Staples to listen to. Arthur Miles to dance to. AWOL & Kenny Thomas to ignore I suppose. One thing to remember though is all these covers generate revenue for the writers, producers & original artists so not a bad thing.

If anyone else said that I'd think they were lying but as it's you Simon ......

Puerto Rican tranny, disco Northern, How is Ian Think you should be thanking me that it's still so exclusive then Ian as you left it in the CD deck & I put it back in't case for you when you vanished. Must admit it was bloody good but did you hear the Dimitri mix of the O Jays I followed it with?

Thanks Gareth Was chatting with Soul Sam (hark at me namedropping !) last night at Soul Purpose about this & he now plays it off the Japanese album you mentioned above. Reason I was wondering is he asked me if I could get him a copy of the 12" as he knew nothing about it or if I would sell him mine then he remembered selling me a copy of the hissy 7" several years ago. Funny how things come full circle sometimes. Guess the only way not to own it is the original 7" version. Wonder how many times that gets said on here

Just had the 12" of Otis Clay - The Only Way Is Up drop through my door yesterday as didn't fancy wasting my money on another Echo 7" copy that was cueburned to hell & vastly overpriced & oh the joy when I played it. The sound quality was amazing, no hiss in the first few seconds & it played so loud & clear I could hear things that I didn't realise were there. Was like listening to a different record & I had to play it a few times just to check that it wasn't actually rerecorded. Think it must have been took off the original mastertape as it looks a legit copy as all the licenseing info is on there. It's on Harmless records & has "Life Styles" & "Coldcut" wrote on the label + 2 other tracks I Want You Back - Bobby Shad & The Long Wait - Morton Stevens. Thing I was wondering though is was this took from a film soundtrack & if so what film & when?

Brilliant

But you have said that Ian How about "I won't play Jean Carn Mart"......

I've said that & it is

Montclairs - Hung Up similar as well. Longer on UK Contempo.

But my name's not 'Oldsoulman' is it Russ Anyway if anyone's got any of the above they're willing to part with drop us a PM please.

Cheers Russ. Bit steep but Shelley's paying for it for my 50th so might just have to go for it. Hmmm saw the Lee Jeffries copy a bit back & thought the same. About double what it's worth IMO.

Think this is what you were looking for Simon. How cool is that. You play Don Gardner & low & behold there he is singing it virtually live on stage. Now where's that 'future' thread gone.

Drooling. Some great stuff there & somehow I knew he'd be from France. Seems every copy of Sir - Prize is in France apart from mine. Bragging, you bet I am

Right then. My comment wasn't a rant at so called DJ's on the Soul scene ( note not just Northern ). Far from it but I just think that most of the folks on the Soul scene are'nt DJ's but are passionate collectors who play records to varying audiences & often get little or no credit for it & I'm full of praise for each & every one of them especially the one's who do it for the love of the music. Just to try to make my point let's see what folks would do if the following scenario occured (happened to me recently & if you were there you'll know what I did). Both decks go down but there's 2 CD decks that you can use. 1, you chat to the crowd & get a bit of banter going & try your best to entertain them. 2, you get a mate to run down to the car & grab a couple of CD's & explain what's happened & play some music off them until things are put right. 3, you stand there like a tool saying & doing nothing as you're a vinyl collector & wouldn't ever play a CD. Hell they're not my decks so it's not my problem. Now who is the DJ? 1, 2 or 3. See my comment above Nev & the video below, might throw a bit of light on what I'm on about. PS you ain't a dj as you didn't play any of my requests at Morecambe You can DJ at my wedding Simon (am I still the only person who books you in the UK ) & so can Kerri Chandler. 1 min 30 secs in. How's about that then Guy's & Gal's

Very few DJ's on the Soul scene, just a load of collectors who play music they like.

Few wants, some easy, some not so but see how we go. Nicky Newarkers - Woman (seen the copy on the bay). Sideshow - Sexy Lady. Tyrone Thomas - You're Hardly Gone. Al 'Alonso' Wilson - Love You Girl. Jack Sass Band - Where Is The Love. & finally an easy one Teddy Pendergrass - I Don't Love You Any More. PM me with any info & thanks for looking. Mart...

Might laugh Dave but it's a very rare record & have seen it go for more & have also heard worse pop/disco records played out. https://www.youtube.c...h?v=7I7TTvcvnAI Anyway is this a decoy to stop us seeing the other bits (Solid Gold Revue, Blair, Mojoba etc) Notice I didn't mention the Arnie Love.... Dam foiled again

Forget the James Fountain. Have you seen some of the other stuff the guy's selling Time for the hammer & the piggy bank to meet me thinks

No need to close the thread as the original topic was interesting but can you ALL keep on topic.

& records don't jump do they Not even going to bother commenting on the sound quality comment....

No problem Rob. Just glad to put a few of you onto it while it's still cheap. Gonna give it some hammer in the Modern room at the Bridlington weekender as it went down a storm at Morecambe for me & more so for Dodger. Big question is though will you be brave enough to play it in the Northern room

Seems some of you do listen then. Were around a dozen of these around in the usual places like gemm, discogs & the bay when I posted this on here, all for under £20 & now they're all gone.

Thanks for the post Andy. Makes modding on here so worthwhile when story's like this get posted
