this is a very good R&B screamer sort of uptempo mod R&B with obvious gospel lyrics and backing

Drummonds , went there myself yes there was a period of “smart dress only” door policy in the 80s on the Mod Scene I always put it down to keeping the “casuals’ out of clubs as they were the royal pain of a Mods life in the 80s until everyone went mellow and laid back towards the end of the decade with the on set of ecstasy but that’s another thread

You should have gone on a few Mod doos bud. We were worse with each other I have a different memory Mod corner at the 100 club (left of stage as you faced it ) was always a friendly place IMO I had been doing all nighters all over the country by 86 / 87 Bradford , keele, etc etc and was more of a skin I suppose by early 89 when I started going to 100 club i was a regular at the 100 club and absolutely loved it,. loads of mates from up north and wales used to get down great memories I keep getting asked by my pal Rich to get my arse down again.

Chris, Alan, Dave E are all still about and have always been , playing records and doing events I left London in the late 90s and moved back to Wales to be a record collecting hermit , which is what suits me.

I used to go to Kings Cross on a Sunday played records there a few times , I’m on this attached flyer on march 28th I imagine this was 1991 or 1992 great memories Chris is a nice bloke , so is Alan H , in fact all that crowd were great it was a great end to weekend you deffo should have given the 100 club a few more try’s

Mine is a virtue press see scan always loved the 45 Teardrops is nice aswel

And the fact that the bluesbusters version of this song was massive on the Belgium popcorn scene and was re issued by EMI in 1980

I don’t know the origins of the yellow Byron Lee credited 45 it did get a ep release as Keith and Ken on Kapp in France

Yes I had to pay a bit more that the price when released of the 2 records I posted I’m on their e mail list now so hopefully get on em early in future

Im impressed with kimberlite So far no re presses due to NS demand So far a proper ghetto label I love what they do ! any further info on this Canadian record label ? These 2 45s are in my opinion fantastic big shout to these people !

Yes fair play there is 5 copies strange !!!!!

larry williams - strange great record that has disappeared for sale online and sits in collections as its a fantastic moody soul / rnb record lydia marcell just another kind of fella is an amazing new orleans soul 45 I always guessed that this release was why Gerri Hall didn't get released on Sue as they are both Walter Quezergue latest releases (check nola release lists) and Im guessing Guy just had to picke one. there is only one or two nola usa release 45s known to exist of this rare record - I have heard a well known DJ in Stoke has a copy. And the Sue uk release has disappeared And both of these records have had little Northern Soul exposure regarding plays by DJs So my opinion is these two are woth keeping once you snag them

Tricky to find The Jaybirds The Right Kind for sale these days due to it being a fantastic uk only dancer

Yes but On Sotoplay imprint

That’s a decent tune, but the record I remember had loads of horn breaks and was a bit more uptempo I always thought it was a version of the blues standard but it could be a version of this listening to this Thanks for that
