Right on with this mate. It's a strange "soul" scene that wants to push brilliant 70s tracks into separate rooms and search backwards to the 50s for more sounds to play to the extent that a lot of what is played that has little or nothing to do with soul, or even Northern come to that.

Did anyone else spot Rob on Eastenders playing a supplier in Albert Square's Mini Mart?

Searched on Craig Moerer's site........out of stock. Not listed on JMs but the LP was, though out of stock. I have the LP (some nice tracks, couple of crossover types, nice slow ones) but would like the 45 too. Current prices anyone?

Sorry! My mistake! Not Taff but Steve G!!! Monday mornings......DOH!

You sure on that Taff? I've been told by several people categorically that it's LP only. By the way, was absolutely gobsmacked to hear this in the Old Orleans restaurant on Cardiff Bay a few weeks ago...........nearly choked on my Jambalaya!

Watching the Leicester 2nd Anniversary vid Neil, how about you also reviving your natty line in headbands???????????????

But does it make you cum Dave?

Yes they did become Tavares. Sorry, I haven't got a copy either for sale or, very sadly, for my own amusement..........a truly wonderful, classy soul record which epitomises everything good about the music.......sorry. I've just cum.

£80 seems a bit on the low side Billy. Picked up a demo about 18 months ago for £100. Have seen it as much as £150 (though that is a bit pricey). Walter Jackson - class tune. Not as funky as Suddenly which I've always has potential for mass appeal.

Some Day, Some Way - The Traits on Contact. Beautiful floating dancer.

The Smells - Stinkin' About You

Bobby Womack - Homelessness is Where the Fart Is

I was having dinner at Old Orleans in the UCI complex on Cardiff Bay 3 weeks ago and Rufus Lumley came on. The week after that I was in the same restaurant and Mel & Tim "Forever and a Day" came on......even more bizarre.

Seconded.

Thanks for all the input folks. Nice to stumble across tunes like this and nice to know it has been recognised.

Interesting. I was around a lot of venues 2/3 year ago but didn't register this one myself.

Thanks for that Godz. The other side is a bit more "Northern" I guess. Would still be interested if anyone has heard the crossover side out and about.

Picked up locally, not from a soul dealer, a 45 on UK Mercury dated 1970 by Newby & Johnson - "I Want To Give You My Everything". Very nice crossover floater very similar in style, tempo, strings etc to George Jackson - "I Don't Have The Time To Love You", coincidentally on the same label (though not UK of course). Male and female duet by the sounds of the vocals. Really is a nice tune. Anybody able to help with any info at all on this item? Anyone heard it out anywhere?

Dear Bedraggled

Not a bad mover yourself Winston.....but could you pass for an 18 to 20 year old?????(LOL)

You're not asking for much mate!!!! Keb still cuts the dancefloor mustard (very very well!!) but you'd need to give him a wig and some Spencers........oh yeah and a substantial appearance fee no doubt!! Chris "Trickster" Harvey could do a passable 70s impersonation but he'd need to shed the Mark Lamarr 50s Cockney binman, Brylcreem quiff and James Dean jeans. There's other cracking dancers like the tall bloke from up North who's always at Stoke doing very fast spins. Also, Sammy from Wolverhampton (I think). Other than that, the Japanese kids are good dancers but might give a very authentic Wigan look to the film project!!! Good luck!!

I was watching the 2nd Anniversary video only last week. Neil O looks soooo cute in it!!

No. Sounds like fun though.
