Thank you very much Seb....& Roburt Best Russ

Played as a new release at Bradford amongst other places, agreed top tune, I dug it out again about 5 years ago & have given it an odd play since to great dance floor reactions. Thanks for reminding me of the other label Nick. I only mentioned the Wes Black release, as a way of indentifying the label as such, its the Star West Discography that Im after please, if anyone can help. Many thanks Russ

Hi Can anyone please supply a Discography for West Star records outta Hollywood Ca. This is the label with the Wes Black - I Feel Good release. As a slight aside, can anyone also remind me of the other label Wes Black came out on please. Best Russ

'kin tune...n good luck with that...would love to know whether Chris's copy is one of the 'known' copies ?. Russ

sorted out now thank you. Best Russ

Me too Russ

But at least Arthur Miles is soulful IMO i could be reasonably with AM in comparison.....

No f*cker can dance any more, talk about dance like ya Dad...regardless whether you like it or not, surely they could at least dance to it proper, could shuffle to this 'Northern Style' surely....talk about embarrassing. Russ

Specials - I Cant Find Another - Satch Good Clean copy needed, pse PM price & condition, money waiting for right copy, no messing about, you'll have dosh immediatly deal agreed...pse no silly prices or offers, Im easy to deal with so fire away soulsters. Best Russ

I would like to pay as little as possible.... Russ

Right now... United Sounds Ishola Muhammed Singing Tornadoes Parliaments (Cabell x 2) Tommy & the Derbys (Kool) Yes, would play em cos they're to be enjoyed... Russ

Just thought I would resurrect this thread from a few years ago, to see if anyone can confirm definitly who recorded the version Cliff plays at Burnley ???. Much appreciated Many thanks Russ

It was all good, hind sight is a wonderful thing, some cherry pick their periods of time at WC cos some periods now are considered more worthy than others, I went from '77 until mid '81 ish, didnt go every weekend, some months once, some months every Saturday, only ever did 2 Friday oldies nights.....for me I thought it was all bloody brilliant...hind sight tells me some of the records were pop, but TBH as a 15 year old I didnt really have a clue about soul music, it was all about dancing & feeling part of an underground scene, my musical education came later, on the whole & mostly after WC had closed its doors....some people think we're impressed when they say, WC was crap between so n so n so n so, what they really mean is other factors stopped them attending & they feel they need some sort of excuse to explain away the lost years.... in some circles certain folk try to impress other folk with thier 'soulful credentials', most of which they have read on here anyway & didnt experience personally....so, to conclude WC was just another soul venue playing the records of the time, one thing I will say tho, is I would much rather attend an Allnighter than a soul night & the Mecca was a soul night, it broke tunes for the Nighters to play.... Best Russ

Its because most didnt/dont realise there were two presses Pete... Russ

Pretty much the same for me....I did find a couple of copies of harder Duke stuff, but it was seriously hard work...but Im sure theyll be stuff there, just a case of doin ya home work, diggin deep n an element of luck...how about startin with the UNI Radio station...? Best Russ

Thats brilliant Lorraine, thank you for posting.... Russ

Please give my best to Gary mate... Russ

I heard there was a connection, but assumed it was one of those NS myths, something along the lines of a family connection... Russ

Apologies Carl, thought you were at it...lol & BTW agree.... Russ

Oh dear, why do some just have to try n stir things up, do you not get enough attention at home...if you havnt got an intelligent, positive reply, then why bother ?. Russ

If its a 'hot' record for ya, play it twice in the set, once at the beginning, once at the end, that way makes people more familiar with the sound & breaks quicker, if its an oldie, once in a night is more than enough..... Best Russ
