Many thanks for clearing that up Ted, presumably the other one is indeed one of Adys different versions:thumbsup: Cheers Steve

Hmmm, I suspected he actually said 'worse' on both after hearing the 2nd version, but for some reason I always thought the original version sounded like 'bad', would explain why people would say they have only heard the 'worse; version Cheers

Hey folks Having never had the pleasure of owning an original of this track I have always wondered which mix was the original and discussion about it usually leads to even more confusion as most people say they only know one version. The first one I remember was the one where he says "Please Don't Let It Get Bad" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdQCcQUgndI The other is a much different mix and he says "Please Don't Let It Get Worse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeE-2yCdRZg Apologies for using youtube, coudln't find these on refo Cheers Steve

Being a bit of a Casino fan, I created a spreadsheet to list all my 'live' tapes and made some 'best of DJ CDs from the tapes I had using the tunes most played by that particular DJ from 77-81 Here's a few Records that appeared to be played solely or mainly by him (Please no oh that was also played by X at Venue Y coments, its just meant to be representative:-) 21st Creation - Tailgate Danny Wagner - I lost A True Love Dee Dee Barnes - Do What You Wanna Do Dutch Robinson - Can't Get Along Without You Helen Shapiro - Stop LJ Johnson - You Keep My Temperature Rising Marty Lewis - I Can't Do Without You Mary Wilson - You're The Light That Guides My Way Master Four - Love From The Far East Patti Labelle - Loving Rules Peggy Scott - You Got It All Pete Warner - I Just Want To Spend My Life Posse - Evil Renee Pryor - BOradway Sergio Mendes - Love Music Four J's - Love My Love Bees - Where Do I Go Camotions - Motown Checkmates - Kissin Her and Crying For You The Intros - Stop, Look and Listen The Moments - Hey Boy Pallbearers - Music With Soul Rainbow People - Living In A Dream World Teen Turbans - Need To Be Loved Tommy Bush - I Don't Like It Toni Lamar - Just In The Nick Of Time Turley Richards - I Feel Alright DIanne Ducanne - Better Late Than Never Seeds - Pushing To Hard Roger K - Give Me The Love Lockettes - Boy Next Door Allan Reuss - Zorba Bobs Band - Lockes Theme Paul Peek - Moving Uptown Ruth Lewis - That Special Way Outsiders - Why Don't They Leave Us ALone / Backwards Upside Some good and bad tunes in there but compared to Dickies record over the same period a lot less tracks and a lot less quality:-) Cheers Steve

Hey Mike First guy to organise coaches in our area that I can remember was Besty (Mike Best) from Wareham who stopped in 78 and in 79 when the old guard seemed to move on I started the 12 Man mini buses from Poole station and found it harder and harder to fill them as more people lost interest until we ended up with Car and Train Trips in 1981. Some of the folks from the later days apart from yourself where Pete Kitching, Dave Jackson, Karen Warne, Gary Samways, Smiler, Louisa, Harry, Andy Cole, Speedie, Andy Robinson, Gary Horsfall, Martin Adams and Herbie. Cheers Steve

Yeah he seemed a nice guy, I got a load of stuff off him 4/5 years ago, he had that Website where you typed in a name in his search engine went and made tea and it had just about finished searching by the time you were back. He had some excellent stuff especially 70s Soul although as you say he didn't like selling his last copy. Just checked my database and the best bargain I got was Ernest Baker 'Alone Again' out of there for 20 dollars , but also Choice of Color, Innersection, and multiples of lots of major label biggies like Mandrill, Bobby Womack, Bill Harris, Bettye Swann etc... happy days Cheers Steve

Many thanks for this Gary! Just the Webs then anyone please Cheers Steve

Hello again, I know they are not the most common tunes out there, but someone must have them If you can't do MP3 then a tape/cd will be great, I am happy to send one in return Any help much appreciated Thanks Steve

Hey folks Can any kind Soul send me an MP3 of Specials - You'll Need Me Webs - Can't Let You Go Seem to have lost a lot of my old taped stuff and these two are among them Hope you can help Steve

Yep, Mike Cook, formerly of Poole/Bournemouth who does spots in the SWest and has been Cookie (due to his surname) since I have known him and thats as far back as the late 70s I very much doubt he is aware of the clash of names and cetainly wouldn't be doing it on purpose You can contact him through https://www.southwestsoulclub.co.uk/ Cheers Steve

