ANYWAY ENOUGH OF THIS WAFFLE - SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR THE TOP 20! 40 JIMMY CONWELL - CIGARETTE ASHES (MIRWOOD) 39 LITTLE RITCHIE - JUST ANOTHER HEARTACHE (SOUND STAGE 7) 38 MONIQUE - IF YOU LOVE ME (SHOW ME) (MAURCI) 37 PAUL ANKA - I CAN'T HELP LOVING YOU (RCA) 36 YVONNE BAKER - YOU DIDN'T SAY A WORD (PARKWAY) 35 ROSE BATTISTE - HIT AND RUN (REVILOT) 34 RICHARD TEMPLE - THAT BEATIN' RHYTHM (MIRWOOD) 33 THE CHARADES - THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS (MGM) 32 SAM WILLIAMS - LOVE SLIPPED THRU MY FINGERS (TOWER) 31 DEAN COURTNEY - I'LL ALWAYS NEED YOU (RCA) 30 THE DEL LARKS - JOB OPENING (QUEEN CITY) 29 THE GROUP FEAT.

I did post up some footage of the Hy-Tones from "Night Train", I think they did two solo numbers and backing vocals on several others. I think "Bigger and better" must be by a different group. "You don't even know my name" is surely by a bad white group.

Not a bad return for spending 4 grand on a cutter.

Absolutely. I'm quoted in there raving on about a record I don't like that much! But I could look at pictures of record labels all day.

I'm afraid it didn't make it this time. Though neither did darrell banks 'open the door to your heart', thats because I didn't actually have a copy to hand when I made the recording. If I had have done, it would have been top 10.

WELCOME TO PART 3 AND THANKS FOR ALL OF THE COMMENTS SO FAR - GLAD SOME OF YOU ARE ENJOYING THE CHOICES. I'VE HAD TO RUSH THIS LAST ONE AND SO DIDN'T GET TIME TO INSERT ANY JINGLES BUT I'LL TRY AND FIND SOME MORE FOR THE FINAL TWO EPISODES. ALSO, I DIDN'T REALISE I WAS RECORDING IN SUCH LOW QUALITY SO THIS ONE AND FUTURE ONES SHOULD BE AS GOOD A QUALITY AS PREVIOUS CASTS.

Ah I can find a couple more like that!

I've got one more batch recorded and ready to upload, but I couldn't put any jingles on it which is a shame, anyway I'll get that one up as soon as I can then do maybe one tomorrow and the final one on sunday, also I didn't realise I was recording them in such low sound quality so I'll improve that too.

Blimey, thank you! I appreciate that.

It's on a boot with, weirdly, baby Hit And Run on the other side - thats the second boot, it came out about 10 years ago on a red label with the isleys my love is your love

I thought his book was brilliant. The second one was a bit pointless but the first one is a great read.

Cheers, I'll put it up in a couple of hours, I included this great radio advert featuring Lee Dorsey singing an advert for Coca-Cola to the tune of his record "My old car", just makes it slightly more interesting..

How many ball bags have you got then?

Well I tried playing the cd on my record deck but couldn't get any sound out of it, so I decided vinyl might be better.

If it wasn't about opinions it would be a random selection of records in no order, wouldn't it? What a peculiar comment. It plainly says, it's MY favourites, therefore they are the best in MY OPINION. Don't take it so serious for fucks sake.

Every one a classic mate, no hat needed! p.s. I think there is one 70's record, if Mel britt is a 70's record..

THE TOP 100 NORTHERN SOUL OLDIES OF ALL TIME - AS CHOSEN BY ME. IT GETS LONELY SITTING HERE AT HOME GAZING OUT OF THE WINDOW SO TO KILL SOME TIME I DECIDED TO GET ALL MY OLD FAVOURITE RECORDS OUT AND SEE IF I COULD PUT THEM IN SOME ORDER OF FAVOURITISM. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TASK AS THERE ARE SO MANY ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT NORTHERN SOUL RECORDS TO CHOOSE FROM - BUT I'VE HAD A GO AND COME UP WITH A TOP 100. ANYWAY, I THOUGHT I COULD TURN THESE INTO A 4 OR 5 EPISODE SERIES OF PODCASTS AND IT MIGHT BE FUN FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN IN AND MAYBE GUESS WHAT'S COMING NEXT, WHAT'S IN THE TOP 10, AND HOW **** MY TASTE IN MUSIC IS. SO I DID IT, AND THE FIRST 20 TRACKS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO AS A PODCAST. REMEMBER, IT'S JUST A BIT OF FUN, THEY ARE JUST MY FAVVOURITE RECORDS, IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE SOME KIND OF OFFICIAL CHART! I ALSO ADDED A FEW 60'S RADIO JINGLES FOR NO REASON REALLY. PLEASE, ENJOY!

You can't touch an mp3. With vinyl, even a carver, you can design a label and play it on your record deck. It's a touchy-feely type thing. I have Dusty Wilson on a carver which I did for myself, it gives me just as much of a siver down the spine as it would if I'd be playing an original. But it's on my deck, which means it's better than a cd or an mp3. With the bootleggers in question, it's just a case of what strange titles they do and why people would buy a one sided blank instead of a two sided, labelled 70's pressing for half the price.
