Bill Withers track - very nice indeed. Reminds me of a guy who always used to say "Were you with us when Bill Withers was with us?"! It wasn't funny then, neither.

That'll be that famed Pete-S sense of humour, then!

JM has it booked at £1200 for the issue on Lime and £600 for the United Artist version

Gerri Granger - "Aint it funny" is flip to "Don't want your love letters" on Big Top - no idea of value.

E J and the Echoes -"You're gonna hurt" on Diamond Jim - £300

Temptations " Temptin' Temptations" without a doubt. Damn it Tone - you got there just before me! Perfect, all 12 tracks a delight. I had to buy the remastered CD version about 6/7 years ago as my original vinyl was so scratched and worn I couldn't play it

Don't know about your record but the group, if they are the same, are a Tex-Mex outfit who have been around since the late 50's and were originally known as David Coronado and the Latinaires but are now known as Little Joe y La Familia if still around. There are recordings for El Zarape, Good Luck and Buena Suerte probably in Spanish. There is also a recording on White Whale - "Crazy baby" from 1969

Clearly multi talented guy with lots of writing credits including "I'm a good girl" - Joyce Kennedy "Lonely old world" - Artistics "I got you babe" - Barbara Acklin "You never have to walk alone" - Dorothy Norwood "Trying to find a way home" - Esquires Also produced various artists and is the credited producer on Mel & Tim's "Backfield in motion" Was the vocalist on "Impossible" a track from Andre Williams "Whip your booty" album.

Female kinda doo wop group which included Sherri Taylor at one time who went on to record for Motown. Also recorded on Starmaker -"Poor little girl" Looks like only track on C & T Records

Not even "Walk in my shoes"? Love Levi Stubbs though.

I have to absolutely believe that there is not a single person on this planet ( ok, those that have heard it) who does not adore the voice of Gladys Knight. There may be some who would be less complimentary about some of her post Motown product- slushy ballady type things, but in my opinion she could sing the shipping forecast and it would still be soulful! Go ahead and restore my faith in human nature and agree that we all adore her. Agreed that there are probably plenty of others that would qualify including Marvin and yes it seems improbable that anybody could dislike him or his output, but you never know

Can't add to locked topic - so for those interested Sunday's play list was as follows : Ethics - I want my baby back Whispers - Needle in a haystack Themes - Bent out of shape Sharpees - I've got a secret Adventurers - I've caught you cheating Star-tels - Falling in love with you girl Heartbreakers - I've got to face it Skip Jackson - I'm on to you Lee Williams and the Symbols - I'ts everything about you (that I love) Visitors - My love is ready and waiting Arabians - (Please) take a chance on me Arabians - You upset me baby Marke Jackson - I'll never forget you girl Marke Jackson - Since you've been my girl Mitty Collier - My party Four Sonics - Easier said than done Jay Traynor - Up and over Buck Rogers Movement - Take it from me girl Twilights - You hurt me Embers - Watch out girl Big Don's Rebellion - It was true Johnny Bartel - ?

Can you fill in the detail of the Johnny Bartel track please. The modern track referred to on the previous post appeared to be a "rouge" track in the transmission around 9.00pm. Can somebody explain how/why the previous topic became locked.

1 Yus 2 Why is my spel chekcer not werkin.

Each track on Soul Club jukebox is superb, LP goes for a ton and is definitely worth it.

Got a couple of tracks on tape by the group - "Something to say" and "Sailin away". Anybody know anything about them?

Quite right, Tone, a counterfeit is a counterfeit, is a counterfeit, no matter on what basis it is conceived. Were we talking about pharmaceuticals, designer labels, DVD's, games etc we would understand the effect on those that have legal rights to the income from their products, but there seems to be some opinion that suggests that just because the income trail ie royalties, may be dead, or at least not intact, the product is fair game. The full weight of the law should fall on those that perpetrate the acts, although we can assume that it will not be at the top of priorities for those that are responsible for taking such action. On a connected matter, Tone perhaps you can impart your wisdom on those less knowledgable, as to how CD compilations are able to be put out, where the artists and labels concerned appear to have no common connection ie not part of a group of labels, or publishing group (unless that latter fact is not so apparent) What I am getting at here, and this may have been previously discussed, CD's from various sources, of which I currently have 3 in front of me( and you can probably guess the source) do not refer to having licenced the tracks from any particular source. In one case the source is referred to as being from "original 45's". Is this "legal" and if so, how?

There's obviously thousands of tracks with evocative and emotive lyrics about relationships etc within the scene, and the thread in the Free Base forum about child custody matters etc made me think, has there ever been a more bitter and damning indictment of a failed relationship than the lyrics of "After all " by Sam Dees. It is absolute genius if he wrote this song without experiencing the pain that oozes from the grooves - to be honest he is a genius anyhow, but the lines "We can't even be strangers again" and "You won't ever find another sucker like me" must touch a chord with all those who have sadly experienced such events. So what other lyrics capture the sadness and poigniancy of lost love? Don't want to appear too depressing - I might be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

You need to appreciate that KR's criteria in selecting this list is to do with being the "homes of large and dedicated groups of soul fans". Without that criteria Blackpool, Stafford, Yate, Cleethorpes would be included before some of those listed.

We'd have to have The Combinations - "I'm gonna make you love me" and Louis Paul "The change will do you good" for starters.

Nope! This guy has been in about 20 or so films - nothing spectacular and by the way he was born in 1969, so definitely not around to record "Too darn soulful"

Mark, You can get this and others from Amazon.

You could do it as a "Dummys guide to Northern soul" type thing and perhaps give some examples as to how the scene has developed over the past 5 decades. For example : From the Wheel era You've been cheating - The Impressions At the discotheque - Chubby Checker Whats wrong with me baby - The Invitations From the Mecca period Queen of Fools - Barbara Mills Tainted love - Gloria Jones If you ever walked out of my life - Dena Barnes From Wigan Get out - Harold Melvin Send him back - Pointer Sisters I'm coming home in the morning - Lou Pride From Stafford & the 100 Club I love her so much it hurts - The Majestics Lady in green - The Magnetics I'd think it over - Sam Fletcher From Keele and others You should o' held on - 7th Floor Aviators Packing up - Damon Fox Lonely for you baby - Sam Dees From the Ritz and others Gonna be a big thing - The Yum Yum Too late - Mandrill Man o man - Walter and the Admirations From Cleethorpes and others He who picks a rose - Jimmy Ruffin It's your voodoo working - Charles Sheffield This thing called love - Johnny Wyatt If your mate didn't get a feel for Northern after listening to this lot, then I don't know what would! Agree that a club would give him as good an idea as to what it's all about though!

No Northern intro compilation would be complete without the Steinways " You've been leading me on" amongst a zillion others!

Ladies and gentlemen I give you - Bobby Taylor, one of the most under-rated voices from the past. All most certainly overshadowed by the big guns at Motown, but definitely one of my favourite vocalists. "Does your mama know about me" has the most plaintive lyrics, you could almost cry! The web suggests he played a gig in the UK in 2006 - is this correct?

£7375 with one day to go. Who is going to get this for the price of a brand new Seat Ibiza 4door?
