My offering tonight is the Flip to Gene Chandler--Mr Big Shot.I have a very well used Stars design original copy and often play this side straight after the top side stormer.This is a nice bit of Steady Northern called--I Hate To Be The One To say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65JG8Irhhl4

Ok Mate Shame about 27th that Date we will be at Inner Soul sheffield our fave yorkshire night,Then planning to be at the Brighouse Reposessed night on Jan 2nd. Making it my mission to see you in the new year

If it gets off the ground Martyn let me know where it is sounds right up my street,as long as its not just another Frank Wilson night

Here is mine for today.After watching the Northern Soul Film i loved the soundtrack all classics and all great.But all of them although great were very familiar and heard out regularly.But one of them got under my skin all over again.I turned to our lass and said i used to own this one but let it go and now i just have to get it back.I managed to do just that when a couple of days ago i again became a proud owner of this masterpiece of Northern Soul from Towanda Barnes.I used to be able to dance to it many years ago.Now i can just about cope with the aid of copious amounts of Voltarol,but that voice just cuts through me big time, YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED A LOVE THAT WOULD LAST FOREVER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx3mVezbNmo

JUST a Fantastic record

Well they all generated a smile with me mate you made some good purchases there.Out of that lot Betty Lavette is my fave

Thanks Paul but i dont do Ebay these days been burnt too much STILL looking People Private PMS only please

Hi Guys Been given my Christmas money early so looking to buy my pressie to myself.Always liked this record even though it clears the floor due to its tempo i just love the record but never got round to buying one. After a nice condition copy of Towanda Barnes--You Dont Mean It. Looking for an original not the Reissue Pms please with price and condition for a cash sale Patto

But lots of records started off as cheapies before they gained exposure and demand.Take for a recent example Irene & The Scotts which is currently on Manships auction and probably set to reach a big price.Five years ago i bought it for a tenner so back then it would make it into a cheapies set.How can you get excited about a record just because of its price tag. A Good set is one that gets you dancing and entertains you simple as that.You could hear a string of mega bucks played out oldies and feel bored until an unfamiliar or underplayed record gets you back on the floor.It doesnt have to be a high price record that fills the floor.

Martyn Do you know if the yellows are harder to find than the issues,think i have seen a lot more of the coloured ones over the years.Very raw and moody dancer always thought its true home should have been Stafford rather than Wigan. Patto

Casino oldie here that seems to be a love or hate marmite record.Personally i love it but know lots who cant stand it.Not heard it out for a few years now.Mine is on the yellow label same as the clip but there is also a multi coloured label. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yb7Q9GJoCY

Nice pairing there mate.Larry is one of my fave 70s i have it on UK London.Dont hear it that much these days but during the 90s it was played out big time, think it was originally a Mecca spin

Here is Mine for today another from the deep nighter hours.This is the flip to the Fuller brothers Torch classic on Soul Clock.This is my prefered side--Moaning Groaning and Crying,wish it got as much action as its overplayed top side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHeazeapUg4

Hi Martyn Can't give you any deff Info on the Intros.Like you i made my enquiries and all roads lead to Mark Freeman who is a bit of a casino plays authority.On his youtube site he labels the record as a casino spin for Russ Winstanley.I'm sure i have seen it written down somewhere else but cant find it now.If i find owt ill paste it and put it up

Heres one i have that i always rave about.It was played last night by Bridgey at Sheffields Inner Soul Night and sounded great.An old Wigan Spin from the Intros https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxa4py6zJ-E

I Gave one of these away a few years ago to Pete( casper) Davis,and he was brave enough to spin it in the windsor room at Stoke nighter.He told me it went down great

Yep loads were after it when it appeared on one of the early Soulgirl You tube clips and it turned out to be an Unissued track

This has Atmosphere by the bucket load much better than Frankie & The classicals In My Opinion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U75NOMMNrLY

If You like your Instros full of Drama then bang this one on full blast,has all the breaks for the dancers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAFxoKDGQKg

Ha Ha We have a connection mate,beginning to think we are related.Always wanted an older brother to keep an eye out for me at the nighters and to lift records from

Martyn A lot of the old Wiganites like the Carole Waller version but for me Gladys smashes it big time.

Mine for today a well known but top oldie which got lots of action early 90s. I first heard it at the Keele nighters where it was a biggie.OO-OO-A-HA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BHfx_80Eso

New to me Kev thats got something going on like it a lot

What about this beauty which i am told was a surprisingly a spin for Russ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxa4py6zJ-E

Sorry Guys 3 posts in a day is too many but will finish off with probably one of the best tunes ever to inhabit that surreal twighlight time of a nighter just before the sun peeps through the curtains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUmZ7nUyfps
