  1. Possibly too poppy for some Pete, I like it and the horns are perfect Northern Soul style. If I knew how to do sound files i'd stick it on. Like I said, there was some interesting bits in those boxes (including Nappy Brown - London American 1958), and he say's there's still more up there! He used to go to a lot of auctions out in the sticks and would buy boxes of records for peanuts, rumage through them and pick out those he wanted on his juke box that sits in his living room, the rest he stuck up in the loft.
  2. Makes you wonder how many Northern Soul 'stars' are cutting it as Motown/Stax tribute acts. Saw a group in Spain couple of years back calling themselves 'The Majestics'. They basically did Motown stuff...Four Tops, Temps, Contours etc and they were all young guys except for the lead singer, he was in his late 50's. He was introduced as Richard Taylor.
  3. Hi Paul, Want the other one by the Prophets on Jubilee if you have it (can't remember the title now). Sorry about Friday, firstly I got told that it was cancelled so made other plans. Then Ian text me the new venue, by this time Perry had bailed out, Cotty never returned my call and Ian could'nt go! Then to top it off, my missus got taken to hospital, the 2 teenage daughters were out so I was home alone with my 16 month old baby! John
  4. Forgot to say, the flip 'Was On A Night Like This' is a great mid-tempo track that some might prefer.
  5. My girlfriend's dad's been clearing his loft and gave me 3 box full of old UK 45's to look through and keep what I wanted. Found loads of great soul and general 60's beat unknowns. Not sure where this 45 fits in but it's a nice blue eyed up-tempo dancer with Northern Soul horns....is it known? Has it been played? I've certainly never heard of the group before. It's a 1967 shapiro Bernstein Polydor release. The Urchins - I Made Her That Way - Polydor (1967)
  6. Graham Norton just introduced a 'Temptations' tribute act on the show with, 'Nate Evans'!! Must admit he's about that age and "All the way from L.A".
  7. 2. shoeless...mmmmm., Sugar Pie Desanto?

  9. Don't waste your time and cash on any of these boots, just get the UK original that came out a few years back on Tamla Motown!
  10. Try this https://www.reggaehitthetown.com/
  11. There is NO 70's version, there were about 3 different takes ALL cut in the 1960's!!! The 70's RELEASE is one of the 60's takes.
  12. £2.50!!!! Bloody bargain that! I paid £25 off Ian Clark about 4 years ago. I reckon that's about right....if there are any left!
  13. Hi Baz! Did the Summits come through ok? John
  14. Been D.Jing at soul events in King's Lynn since year dot. D.J'd at a Motown night put together by an African guy I'd met recently, the night went down a storm. What do you know, he books another night and 'forgets' to ask me to D.J.....subsequently he'd got some bloke from Kent to come 200 miles and play Motown OFF A F*****G LAPTOP!
  15. He's come a long way, what with Harrods and all that....
  16. The US mail service have finished doing surface mail.
  17. Flicking through the TV mag, spotted Morris Chestnut as one of the stars in 'Ladder 49', a film on BBC1 tonight 10.35pm.....not sure if this has been mentioned on here before but is it our man? I've seen the film ages ago but can't remember seeing his name (or an ageing blackman) in the film??? Also,one of the 'Hairy Bikers' (on last night)...apparently a fan of Northern Soul.
  18. Just the one I think Ken, wearing a green dress on the cover. L.p is called 'For The First Time'.
