Brill them matey And apart from Little Jewel I think I've heard you play 'em all out too - so yer good to yer word That Bloodstone 45 getting more and more recognition at all styles of venues. Went down well at The Orwell (as played recently by your good self, Molly & Flanny) PLUS The Blackpool Tower main room was a rockin' to it aswell if memory serves Never heard LJ out for zillions of years.........actually bought that rascal when i was still at school Cheers Steve

TOP QUALITY sign offs lads Mr Mooneys reference to me thinking one of the tracks had a similar bass line to 'Float on' Brilliant stuff - has made me smile this morning, that's for sure Cheers Larry.........caaaaancer

Just received the first two releases from Paul Mooney's new venture 'Selecta Records' and felt that it was worth shouting about them :-) I believe the songs on both 45's were made in 2006 and are now released in 2007 on 45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They've been around on CD but it's nice to finally have them on our fave format - vinyl :-) Sheba Potts Wright (SSP 8001) - is a killer double sider - 'I just can't walk away' is an answer version to David Ruffin's classic 'Walk away from love' and is a very tasty little mover indeed. T'other side 'Just for the night' is also a tasty mid tempo dancer, the bass line of which reminds me of The Floaters 'Float on' - Both sides find Sheba in fantastic vocal form! In my opinion, this is a lovely double sider to kick off the label and hopefully will continue to be played at many quality Soul venues in 2007. Bobby Hutton (SSP 8002) - The Chicago Soul legend returns with this very soulful lilter - as above, this has been played by descerning DJ's over the last few months and deserves to sell well! Great lyrics with a great feel and Bobby is still in great vocal form after all these years :-) Keep up the good work Paul - let's hope you're rewarded with the sales you deserve :-) I'm also looking forward to the launch of his sister label 'Shotgun Records' which will release older Soul product on 45's - I'm presuming many of these releases will be either first time on vinyl or even previously unreleased tracks from many top artists - I'm sure Paul will let us know if it's any different? Cheers Steve Plumb

Great choices Sean Still plugging away with 'Lynda Lyndell & Reuben Howell' i see The Moulton 12" of course Cheers Steve

We had a do at breaking this at early Lowton's and Howard back room do's but to no avail :angry: Everything comes to those who wait - maybe 2007 is the year Cheers Steve

Some great stuff there Ivor That True Image is my favourite version of that song - best dancer too! I reckon Clarence Mann is close but this just shades it for me. Top stuff matey Cheers Steve

The tracks folks used to spin from the capitol LP was 'Why can't i be born again' An OK late 60's/early 70's dancer if i remember Plus there's a good cover version of.........shit, forgot the track.........oops just remembered, it was 'just walk in my shoes' a jazzy rendition i think..or was it 'i can't make it anymore' someone will know? Not played it for yonks and don't have it to had at the mo' Also have a couple of copies tucked away Cheers Steve

Fantastic 45 and one i might take to the Hilton tomorrow afternoon.............but surely there's an error..................surely we mean 40 not 400 Cheers Steve

Don't ask BUT this thread has completely missed my radar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's right up my street too! Is it too late to be added to the list??? I'm prepared to send out a CD to everyone as long as i get one back - can some kind soul make a decision on this for me? I do have a few nice LP's Please let me know Steve Plumb

Agree!!! I'd like one of these if anyone has a spare lying around Cheers Steve

Never been bootlegged to my knowledge? Cheers Steve

Just to confirm that these were simply 10 of me favourite Orwell spins of 2006 Cheers Steve

Yeah funny how dealers come and go on ebay! Seemed a good guy at the time too! Even the temptation of 100% profit won't take it from Plumb Towers I'm afraid Let's hope no one starts a 'other good deals on ebay' thread............or i might have to tell you about the Tony Aitken LP Although Sean can top the lot with his Robbie Lawson Cheers Steve

have pm'd ya Kev

Hiya I have a great nick blue US copy too but it's double that! (I'll throw postage in though - hee hee) Tough orig to find these days! Gimme a shout if the one above don't work out! Cheers Steve

fookin ell Epic.........there's no comparison to the vocals of GG to those other two, at least GG is soulful (if a tad out of tune, which is what gives it it's charm imho) ............i feel a new thread coming on.............instrumentals played i.l.o the vocal side????? Cheers Steve

This was the one i won which turned into 3 copies Think my top bid was summat like $300 too You and Sean wanted it for nowt you tight gets Cheers Steve

I think Richard Searling bought one from ebay in the last year or so, as he played it a bit on his show at the time Cheers Steve

Hi Sean Just amended me original story to say i ended up with 3 copies (yours, mine, Girth), i'd forgot (honest!) ....and yes, forgot to omit that it was you i outbid..........................you always was a tight bugger thinking you'd get it for that paltry amount ....in fact, didn't i feel so sorry for you that i sold it you at what you'd bid for it on evilbay????? ...so for that reason alone, i'm afraid the scouts uniform will have to be worn for a few more years in me room at Yarmouth, in fact Girth should really come dressed as a beaver too Cheers Steve

Bloody Hell, you're right...............need to amend me story Thinking about it, it was THREE copies i bagged, the seller had TWO EXTRA copies Happy days at Plumb Towers that day i can tell you BUT at least they went to two top guys Cheers Steve

Same here! I remember Rod playing it at Thorne too! Mark Houghton bagged a copy on his travels in the USA - he tells a good tale of how he came by it too I was lucky enough to win a copy in the very early days of evilbay and the seller had two copies...........so one stayed with me and the other went to the aforementioned Sean Hampsey, who has been in my debt to this day cos i sold it him at next to nowt Brill ender to any night Cheers Steve

Good fun this Sean We should get a few more on board as the month progresses so keep that master list up to date mate! A few Orwellian 2007 spins- David Ruffin - I can't get over losing you - Motown David Ruffin - One lucky day i found you - Motown (can't decide which to go with - BOTH are fantabulous in their own way BUT there's also another 4 or 5 unreleased killers on the CD too!) A couple for the Hilton this coming weekend in the Saturday afternoon tent session- Imagination - Love diet - 20th Century (methinks this may well finally break through this year at most quality venues) Brenda Lee Eager - When I'm with you - Mercury (this will suit the Hilton groovers down to the ground!) Cheers Steve

Thanks for the plug Manus I was lucky enough to have a few mint copies of this BUT I am now down to the last couple of copies...................so if you ain't got it yet, it might be a good idea to bag it now cos when they're gone, they're gone (as they say ) Cheers Steve

Didn't the Mecca only play the instrumental side of Gorgeous George???????? Can someone confirm this or am i dreaming??? Third Point was a great left field Mecca spin too! The B side is a fabulous deep track btw The Rochelle Rabouin dancer with the same backing track as GG has been getting spins of late too! Cheers Steve
