So did I to be honest, never needed anything, still to this day don't know why I eventually did indulge - peer pressure I suppose

I'm going to be attempting something pretty ambitious, I will be counting down the Top 300 Northern Soul Oldies Of All Time. All selections chosen by a panel of experts. Well one actually. Me. But it'll be good! I'll do them in segments of 75 at a time over a week. This is going to be a lot of fun and you'll hear some great records. The only qualification was that I had to have the records on 7" vinyl, whether original, reissue, carver, whatever, as long as it plays on a deck. Otherwise I could have used MP3's and I would think 100 new choices would be in. Anyway look, you may not like my choices but it'll still be enjoyable to listen to - and it's not all 60's either...sound quality might be a bit dodgy in parts due to the vinyl and my set up. If you can't see a track list I will post one in comments ok. 300 DON VARNER – TEARSTAINED FACE (QUINVY) 299 JOAN BAKER – EVERYBODY’S TALKING (DIAMOND) 298 LIBERTY – GIRL YOU BETTER WAKE UP (BASF) 297 THE TEMPESTS – SOME DAY (SMASH) 296 EDDIE REGAN – PLAYIN’ HIDE AND SEEK (ABC) 295 RAIN – OUT OF MY MIND (BELL) 294 BARBARA McNAIR – YOU’RE GONNA LOVE MY BABY (MOTOWN) 293 RICHARD (POPCORN) WYLIE – ROSEMARY, WHAT HAPPENED (KAREN) 292 LARRY HALE – ONCE (DIAMOND) 291 LINDA ELLIOT – FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU BABY (JOSIE) 290 LYDIA MARCELLE – IT’S NOT LIKE YOU (MANHATTAN) 289 THE PRESENT – MANY’S THE SLIP TWIXT THE CUP AND THE LIP (PHILIPS) 288 EARL WRIGHT & HIS ORCHESTRA – THUMB A RIDE (CAPITOL) 287 LITTLE JOE COOK – I’M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU BABY (JJ) 286 BUD HARPER – WHEREVER YOU WERE (PEACOCK) 285 TOTAL ECLIPSE aka THE GOLDEN WORLD STRINGS – SUPERTIME (STEPHANYE) 284 DANA VALERY – YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOUR INTEREST LIES (COLUMBIA) 283 SANDI SHELDON – YOU’RE GONNA MAKE ME LOVE YOU (OKEH) 282 PATRICE HOLLOWAY – STOLEN HOURS (CAPITOL) 281 R.P.M.

and me second..

Believe it or not, there are more or just as many drugs around now than there were in the 70's but the ridiculous sight of old and middle aged men off their heads on coke is quite disturbing really. It's all coke and ecstacy. I don't even go to nighters anymore but I know this and last time I did go I was offered it, I declined. And as for the dancers today - absolutely not a patch on the dancers of old - the fact they've had to bring back the ridiculous acrobatics to get attention speaks volumes.

Is this a 'post the worst record' competition?

WHERE THE ACTION IS This is really in the "Northern Soul 50 - Pete Smith Special" series but there were more than 50 tracks so I called it something else. This one's another boster (translation: it's very good) and I've even tried to keep it in a fairly chronological order so we start with a classic 60's Mod sound and then work our way through The Wheel, Torch, Cats, Wigan, Stafford and beyond...what a DJ spot this would make...and how about that Italian language ender from Paul Anka?

Lester Tipton on Grapevine is worth £50 tops, especially as it's been counterfeited. It's never been worth more than £70 tops. I'm not a Clown.
