You boys play some good stuff up there - might have to get mesen out later this year and pay a visit. Nice choices. Peter

I used to thumb if from Mablethorpe in my very early days - soon got mesen a car! It was ok thumbing it to the niter - looking forward to etc. It was another thumbing it back - tired, paranoid and on a bad come down. I remember thumbing it to Derby - probably assembly rooms. In the morning Chris King picked me and my mate up and dropped us in Nottingham. I didn't know who Chris was then other than a dj who had been on at the niter. Chris had a white mercedes sports car and bollocked me mate for slamming the doors. We felt so shit and down we ended up trying to sleep on some benches at Nottingham train station. We were "rescued" by three northern soul lads from the Meadows - hardly knew them really. One was Vernon - who has recenly joined SS. Anyway one of the lads took us back to his house and his mam put us up for the night and fed us - not much of an appetite but got summat down! We were back on our slighty merrier way the day after. They were good lads them three - they dropped off the niter scene pretty soon after that I think. Made lots of mates with the Nottingham lads and lasses - some of them are on here. We used to travel a bit with them on buses I seem to recall. Used to meet up in the King John pub by Broad Marsh station. I remember driving Shippo - Alan might have been there too, home from Mablethorpe one dark winters night. No heater in the car it was fecking freezing - had hot water bottles and blankets! Them were days. Peter

It has a very good groove indeed Richard. Maybe not too high on tempo but this is a great dance record with style. In my very humble opinion of course. Peter

Some cheap records in that lot - no wonder lots of quick sales and trolley dashes. Peter

Cheers Richard Some classic stuff. I seem to recall that my next door neighbour gave me this album and some motown albums about twenty years ago - I'll go and dust em off at some point. I think Wilson Pickett is a tad under rated. Peter

I've got that somwehere. Haven't a clue what's on it. Peter

Sorry - couldn't resist it. Played them so much I still know all the lyrics. Peter

I was well into the smooth philly sound of the Stylistics - bought a few of there albums in the 70's before I was into soul proper like. Of course I didn't know what the philly sound was back then. Wow! Them boys could sing. Peter

I agree. Fantastic record. Peter

Great record buddy. One of my favourites from back in the day. Peter

No. I agree with you mate. Good will and all that. Peter

Just a quick listen Matt - it's ok. Big Al for me though. Interesting cover though - I presume it's later? Peter

Blimey. Don't think I've heard of that at all Matt. Peter

Cool! How good are they. Peter

The 12 does go on a bit Dave - particularly the intro. Not a bad record though. Peter

Love Don't Come No Stronger - Jeff Perry. I suspect from a lyrics point of view this has to be a winner. Peter

Sheeat! What have France and Italy done? Peter

the 7 or 12 mate?

That's a great choice Mike. You could get a thousand different suggestions - I guess it's what sort of dancers the happy couple are. Peter

Probably a few people interested. You need to post a list in the Sales forum mate. Peter

And the boingor is best! Peter

I've not seen and dodgy pics. Peter

Nowt wrong with Star-tells record Mick. As we keep saying on tuther thread fantastic records don't have to cost a packet. Peter

Hi John From memory it was the one with bongs that was mainly played back in the day. Big, big record at one point - loved it then and still like it now.; Peter
