Hi Vince You could make a movie file using windows movie maker or similar software, upload it to you tube and then post the clip on here. If you don't know the process, if you send me the mp3 using PM, I'd be very happy to do it for you. Is this acetate any good? I've got a Hipster Image flexi with All For You and Little Piece of Leather on it which is a tad corny. Maybe the organist bought a Hammond and they improved? ATB Mike

Change Gonna Come takes some beating

This has a pretty decent intro and the rest of it aint too bad either. https://youtu.be/gUulr8w3FPY

Jnr Walker easily my favourite non Jazz saxophonist. I started playing tenor sax as a 19 year old and he was a massive influence. He had the sweetest tone and brilliant technique! The baritone sax player on all those Motown mid 60's stuff was cool. Loads of great solo's - couple of faves :- 4 Tops - Something About You - raucous is the only description for that one. Isley's - I Guess I'll Always Love You And of course Bari Track - Baritone sax genius! Btw Swifty that is a killer King Curtis cover of Green Onions - not heard it before and going onto the MP3 player.

The video footage is nicked from the clip of Richie Havens performing this song accoustically at Woodstock. Great alternative to Spyder Turner's version of the song.

Hi Gogger I like that Edwin track - never heard it before! Here's one from another of the soul scene's major artists recorded after their classic period but still showing that they still had alot to give. Well I think it's a good track https://youtu.be/Vl4J_wEk7hw

RIP - His Baby, I Love You oozes gritty class and should get played out more often IMO.

Someone beat me to posting I like The Way I Feel, so here's another of Darrow's Revue 45's

According to DFTMC Baby Hit & Run was unissued until TMG 886 Feb 1974. It was also on the Mfp album May 1974. I always liked their version of It's Growing on that Mfp album. An improvement on the Temps version IMO

As you say, oldies room St Ives almost pitch black apart from the light above the DJ's decks and when the doors opened at back or down the front.

Hi Ritchie Good choice and that was a popular spin in the Main ( newies) Hall. Others played in there which remind me of St Ives include Adams Apples - Don't Take it Out On This World , Bobby Hutton - Lend A hand, Jo Bell Orch - Never Gonna Let You Go, Todays People - SOS Time for Love , Lainie Hill - Time Marches On. Oldies Room - Lee Roye -Tears, Herbie Hunter - Born To Love You, Joe Hicks - Don't It make You Feel Funky. ATB Mike

Yes, a very interesting read - will have to check out the clip when I get home, coz I can't get youtube to play at work. Right time to get on with some work!

Hi Chalky I've really enjoyed listening to these podcasts. Like I said, I never went to Stafford and never realised that alot of newly released stuff was played there. Listening to these podcasts I can understand why it was an exciting period to be on the scene. Expect to be listening to these many times in the coming weeks and thanks for posting them. ATB Mike

Never went to stafford but from what I've heard of stuff broken there, I'm sure these are gonna be good - should cheer up cycling to and from work next week.

Enjoying the show - glad I tuned in. ATB Mike

Hi Jason The Bobby Foster track is another top quality posting from you. A real "indie" sound - no overdubs apart possibly from the vocal, great drums, bass, piano and guitar and some studio "bleeding" right at the beginning if you listen on headphones of something which sounds like " what the f**** going on ? I love big productions but these indie releases are what I personally like the most especially the difficult to dance to middle eight. Another one for the mp3 player.

Quite right! what is the problem of the singer on the left wearing a scarf and the singer on the right?

I've got it on a Va Va Voom giveaway CD from last year and I remember bidding on it last summer when it went for over £150 on ebay. Just noticed that he's also got James Dockery - My Faith In You Is All Gone newly added - another one I'd Like to have.

Would love a copy too! - one of me faves and was surprised to read in his most recent guidebook that it's listed at £40.00 - gotta be a misprint!

Hi Gogger Been waiting to get home to check this out coz I can't get youtube clips to play on my pc at work. I was knocked out by the Jnr Walker & The All Stars in Brixton clip I posted up recently which you commented on and was surprised not many people viewed it, but I think you may have aced me with this. I remember recently defending What's Going On on a thread in Artist of the Week making the point that all the right personnel are on it ie James Jamerson, Earl Van Dyke, Eddie Bongo Brown etc and was pleased to see them all playing on this clip - don't think i've seen any live footage of James Jamerson before and you're right about the quality of the bass playing. Thanks for posting - never seen it before and it's brilliant!

Thanks for all the replies. I have begun a dispute with paypal for non delivery. ATB Mike

Anyone know the background on this? tailor made for UK northern soul market or did it get a US release? Either way sounds pretty good to these ears and I wouldn't mind a copy. https://youtu.be/st9rz5mjvCI

Yeah see what you mean and agree - will get onto it tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice. I've just been looking at the ebay website and now see how to open a case for non delivery. I've looked at his feedback and true to his word,he has recently had several satisfied customers but that's no help to me if the dimwit can't get my address right.

Afraid not but was hoping I could get my money back through raising a case with ebay?
