Was Eddies my name really played as early as 1973? Suppose it must have if it's in the ad. Could have sworn it was much later. But then my memory like lots on here is not quite as good!

Back in the day (late 60's) at our local youth club we used to do a type of line dance to "Harlem shuffle" ; we thought it was the Harlem shuffle!! Then we did the "Temptation Walk" to the Jackie Lee song, just like the Temps (well nearly). Then someone came back from the Wheel and showed us the true way and our lives changed forever and we never danced in line or with anyone else again.,

If you contact me with an address I will post it to you. No charge. Maybe if you feel able make a donation to a charity. I would have probably donated it to our local air ambulance shop. Dave Banks -
Just found this cassette at the back of the cupboard.

From "the Yanks" post on another thread. It's also listed in Manships guide. Others will know more but I think its a fairly common record. Dave Banks

Have been enjoying his version of the Volcanoes Storm Warning on YouTube lately. Filmed at "Daryl's House" and has a nice symmetry as Daryl Hall was at Arctic Records at the time the original was recorded. Seek it out you will not be disappointed. Dave Banks

According to his twitter feed Rose Battistes Hit and Run is one of his favourite tracks. Who knew? My respect for this man has increased enourmously !! Dave Banks -
I enjoyed readings Tims story of the Mello Souls discovery and his "take" on it. As one of the old school who started at the Mardi Gras/Torch I have to say I really love the MS. I have not heard it at a nighter but only at home via the net. I think it still sounds magical and so northern. It is certainly in my top ten. Tim is right in that it probably wouldn't have stuck around much if found in the heyday of the 70's, but as a "new" sound found later it packs such a punch. And without a nighter experience it still sounds magical played loud on headphones or in the car. Dave Banks

That version of Stormy is so good, all the more so as Supremes versions of songs tend to be awful. Normally I can't get on with Diana Ross' voice but on this she seems to sing in her normal range and hits the spot. One of my favourites that really surprised me.

Surprised no-one has mentioned the Epitome of Sound double header, gets my vote. Such quality in a complete one off. Doh! meant to put in a plug for the Victors - Hurt/Not only a girl knows - Phillips

When I was young we used to listen to a radio show called workers playtime. Popular tunes played by jobbing musicians and singers and broadcast from a factory canteen. It was popular mainly because the BBC refused to play recorded music. Years later we had those "Top of the Pops" albums on budget labels. Then we had Wigans Ovations sound of Lancashire etc. There is a direct lineage here. Not really an OVO event more like a KFC advert.

Pretty sure the first imports I saw were Motown and Chess stuff in late 60's. Barrett Strong/Little Milton that kind of thing. The first NS/in demand record on import was probably Edwin Starr SOS. That started our search for all things RIC TIC.

Bit late to post , but got this card from my son. Would have liked the record but hey its the thought that counts.

slightly veering off topic............had to have a brain scan in hospital....as they keep you in the chamber for 30 mins and you have to keep still you can take a CD in, they play it for you in the chamber. Bit of a mistake......as minutes into my northern soul compilation comes a voice over the chamber speakers ...."can you keep your feet still..its making your head move" Dave Banks -
So at what temperature do we think our precious vinyl records would warp? Obviously you don't want to leave the rarest record in the world on a chip shop counter that would be stupid !!!!!! But seriously do we need to watch were we store our records now that 40C temperatures, in the shade, hit UK? Dave Banks
