Can anyone help pse, as i cannot find the thread which Gareth refers to. Many thanks Russ

Cheers Gareth, now i just have to find the thread . Russ

Just checked the discography for Twilght/Twinight & has only got the one release number, maybe the demo is different to the issue mix, can you elaborate on the 3 labels pse & which mix is which ????. JM's only mentions the 156 release number. Thank you Cheers Russ

No Steve, have this niggly feeling somebody mentioned to me there were two release numbers & they were different mixes.........i could of course have imagined the whole thing !!! Russ

Occasionally have read or heard reference to Circle Dancing or some such phrase, for instance 'Was invited in to so n so's circle to dance', can anyone give an explanation of this please, as i'm intrigued. Best Russ

Wondered if any of you clever people can shed any light on this please...........not sure if this is someting i have just made up or not , but seem to recall a conversation that mentioned there were two different mixes of Main Queeze - Nate Evans, pretty sure that it was said there are two different releases which are slightly different in the mix ???...........wondered if anyone could confirm this & if possible post the different mixes please. Best Russ

Thanks Benji & Ady...........brilliant info many thanks & look forward to the new Eastbound/Westbound dancers CD. Best Russ

Just found this on the net, doesnt look promising from the AB point of view. Russ

Thanks for the input Cliff & Dave, wow can anyone confirm that the HO were AB & D ???........TSUT too ???. Any idea of value on this gem. Best Russ

Houston Outlaws - Its no fun being alone - Westbound - I think this slab of Detroit Soul is just bloody fantastic & doesnt get much better. Any idea if this is a hard number, i have only ever seen WD are there issues ?, also any idea of value. I have played it out on & off for awhile, generally get good reactions. What do you think, has it got what it takes to be a Crossover Classic ? I also assume that Westbound/Eastbound labels had a lot of ex Motown/other detroit label moovers n groover on the payroll, particularly after Motown moved to LA. Does anyone have any information or a link to an internet site etc. Thanks Russ

Late 8ts maybe.........Kenny ???? Russ

I have a hazy memory of copies of this being sold on the balcony at WC on a european label in PS, I'm sure i bought one at the time............have i dreamt this up, anyone else remember or have one, were these reissues or just european release ???????????. Best Russ

........... Russ

Yep totally agree, i'll pull the trigger, cant afford the real thing dont feckin' DJ...simples !!!. Russ

Think this would depend on how good the record was...........wouldnt be the first time I've followed thru whilst enjoying myself........... lol. Russ

Thanks James....let me know buddy. Best Russ

Well if anyone can help i would like one please, will send dosh immediately.........Ian/James...........anyone ???? Russ

Amen ! Russ

I genuinely still like Spring Rain - Sylveti............this would take the roof of venues in the 7ts & i have fond memories of dancing to this back then. https://sylveti - Spring Rain -

Served Queen & country, was the favorite son Husband & father the best i can Older now, the guilts still there.... Soul is calling, dont care where Double life, the weekend looms Dark halls & basements, the system booms Lost in a world where soul is King Thank fcuk its Friday.lets do our thing Dodgy deals, sounds & pills The rythmn calls, the body thrills That driving beat, the moving feet Heart pounding, to the sound track of my other life.......so sweet Clenched fists, raised high Ask my heart.........see grown men cry The new dawn looms, reality so soon Thats what Mama said, back to a loving home, but still no bed. Monday morning, a black hole...... A secret smile, god bless our SOUL. Swish has moved me to words....... Russ

Twas one of the things young Tommy & Mike used to play out at Hitsville in the USA & else whwere a few years back........great tune. Russ

Now that has got to be one of the posts of the year my friend...........i can now die happy knowing that some one else really does get it...........OMG you have really put it in a nutshell & very well put too. Russ

Yes it is an oldie, but as this was the example given was the obvious choice to use, as most appear to know of or at least be aware of it, mind you when we're listening to & discovering records from decades ago, a few years hardly seems to matter. Russ

BTW your last played clip the Risings Sons - is classed as 'Funk'.........to me its full on driving NS of the highest quality & one of the records i personally love to hear out at Nighters. I reckon Joi Cardwell would follow Risings Sons quite well in a set, use the intro match the BPM & slide into it nicely...................... Russ
