Heres another one with Ginger

Sammy campbell.. i never thought....been after it for ages.Thinl ive made my job even harder now....doh.Lead singer with Del Larks.

Ive a boxfull of tapes most are unsorted...there are a few with prices next to them...ie sales tapes.I darent look at them.Tape swapping was massive wirh a thirst for new sounds.I never see anyone with 50 count record boxes mooching around now.There was only one lad at Stoke i saw last year...but a box of boots.Is it me or was everyone into records then...ie collecting selling trading.I suppose if you were there then you had made an effort as it was still underground and word of mouth...no films ....no Vogue catwalks.....no press.Got a few videos as well Bankhall Miners and Burnley...re Greg Fay it was him living above the pub.Hes doung alrihht working for Ridley Scott.Him and Danny were at the Dome alldayer early last year...i told him.Eamsy had a Chandlers and i ended up brokering a deal....once a record man always a record man.

I remember me and my girlfriend getting a lift from Greg Fays place by Danny Huff and Roly.He was living above a pub and his place was full of old trousers he had imported from the USA.Danny was selling mobile phones at the time he was ahead of the game there as i didnt get one until 94.....the new thing to have and he had an impressive company car....tis a pity he couldnt control it as at one point the dual carriageway went into a single lane and Danny was that busy jabbering with his neck turned to me in the back that he didnt notice the coach ...lights flashing coming towards us.It was a great weekend though.I have always been a tempo terrorist and i do like Colins set....but just not the stuff i would get off on dancefloor wise.Butchs set is great...ive had a few copies of the Mike Jemison and been after the Sammy Campbell for a while.Tony Troutman was played everywhere at the time esp at Modern Soul gigs.I should have taped Clarkies set but i was in the radio room at that point with him.It was different then as it was just flyers and buying Echoes....for one page! I used to rip those pages out and still have a pile of them...

Here's one i taped in 84.....Chris Kings brought Eddie Holman and he played live at Tiffanies in Newcastle.........cue me taping this on the amstrad and racing up to Newcastle.....funny comments from Dave Brown re the loss of soul music late Wigan.........northern soul was dead in the eighties...........mmmmmmmm i don't think so.Dug it out after deejaying with Chris on boxing day in Middlesbrough.

Its a bit mixed up.....this should be part 2

Just to clarify Im offering to do similar radio shows that you have on tape to cd/youtube...not offering to cd the show........thanks

Currently doing an Eddie Holman interview he did for radio Tees in 84 with ChrIs King...I taped it then had to rush out to get the bus to Newcastle.

Found another tape from this weekender.Anybody know who the scottish deejay is....not keen on his sounds.Butch has a slight dig at the deejays going back to the fifties.Anyone who as tapes of radio stuff on tape and wantsto see them on youtube and have copies on cd just pm me and i will transfer them for you.

Heres another one i taped from the radio at Yarmouth 1991........features Butch playing Mike Jemison, Sammy Campbell,Purpl Mundi etc.....along with a few othe deejays

Want an original copy of this....will take vg plus up to mint.Pm me.

Its Danny Peach ...he is on facebook.They put on a lot of oldies events and play a mixture of cds and vinyl.

Ive a few to upload including interviews with Marvin Smith, Yvonne Baker, Edwin Starr etc...plus a few more Richard Searling ones.I had one with snooker player Steve Davis being interviewed somewhere...he played mostly modern stuff.Theres also a radio Tees one ive had for donkeys years which i taped when Chris King brought Eddie Holman over....i saw him play at Tiffanies in Newcastle.

Just uploaded this to my youtube channel......does anyone know what the free record was that was given away?

I like a lot of these records listed.....but some of them should have never hit northern soul decks.Nick Nack being one...in a cellar club with a load of mods yep.Anyway heres mine. Dolly Gilmore...Dont You Know....i know the other side got a spin once at the Mecca but whose idea was it to turn this one over.Its like Cleo Laine on an acid trip on the Love Boat with a sax solo from 7one of the muppets. Doug Banks I Just Kept on Dancing....whose idea was it to introduce cha cha cha to the scene..there was a swathe of these type of records.Probably would fit at a cha cha cha or popcorn night but a room full of riker likers?? The dreaded Tribute.....massive with the handbaggers...whose idea?

Who else covered the Snake apart from Al...Oscars is the original i think.I have a version by Harvey Fuqua from the sixties.Kevin King Lear covered it in the sixties for Page One on in the UK which got a reissue on Route in the mid seventies which must have been to try and cash in on northern demand.I wonder of Kevins version got any plays.

Nema was a b side....an out there psych track with loads of hammond a bit like I am An Angel off the lp.There were a few bands from that era who were dabbling in soul.The best were Harlem Jonns Reshuffle from Oldham..covering That Driving Beat,Everything Under The Sun,Looking For A Fox...im sure they did Open The Door on their lp as well

Snake....overplayed record by boring deejays....if you have just come back then it probably sounds great.SOUlJIHAD...theres a year in front of me and the AF250 will be getting pulled out....i cant face another year of ska coverbands...modspaulwellers tribute bands...and join the dots northern from.bootlegs.Isle Of Wight was the last straw and a lot of us are thinking of goung to brighton aug bank holiday and taking over a pub...where are the mystical rally places you speak of ?

Well Butch gets about....hes playing house in Cologne

I used to get tapes of his show sent down to me from an ex Twisted Wheel deejay.....here#s one of them i transferred to my youtube channel.Ive some old Emperor Rosko stuff from pirate radio as well on which Im going to get around to uploading......check out Tim Browns prices!!

Brian Bennett Chase Side Shoot Up....big at the Torch apparently......you know it as the Golf theme...Jack Wardle from the Boro was selling them covered up.People are still listing records people like....Interplay...The Snake etc people like these records.

Dolly Gilmore is bloody awful...........a lot of records on this thread are actually liked...the snake etc etc ..........how about The Statue Tommy Sands.....The Lurch-Ted Cassidy

So someone has re activated the old Ootp bootleg label then..wonder if theres a sequential number on it.There was a big dancefloor reaction to it.Its funny how a record can suddenly be big all over the country.I was deejaying after Ginger at The Dome and he spun WWGT..Rca Demo Uk.Is it Ginger who reactivated or have a few jocks been pushing it.

I played out Cant Help Loving You on Boxing day.....rammed dancefloor.A dj before me played a red Ootp boot of When We Get There...is the red Ootp a seventies boot or a recent boot.Heard Bob Sinclair twice at rwo different venues....massive with the handbaggers.

On a yuletide tip Lisa Millers loneliest Christmas Tree...booted as well l.Was this one of Soussans attempts to press a record before it had a chance to be big...nobody can have liked this.The Carmels I Cant Shake This Feeling....got this in a soulpack in the eighties so im assuming it was played out somewhere.Ive heard a few abominations played out this year...Nick Nack Paddy Wack,Oh Ma Liddi and Dolly Gilmore Dont You Know.
