  1. Have a look here mate - Showmen - Wrong Girl.
  2. Nah. Don't listen to him, he doesn't go out anymore and wouldn't have to put up with the influx of loons that an over publicised ns scene would create. As previously stated you get a better turned out and well rounded soulie if they have to dig a little in the first place. We did. Who says they'd be interested anyway if it was rammed down their throats? In general the ill-informed's view of us is (as Ady once put it) "a load of weirdos dancing to crap music all night".
  3. Voted Bad. "I really like that fried chicken music you played" Depends on the level of media exposure I guess. Too much and we'll be overrun by jiving idiots and their girlfriends, complete with drinks in the middle of the floor. Too little and it will surely die. It's there to be found and that's why people who are prepared to dig a little will usually get more out of it, rather than it be served up to them in a styrofoam container...
  4. Thanks Tommy. Moving to main section.
  5. Indeed. Had a demo of this at first, but had to take it back as it had a click. Ended up with a mint issue. Perhaps a bit too early to be played out? Freddie Gorman - The day will come - MIRACLE. Another for that list. What ever happened to the spirit of Stafford eh?
  6. Yeah that's why I arxed about the run in, as it's a vg plusser but that endearing sssssssssss at the start is all part of it. Think JM had a mint one for 200.
  7. noticed you grazing micheal, bump
  8. what cd is it on?
  9. True, still some good stuff on there. Just that obscure stuff was a treat.
  10. Great record. Got mine at a boot sale, or charity shop, can't recall. But pence! And stone mint.
  11. Rare? Nah.. Hebb wrote this in tribute to John F. Kennedy, but also in tribute to his brother, who was killed by a mugger in 1963. This was recorded to fill out an album at the end of a session. Cher recorded this in the '60s as a tribute to her partner, Sonny Bono. "Sunny" is the name of a song written by Bobby Hebb. It is one of the most covered popular songs, with hundreds of versions released. BMI rates "Sunny" number 25 in its "Top 100 songs of the century". Hebb wrote the song after suffering a double tragedy - a national loss followed by a personal one: On 23 November 1963, the day after US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Hebb's older brother Harold was killed in a knife fight outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by both events and sought comfort in songwriting. The song he wrote was the optimistic "Sunny": "All my intentions were just to think of happier times basically looking for a brighter day because times were at a low tide. After I wrote it, I thought "Sunny" just might be a different approach to what Johnny Bragg was talking about in 'Just Walkin' in the Rain'". "Sunny" was recorded in New York City and released as a single in 1966. It met an immediate success, which resulted in a tour with The Beatles for Hebb. Many other artists have recorded their own versions of the song, including Georgie Fame and Cher (both of whom charted their versions in the UK in 1966), Frank Sinatra with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, the Electric Flag, The Four Seasons, the Four Tops, Wilson Pickett, Les McCann, Dusty Springfield, James Brown, Classics IV, Jose Feliciano, Johnny Mathis, Del Shannon, Buddy Richard, Leonard Nimoy ( ), Marvin Gaye, Stanley Jordan and Twinset featuring Barnaby Weir. Another successful remake was released by Boney M in 1977. This version was sampled by the Boogie Pimps and used to create their 2004 hit "Sunny." Hebb himself released a disco version of the song in 1976, and had minor success on Billboard's R&B chart with it.
  12. Top tune indeed love the clapping from start to finish. Picked a copy up the other week (thanks to Dave Thorley) £60.00 Mikey did you sell your copy in the end? How much? (If you don't mind me asking). And how was the run in?
  13. Well Chalky's post was from May 2005. But there's one on Ebay at the mo' with a day or so to go - four quid. Deffo pick this up at a bootsale - 50p.
  14. I thought it was by Barbara Long? - 'We called it love' Top tune indeed, remember mate Nige getting a copy of this from Keb circa 1990 for £150. Deffo think you should sell it to me Jo! A few I couldn't play for one reason or another; Eddie Day & 4 Bars - What's on your mind SHELLEY George Cameron - My heart tells me so PORTRAIT Roy Hamilton - Earthquake EPIC
  15. Find Youtube soul a bit of an anti climax since they took down all Pete Smith's stuff. Ray Pollard, My girl and I - never gonna see that again and where else would you see that?
  16. Top tune indeed. Cut short our chinwag at Shooting High as I recall. Just feel inexorably drawn to the floor every time I hear it. Should be in everyone's top 10, or there's summing wrong wiv ya!
  17. Unless I've missed a few posts, haven't noticed too many say they'd mind hearing a good tune spun a few times over the course of a nighter.
