Is this the awful thing they were singing on SCD on Sunday?

+£5 Postage - WOW!

At least we didn't crack any records!

Sent it TNT did we?

That must have been the night he did his Motown spot then All USA demos as I recall!

Same thing with me, unless it's quite close to home (or the City). Plus often knackered after a week at work on Friday evening - again can manage a soul night, but an all-nighter . By Saturday I am raring to go out.

Some venues (in towns) this comes with the hall booking. As others have said - to keep the monsters out.

Got mine from John Manship but it was about 7 years ago I think when he was at SouL Essence.

Of the new releases Lee McDonald and the remix of "I'll do anything for you", which is a sublime update of this classic track. I've also had the latest Angie Stone in my car boot for over a month - nearer 2 months.....keep forgetting to play it, but I have heard it's good.

Is the Parliaments on Cabell in that lot then?

Not sure if you are taking the Mick Terry - there's no smiley at the end of your post? If not U were dancing to it at Bedford ya prune!

Tight a*se

Venues generally are cheap IMHO compared to the cost of everything else. + Soul DJ's aren't exactly well paid compared to our friends on the funk and jazz scene.

B side pretty good too

One of THE most important 60s records of the last few years....in fact just about THE one for me.

Yes went to all of them, and even one night when it wasn't on. Shocking but a load of us came up from Kent, only to find it empty. So we had to get some staff train back to St Pancras at about 3 am. There were several of them promoted by Ken Cox EASC I seem to recall. Always a big crowd there, most memorable ones for me was when Nev Wherry was DJing but best of all when Sam was on playing all the big Wigan 70's - Love committee cover up, Top Cat etc. It go me to go back to Wigan after a two year absence. Got my Ronnie McNeir there for £10 as well. So a good event in my books. Did a write up in The Northern Line (forerunner to Blackbeat) will try and find it. 1980 I think?

This is my rainy day Mega 60s tune

Deffo looks 80s not earlier than Stang.....judging by the clothes they're all wearing and the "chicks in hot pants" etc Wouldn't have ben allowed on TV with legs like that in the 70s

Great record, but it has cleared the floor for me a couple of times which is very odd. Steve G

The B side is actually the better side......if you can find it.

Ian always has been a top fella and still is Steve G

Styrene - the worst! Same with the Joe Matthews......mentioned above

D'oh I am going to have to play through a few of them tomorrow.....Was going to do a big label feature on Shout in one of the mags -you know reviewing all the good ones on the label....ended up deciding there was too many of them, and it would probably send everyone apart from the 's to sleep.

Certainly went to a speckly yellow / brown label, as opposed to the multi coloured "Parrot". Think still NY based though. Seem to recall a couple of goodies in that 300 series. Actually just noticed Tony P's list includes most of them. Steve
