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

So have I nestled amongst a brace of other tasty GRP demos https://www.soulmusic.co.uk/ Cheers Steve

After nearly 30 years of trying, maybe 'Brief Encounter - What about love - Capitol' might finally make it in 2007!!!!!! Plus, now i've 'sort of' fixed the jump in the 45, gonna regroup and respin 'Rideout - Spend some time - Hotlicks' So that's two from me for now.................. Cheers Steve

Just thought of another one! Rideout - Spend some time - Hotlicks Monster Modern dancer similar to 'Daybreak - I need love' Opinions please folks? Cheers Steve

--> QUOTE(C.B @ Dec 22 2006, 09:42 AM) link Agree! What a monster tune! Best track I heard at last year's Yarmouth weekender actually, thanks to you Steve Actually this is the only LP I've bought in over 5 years or so Nice of you to say that Christian Actually, I haven't played it out as much as i really should Need to put that right in 2007 Take care mate and see you soon Cheers Steve

Merry Christmas and a soulful 2007 to all who sail in Soul-Source!!!!! Thanks to Mike for doing a fabulous job on the number 1 Soul site in the country Thanks to young Mr Bicknell for keeping Soul alive on the radio with his fabbo Sunday Solar show Thanks also Mark for the invite on your show, was one of the highlights of my year - loved it Thanks to everyone who has sold me records this year and made me a poorer but happier man Thanks to everyone who has bought records off me this year - hope I've made you poorer but happier Thanks to all who have supported us at The Orwell - onwards and upwards for 2007 (7th Anniversary in March!) Thanks to everyone not mentioned above Have a good 'un Cheers Steve

Yep, i know it was good...........but I think Softouch slightly shades it Off to find it in the digital cave that is my pc and i'll post it later Cheers Steve

That's the beauty of our scene Tony isn't it! There's always something new to (re)discover There's other killer cuts on this LP too! Cheers Steve

not actually looked into this uploading malarky on the new SS but if no one posts the B side i'll have a do for y'all! Or i could sing it for you if you want? 'say that you love me booooooooooooy...............and i'll give you all my time' How's that Cheers Steve

will the new owner of the Len Jewell on Mr Wood please stand up don't tell me there will be three copies of it in boxes at the next Orwell

Yes, I bought it (from Young Robin if i remember correctly) for this version BUT on tracking th'album found the version of 'Let my love bring out the woman in you' and it blew me away!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure you already know BUT Jesse Butler was the lead singer with ZZ & Co. The LP version was him re-recording the orig 45 a couple of years later! Cheers Steve

Yes, the copy of Len Jewell on Mr Wood that was on JM's auction was from Paul Capon (originally owned by Charlie from London) The only other two i know of are owned by Barry Maleady & meself............that's why i was very keen to know if there were any others around as i've an obvious vested interest in it I always wondered whether Andy Dyson, Butch &/or Tim Brown had it but always forgot to ask them! btw Before i got my copy, i was offered the Paul Capon 45 a couple of years ago for £2000 (don't laugh, it's true!!) I believe the copy on JM's auction went for £364, which even for a relatively beat up copy is a bargain in my book! Wonder who won it?????? Anyone know???? Cheers Steve

A few more.............70's this time! Chee Chee & Peppy - So glad you came my way - fookin brill mid tempo from an impossibly rare late 70's LP The Diddy's - 'Can't remember the title cos i'm at work' (that's not the title by the way, i really can't remember the title, will post it later when i remember it!) - 'well off the wall' 70's dancer from another tough to find late 70's LP! Jesse Butler - Let my love bring out the woman in you - another tough LP and a way better version of the former Lonnie Youngblood Modern spin!!!!! Oh and Bobby Hutton 'Lend a hand' More later Cheers Steve

No takers on this boys and girls? C.B. just heard it via JM auction........so by default that must make it a toughie Anyone else????? Cheers Steve

How many folk have- Len Jewell - She went her way - Mr Wood It's not an out and out dancer but is a pretty lovely mid tempo crossover mover! The beat up copy on JM's auction was the third copy i knew about BUT i'm sure there's a few more out there - come on, hands up all who have it? Cheers Steve

