Lights go out, Clown Screams, you MOVE! All these were being played in 1989 in some cases well before! It was a time of change where many genres lived under one roof, House, Rave, New Beat, Rap, and so on, EXCITING TIMES! We used to go to the Snapper club nights @ Hummingbird in B'ham allot, you could hear any one of these tracks along side the specials and Haircut 100! The music was that varied & better for it! I'll be doing several one hour shows from 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and I may push to 93/4, so look out for those spread within my regular Soul Shows... It's all Good Mal.C This one's for Bobby Bloore!

These two are really good 45s....

This weeks, sorry last weeks show is a bit late, oh well ! However... Norman Connors opens the batting in this weeks show, his song 'Once I've Been There’ has been there so long its second nature for all Soul Fans. Merry Clayton gives use her rousing rendition of ‘Emotion’ also done by Webster Lewis & another singer I can recall. Leon Ware, Ronnie McNair & Chuck Jackson all STONE classics, Darrow Fletcher does his version of ‘No Limits’ also sang by Jean Terrell on A&M. Mark Williams is the lesser known version of 'A House For Sale’ he was from New Zealand & also does a great version of HDH “Why Can’t We be Lovers’ on his EMI Lp ‘Taking it all in Stride’. Paul Walters is a very rare crossover 45 on 521 records out of Brooklyn NY, 521 was a local Nightclub & the label has some interesting releases. The Drivers is a semi know 45 that comes up, great vocals from Chuck Freeman wonder what else he did? Cornell Gunter was on Tim Brown's list last week @ £400, from what I can see it did not sell, but hey it's a great floaty Modern swayer. I included Tim Murray because of the soon to be released version by Melvin Davis via Diggin' Deep, WOW! Bill Brown & the Soul Injection is one of two favourite unreleased at the time tracks from Disco Edits, far superior to that 'Soul Injection' 45 on Accent. The Ascots track is from their Crazy Cajon LP ‘Colour me Soul’ an Essential Lp! Finishing with Vee Allen on Lion Records, class slowie. Next Time Mel.B ** Track Listing** Norman Connors - Once I've Been There Barbara Jean English - I'm Living A Lie Merry Clayton - Emotion Ralph Graham - Ain't no Need Leon Ware - Instant Love Ronnie McNeir - I'm So Thankful Chuck Jackson - I've Got The Need Darrow Fletcher - No Limit Mark Williams - A House For Sale Barbara Brown – So in Love Paul Walters - I know what love is all about Bill Brown & the Soul Injection - Time after Time The Rotations - When he slowly moves away from you The Drivers - Blackbird in Despair Irene Reid - I Must Be Doing Something Right Tim Murray - Thinking of You Cornel Gunter - Love In My Heart Fresh Flavour - Without You Baby, I'm a Loser Delilah Moore - I'll Just Walk Away The Ascots - Lets Serenade our Love Master Plan - Dance All Night Sammy Relford - Hey Love The Futures - Thats the Way of a Woman's Love Vee Allen - Cheating is a No No

Ha! like how Mick gets awarded 'SOLUTION' ! I thought music was about feeling not a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation!

Doesn't sound right to me Andy, if they were the full article as it were, they would be on for the full market value, I'd steer clear mate.. Mal

Hey Dave, does Ketty Lester have 'Westcoast' on the LP? M

Yeah but you do make an exceedingly good Bakewell tart Captain Birdseye

Just listening to 'The Impressions - Rhythm' above here, great track, and thought GOD! I forgot the The Dontells - Move On Down The Line / There Goes A Fool. How good are these tracks... not 'Norven' and all that, just brilliant Chicago Soul...

The other one I really like is Bill Brown & the Soul Injection - Time after Time, again the others by Bill Brown Disco edits put out were ok, but no where near this. I had that Soul Injection - Stay off the Moon on Accent some years back, ten dollars off ebay, absolutely dreadful record, actually out of tune in the beginning, promptly sold it for 50 quid to somebody on here... crap track and I think I dropped a bollock on the price

My favourite has been James Reese & The Progressions - Joker (Where Did You Come From). Just a wonderful crossover record, perfect in every sense :_0) their other unreleased on on Disco edits doesn't come near... Let's Go (It's Summertime) is brill though..

