    Always source of interest for me, I often try to pin down the records that would have formed the models for most black music of the 60's, you have to limit it to sone extent, 70's to follow perhaps. I used rhythm and blues in the most general terms, records aimed at or created by black Americans. Be they funk, soul, R&B, gospel ect. Anything goes here. I'll start with a few I'd suggest as crucial to the development of black music, although pretty obvious, there must be loads more to go at. Be great to have you top 5's, year would be nice too. Wilson pickett- midnight hour - stax studios 1965 Fontella bass- rescue me- chess 1965 Bobby parker - watch your step- V tone Washington 1961 Friends of distinction - grazing in the grass- RCA 1969 Temptation - I know I'm loosing you - Motown 1966

    Great track despite it.

    Listen at 20 seconds or so to this editing! Someone who wasn't great at splicing tapes.

    There's a track by fats Domino, that uses a very similar backing track, could almost sound like the vocal, just wondering if that's what your missus heard covered up? Was it the instrumental she heard?
  5. Geeselad
    Great that, very danceable.
  6. Geeselad
    It's by baby earl and the Trinidad's if it's the instrumental you missus heard. Few on discogs starting around £300 not sure it's been pressed

    Well just over a week big event for this mighty little town

    Obviously I can't check the CU's but some great soul music there, and perfect for Sunday afternoons, however hope I never heard any at an all-nighter, they'd just kill any energy in the room for me. I love some 70's and 80's sounds but the tempo and production that's reflected in some DJs taste is a real turn off, where's the cajones?

    See if I can make this one, well done on making it to you first anniversary guys.

    I think your searching for a definition that's impossible for anyone to define. If it's not 60's and post 1970 northern then someone will define it as modern, somewhere, it's a looser term than the nuts in Dave envision's record trolly.

    Last call for tomorrow. Some people are really passionate about this tits night, we do just three a year. Come listen and dance from 9pm.

    It's alright, not as good as the original, to cite and northern soul cliche. However it's id probably sooner here it than black box, Lisa Stanfield, soulutions, Dina carol or a host of other, 'dance-light' productions that are staples at northern soul nights across the country.

    Here's something I'll be giving a spin on Saturday at some point,

    And finally Dean Read; Dean was one of our first choices when we set up the night, playing at our first event almost 12 months ago. Dean's played just about everywhere on the upfront circuit over the years as well as being involved in the sadly missed go go children all-nighter in Bristol. Expect quality rhythm, soul and funk from a guy who always has something decidily original to play.

    Just remembered I saw him do this live at trentham all-nighter.
  16. Geeselad
    Quality! Those off kilter stabs work so well, his voice that ominous rumble of bass. Yes! More like it.
  17. Geeselad
    I'm not sure yet, going to play this more, before I decide if I like it. I was buying stuff similar to this 10 years ago as new releases, I do like the production and there definitely soul in there.

    Steve Cato; Steve's nights in Manchester ' nothing but soul' and 'different strokes' for me and many others introduced a new world of music people and possibilities. Since then he's gone on to be heavily involved in the much loved Manchester international soul weekender. He's a one off, and sadly don't play out enough anymore, but you can here him in a certain dark basement this weekend.

    Gaye kidson Gaye has been a mainstay of the west midlands rare soul scene for many years and played nationally as a guest at many events. Also a resident at the most wonderful dark horses nighter in Tamworth she has been a trailblazer showing the girls can do what the guys do, but better!

    Nige brown- Nige is a Northern DJ of some repute, a Stalwart of some of the biggest allnighters of the past 20 years, nige has plenty of big hitters at his disposal but as an avid collector I'm sure he'll provide something different and fresh.

    A little information on our guest DJs; Rob Powner- (aka twangy) Rob has always been I DJ I look up to, literally! Lanky git. It's fair to say Rob has garnered a massive reputation over the last 20 years as one of the finest mod dj's not only in the UK but also in Europe. DJing extensively at a rare of weekender event on the continent and in the UK, including promoting his own events, wang dang doodle and his most excellent Sunday sermon. Your going to hear some top class tunes your ears have never been near.

    It was the delays track indeed that got me looking at the label, thanks for that. So a vanity label of sorts?
  23. Geeselad

    Just over a week away from our first anniversary event. Expect a mixture of underplayed northern, R and B, funky soul, garage and who knows.... The whole point of the event is to bring folk together, hence the name, Gathering. Different people djs and scenes together under one roof. Many come to hear something genuinely different and we encourage djs to play the what they want. The dancefloor and atmosphere determine what goes down. That doesn't mean you won't hear classics or great northern. Come and see for the sen's!

    It was the Phillies not the flyers ( ice hockey) Here's a clip https://youtu.be/pjMFdNN2ZEs?si=GdSOekz6O6sPzIWH

    Thanks for the contribution so far, seems quite obscure for a label that put out so many releases, that's what peaked my interest. Lots are garage, but a lot don't have clips on discogs and many seems rare, any ideas why?
