Usual format...my memories fading but hey it was 25 years ago!
Seem to remember a Righteous brothers track....album track if memory serves correctly that Keb Darge used to play (think it was Keb..could possibly have been Guy but don't think so) at Top of The World Stafford.
...any ideas?

Done a little video to the live audio I recorded back in '85! Hope you enjoy!
I've borrowed a few images form here which I hope you don't mind guys. I'm eternally grateful honest!

Ditto on that Mark...hairs on the back of the neck stuff...was worth travelling to Stafford just to hear Keb play that one tune...then again Dave playing Pyramid had the same effect on me first time I heard it at Stafford too!
P.S. anyone got a Freddie Houston for sale that's not a Belgian popcorn pressing...always a bit scared to buy one off evilbay just in case!
Got it on VHS myself somewhere...recorded at the time of transmission. Like many things I must get round to putting on to DVD...will get around to it eventually!
I think the Bard would have approved of Northern Soul...it's usually those tunes with poetic thought provoking lyrics that get me up dancing, singing along as I do.
Rita and The Tiaras is another that comes to mind.
Is this the future when we are all too old to go to soul nights?
"Fancy popping round to my house to hear some quality tunes?....home help and meals on wheels will sort us put in the morning!"
Found it myself! originals - suspicion -
So where can I find this version? (what bootleg I assume?) never thought i'd be asking for a bootleg lol
The version we usually here is this
originals - suspicion -
Yep these were the first speeded up bootlegs as I remember, bought my scanned copy at Leicester Oddfellows allnighter when it was still a big play in the 80's for Rev Tony Clayton etc
Here's the scan of my mine!
OK the speeded up version we all hear (as per my scan)...which version is it speeded up from?... as the "normal" Original's version we all hear ain't this one speeded up.
I'm sure I saw a post saying there are 4 or 5 versions of Suspicion....can someone post up the normal speed version of the speeded up version please?
Bloody hell that was a tongue twister when you've had a few Friday night beers!
I think you are right, did a search myself and nothing found. Maybe make one yourself, but might seem a bit mean if a birthday present!
Got a few of his Northern cuts on vinyl (and mp3) "infatuation" and "what have I got now" being my fav's but not really enough to fill a CD.
Just as an aside are there a few Jades?
I gather this ain't the same band that did Lucky fellow, where it's at, hotter than fire etc etc
If so how many bands were called the Jades?
looks like I'll have to listen the last half hour again

Even listen again seems to buffer using winamp but OK using mediaplayer!
Same for me in 82....never knew them at the time...so exciting back then when all sounds were new at Leicester Oddfellows to my ears!
Funnily enough I've just booked Nov 2011 off work so I can attend the Australian Nationals in Melbourne (where I happen to have relatives too)
I went to last nationals in Melbourne in 2006 and it was so great to see a young crowd hearing the music for the first time!
Oz is like UK 30 years ago...bloody love it!
