Never gone out of my way to actually collect a certain label but I have about 25 records on the Carnival label, bought every one of them cos I thought they were good in their own right so it shows IMHO the depth in quality on the label, the Manhattans and Lee Williams and Cymbals stuff in particular are all absolute gems, Volt is another label where I find I have a lot of stuff on, Dramatics, Newcomers, Emotions and Mad Lads to name but a few to contribute great Soul music. Kev

While we are on the subject, what a fookin record, typical cheap record that should be played but suffers from the rarity syndrome, ideal mid-tempo shuffler. gonna get it on the deck now. Kev

Little Johnny Hamilton "Oh how I love you"

I don,t think the scene in the main is as dance driven as it used to be Mark, over the last few years I have been to many nites where the floor is not that busy but feedback says that people have still had a hell of a nite, take the D.D.A at Lowton for example, DJ,s are told to enjoy themselves, have fun and don,t worry about the dancefloor, records are applauded by people in their seats aswell as on the floor, I have to admit though there are some sounds that make impossible to remain seated. Kev

Mark Bicknall used to play it in his sets not so long ago with if my memory serves me right good dancefloor response, have a copy myself and wouldn,t part with it, could be one of those that disappear into peoples collections and become scarce, a scenario we,ve seen on many occasions, hence the debates on value. Kev

Yeah, agree with you all the way Phyllis, great contribution from Joan again, check out Gladys Knights equally awesome version aswell Phyllis, on the "Everybody needs love" album, you will not be disappointed. Kev

Turn it over man, just like Kev H says,"Tyra,s Song" is an absolute sublime piece of mid-tempo soul, in fact this is the side that has been getting played in the N.E for 20 years or more to further answer Kev,s question about having the bollocks to play t,other side. Glad Blake emphasised the point about the Florida Spiritulaires, amongst the Lee Fields mayhem an absolute gem of a record has quietly slipped through the net, further emphasising the sad fact of people lacking the vision to find something fresh for themselves cos here is a prime example of a record just crying out for DJ airplay, I paid £80 for mine and don,t regret it for one second, just a shame really that a lot of people are missing out on a fantastic untapped record. Kev

A couple of stories on the same line Mischief, a guy I work with who is a self confessed rock nut has just come back from holiday where he told me one night at the hotel that he was staying at 3 American guys who were masquerading as a Jackie Wilson tribute group were the entertainment he said to me " Kev, I couldn,t sit f-----g still, that music is awesome, I danced all night". On another occasion many moons ago, the football team That I played for played a game in Sheffield which was about a 2-3 hour trip for us we stayed after the game for a session (as you do) on departure at 11-30 I produced a tape that someone had given me at a niter and gave it to the bus driver to stick on, within 10 minutes the volume was at full blast and the bus practically rocked from one side of the motorway to the other all of the way back to Aycliffe and out of about 30 people on the bus I was the only one who frequented soul venues. Soul is the only music that can randomly move people IMHO. Regards Kev

Like you say Sean, "You can,t fight whats right" is AWESOME, just picked up a "7". Didn,t know it until Bully copied and sent a CD that you,d done, so thanks to you and Bully for that one mate. Talking about "awesome" Whispers records (theres many IMHO) Blake H posted the "incredible" "Never again" by them the other day, is this track also featured in the set. Kev

Manhattans-Baby I,m sorry-Carnival Great thread Baz, lots of great contributions, impossible to choose a fave Carnival record because of the depth and quality of the output, this one though is right up there for me though, the lead singer George Smith who tragically died in 1970 is one of my all time favourite vocalists. Kev

Thanks for the info Boba, James Thompson wrote "If a woman catches a fool" on bamboo and also "Two lovers" on Frisco, and if he sang lead, that is one talented man. Thanks again, Kev

Great show Boba, wait with anticipation every week for it, question, Voicemasters-Two lovers-Frisco, I know there is a connection with the group and Detroit, but is this a Detroit recording. Regards Kev

You are right John. It was me who got it, I asked Joan to guess how much I had paid for it not so long ago and she said £100, I replied "forget it Joan, Its disappeared" I think its quoted as £100 in JM,s book but I think if someone can get it for that, they,ve been lucky. Its been on the wants thread before, about 18 months ago without coming up trumps. Regards Kev
