Scotters

Really enjoyed being first guest at your new night Len...I still can't believe you trusted me with it but thanks anyway Here's what I can remember playing from 8-9 while people were arriving and settling in. Brilliant night and really enjoyed what you, Stevie P, Bob Snow, Dave Vanner + Mick & Mo chose to play. Philosophical soul for sure.

First offer received of £300 thank you very much.

SOLD thank you, this rare funk 45 as not seen many come up and unsure of it's appeal out there?! I think it's got something both sides. One of those few that doesn't appear to have made it to you tube etc as yet, so that alone makes it "interesting" I think. Please listen to sound from actual record both sides. Maxine Womack - One step at a time.mp3 Maxine Womack - What'cha gon-na do.mp3 Visually I'd grade VG+, nice an glossy but the "One step side" has two scratches approx 15mm long side by side you can see on photo below and hear on each rotation. The "What'cha" side is cleaner, just a few light marks and record has a slight warp which causes needle to wobble a bit (but not jump, even when weight reduced to say 1.5g) I'll leave this unlocked for any insights on the record, label or artist etc...always keen to learn. Cheers, Steve

Received the two new prev unreleased 45s from Secret Stash thru the door today and both excellent I think, as per the front page news thread! Still loving the Vic Pitts and the Cheaters LP they also pulled together a couple of months ago. I was kindly given a great new LP last Sunday...a brilliant UK soul singer which I've really enjoyed all week... Myles Sanko - Forever Dreaming. Worth a look and listen I think. Thanks again Brian

Brilliant, thanks...and if this "is just a sampler of many great tracks to follow.." then we really are lucky and something to look forward to. The separate thread on here about 60's newies....I personally hope there's years/decades of lots more largely unheard finds to be enjoyed yet.

How good is that prev unreleased Dee Dee Warwick track Brian?! Really enjoyed hearing all those and also the superb 45's, LP tracks and CD only things that Sid kindly brought along to share. Hopefully he'll post those up in the next week or so as I was half chatting with the Spanish couple at the time, but also only half listening to what they were saying . Just so good. Here's the dozen or so I played this time anyway: Naomi Shelton - Sinner (Daptone) Gene Washington & the Ironsides - Don't throw your love away (Colemine) Lil John Roberts - Closer to the source (Starburst) Elliot Macauley - All my life (Soul Junction) Gene Washington & The Ironsides - Got to get through to you (Colemine) The Relatives - True love is hard to find (Heavy Light) Emory & the Dynamics - Things that a lady ain't suppose to do (Peachtree)...from the Atlanta Session LP until someone can gift me the 45 The Relatives - Leave something worthwhile (Heavy Light) The Whispers - Needle in a haystack (Dore)...great alt mix to the one on Soul Clock for anyone interested Marvin Gaye - My love for you (Tamla Motown) Sam Dees - Soul Sister (Lo Lo) Maxine Womack - One step at a time (Tack) Little Ron Johnson - I keep telling you (Hard Times) Cheers, Steve

Thanks Ray...been meaning to replace Technics ones for ages and these are top quality. Good to be able to drop a 45 on from a distance and watch it find its way perfectly centre of the deck. Oh and hopefully won't repeat recent cracked record incident

Personally still catching up on the 1000s of records found and played, danced to by others in the 60's and '70's...still seems never ending to me, always will I think with my goldfish memory and then there's all the LP only things, recent releases of prev unreleased stuff still coming through + quality new soul artists and bands out there. Happy days and nights for sure.

Yes absolutely and any new release on Kent/Ace or other such quality label is a special day I think. There's more than enough of us hungrier by the day for any "newie", especially 60's unreleased or not well known. Please keep up the hard work for our benefit.

Can't give a single fave but lots listed would be up there for me...I would also have to include Bobby Taylor - Taylor made soul, so many great tracks but especially "Don't be afraid".

Great end to the weekend that, thanks to all who came along.... and yes Brian...I was quite happy just listening to your plays for that last hour and glad I did + I didn't bring enough records truth be told Enjoyed playing these few earlier in the night anyway and hopefully something of interest in there. The Sensational - Jesus gave me water (Skyway) Al Supersonic & the Teenagers - Under Construction (Unique LP) Ronnie Mcneir - Baby I know remix (abouttime CD) Soulutions - Listen (sundae soul - Drizabone mix) Clydene Jackson - I need your love (Crossover LP) Jessica Lauren - Just a dream (Soul Jazz LP) Betty Wright - Keep Feelin' (Alston LP) Tony & Lynn - I'm hip to you baby (Blue Rock) Marvin Gaye - Where are we going (Motown 12) Blaze - I wonder (Motown LP) Marvin Gaye - Woman of the World (Motown 12) The Stimulation - Can you dig where I'm commin from (Hi-Stepping) Tyrone Ashley's Funky Music Machine - Can't stay away (Truth & Soul LP) Vic Pitts & The Cheaters - You made me love you (Secret Stash LP) Universal Joint - Love won't wear off (Sniff) Bobby Moore & Rhythm Aces - Can't get away (Chess P-Vine LP) Lady Lee - Simple things (Pride) Thanks Jonno!
