Heard a few years ago that Diana Ross - 'Chain Reaction' & (can't thing of his name at the moment) 'Never Met a Girl like You Before' were played at Northern nights!

Ken Boothe came out on: UK Island JA Studio One (red logo/lettering for original) JA Bra Absolutely superb Rocksteady tune! All with The Wailers 'I Need You' on the flip.

I'll dig my copy out. I need a pic to use as a CD cover so I'll scan it if it's a good un'. Thanks Dave, great mags by the way!

Original is no longer in my possession....but I can tell you it's NOT on the boot! Yay!! Looks like you deffo have a good un'.

Anyone got a pic? One of my absolute favourite groups! Every release is a winner!

No point really mate, they look identical to the real one! I've had both and the only way to tell is the scratched number TRC 162.....boot has the number further apart from the letters (about an inch away).

Obviously in Japan by the looks of him and the young girls walking past. I can't hear no sound though? What's the tune?

Thanks for that! Went straight on Gemm and bagged a copy!!!

We used to do a similar thing to Willie Mitchell's 'The Champion' & 'Secret Home'. It's old fashioned stomping! Looks good with the right 'stomp stomp' beat though!

Good boy Johnny! Personally I'd buy some big ticket items that I really desire,and have a nice D.J box....but with today's over inflated prices 16k won't go far. There are still some great 45s to be had at the cheaper end Johnny will be better off getting a collection of those together. Well done Johnny, and a nice bloke too...did you see the tears in his eyes when the other contestants fell by the wayside.

Love to hear some!

'Baby Call On Me' is a superb early Detroit dancer! Here's the 'Upfront' USA re-issue

Doubt it, Barnaby's a female (aint she?). Anyway, de-to, agree with your list, thing is, these white artists injected a bit of Motown into their sets (cause' it was the 'in' thing). It's really pop but captured the Wigan crowd. Personally, I love Ray Merrell's effort!

Anyone got a spare they wanna part with? Couldn't make it down there so need the 45 to add to the collection.

Yeah, you're right...sorry, Kent '86 Horace's '88 ...I did say virtually

Virtually the same year! And you've got the added bonus of the superb (never released before) Tommy Hunt - 'Pretty Part Of You'

Don't we all!! No worries mate. Unfortunately, I only have 2 of these: THE BEST OF - LONDON 1967 (fantastic album! and rare) YOU BETTER GET IT - ATLANTIC 1969 (although label say's 1965?) John

Would that be the socks n' sandals!!!

PM'd ya!

The one's I listed are all UK releases.

Some people have already mentioned the 'younger' and more enthusiastic crowds in the rest of Europe (Spain & Germany spring to mind). I know the scene in the USA is also 'younger'. Just makes you think that the scene is gonna survive (when we're all gone) outside the UK . Was actually talking to a couple of record shop owners yesterday, they claim the youngsters biggest wants are heavy metal & prog rock....but they are not prepared to pay high prices. They also tell me that rock n' roll has died a death..... makes you think....

ATLANTIC 5043 - THE NEW BOSS (1965) ATLANTIC 587009 - THE LOVE YOU SAVE (1966) ATLANTIC 587053 - IVE GOT TO DO A LITTLE BETTER (1967) LONDON 8334 - THE BEST OF (1967) (CONTAINS 'I Wanna Be Free') ATLANTIC 588079 - GREATEST HITS (1967) ATLANTIC 588104 LIVE AND LIVELY (1968) ATLANTIC 588118 - SOUL COUNTRY (1968) ATLANTIC 588130 - YOU BETTER GET IT (1969) ATLANTIC 588193 - BUYING A BOOK (1969) ATLANTIC 40239 - FROM THE ROOTS CAME THE RAPPER (1972) MERCURY 6338093 - I GOTCHA (1972)

Thanks for thinking of us Ohio, I have a copy now....but will still watch the one on ebay to see what it fetches.

Thanks

Not the same but a similar type of thing, I recently picked up 'Motown: The Golden Years' by Bill Dahl...it's a great book featuring all the Motown artists with great 60's photos. Back section is dedicated to the 'unknown' artists. There's a colour section with photos by Weldon A. McDougal III who many know as one of the 'Harthon' production team. He worked with Motown artists during the late 60's/early 70's. The one downside to it is the cover is awful (imo)...instead of using some stunning 60's pictures...they've opted for a few of McDougals (casual) 70's pics. If anyone's interested, the book is published by 'Krause Publications' (www.krause.com)
