I've a few of hers...big full productions.Not really dancers though...more listening.I is great...got the acetate myself.I Dig you baby is good.She does an okay version of I'm Gonna Run Away From You...Small Town isn't bad and she performs this in the film Dateline Diamonds...all of these should be on YouTube.I'm more into her auburn hair and dungaree phase.
Sorry over 36,000.00 views....
and this one over 29,000.00
now if they all went to venues and demanded underplayed there could be a northern soul revolution.............anyway i really need to think about doing part 3.
I wil leave you with this one
I've put a few hour and a half mixes of underplayed stuff on my YouTube channel and one has about 25,000 hits so there must be people interested in underplayed stuff.I've been busy buying this sort of stuff for years whilst people have been buying the next reggae soul 45 s...the next popcorn biggie....the next r and b biggie.....can we keep this thread quiet.....
My pm 21 st April 1220 ...did I beat you Pete? .apparently it has been booted with a solid center...seller sent me a link to e bay.I wouldn't sell a record unless I had it in my hands and owned it.First problem.I have ever had on this forum and I'm a regular buyer.
I wonder if these bootleggers would dabble in Roulette stuff ....I'm sure that labels owners used to dabble in concrete loafers.There's one south east bootlegger that has moved onto late 50 s stuff avoiding copyright laws apparently...he will meet his eldarado.
A certain dj told me he sent off his white Tower demo of By Yourself to the states to be pressed....sometime later the boxes came back with a few thousand copies......but what they didn't do was to send the original back seperately .....oh dear!!
I thought Rocks Off was in Camden.Had loads of stuff out of there served by a woman wearing leopard print.Wasn't it Ted Carrolls shop? Had stuff out of Hanway St..Andy Neills shop.Ive a great article on Cheapo Cheapo in an old Blues and Soul with a picture of the stall...I had a boxfull of Tommy Hunt live at Wigan los out of the Cheapo shop and a few copies of the Loot soundtrack for a few quid each.
Yep he definately did at least one in there....i remember dancing to the right of the stage near the corner.Must have moved into the jazz room later on...I'm talking Southport.There was some grumpiness from the jazz dancers i was with when it moved into the jazz room as they wanted to hear Snowboy or Sylvester all night.Bacardi bar must have been later as my mate Simon Mansell tells me about deejaying in there.There was another scene in London called The Boogie scene...black geezers in leather trousers and all that.....Lloyd and the Boogie boys etc.
To Nick Harrison...yep the dealers were in the foyer oppsite the entrance doors.Jazz room to the left of that and soul room further up to the left.I'm not talking people walking round with records.I'm talking chatting to people who I would swap tapes with...just got in contact with one of them terry Seline from Driffield.Used to swap seventies slow records for northern.Richard definately did a northern set in the soul room.
I used to go to Southport for the Jazz room and used to pop my head into the Soul Room.The place was packed...there was a certain type eighties smart dress associated with it as well.I never liked the music although i remember once Dionne Warwicks Move Me No Mountain came on which wasnt bad.It was great for buying northern in there though as loads of people were getting rid of sixties stuff.Traded loads of seventies and eighties soul pack stuff in there for sixties.From memory the DJs were Jonathan.Yogi Haughton.Colin Curtis.Searling and Jonathan Woodcliffe.The music was the same tempo all night and I could only stomach 45 mins of it before leaving.I would be back there last knockings when Richard did a northern revival set.
