I loved that place as well and they had great clothes as well in there I bet you had a few of these

Where you behind the Arndale Centre, cos I used to dig at that stall and in Yanks

Dave As you know Howard really well I wondered if you could ask him about the Four Tracks on Mandigo as I have a sneaky suspicion that he may have well been involved (arranged is H. Collins) and the label was from Toledo I have been doing some digging about the group (which I can find nothing about) and this is the only connection I can find, it would be great to clarify

Merry Christmas for this thread to everyone

It's a USA "Stepper" as per the beginning of this thread

Please remember that the "original ask" on this thread as not just about the two step sub genres that keep coming up, but "smooth, laidback and funky sound I'm looking for" I don't think it's just about BPM's, it's about "Scenes". The scenes as far as I know (but I am old and can just about manage 2 steps) are the Two Step (morphed from the jazz funk) "scene" that appeared in the late 70's and early 80's (In the UK and particularly in the Midlands, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham to name a few, but Colin Curtis would fill you in more and he's even older than me!!!) The London "Scene" in the mid 80's +, that has been often referred to on this thread and the "Steppers Scene" in the USA. There of course is the Two Step "Scene" on the "Northern Soul Scene", which consists of 60's to present day tunes of a slower beat

Robb I came across this thread and have being doing some digging and wondered if the Arranger H. Collins was the Howard Collins who was involved with Chanson (Majestics, Unlimited Four) who had a branch herePO Box 3032 Toledo, Ohio 43607

One for the "Rock City" Nottingham lot
