Pete S

The first Motown release in the UK is on a 78. Unfortunately I've forgotten what it is. Didn't come out on a 45 though. Think Barrett Strong "Money" might also be on a 78 as well as a 45.

Make an offer of 75 pence.

Good spot Dave, two in weeks from the same seller, looks like that's another record to cross off the rarest of the rare list.

I know most of think it comes from the heart and you just eventually move along to the music but there was a time when you - yes, you - had never danced before in public and that was a big step to make, I remember I practiced for months in front of a mirror before I first danced, fortunately I turned out to be pretty good at it and I got confident very quickly. Nerdy kids at our school even danced to things like "Get Out" and "Under My Thumb", it really got them out of their shells. Then you've got some who really want to do it but are just petrified, and no amount of people saying 'just do what you feel' will give them the confidence. So in that sense, I don't have any complaints about people being taught how to dance. yes, it all looks a bit awkward but so what, nobody's been hurt and maybe a few people will have gained the confidence to dance in public after these lessons when they wouldn't have before. p.s. If I can find my dancing lesson post I'll post it up because it's quite funny. The time I tought someone to dance..see below In 1995 when I lived in St leonards On Sea, I got this phone call from this guy in London who said he'd been given my name by a mutual friend and that I might be able to show him a few basic Northern Soul dance moves, so obviously I said you've got to be f*cking joking to which he said "I'll Pay You", so as I was unemployed I reluctantly agreed to take his money and I'd show him the basic Northern Soul dances. So he drives down from London one night midweek and despite my embarassment, I spent half an hour teaching him how to shuffle from side to side and by the end of the session he'd just about got it. All this was interspersed with my downstairs neighbour Nancy keep ringing me and saying "You Dancing?" to which I have to reply "You Asking".... anyway we finished the 'lesson' and I said you mentioned payment, and he says oh yes of course, thanks ever so much, I've really enjoyed it, I'll just go and get the money, so I watched him from the landing go down the stairs, out of the door, into his car and off down the street at about 60 miles an hour, leaving me hot, sweaty, embarrassed and ripped off - if he's on here, you owe me £20 you b*stard.

Absolutely. I had this experience with Bari Track back in the 80's. I never liked it much in the 70's but never heard it at a nighter as far as I know, then I heard it at an allnighter in the early 80's and it just blew me away, sounded like a different record. Now it's been a favourite since that moment and it's always in my top 5.

I just never heard it since my Nan and Grandad died, they were the only people who ever called me Peter. Anyway, swiftly moving on...I was really being serious when I said it was very much like 'Work Song' by the way, I'm sure it was actually intended to.

I don't doubt that. Why do you keep calling me Peter?

It's derivative, unoriginal and poorly performed and produced, apart from that, it's great. If this is representative of the biggest sounds of the past 10 years, then I'd say NS won't last another 10.

Oh no! KFT indeed.

Didn't know he'd done it - just the other 2 dozen who had.

Sounds like Work Song.

Long time since I've been gobsmacked but I just had no idea there was another version of this.

I know, 38 years later I have shrunk

No it's me silly

Does anyone have the link to the real page?

Did you know that those spiders with hair on them are mammals, and thus produce delicious (and unusually cold) milk. Spiders produce milk using the same glands that they produce silk threads with.

I have my baggies ready and have also put on a 1976 wig so that I will fit in.

Tell him you haven't got the right kind of trousers, yours aren't baggy enough

Check the date today mate, it's all ok

Please folks, read Mike and Cunnie's comments, it's just one track to choose otherwise it's impossible to make a definitive list.

Yes and you'll be able to use the wanker smiley on Facebook as well now. It'll soon be worn out.

Wrong

You lot go, I'll stay here and keep an eye on the old site

Not sure why anyone hasn't actually voted for Frank Wilson, I've heard it as many times as This Old Heart Of Mine but they are both still stunning. My vote is for Carolyn Crawford - Forget About Me.

It's a shame so few people on Soul Source know about them, sometimes the podcasts only get 20 views, I suppose this is because they have audio and video filtered out? On the occasions I've put them in the main forum, they get loads more hits.
