Heard this in dodgy cellar bar in London last night, great tune, never heard it before. In fact I heard quite a few I hadnt heard before. Nice tune this one!! Alan

So many great tracks mentioned on this thread, definitely the Velvelettes best tune - IMO of course!! The Temps version of Save My Love For A Rainy Day also cracking tune. I feel another Motown CD coming on!! Alan

Peter, this thread is a real headache-giver mate!!!! Maybe swap Hank Jacobs for Earl Wright-Thumb A Ride though. Going for the paracetamol now! Alan

Peter, Love them all, but think maybe Williams & Watson - Too Late ought to be there? Alan

I've got a copy for sale at £30. Think thats about right. Alan

Willie Mitchell also did good version of Barefootin' - nice instrumental. Alan

Like it Tone!! Didnt go to many youth clubs round our way - pretty unfriendly places, did go to Top Rank, Reading, Saturday mornings though - much cooler than Sat morning pictures. Big tunes mostly Motown, lot of reggae, Wet Dream, Big 5 always popular with the 12 year olds. Fave reggae record still from those days is Pat Kelly - How Long Will It Take. Alan

Agreed on that Pete. Funny thing is i'm surprised how few copies of the Hamilton Bohannon turn up in old Wigan collections, or perhaps i've just passed them by? Do remember the whole place shaking to these tunes back then - happy days!!

Just had a thought mate - i think Cochise was a bigger stomper instrumental bit before the Champion!!!!!! Obvious which one has stood the test of time though. Alan

Mark, it was immense! About the same time as The Brothers-Are You Ready For This, another monster instrumental at that time was Hamilton Bohannon - Foot Stomping Music - never heard it since I dont think. Alan

One of my favourite records ever, cant afford a copy, but absolutely the dogs whatsits IMO. Alan

One record I always wanted but never found cheap enough for me was Liz Christian - Suddenly You Find Love - CBS. Sold 99% of my collection when bankrupt, said only 2 records would start me collecting again, one being the Liz Christian, the other that Len Barry LP. Got the L.C. on Cbs demo 2 weeks ago, so looks like i'm back in the game, only in a small way of course?! Alan

Did the Village Soul compilation come out on vinyl?? Would like a copy if it did, any offers/info? Alan

Mark, Sold one on here few weeks ago, about £15 I think. Alan

I was given the Village Soul CD couple of weeks ago - been playing non-stop. One of the best compilations I've ever heard - highly recommended. Alan

A FEW PRICE REDUCTIONS................

Liz Christian - Suddenly You Find Love - CBS Alan

Badly miss Paul Guntrip from Aylesbury, Jacko from Newbury, RIP both. Had some of the funniest days, nights, weekends with these guys. Alan

COL, Last Sundays backdrops & other dancefloor acrobatics were a sight to behold. Dont forget to iron the 16 button high waisters to go with the tank top!! See you at Bisley, AL.

Has to be Big Maybelle - Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me, have driven along blubbing while its playing in car!! Northern -wise - William Bell - Happy, puts me close to tears. Alan

Best 30p I ever spent - Inspirations -Touch me Hold Me Kiss Me - UK Polydor, about 1978, best 5p purchase was Len Jewell - Betting On Love - fontana, but that was 1975!! Alan
