    Surprised nobody's responded, any guesses?

    Searched but can see it's been posted before, anyone know who the uncredited singer on Sadie, Sadie, is? Sounds a lot like Marvin Smith, to these ears. Any ideas? I'm curious because he's just too good to never have cut anything else.
  3. Geeselad
    He's mint live, shame there's no Manchester date, sad loss gorilla bar.
  4. Geeselad
    Sure I've seen one on those

    Let's hope someone brings a box like the one I went through at swinton.

    Conna wait to get behind the decks at FTMNTC, couple of exclusives to play, including that Toni Galla track, plus loads of new acquisitions. Determined to not cheat this time by playing stuff they know, it's a tall order as always such a knowledgeable crowd who come to hear something different.
  7. Geeselad
    Good see you back on here Tony. Careful, it's a slippery slope you'll be buying records next!

    Hopefully we can announce a special guest from abroad, in the very near future. Boxing night really did feel the start of something great in north staffs. About time!

    It's a great uptempo funky little dancer, imho, Gary associations aside. didn't we have a thread on a Dooley's tracks a while back too.
  10. Geeselad
    Fair point, it's just me confusing the two.

    Seems like people were keen to tie in Wigan to Saturday night fever. Wasn't there a common false rumor that Travolta went to station road to learn how to dance? When in actual fact it was Arthur mullard.

    More than just another old singer, and icon by my estimation. Sad loss.

    Maybe not mainstream northern but worthy of Inclusion anyway. Love the big maybelle

    Back after a very very busy boxing night event. Northern soul Classics and quality Motown the order of the day. Great dancefloor, talc welcome. Great atmosphere. Residents geese and jez assisted by feg Hayes finest Kev (the loveman) John, and I believe a special guest, TBC.

    One of the intrinsic problems with the upfront scene has been quite a rigid timescale, although they play 60's and 70's anything that strays past the formula and into modern is instantly, 'disco crap!' Many of the crowd involved come from scooter background and are hooked on a retro ethic in terms of where the sound can go. We'll unless it's a European DJ then it suddenly seemed ok.

    It's all getting a little cynical, there are still plenty sticking there heads above the parapet each month, barely breaking even or taking a hit financially on the night, for the cause. The upfront scene which has been now going for 12/15 years has lost some key venues, go go, nags, soulfunktion and are surely missed. But the appetite is still there, I'm certain it will gain momentum. Getting into soul in '87, I remember plenty of low attendances, cold empty dancefloors and seeing the same hardcore everywhere. Seemed like a lot of event back then we're all-night card schools with some tunes on in the background.

    Good call on Congleton, FTMNTC. Allnighter wise I was really impressed with the selection at Swinton. Just great quality all nighter sounds, djs competting to keep an eager floor dancing. Tbh I lot I'd heard before, but not heard played out at nighters in a while and certainly not to a more mainstream nighter crowd. The return of Burnley was great too.
  20. Geeselad
    I'm just saying, it's quite a big catalogue, with some odd variations especially the Jamaican, might be worth exploring discogs to see if there's plain demo's.
  21. Geeselad
    Some of the Jamaican issues on calla look iffy but are authentic. Wonky lettering ect, think they did some green and red ones?
  22. Geeselad
    Thinking this might be the night there was a photoshoot in the back alley, with a great black and white photo of butch, Minshull and Guy. It came out a magazine, short lived, think it was called soul underground? Incidentally I can remember seeing a copy for sale at the 100 club not long after, for £100, think Mick Smith had it.
  23. Geeselad
    Remember Gino being spun at the 100 club, 87/88, not sure by who.