Wolf Moon coming this Sunday Steve, and the winds look to be westerly / SSW, I think this weekend is gonna blow fishing wise... Caught this very old Carp yesterday at my local pool, which I walked to with all my kit btw, nearly killed me! There are about 40-50 carp in this 4 acre pool, and they do not get caught regularly, so if you catch one they are always full of character and it's well worth the wait, I had blanked 8 times here before this one, thats how hard it is... they also have a big head of Tench in there as well, some well up to 8lb. Mal

WOW, Melvin Davis ‘Thinking Of You' cant make my mind up whether its better than Tim Murray, its a different feel, but you gotta have both versions right? great music stuff Sean

Very seventies 'Mecca' feel to this weeks show, Bobby Womack, Cecil Holmes, Phyllis Hyman are 3 synonymous artists with the music played at that famous club. Sammy Relford intro is from his 'Space City' Lp, I will include some other tracks in weeks to come. Mike James Kirkland does an amazing version of the Carol king song. Lawrence Carroll's Peoples band is the Inst side to Qunestine Strong on 'Rania' label out of Phoenix, Arizona, also very worth checking out Bobby Barnes recording's on that label. Two interesting tracks, Julia Holter - Hello Stranger is from 1993, & is an ethereal cover of the Barbara Lewis million seller, 'Black Fur' has been sitting in my collection for years, it has a funk flip, but I have to say its been my favourite this week! also got a release on a reissue 7 via the Numero group about ten years back, so easy cheap repro copies are out there! See you soon cheers malc # Track Listing 1 Brand New Man Sammy Relford 2 Losing you Courtial 3 Ain't Gonna Stop Willie Hutch 4 My Baby's Gone Blade Family 5 Everybody's Gonna be Alright Bobby Womack 6 Living Inside Your Love Phyllis Hyman 7 Long Time No See Leon Ware 8 Standing Right Here Melba Moore 9 Relating A Message To You Cane & Able 10 It's Too Late Mike James Kirkland 11 Living in Harmony Diamond Street Rhythm Band 12 Soulful Love Cecil Holmes 13 One Hundred Years From Now (instrumental) Lawrence Carroll's Peoples band 14 Tell me You Will Stay Jerry Bell 15 Let it Flow Camelle Hinds 16 This Is My Confusion Black and Ward 17 Hello Stranger Julia Holter 18 When We Get Together Soon Black Fur 19 otro final ! 20 Outro Moving On Up

I was mad about this track for ages, but not one single sniff of it...! prefer the Gloria Jay version though..

Last weeks show had loads of response, so a BIG thank you to everybody who enjoyed it. So the pressure was on! This weeks show is therefore named in tribute to the sadly departed Mary Wilson, 'Take a Look inside' was unreleased at the time, its a cracking Supremes song. Dee Dee Sharp, Sunny Day & Liberation Street Singers give us a real lift to start, Billy Chears, Betty Wright put the brakes on, barely! Inner City is the most recent track here from 89. Dianne Reeves, Leos Sunship are two big favorites of mine, I bought Sue Barker in Australia 16 years ago, she was an 'Aussie' Jazz artist. Charles Bradley does Chicago with 'Put a Flame on It' rings of 'Mel & Tim', which is fine in book! The Camaro's are the version of that song, The Resonaires was a tip from Steve Scotney, cheers mate, Jimmy J. Barnes was cut around the same time as his 'Born Again' Lp, finishing with a killer slowie from Joe Valentine on Ronn Records. Rest in Peace Mary Wilson... ** Track Listing ** Dee Dee Sharp - Share My Love Sunny Day - Coming Of Man Liberation Street Singers - Love is in the Air Candi Staton - Get It When I Want It Billy Chears - Free your mind Betty Wright - So Long, So Wrong Inner City - Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin' (Def Mix) The 9th Creation - Rule of Mind The Supremes - Take a look Inside The Steelers - A Thousand Tomorrows Cleveland Robinson - People with their hang-ups Dianne Reeves - Welcome to my Love Jim Spencer and Son Rize - The blues are out to get me Leos Sunship - Madam Butterfly Natural Sounds - I Need Love Sue Barker - Love To The People 1619 Bad Ass Band - Where do I Go From Here Billy Butler and Infinity - Hung Up on You Carla Thomas - I've Fallen in Love with You Charles Bradley - Put a Flame on It The Avons - When The Boy That You Love (Is Loving You) The Camaro's - We're Not Too Young The Naturals - Da Da Da Da Da (I Love You) David Ruffin - Let Somebody Love Me The Resonaires - Standing With You Willie Collins - Don't Stop Now Jimmy J.

and this is the flip side

I love collecting, what I consider really great interpretations of soul songs, more than just a 'Cover' version, anyhow I've just hard this, and it's fabulous

wow, it's a very deep label, I mean I have 45's on Malco and a few LP's, but I always feel there is more in there I've not heard, hope the book unlocks it for me

I bet its gone, but I'll try him,, cheers for the tip:-)

Eddie has just announced on his live show the 45's are in the TWR offices, ready to go out :-) he has 'Time is Long' by Rick Hickman coming out very shortly as well, deffo getting one of those...

Aussie one here, very nice on Australian release wish I had the 45 though...