Fun topic! Shortly after getting the Soul bug in the mid 70s I was stood waiting for a mate getting some fishing bait from a shop on the Quay in Poole Harbour. As I stood there I noticed a box of 45s so to fill the time I took a look and pulled out a Jason Knight on Uk Pye which was known but a great tune at the time. I then noticed it was 10 for 10 pence or something similar so grabbed a handful, paid and left. When I got home I had the Visitors on Dakar, Legends on Commwealth Utd and 2 copies of the Differences on Mon'ca. Now this was never a Northern tune back then, but owing to my lack of records I promptly added one to my collection and put the other in a Sales box. My mates all said it was rubbsih and wasn't Northern Soul, but I liked it and to annoy them wrote Northern Soul on the label and played it at local do's No idea where that or my spare went but ofc its well regarded now, and if you have a copy with Northern Soul scrawled in young lads handwriting its my fault! Cheers Steve

Many thanks Paul Cheers Steve

Hi Derek Yes mate, JMs are a little too small and Popsike has some very nice stuff, but couldn't see these Cheers Steve

Hey Folks Can anyone post a decent scan of the following tracks (I know a couple are v hard, but nothing ventured and all that) Charles Brandy - I Can't Get Enough Of You JB Troy - Live On Checkmates - Kissin Her William Powell - Heartache Souvs Many thanks Steve

Shame you didn't buy that cheap off me back then But if its any help I have found a few over the years in Big Brother Records in Parkstone. Give it a shot Cheers Steve

On a 60s trip Pat Bradys old Wigan spin

I always thought Yate was one of the very best Allniters with many unique sounds and can't see why Kent with their obvious Yate connections haven't put a CD out. I know we discussed this a couple of years ago, but as far as I know nothing has happened. Whilst we used to go to Wigan at the same time, Yate had its own feel, sometime bordering on the crazy, but always fun! Tunes I will always associate with it are Leon Thomas - LOVE Connie Questal - Give Up Girl Dean Courtney - Love You Just Frank Beverly - Because Of My Heart Deena Johnson - Sad Girl Gambrells - Jive Talk Sweethearts - Beauty Is Just Skin Deep Joanne Courcey - I Got The Power Patti Labelle - Lovin Rules Kris Peterson - Just As Much Hokis Pokis - Swing Harold Melvin - Love I Lost Miracle Workers - Overture Miroslave Virteous - NY City Royal Five - Say It To My Face Rufus Lumely - Stronger Than Me Sterling Magee - Keep On Del Counts - Another Guy Shamets - Don't Waste Four Tracks - Like My Love Tojo - Brokenhearted Lover Theo Coff - Lucky Day Ty Karim - You Really Made It Good To me And plenty more... Most nights were memorable, but most clear are Garry Rushbrooke and Dave Withers guest nights, Ian Stewart selling that huge collection, the night the gear broke down and we built snowmen in the carpark instead..... Happy times Cheers Steve

Hi mate, stranger indeed, just had the busiest 18 months of my life, but things are finally slowing down!! I am well though mate, thanks for asking Cheers Steve PS Did I ever send you that Gang Band scan/mp3?

Nice one mate, one from the dim and distant past.. still remember playing this over and over again from that RCA LP Dickie put out Cheers Steve

You are right mate, early on Russ had some great tunes, but later he definately lost his way, most of the regulars from 79 onwards would catch up with friends, do the record bar etc rather than hit the floor. Thats not to say he didn't play the odd good tune mate, but lets be honest he ended up as a support act for Dickie, Sam, Pat B, Rushbrooke et all We still owe him a great deal however! Cheers Steve

Yes it was a Biggie for Gary R - hardly mentioned these days, here's a scan Cheers Steve Wild_Sound_Unlimited.bmp

It sure is, the Sax break is fantastic but a touch fast these days...... Cheers Steve

Hi I picked one up off Ebay about 5 years ago for next to nothing but sold it for 300 quid and some Modern tunes I normally put all the stuff I sell on CD so will have a look for you and send MP3 direct if u still need it Bloody fast record Cheers Steve

Great venue Russ, with a playlist that was really was across the board Give me a shout when you're back and I'll mail you a copy. I've got some more somewhere, when I find them I'll post those up two! Cheers Steve

Could have had one off me mate! No tapes yet and still need yur address to send you the 79 ones Cheers Steve