A few from me- Lori Burton - Gonna make you love me - from her late 60's Mercury LP? Great old school Northern Soul (for want of a better description!) Or the fabulous Jazzy Bluesy Northern dancer from Della Reese - I got the blues - from her late 60's ABC LP? Or the brilliant Baby Washington Northern classic - I got it bad and that ain't good - from her Veep LP Will come back with some more later! Cheers Steve

Hi Steve.I'm not sure if you wanted stand alone venue's or secondry rooms.Here's my playlist (in no order)from the Backroom at bentinck welfare THE SUNSHINES/ ALVIN GREEN-LULU JUST CAN'T DO WITHOUT YOU/ HOWEEFEEL-CONTEMPO ENDLESS CONFUSION/TOM GREEN-ACTION GOOD THINGS/ FUTURE 2000-ROTA GONNA FIND A TRUE LOVE/ BOTTOM & CO-MOTOWN I WANT YOU/ EXPORTATIONS- VIR-RO DONT WAIT TOO LONG/ BERES HAMMOND-ARCO WERE TWO FOOLS IN LOVE/DYSONS FACES-DMG NOW YOU'RE GONE/ SMOKE-J BRIDGE THINK ABOUT IT GIRL/ SOLID SOLUTION-SILVER SPOON MEETING YOU WAS NO MISTAKE/ MOMENTS-STANG AM I IMPOSING/ MIXED EMOTIONS-ROCK-WAY THE HIDDEN SECRET/ JEFF SMITH & UNIVERSE-INCENTIVE THIS TIME/ DOUGLAS & LONERO-RCA IT TAKES LOVE/ DELILAH MOORE-BDE GOING OUT OF MY HEAD/ONCOMING TIMES-P-VINE TIME AINT GONNA DO ME NO FAVOURS/FREDRICK HYMESIII- FAB VEGAS FOLLOW THE RAINBOW/ THOMAS EAST-TRUE SOUL CAN YOU REMEMBER/ RHONDA DAVIS-DUKE GIRL STOP BEGGIN/ WALTER DAVIS- LA CADE IT AINT ME NO MORE/ LEE WILLIAMS-PM IM JUST A TEENAGER/ LEE WILLIAM- RAPDA JUST REMEMBER ME/ CREATIONS-GLODE THIS IS MY LAST GOODBYE/JOE WALKER-BOLD This is just a few of the tunes I played during my 8.00pm -10.45 spot in the backroom.Ta! Ray Hi Ray The thread was about 70's & Crossover '3rd scene' one room venues BUT this is EXACTLY the type of stuff we're talking about that gets played at these venues Some phenomenal tunes in that lot, it's hard where to start!!! The bentinck welfare is very priveliged to have tuneage like that played imho - bet you've got folks going up and down to the decks all the time throughout your spot as there's plenty of quality stuff that's off the beaten track, so to speak Cheers Steve

Aye, many a Willie tune gets played at The Orwell.................................I think 'Just another day' is well ripe for reactivation............total Yarmouth classic! Seany baby - what about that wonderful deep cut on 'Ode to my lady' LP?.........coincidentally, was only playing the LP yesterday night - had to sit down and listen to the whole thing - total classic Willie was THE man!!!! Cheers Steve

Sorry, gotta disagree with you there Jason! 'Steppin' is a killer track and the version of Bessie Banks ain't half bad either. Don't want folks to get the wrong impression - worth it for those two tracks alone (and no, i ain't got any for sale!) Cheers Steve

mmmmmmmmm that link looks familiar

I don't think anyone's claiming to have discovered it recently................most folks know of it's plays sporadically since the mid 70's at The Mecca etc...................it's more of a recent re-discovery which is what loads of 45's are still waiting for 'Re-discovery' Seany baby, i agree, wasn't hard to get yonks ago - think i've had two or three at less than a fiver BUT not for the last five years or so! I recently traded one at £125 so I reckon £75 will be a good price to bag one today! Cheers Steve

Have a Chuck Jackson - IOGTF (ABC demo same both sides)........although better to get an issue as the B side's pretty decent! Moments is LP only - don't think i've ever seen a boot 45 of this either? Cheers Steve
