    Hi, any artist, any label. Just interested in that type of sound as opposed to the smoother 'motowny' stuff. Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

    Or Four Tops-Shake Me, Wake Me?
  3. Tony Turner
    How about Temptations-Get Ready?

    By way of a change I thought that I’d make myself a compilation of Stax/Atlantic type sounds a la Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke etc. I’m having a lack of imagination problem however so any suggestions of mid to uptempo sounds in that vein would be extremely welcome. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sitting in a Jaguar dealership and on comes 'The Who Who Song' followed by 'Trying To Find My Woman'!
  8. Tony Turner
    Yes, that's The Purple Hearts

    Great record, but no business being played at a soul night imo

    I had it on a tape many years ago but cannot recall what it was. From memory it was a late 60s/ early 70's thing, with a chorus 'Penny for them, penny for them'. Not a lot to go on but hopefully enough for somebody to identify it?

    More great listening Sean, takes me back to when I was 16!

    I've heard that The Stylistics appeared and were impressive. My knowledge of them is limited to their 70s hits and a couple of early 80s releases. Was anybody in the forum there? What sort of material did they do? I've often wondered.

    Cheers Andy

    A great listen indeed, is there a tracklisting for part one?
  15. Tony Turner
    Could I have a copy of the list please - aat.ch@tesco.net

    Although not from 1966, I really wish that they would give a release to Martha & The Vandellas - I'm Willing To Pay The Price.

    I loved it because it was so different. Did you play Kitty Haywood-Givin' It Up too?
  18. Tony Turner
    Thanks Dave, if memory serves me right it was you that played it wasn't it?

    Hi all Any ideas about a current price for a 45 of this old Stafford spin? A quick google search seems to indicate that Boogie collectors like it. Thanks in advance Tony Turner

    I work with a chap who is very much into his 50s and Americana.He's aware of the Northern Soul scene and we got to discussing the last gasp attempts of 50s artists like Tommy Sands, Jerry Naylor etc (The Statue, City Lights) - he asked if I could compile some of the tunes for him. I'd love help with suggestions- Charlie Gracie, Charlie Rich and so on, records that have been played at our clubs. Over to you lot

    A very sad loss, nice, helpful guy. I had never met him but spent hours chatting on the phone to him often about nothing to do with music. He loved comedy too, especially 'Bottom'!
  22. Tony Turner
    Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Any more for any more? Just to invite the 'are you insane' type comments I remember hearing 'Ain't Nothing But A Houseparty' for the first time in about 1981 at the Barrel Organ in Birmingham and being convinced that it was a Motown record.
  23. Tony Turner
    There's some bizarre people about! I work with someone who is 'into Motown' and will not accept that there are many many soundalikes. What would you suggest as the most Motown sounding not on Motown tunes to compile for him?
  24. Tony Turner
    Very sad news, RIP

    Terrible news, sincere condolences to Helena's friends and family.
