  1. I'm usually the embarrassed one stood there trying to jump start my memory as someone recalls past events that I was part of when all I can think of is "Who the hell are you!" Worse when current friends are waiting to be introduced and I can't, other than to say "This is someone I may have known at some time in the past". By the way, If you're reading this and have been speaking to me recently about long past times - I don't mean you obviously . There are some old friends in my head that I'd love to run into, some are even alive, but I never see them ever. Do you think I've just made them up? Expect to see me wandering around in slippers soon.

    Imperial records 1968. There's a battered one on ebay at the moment £9.99, but clean ones tend to go through for about £20 I think.
  3. I'm hoping yellow Epic with ZSP138548-1B is orig? Break it to me gently.
  4. Looking forward to tuning in Mark. We had a great night last night, perfect evening to follow up relaxing with a glass to your tunes. Thanks mate
  5. Thought it was your 50th this year Paul!!? My most treasured possession . . . . . . Garry Churm - He's my biatch
  6. Not been inside for decades Mandy, is the dancefloor (upstairs) still in place? I know the Bali downstairs has gone, no call for revolving floors these days. BTW Mandy, I do have some pictures somewhere from '76 / '77, I'll try to find 'em out. Attic lads would be happy to have some tickets, most of us cut our teeth there before going home to practice dancing in our bedrooms!
  7. Yeh, that's the one I was thinking of, me and my little memory. Remember the thread better than the programme!
  8. So many of these revealing looks it's hard to be bothered by anything reported anymore. Had to smile at a few things (could've easily mis-heard any of these by the way). Chris Hill going to Cleethorpes "disguised", why?? I think it was also Hill (who I do think deserves respect) said "It was like a northern working mens club, men on one side of the room and women on the other" . Grew up in miners welfares, didn't see many women in them at any side of the room (apart from Sat night, then it wasn't a gender division). The idea of a nighter resembling a school disco is funny, seem to recall quite a sense of early liberty and equality. About as useful as the previous channel 4 gaf, "They didn't let me into Wigan because I was black ". Would've thought Zoe could've asked Norman Cook about all that. Good music clips though. Nat as good as Little-Stevie's short with those handsome supporting actor types
  9. For reasons outside of my consciousness, don't know why , but for over 30 years Linda and The Funky Boys - Climbing The Steps Of Love, has been buzzing around my head whenever it empties of daily thoughts. Which makes me think. . . . . . . what label is this on prior to the wonderful Spark Northern Soul! Monday morning preacher Davies would cry, everybody here is Jesus's child . . .. . PLEASE TELL THE VOICES TO STOP NOW!
  10. Sorry only window shopping, but out of curiosity has the Tony Middleton got Already Satisfied on flip, I've enjoyed playing that out a few times but never hear it mentioned. I rate it.
  11. Was telling Cunnie how much I was liking Angel at Qube recently. "You bloody northern lads, we've been playing that for 3 years"! Great sound that fits within the last 10 certainly, and would never want to argue with Cunnies taste, not with that tongue.
  12. Looking forward to tuning in Mark, be seeing you Friday at Burton.
  13. Within this broad church of NS, does this get any plays, just curious because of obvious link. Unusual sound that grows on me.
  14. They do listen sometimes. Couple of months ago I had 6 items removed as someone complained that I'd put I accept cash at payers risk, alongside usual paypal and cheque. 100% positive feedback, no warning, no notice, all with bids on. Happy to add to complaints with this though, Dean
  15. Can you say anything about its recent history, where did you find the tough find?
  16. Ridiculous coincidence, just seen this finishing in a few minutes on ebay, doesn't look like condition to buy but there is one there.
  17. Ken was tha a fiver for a SPIRIT label or Motown. Don't think the Spirit should be that difficult just don't see them.
  18. With a cross-reference to the Kings Go Forth thread on here and Danny Hernandez. Been playing The Ones "Happy Day" at our Attic night, also gave it a spin at the last Vault of Soul, at Qube Sheffield. Sounds great out on the floors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Febspj8GV4 (think you'll have to copy/paste into your browser) Question is: I believe this sold considerable numbers on local Detroit label SPIRIT before being taken up by Motown, just don't see them around. John Manship had one on his list a couple of months ago when I was trying to track down a few for friends, but turned out to be a listing error (anyhow thanks for the Ex Motown copy John, much appreciated and great value). Are there plenty around and I'm just not seeing them? "Happy Day" is the flip of this: By the way KevH, just picked up another M- copy on Motown if you want to do a swap deal for that battered copy. Dean
  19. Same song but tone and tempo (no pun intended) different. However, possible it could be such a poor reproduction (or purposely so?) making it sound so different. Not much information forthcoming so I am presuming it isn't genuinely The Tempos - making the possibility of a poor quality cover more of a possibility. Thanks for response. Anybody know if The Fabulous Jades was ever covered as Tempos well back in someone elses day? Dean
  20. just wanted to bump this as no information as yet. I'll try to get a sound clip sorted (Steve L are you in tomorrow?) Tempos - I'll Be So happy ? ? ? Ring any bells anywhere?
  21. Decades ago I purchased what we referred to as an EMI disc from a local dj, Eric Hetherington, used to DJ at Dukeries Soul Club, was a mate of Phil Kingswood I think. One side of this EMI is a track by The Tempos, I'll Be So Happy. 35 years later I've still never heard or seen one, of course it could be a cover but I don't think it is. Sound quality is dreadful (as you'd expect) but it's a thumpin' oldie track. Sorry can't post a sound clip. Anyone shed any light? Just for interest the other side of the EMI is Lesley Gore - Just Can't Get Enough of You, just to give you a flavour of the time. Thanks, Dean.
  22. The Superiors - What Would I Do, yellow Verve DJ. Are these legit or are only light blue dj copy legit? Thanks Dean.
  23. public response rather than private Mark, just hearing 12 Red Roses, missed first half hour but got on it since then. Great choices tonight, couple unknown to me. Do you hire 'em out?? Keep on Mark, best wishes, Dean (too sick for lifeline!)
