Been checking out some tunes in old issues of the excellent 'New Blackbeat' and this is mentioned as a Sam spin from late '82. Just awesome - has it seen much action in recent years? Can't be many around judging by previous mentions on here i.e. JM auctioned it for almost £3k. Sounds like a Butch tune to me. Need to get saving up

What about the weekend itself - how was that?

Thanks Sam, will PM you

Maybe just me but I love this one The O'Jays 'I Love America' (PIR)

Tiny label tear on 'You got' side. Vinyl clean and shiny but has some funny kind of light stripy marks on both sides, a bit like some kind of lacquer.

Hi Paul, thanks for the info - Martyn who put me onto this was also raving about 'Signs' but I hadn't really appreciated it - top tune though, you are right. What a double sider 'Boom Boom' for me though just sounds totally on the money for now

Thanks for the input - as I said earlier the vinyl etc just looks more recent to me than 1974 e.g. cueing / deadwax at the start quite deep compared with most older 45's, more like something from the late 80's or early 90's - just a gut feel. I'm with Bo Diddley and would feel more settled with a Blue 'Un'

Re. Lillian Hale 'Don't Boom Boom' (Fretone), fantastic 70's track Martyn posted recently on the record club link Just bought one on Discogs but it looks like a boot to me - anyone any info? Martyn did say he thought it had been booted and the white ones were boots as opposed to the blue original. Mine is a pale green colour and just looks like a reissue to me, vinyl & label wise. Discogs doesn't show any reissues at all, and the photo on the advert for the one I bought showed the blue label Any info much appreciated as wouldn't have bought it as a reissue Cheers, Chris.

Interesting doc this, seen it a few times now and while some of it is excellent i.e. contributions from Searling, Levine, Curtis, etc, other things irritate, like the long section with everyone explaining how Four Tops 'Can't help myself' was the blueprint for the northern sound while the clip they use of the song is of the Four Tops live on TV with some laughable TV orchestra version playing rather than the actual 45 - casual viewers must wonder what they've tuned into Also Norman Jay saying the records played were little more than demos, which makes you wonder which records he is talking about. And Pete Waterman saying all the tunes had the same 'bang bang bang bang' beat with no deviation or swing Some good clips and photos though from the Wheel etc

Photos available on request. 1) Juanita Williams - Baby Boy (Golden World) M- £30 NOW £20 Very clean 'Rob Reeco' issue, few very light marks only, plays beautifully. 2) J.J. Barnes - Got to get rid of you / Snowflakes (Volt) Ex £65 NOW £50 Cheers, Chris.

Thanks John, very odd - wonder where they got that from

Discogs has first album year of release as 1970, the second 1971, and ICMIOMO single release 1970 - surely not??! Can't see a date on any of their photos. Someone on youtube also flags the 45 as 1970 but sounds much later to me

My other choice would have been Jasper St Co - will settle for a half if I am right

Fantastic list Mark - always pick up some top tunes from your playlists, and looking forward to the w/e My guess for most played soulful house track is Michael Proctor 'Love don't Live' - not sure about the 'soul' one

Great stuff, really interesting reading. Used to live in Mcr so like to hear about the old days there Just been checking Equals 'Black skin blue eyed boys' on Youtube and one of the comments says 'Mister Smiths, Brazil St, Summer 1970, enough said' - any memories of that club?

Top of the Town sounds interesting - tell us about it. Presumably on Spring Gardens? Was it a soul club?

lol Martyn You need a bit more variety in your life Looking forward to the w/e

Three top tunes there Patto - JJ Barnes a big one to have stayed in the can so long

Check this as well Pete, which samples a bit from the 12" - Patto and Martyn will love this lol. What a voice

Arrived in the post today from Chris Huggins on here. Been chasing a proper one for a while - the sublime Gene Townsel 'I'm Walking Away' (Dobre)

Top tune Rick - always imagined it was Stafford era rather than earlier - bet it sounded great at Clegg

Sorry Rick, meant to say presumably you would remember this - really interesting to see you on there

Not strictly record club but following the thread, some superb footage here of Cleethorpes back in the day
