  1. Was played off the original Stevie Wonder - Uptight album back in the late 60's, never released as a single in UK/USA at that time as far as I am aware. Played it a couple of years ago in Scunthorpe and the response was great by those never heard before, and those not for a long time.
  2. Congratulations Mike and the team, and to the regular posters/conributors who have provided me with an enormous amount of information about venues/artists/ records etc over the many years. Steve
  3. Some new releases from the Mecca. I Just Can't Say Goodbye - Philly Devotions You've Got To Try Harder - Ronnie Walker Sending My Best Wishes - Garland Green Heart Be Still - Jackie Moore (Album Track ) Steve
  4. Mine is identical except for one very small difference which is proberbly a huge one in value, the credit is spelt Wylia instead of Wylie. Steve
  5. Ordered a record case Sunday night and came yesterday morning so well pleased with service. Noticed internal error on website tonight when moving away from home page. Steve
  6. Can remember Pep playing it at The Winter Gardens and this was the first time I had heard it played, although it could easily have been played elsewhere.
  7. I still have the Valentino version on Gaiee with the red printed sleeve and used to have a 12" version by Carl Bean on US Motown. The Valentino version was played at Cleethorpes in the mid 70's assuming as a new release. Steve
  8. I'll be at 2nd show in Scunny Chalky, great venue but maybe ambitious putting two shows on. Steve
  9. A Love Supreme - Will Downing This Time Baby - Jackie Moore Come To Me - France Joli You're The One For Me - D Train Steve
  10. I taped a good few as well but together with my Mecca, Wigan, and many Cleethorpes tapes got slung in the dustbin many years ago when no longer having a tape player at home or in the car. . Now have an Hi-Fi with cassette player. Steve
  11. Was featured as a new release on Robbie Vincents Radio 1 Soul Show in 1977 and I got the shortened version on Kudo 7 Inch. Used to listen Robbie every Saturday night in those days and was hearing some brilliant new US releases at that time.
  12. Lots of fave singers, many already mentioned as expected, but to pick only 2 all time faves it would be BOBBY WOMACK and MILLIE JACKSON Steve
  13. Mine arrived today but only had a chance to play a couple of tracks so far - New York City - I'm Doing Fine Now- being one and worth the money alone.. Looks like another brilliant compiliation MR D.and quite rightly deserves to be in the Top 40 Steve
  14. Saw the documentary last night Paul, and having enjoyed it that much will watch again. I have eleven vinyl albums mostly bought on release or soon after, Resurrection (Underated ) on casette, and numerous CD's. I do hope new and younger fans delve into his wonderful back catalogue, a good start would be the compilation - Essential Bobby Womack - The Last Great Soul Man. In the very early seventies I bought many new release's on the basis of reviews in Blues and Soul, Womack, O'Jays, Spinners, Harold Melvin, Chi Lites, Stylistics, Bill Withers,early EWF, Invictus, Hot Wax , just to name a few. Forty years on and I am still discovering new stuff by many of the same artists and get that same thrill. Can't Stop A Man In Love off the brilliant Fact's Of Life album was also done as we all know by Reuben Howell. I think both were 1973 but is Bobby's version the original ? Steve
  15. Same here Paul. I knew of Bobby prior to 1972, but listening Harry Hippie that year prompted me to buy the album Understanding and I have been an avid collector ever since. A lot of people may have missed his 70's output due to the Northern Boom and others only familiar via his Northern/ Modern sides, but for me he has been one of the greatest soul singers of all time and The Bravest Man In The Universe is giving him the acclaim he so richly deserves. Steve
