Can you uncover the cover ups, half we can't remember or figure out.....

I thought this might be of interest to some of you.... As part of my research into hopefully one day writing a book on the scene post Wigan I have begun to do a timeline of event, 1980-1990. Here are scans of the first half of 1984. It is data taken from The Echoes magazine only and is all-nighters and all-dayers only, just a few soul nights that I considered important or part of a larger history for a certain Club, 6ts for instance. There are more soul nights than my lifetime allows me to research As you can see it was pretty health all-nighter wise, certainly far more healthier than what was happening at the back end of the Wigan era, 1980/81 which was dominated by all-layers and jazz Funk. Still a lot of the Djs from the earlier years getting plenty of work but many of the new breed at the forefront. As you will see, clashing is not just a thing for today's scene.

This weeks show

probably the last of the great record bars at nighters? There and Blackburn

Not sure anything is stuck on, think the label is torn and a stamp over the torn bit, had it me hands many years ago but memory not what it was

Before then, early 80s Dave Withers and Rod Shard. Not sure if it was one they got from Richard Searling along with CODs and other Combinations. @Modernsoulsucks

Emory Lewis Cloud is the one in the Combinations

Loved the place, one of the best venues. So many great nights and times with some great mates there. Sad that society has no room for such a great venue.

What is the source of this one? The type face for the cat number, title and artist is different to the rest of the layout, more glossy in colour too.

It is far rarer than the likes of Cecil Washington yet seen people saying it was expensive, I thought it was more than reasonable, cheap in fact looking at the prices Cecil, Hamilton Movements and Magnetics has been fetching of late. When was the last time they saw a Johnny Hampton for sale? Been a few years for me.

Two hours of great soul music and a 3,2,1 from James Elliott

I agree, very rare record. Was a grand ten years ago

Dean Anderson is joined by Tim Brown and Andy Dyson for some great selections

I know you don't play them games, know you generally press more than most. Its good to see them selling so quick but good music always will. Keep on doing what you are doing.

Fish at first experience records has copies, or had them, I managed to get one from him...you need to press more Alex

Heard someone say Jimmy Mack on Palmer was Jimmy Soul Clarke, first time I'd heard that connection

Best of Philly session musicians at Virtue studio

Whoever bought Four Voices also bought Pages "H&P" for over £1k

Live in the studio tonight on The Sound of Soul ™ Tim Brown and Andy Dyson. Should be a good un…..

If you can’t find maybe we haven’t but it has all been discussed and noted who the various Jimmy Mack’s are, except the Detroit one of course. I have certainly posted a link to the story of McMillan before.

Nor am I, nor am I surprised at Freddie Houston too which has been steadily rising over the years.

Its a Philly recording isn’t it, Virtue.

All been covered in another topic

Have to agree with your valuation of Rueben Howell. It has sold for a tone or so consistently. Of the buyer had asked on line in wants he’d have got one for around that too. £500, he’s taken leave of his senses. Just buy the Lp for £20 or so and get other tracks as well.

“BIYMG” is one of the great soul records.
