anyone mentioned Don & Juan - Heartbreaking Truth yet?

there's nothing wrong with a beat ballad or two in a set IMHO. Mid tempo and beat ballads is my prefered listening at home but I'm not that daft to think you can get a way with a full set of 'em...anyway I prefer to hear dancers, mid tempo moovers when out but I still think there is always room for the odd quality beat ballad or two in a set if done right

I thought the same in places

I'm also sat here scratching my head wondering how some of the records mentioned can me mentioned in a thread about the slowest record ever on the northern scene

Catalinas You Haven't The Right on Scepter

June Conquest is both an extraordinary, and extraordinarily (and undeservedly) obscure soul singer. During the early '60s, she released a pair of singles, "Almost Persuaded" under her own name, and a duet with a man known only as the Demon on "The Only Way to Correct a Mistake (Is to Make One)." She was based in Houston around the time of the latter record, which, like its predecessor, failed to chart, and have since become choice collector's items. By 1966, Conquest was based in Chicago and signed to Curtis Mayfield's short-lived Windy C label, where she only cut one single, "Take Care." Mayfield obviously had a lot of faith in her ability, signing her to Curtom when he organized the company in 1968. Her single "What's This I See" was the first record ever issued by the new label and became a serious local hit in Chicago. Despite this encouraging start, however, Conquest's solo recording career never took off. She next appeared a year later in a duet setting. The idea had been to team Conquest with Sam Cooke's brother L.C. Cooke, who was a pretty formidable soul singer in his own right, but he didn't make the sessions. Instead, Donny Hathaway, who had never before cut records outside the setting of the Mayfield Singers or as a backup singer on various Windy C and Curtom sides, stepped in. It was the start of an auspicious career, but not for Conquest. Donny & June, as they were billed, didn't tear the charts up with "I Thank You," "Just Another Reason," or their remake of "What's This I See," but the sound they got anticipated Hathaway's subsequent celebrated duets with Roberta Flack. Indeed, the single "I Thank You," which went almost unnoticed in 1969, finally came into its own three years later, reaching number 41 on the R&B listings and number 94 pop when it was reissued in the wake of Hathaway's success with Flack. It wasn't enough to rescue Conquest's recording career, however; she never cut another record and later gave up singing. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

June Edwards Come On And Tell better known as Faye Crawford - What Have I Done Wrong - RCA

I just had to double check my original post

sure will be good to see you both again

More like £50 Shute. Have seen as high as £75 but £50 a fair price. 5 inch Erect issue is almost 7 minutes long.....sure Acid Jazz is a shorter re-mixed version, slow intro not as long for a start, not 100% sure about the acid jazz release but sure someone will confirm.

What about the Barons Of Soul, first played plus two....how was yours and others thinking when you realised this?

I personally not bothered what anyone else thinks, if it floats my boat, whatever the style, year or tempo then thats all that bothers me

dunno if what you want..... NS_fist.bmp

I agree with the pair of you, thats why it can be a bugger to shift but like I said it's far rarer than the price reflects.

most burning programs come with a recorder these days, Roxio, Nero etc. Many software makers have a free trial version for you to download, soundforge (which is what I use) etc, these usually give you 30 or 60 days to try them out then you have to pay for full version

yep, standard headphone socket down to 3.5mm socket (I think thats correct size) for soundcard, explain at Maplins and they will put you right. As for software sure someone on here will point you in the right direction

headphone socket on your amp will do and into line in socket on your pc soundcard.

Personally think it's rarer than a 400-800 price would suggest...always rated this nearer £1000. Records like the Ringleaders and Tangeers are £400 and they don't come close in rarity

I would say Nicky Newarkers more like £500. LaShawn Collins is sublime

once anyone has had a few drinks at party or student night out I doubt they even realise what they are dancing too Isn't the idea to get them dancing to something that they are gonna want to come back too? All-nighter (even your average soul night) music is a long way from mainstream motown you would hear at a party.

I thought most things on ebay were Northern Soul these days

apparently he lists Badly Drawn Boy, Sly & Family Stone, Stevie Wonder & Neil Young amongst his favourites.....

I can send it off list when I get home tomorrow sometime. I thought5 we were supposed to be uploading sounds via the new clip button at the bottom due to concerns over file sharing...still see some doing it old way though

at a guess 1963 or 1964 clicking on the links to record master it states 1964 for both
