it go for?
  15. Beeks Old Chum, "If we keep having to explain it you ain't never gonna understand it" Why do we have to understand your experience but you seem resistant to understand ours?
  16. Ok I'm gonna push the boat out a little now and claim: This Is My Last Goodbye Joe Walker Bold Dave Moore Mojacar, Spain
  17. Looks like there's only us playing. Seeing as we're on a roll.... Searching For Love Spencer MidTown Dave Moore Mojacar, Spain
  18. Good tip, but Tommy Navarro has NEVER played perfect!! Never will!
  19. Hi Drew, Simply go to freerecorder.com and download the free recorder. Record the song from the link on this thread. Hey Presto you have your own MP3 of it to do with what you will.
