  1. There is actual 'singing' on 'Walk In The Night'. Beautifully soft femme vocals, singing along with the sax. Sean
  2. And you'd pay even more for a British copy! Great little tune - PITCHES favourite! Sean
  3. Ujima - I'm Not Ready - EPIC Carl Hall - What About Me - CBS Natural Four - I Thought You Were Mine - ABC Alice Clark - You Hit Me - WB Theres Thousands of 'em! Sean
  4. Big Fan of James Hunter, Ted. Great CD's recorded with real musicians and a very authentic sound. Played a couple of his tracks in my Yarmouth 'Sunday Lunch' set a year or two ago and had quite a few enquiries! Think he's had more success in the States than here on home turf. Good call mate. Sean
  5. Just finished mine. 20 odd Soul tracks. Most of my Desert Island things would be Ballads, I guess, so very few out and out 'dancers' in there. Reckon you'll need a quiet night in, with a very tall glass... something chilled... ...but FFS hide the razor blades. Hope to have 'em all out next week. Sean
  6. I think that's true of GINU, but pretty sure I've got the "Didn't We" side as a WD on Vinyl, Steve. Both sides, just a 'bit too much sugar' for me! Sean
  7. Old Thorne 'early hours' spin.
  8. Happens to the best (and worst) of us Shaun. Sean
  9. Not been able to listen to any of the CD's yet. But the vibe is good, so looks as if I have a treat or two in store! Hope to have mine done before the weekend. Can't get to my LP's right now, so looks like being 45's only. Thanks for being patient, all. (Especially you, Kirsty - A late Birfdi pressie comin' up soon!). Sean
  10. Yet I'd have guessed it was the other way around. The "I Want To Give You My Everything" side being the US 'hit' side (Mercury 73080) ... flipped soon after, in the UK, after UK club action on the "Sweet Happiness" side. Nice double sider either way! Sean
  11. When I was a lad I saw Roy C there (he sang 'Shotgun Wedding' three times) and the Drifters (think it was the Invitations really ) around 70 / 71. I seem to recall that Billy Stewart had once appeared there (but a year or two before my time). Legendary venue around my part of the world and happy, but distant, memories. Sean
  12. You're right Roger. Soon as I heard the line "I Messed Up" I jumped on that track, but you're dead right mate, that aint it! Sean
  13. I have the UK issue (Not for sale) but beware of lookalike Black / Silver Parlophone 'centreless' Bootlegs in your quest. Sean
  14. Boo! Pity that Sebastian - Sounds like it could be him to me. Am sure I know this. Won't be able to get to my records / CD's for a few days. Looks of this thread, its an indemander in the making! No bad thing for a Southern tune! Sean
  15. If my memory serves me right - I'd need to check to verify 100% - this could be J Blackfoot "I Messed Up" from the mid 90's 'Reality' CD. Don't think it got a vinyl release. Just back from Memphis (where this will have been recorded - of course) or I'd have seen the thread sooner! I'll have a dig through before the weekend - once I'm over the Jet Lag - to clarify! Cheers Sean
  16. Thank you. I love it too and would urge everyone on SS to obtain a copy. IMO - She the lady! Sean
  17. I have (or have had) BOTH Prince Ellis 45's on Ellis. "Love Can Make Your Mind Go Wild" being my favourite, a nice and lazy Caribbean kinda thing,the other 45 "I'm Gonna Love You" a pretty nifty Crossoverish dancer! Need to check the collection, but I think LCMYMGW went some years ago. Sean
  18. Mouth Watering, Paul! Sean
  19. In that case, try TATS (Foolish Fool on here). He has a copy and just may sell if you ask him reeeeeeeeal nice! If he don't reply, it's cos he' away for a while, after tomorrow. Sean
  20. Really? Better than a Johnny Nelson Rematch?
  21. Richard Broughton - certainly had some records that lad! BIG collector from Nottingham back in the day. Not seen him for a few years but always a pleasure when I do. Top guy, despite his etching habit - (didn't we all used to do it). Sean
  22. I have a Dutch Chubby Checker "At the Discotheque" in Orange & Black with 'that' face on it, Sebastian. They've obviously totally 'redrawn' the label artwork in Europe and the artist has taken a bit of 'creative license' with his interpretation! I reckon it's a Dutch Post Impressionist, most probably a Van Gogh. As you can see, he's cut the young lasses ear off!
  23. Thanks Martin. Excellent plug for the Millie Jackson CD. Certainly Millie is one of THE great voices in Soul Music and it was felt that this compilation was long overdue, particularly as Millie is so highly regarded for her 'deeper' works and her 'Dancefloor' material virtually ignored in comparison. I've said it before on here, but... Every home should have one! Cheers Sean
  24. Previously unreleased track only available on the Kent "Let's Crossover Again" CD, Martin. Sean
  25. Triffic flipside on this 45 in "What You Gonna Do" an old PITCHES fave of mine! Topside aint bad either - Very Martha Reeves! Sean
