Superb! I look forward to listening to these in the coming days and learning what I missed back then. Thanks v much.

Stafford is my favourite era (for the 60s stuff) looking forward to hearing these Chalky - nice one

Cheers

Richard

Hi Chalky

I've really enjoyed listening to these podcasts. Like I said, I never went to Stafford and never realised that alot of newly released stuff was played there. Listening to these podcasts I can understand why it was an exciting period to be on the scene. Expect to be listening to these many times in the coming weeks and thanks for posting them.

ATB

Mike

Thanks for the replies.

The music was certainly across the board, trying hard to think of anywhere since where it was like that all in one room, maybe Allbrighton at times.

There will be many more over time. Working on Dave Withers/Rod Shard plays and some discoveries this weekend hopefully so keep checking the site.

Hi Chalky

Just looked again and The Memphians, should be 'South Memphis' not 'Breakdown', which did you put in the pod cast ??

Been trying to catch up with all the Stafford stuff for a while these podcasts are fantastic I never realised just how diverse the playlists were some amazing tunes . Thanks for posting these up

Hi Chalky

Just looked again and The Memphians, should be 'South Memphis' not 'Breakdown', which did you put in the pod cast ??

Hi Dave, I used the track you e-mailed me. But I found it on another website but under the flip's name?

I will double check over the weekend though, send you the link and will amend the playlist and re-record if necessary

Hi Mark

That really was where the magic of the club lay, it's diversity. Plus it was a proper venue, not s village hall somewhere

New set of podcasts dedicated to the Stafford era.....

https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/Stafford/

First two podcasts online and feature two sets of Modern and Crossover Soul from Dave Thorley. Hopefully a set of Dave's 60's spins will be added tomorrow.

Download and enjoy....

this is an 500 chrs clip of the article - use link below to view the article in full (images, video etc)

Thanks Chalky (and Dave T and Keith). Really enjoyed Set 3. I was there for the first 2 or 3 years but had forgotten/can't remember some of these. Can't think why. Second favourite niter for me (after Yate - sorry WC boys).

As always with these things, now that it's been done thought of a whole bunch more, maybe do another one or two later.

send me a list Dave and will do another just as soon as i get the chance

Hi Mark

That really was where the magic of the club lay, it's diversity. Plus it was a proper venue, not s village hall somewhere

Isn't the venue still running? We had an intern from Stafford a few years ago and she said it's still open but now called Zanzibars or so??

Zanzibar is correct, the reunion a couple of years ago was held there, which I couldn't make, but I went to a previous reunion '02/03 and it was Zanzibar then I recall.

It will always be Top Of The World though won't it! ;-)

Cheers,

Mark R

Brill, mate. Now that's what I call oldies.

wait till you hear the second set (which I just f*cked up)

Sunday morning, time to get your feet up with the Sunday paper and listen to the latest instalment of the Stafford Story. Once again the spotlight is on Dave Withers and Rod Shard with some more great records from the early 80's. Most still in demand today, some forgotten about and some no doubt still unknown to those who kissed the 80's altogether.

This second set form Dave and Rod has taken 6 attempts to finish, I kept f*cking it up, twice in the last couple of tracks So I hope it was worth it

Next it will be the turn of Gary Rushbrook so keep checking the site

https://www.soulunder...k/StaffordTOTW/

Absolute magic, cheers Chalky

Great stuff Chalky haven't heard some of these since they were played in the day. The 'On The Avenue' track was originally thought to be Tommy Good. I take it at some point there has been firmer clarification of the artists?

Cheers George. I'm not sure anyone is any the wiser who it is, Rod said it was Holland, Dozier, Holland so went with that. It is on the old tape listing as Holland and Dozier. Maybe Robb K or Rod can shed a bit more light on it.

There is a Jimmy Ruffin track of the same title.

These last 2 podcasts are just as good as the previous 4. Got loads of new faves from all 6 and they make a great collection of tunes to keep. Also recommended are the Stafford pages on Soulful Kinda Music if like me, you are discovering what you missed.

Thanks for the comments, appreciated by myself and the DJ's in question. Hoping to get a second one of Gary's done this weekend, just need to find some time to sit down for an hour or so.

Chalky, superb mate! Brings back happy memories of TOTW allnighters and all the toons are class, much like Dave T's tash and permed hair combo back then!!! Funny how time changes perceptions; back then I can vividly recall getting grief from some sections for our support of Sixties Newies and Modern Soul (weren't Guy & Keb banned from DJing at some venues??) and an article headed Stafford - Playground For The Pompous underlined that battle for the heart of the scene. Fast forward 20+ years and a look at the tracklistings above prove who won that battle. Keep up the good work, as we all know there were 100's of sounds broken at Stafford every night!

Chalky, thanks for putting these out. Really enjoying them. For interest, after "Zanzibar" TOTW is now called "Couture". Same building different inside.

Ric F

Ah Daves Modern set brings back memories of being sat in the main hall, grooving on Booker Newbury III 'Love Town', for almost the entire nighter before realising the sixties room was upstairs with all the Letchworth crew who'd failed to tell me and Rob Kearney about it!!! We were begining to think TOTW was a tad Modern biased! Having said that we did REALLY get into the Modern after that, Ronnie Loveman Stokes - TOON!,,,,,

As your enjoying these so much here is another 25 tracks of Gary's for your listening pleasure. As before, as it it was early days the odd Wigan biggie, one or two old biggies for Richard plus Gary's own Stafford newies.

https://www.soulunder...k/StaffordTOTW/

Leo Wright & ElbeJays - Baby Don't You Do It - Unissued/Cover Up

Gasoline Powered Clock - Forest Fire On Main Street - GPC

Leo Wright, nice surprise. Didn't know there was another version of this song. I only knew the United Four c/up one (acetate only). United Four was first played by Richard Searling wasn't it?

Gasoline Powered Clock, it's the (daft) vocal side on the podcast. Wasn't it the instrumental side that got played?

Which ever side was played Benji they are both crap.

Untitled Four was played out as Leo Wright, speeded up a bit was it not? I have a faster one on a tape and slowed down sounds like this. It was Searling late Wigan I believe....Gary Rushbrooke must have got it from RS along with some other stuff he played early Stafford.

I quite like the Gas Powered Clock instrumental, but not as a Northern track more as a pop one.

I think the Leo Wright cut sounds quite different to the United Four cut I'm used to. Will see if I can find my United Four mp3 and if it's really just a speeded up Leo Wright.

Do you know if original acetate is uncredited?
