Yep great doubler sider...............B side is The Sharpees-Just To Please You One-Derful Cheers Martyn

Like this thread so thought I'd throw another 3 up............. The Sharpees-Tired Of Being Lonely One-Derful..........great underplayed oldie. O.V.Wright-Into Something (Can't Shake Loose) Hi.........brilliant 70t's dancer. Josephine Taylor-Good Lovin' Mar-V-Lus.........what a voice for a few quid. Cheers Martyn

Paul Lend me some money & I'll dance with you.........as long as I don't have to give it back :whistling: Cheers Martyn

Rich First time I've played it out & was a bit worried it might be a little "too" Latin but seem to go down well,plenty on the floor to it Cheers Martyn

Just had a listen to Millie, new to me..........tune!! Cheers Martyn

Bunny Sigler-Sunny Sunday Parkway........sounds as good as any four figure tunes when played out. Millie Jackson-Breakaway Spring........great version. Patti LaBelle-Teach Me Tonight Epic.........if you like Latin meets soul this is for you. Difficult to pick only 3.........103 would have been easier Cheers Martyn

Just heard, such sad news.One the gentlemen of the scene. Lynn & my thought's are with his family & friends at this difficult time.R.I.P Gary Sincerely Martyn & Lynn

If you'd have been at Hotwax on the last Bank Holiday you'd change your mind about R n B? A bit of a tired oldies bias main room & alt room full of young 20/30 somethings giving it loads. Great up-tempo R n B & Latin been danced to by people with none of our political baggage just out for a great time listening to great music............as a bit of dancer yourself (I use the term loosely of course ) it would have blown you away.......did me. So less of the dissin of the R n B boys...........it's the future:thumbup: Cheers Martyn

Simon It has been tried I think in the past???? Reading what people want all they have to do is go to The Wilton they've been covering all those bases (maybe not Rockabilly:D) in one room for 17+ years. Cheers Martyn

So sad...........but so true My choice would be to have a room that had no dj's booked & list of half hour spots & you turn up put your name next to a time & play a few. What a mix of tunes you'd get.............only restriction off original vinyl. Would the room be taken over by one type of music or another do you think????? Cheers Martyn

Ian I was at Hotwax allnighter in Leeds on Sunday, the main rooms was oldies based & a bit flat but upstairs was the R n B room which was buzzing with loads of 20/30 somethings giving it loads. They were just out to have a good time, listening to some brilliant tunes It was the first time in awhile I'd thought the scene might survive in this country after us, they didn't seem to have the political baggage we do???? Made me feel we've lost a little of that spark. Cheers Martyn

The reason I answered your thread was the fact you called the music I was going out listening to most weekends "Shit", I didn't slag your part of the scene off. I can with a serious face tell you the new stuff is northern soul. I've enough time & miles in to have an informed position & some of the new stuff is as easily as good as the old stuff..........equally some of it is crap as some of the old stuff was crap.........don't forget there was crap stuff played in the old days as well. I think you are confusing personal choice with good or bad music??So if you've got all the music you need for night's you might as well turn up with a laptop with all the files on do away with the dj. As you say if you had to come into my world you would say "shove it" if I was having to join your world & travel the length of the country to hear sounds I loved when I 18/20 I'd be in your gang & say "shove it" You are saying the only way forward is to go back but I want to keep the ethos that was drilled into me as a wet behind the ear young soulie by the older ones that you listen to new sounds & make up my own mind if I liked them or not, as one fades there's always a new on the horizon. I still get that feeling & you don't so that will always be a difference of opion between us with neither of us been right or wrong. The attendance issue isn't just down to musical tastes it's many folded, this has come to light during this thread.If the scene was to stop finding new tunes I would retire disgracefully to my armchair & remote. Cheers Martyn

Carms Lots of valid points, some very personal some spot on. The one that surprised me was the way you just dismiss the nighter scene as if it was to fold tomorrow it wouldn't impact on your life? I know how passionate you are about your music & how giddy & excited you get when you hear something new that blows you away........a good share of those will have been broken on the nighter scene so are you willing to risk that with a shrug of your shoulders & a "So What"??? I was at Hotwax last night seeing a load of young kids (lots in there 20t's) having an absolute ball, it's the first time in a long while I thought the scene will survive over here after we are all long gone. But they aren't going to want a cozy little club night scene, they'll want something with a bit of kudos (as we did). So if we are thinking about leaving a legacy (we might not be thinking of leaving one I don't know???) we need to find away to keep the nighter scene moving forward. Or I think we should keep nighters because I like them & I'll sulk if they stop Cheers Martyn

Ted Ford-You're Gonna Need Me SS7

Steve Sounds about right to me...............by the way what was Susan Boyle like in bed Cheers Martyn

I was stood in alternate room last week with a well respected dj & collector & a forgotten oldie which had a few plays at Wigan but never went massive was played & he didn't know it? So depending which one of us you talked to was wether it was a know or unknown??? So a set to one person might be unkowns & as you say boring but to another person it might be the best set of the night as they know them..........the dj can't win. Cheers Martyn

Never given this a thought until seeing this thread? Didn't miss many weeks between 77 to mid 80 plus oldies nights.Does going up to Carlisle (on the York coach) count when it was shut to add more nicotine to the walls sorry I mean redecorate So 150ish maybe more..........bloody hell. Did stop going when live acts were on, always thought they ruined a good nighter............still do come to think of it? Does anyone have the same problem as me? When I get with some of old mates & we start swapping old Casino stories I can always remember the incidents but I feel as if they all happened in one night???? Maybe I only went once Happy days........I think. Cheers Martyn

So you love the sounds that have packed the floors from all our great clubs such as The Wheel,The Torch,Wigan,Yate,The Mecca & Stafford (not quite sure were your cut off point is for when the shit started)...............emmm I have one slight problem with your view & it is they were all clubs that played & broke new sounds. So if you had applied your rules in the past you wouldn't have any oldies to do your packed nighters with? So if any new Stafford type 60t's are unearthed you'll have them to add to the oldies scene...........why what's wrong with the 60t's type tunes from Wigan or The Mecca. What's wrong with the beat ballads,Latin,70t's/80t's Stafford championed Why are tunes played now that wasn't accepted 15 years ago is that the scene is permanently evolving.From the outset driven by people wanting to move the boundries,seeing if they could eek out some different facet of dance music that might broaden our outlooks & enjoyment.In your view did the Mecca ruin the scene by changing the musical style played or did it make it a far richer place then before they were played???? I'm obviously not one of your "most people" you speek for & I've been getting it terribly wrong each weekend going out in search of hearing new sounds that get me all giddy & excited just like when I was going to Wigan to hear the next new big sound. Cheers Martyn

In the late 70t's picked a Jackie Wilson-It Only Happens When I Look At You Brunswick Demo 20p from Sheridan's second hand record shop in Hull..........still has the 20p written on the label in pencil.

You seem to have made some sweeping statements on the allnighter scene but never ventured above Watford.............Can I make the same ill informed statements about the London scene..........suppose I can as I was at The 100 Club recently been blown away by some of the up-tempo funky type stuff they played..............that I didn't know & danced to???? Cheers Martyn

Simon I think you might have missed one of the longest running nighters that has carried the torch for up front music for 17 years..........yes you guessed it The Wilton!! Cheers Martyn
