Epic

I think this is earlier than 75, seeing as I bought it on an emi that year, maybe 71/72?

Came out in 1969

First (& best) record on Turbo - No. 0001

.....wouldn't mind a listen to these

Got a couple of Cds of his infamous radio show

Love the jingle he uses when the girls sing "Do it Frankie do it"

Who wouldn't be into a "That's a boot - somebody's been playing that for years - what's the matrix number? - it's too modern - you can't play that here - is it original? - the label looks dodgy to me - can I measure the runout groove? - it's a bit poppy, but good dancer - can you play Frank Wilson?" scene

What's not to like?

PS The music's good.

well worth the £1

but heres the one i got my CD off Simon M the other day, its his biggest tunes at the moment in the modern room

Back " during the war " - the early part of the 70's - the full version of The News at Ten theme ( complete with the loud bongs at the beginning and the end ) , received plays on the scene ......

Unlike the original post , this is not a joke ........

Malc Burton

Seem to think it was covered up as "Get Your Wig On" by The Bosanquet Band.

PM'D ya

Saw a Youtube clip - it may have been on here - about a year or eighteen months ago with Levi & The Tops on stage with Aretha Franklin - he was in a wheelchair.

Sad but moving in equal measure.

IMHO the greatest soul voice of all time - even when stacked up against Womack, Gaye, Ruffin, Mayfield, Vandross & Jackie Wilson , Levi Stubbs is "The Governor"

Somebody buy the Barbara Jean English - Absolutely wonderful!!

Bill Withers - Lovely Day - right at the end seems to hold the note forever!!!

No matter how much you try to "bull it up" its still a bag of shite...

I was just stating what happened when the record was first played - in fact I have never been hugely keen on it & have never "bulled it up"

Sure Pete would have broke it much quicker !

Was at The Mecca the first night it was played - it was the most talked about tune that evening - seven days later it was The Highland Room's biggest record.

Love the two Sharon Scott tracks on the RCA CDs Kent put out.

Puttin' My Heart Under Lock & Key

I'm Not Afraid

Looked at the playlists on events lookback & get the impression it was another Northern oldies night.

To single out Paul Metcalfe for playing Spiral Starecase & Johnny Moore (which also got played by someone else) is a tad harsh.

Would the people who criticised care to list what they wanted to hear instead of telling us vaguely what they didn't.

Better still how about getting yourselves behind a pair of 1210s & showing us how it should be done.

Remember buying it back in the day for about 30p - me & me mates have always liked it - choonage of the highest order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tO MANY DJS UP THERE OWN ARSES M8 AND I AGREE WITH YOU ,ALOT OF PLACES ARE CRAP X

By that do you mean they don't play the 50 or so records that you want to hear.

One man's meat etc. etc.

You have had a bad experience of a night - haven't we all over the years?

It's all about opinions - there may have been people in the gig who were loving every minute that you were hating.

I presume you were aware of the DJs for the night - surely the roster should tell you what sort of evening you are going to get.

If I attend a night & it doesn't meet my expectations I simply don't attend again & if asked my opinion on the said event will tell people why it was disappointing.

To verbally attack the promoters/DJs is rather harsh IMO - it would be more dignified to vote with your feet at their next gig. That message is quickly taken in by promoters of any event.

"Love Love Love" - Bobby Hebb

It was my late mums favourite soul record - used to hear her singing along in the kitchen when as a teenager I used to play it at home.

Do You Love Me Just A Little - Supremes & Four Tops

Luscious Three "Take me as I am" T'Suga Rays

If a 'certain DJ' started spinning this, it would go through the roof, I'm sure! Played a little at Cleethorpes, then forgotten, sounds sooo good now! Off in MY playbox, remember where you heard it......

Take_me_as_I_am.mp3

Yea - Curtis tune @ Blackpool Mecca circa 1975

Thank The Lord For Love - Living Color

Shy Guy - Johnny Baker

Money Can't - Turn Of The Century

Don't Wait Up For Me Mama - Barbara & Brenda

Time Passes By - James Bynum

I Quit You Win - Jimmy Lewis

Always amuses me when Ian's name is brought to the fore once more. Love him or loathe him he certainly causes a stir one way and another.

There's only one thing worse than being talked about - that's NOT being talked about.

Think Mr L will be having a liittle chuckle to himself about all this.

This is the FOR SALE area, please list in correct area.

WHICH IS WHERE ?
