I was meaning they were newies to me at that time, but when and where were they newies to you?

Ha I know that, I was just interested in when you first heard them yourself?

Got to thinking about when I was 20 or 21 around 1990/91 and started going to niters regularly - Droylesden, Bradford, etc. Loads of records new to me then that I associate with that time and those venues, but obviously most had been played earlier - done a quick list below off the top of me head and would be interested to know where did you personally first hear these tunes? Jimmey Soul Clark - I’ll be your winner Donna Coleman - Your love’s too strong Reggie Alexander - It’s better Kim Weston - A thrill a moment Volumes - Same old feeling Terry Callier - Look at me now Hytones - You don’t even know my name Tommy Ridgley - My love is getting stronger Robert John - Raindrops, love & sunshine Paul Sindab - I was a fool Esther Phillips - Just say goodbye Cashmeres - Showstopper George Freeman - Down and out Geater Davis - My love is so strong for you Buddy Ace - True love money can’t buy Otis Lee - Hard row to hoe L Allen - Can’t we talk it over Posse - Evil George Wydell - Funny feeling Margie Joseph - One more chance Ruby Andrew’s - Just loving you Cheers, Chris

I had a tape of this at one point, might have come from Pete Smith? Worth asking him

Bit wistful reading this, some great nights back in the 90's Top tunes from a real mix of DJ's, great sound system and dancefloor, cool and knowledgeable crowd, etc. Struck a nice balance between connoisseurs vibe and dancefloor friendly - definitely one of my favourite niters of times past. No idea how I got home in one piece Sat mornings driving back to Nottingham though, always a total shambles

Really interesting above, thanks for posting. Someone must have told them Boston wasn't too far from London

Maybe not the first time it was done but always liked the way you can hear all the tracks clearly, Wicked Lester ‘Gaye with an E’ edit

Boris Gardiner - More than words can say (Test Pressing) VG £225 SOLD Bought Mar 21 from Craig Moerer for $300 but also now got an issue so one needs to go As per photos it says 'Lloyd Robinson - I love you' on one side and blank on the other, however plays Boris Gardiner on the Lloyd Robinson side, and Boris 'Groovy kind of love' on the flip Vinyl a bit dull looking but plays loud and clear (louder than the issue) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZaHBnGlMgs

Always looked forward to hearing Bob out and about during the 90's - Ritz, Wilton, etc - not the rarest of records necessarily but great taste and knows how to programme a set, unlike others I can think of who have some records but don't seem to have any idea how to string them together IMHO of course

Didn't know about that - was it booted at the time?

Great thread and info, thanks - love all the detail

Very decent article and photos as well

Queens Hall was so dark it took five minutes for your eyes to adjust

Worth a post! Great clip

Been meaning to say thanks for contributions to this thread, kept me busy checking them out and some superb stuff new to me - really interesting to see other folks top buys - northern, reggae, new release, expensive, cheap etc

The Morcambe piece was on C4’s Ear Say as a piece by Gary Crowley if I remember right

Many thanks, will have a watch

Thanks Dave, Not to go off topic but I'm not very good at telling vinyl from styrene

Can’t find the SP version on discogs at all - sample photos are the PL or MO versions
