Top Tips For 2010

Posted

Hi all,

Exactly 12 months since we did the last 'Top Tips' thread... and therefore 24 months since the previous - and 36 months since the first :yes: - so, as it's now become a Soul Source tradition, here we go again!

Here's your opportunity to tip the tunes in your box for future greatness during the coming year... or simply list any number that you'd like to recommend to other Soul Sourcers.

You might be a DJ with that tasty unplayed, unknown, hardly played or semi-known 45 stuck in the back of your box that you'd love to play... but haven't quite got around to it... yet!

You might be a collector, sitting on a tune that you know, if it got into the right hands, could become massive in the next 12 months.

It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves.

It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just have what it takes to become a monster!

No need to post sound clips. Just let us know what you've got that you think deserves a plug in the coming year!

So come on. Look at your box and let's have your top tip (or tips) for 2010.

Oh... and a Happy (and Soulful) New Year to all.

The best is yet to come!

:thumbup:

Hi Sean

atb for 2010thumbsup.gif

This is my tip for the top in 2010

and getting it's 1st uk play on Saturday night at York soul club

https://www.soul-source.co.uk/more/live-search/small%20society/%20

First UK play ??? Er ...I think not as Rod Dearlove used to give it a whirl every now and then. He put it on one of his tapes about 10 or 12 years ago :thumbsup:

Andy

Andy

Thanks for confirming Andy ...Sean did mention it earlier in his post about Rod having had a copy ...tried to do a bit of research myself and came up with nothing so hey ho i'll concede and play it at York tonight and give the plaudits to Rod:smile:

What happened to Rod's copy ......does he still have it?? or was it his that went ended up on Tim Brown auction a few yrs back ??

Either way it's a top tune, if i do say so myself:hatsoff2:

Another one ,and thankfully a cheapie ,that is probably already well known but not getting much turntable action it deserves is this little beauty

https://www.youtube.c...3D0E0D&index=27

Finally cracked how to post a youtube thumbup.gif

Certain i got this off Rod Dearlove Nev, cracking choice mate, will have to go find it now. Brett

Has anyone ever played the flip of the best 70's record EVER( get your point over) . Try this one ....

I DON'T CARE WHAT MAMA SAID - SEBASTIAN WILLIAMS - OVIDE good.gif

Brilliant choice Mak, another favourite 45' thats safely indoors.

thumbsup.gif

RELATIVES- LEAVE SOMETHING WORTHWHILE- HEAVLIGHT RECORDS LP (ONLY) PLAYED LAST YEAR BY NEIL FORBES, A FUTURE CLASSIC, AWESOME RECORD, KEPT IN THE VAULTS SINCE 75, FIRST OFFICIAL VINYL RELEASE........

REY VILLAR and the ROYAL FLUSH - HEAVEN IS MY WITNESS- ECOBOLIC............What a record, think my man from Darlington, Nev will agree, this can be massive next year, plus its a tough one to find.

Brett

this is in refo soul, cant get link to work !

Simply fantastic, i know a few who have played this out, a real cheap quality record proving soul doesn't have to be stupid bloody prices, there are as many brilliant cheap records out there, just go chase em'.

Yeah, it will be snapped up. Like the ebay listing states a holy grail, only a handfull of copies known to exist, and like the one John Manship auctioned last month as he said the only copy John has ever seen !!!!!.........Thanks to my mate Paul Havakin from the legendary Greatstone Soul club for putting me onto this..

Hi Brett

I saw that copy in ebay sales on here by docfish, aka Lars Bulheim

Will be interesting how much it fetches ??

Did it go to number one ( the below version )

It was certainly hammered at the time Simon.

I used to throw my shoes at the Radio whenever it came on! aggressive.gif

The original has always been a fave.

Larry Hancock - Great vocal!

Good choice guys.

The LP is a good buy . Seems to be soaring in price for some reason ?

Nothing new - but tunes that sound right for now and relatively unknown/underplyed:

  • Richard Knight - Show Stopper - Allen
  • Auditions - Get Set, Be Ready - Freckles
  • Sonny Dave Daye - Merry Go Round - Ring O

Regards,

Greg. hatsoff2.gif

Agreed on the sonny dave daye. A great record that could appeal to both main hall and R n B room.

You could cover it up as minivanilli!!ph34r.gif . You can't out do the O.C Smith version for me.....L.P only jobby.

O C SMITH - COLOR HIM FATHER - CBS LP -

Here's a couple i would hope to hear more of in 2010, at least.

Eddie Holman She's Beautiful Don-El....known yes but quality and underplayed.

RnB/Soul wise Sarah Vaughan Oh Lover Roulette......(on the back of her Mama success from 2009 plays, this one is, for my money, an improvement on mama and it's flip one mint tulip...even).

RnB/Soul wise again....the Squires Walkin' Herald.......( A chuggin' up-tempo RnB dancer..that will please mmmmany a dancer)

Also have a couple of later suggestions to run by you later. Gonna see if i can suss this sound-file business before i try.

regards mike

heres another for 2010--ME AND KARL RHODES BEEN PLAYING THIS BEEN GOING DOWN QUITE WELL AT THE NIGHTERS FOR KARLyes.gif

EBONYSTIC-AINT IT GOOD TO YOU-SCREAM RECORDS...

heres another for 2010--ME AND KARL RHODES BEEN PLAYING THIS BEEN GOING DOWN QUITE WELL AT THE NIGHTERS FOR KARLyes.gif

EBONYSTIC-AINT IT GOOD TO YOU-SCREAM RECORDS...

Clarkie had a few of these . Same lable as the Billy Byrd monster thumbsup.gif

Don't know if this ever got played cos it's a bit slow but Gene Taylor - You Got My Nose Wide Open on Minit under the control of Bobby Womack is a sublime bit of crossover. The flip Dont Go Away is a fantastic bit of deep too.

Some tips from me

1. H. ANDREWS - IT TOOK YOU - BALANCE RECORDS

2. BAUNCHI AND THE FUNKY KIDDS - GOOD MORNING LOVE - ZOOM MUSIC FACTORY

3. THE VIKINGS - HEARTACHES (Don't Last Forever) - VOYAGE RECORDS

4. FRANK LUCAS - JANITOR OF LOVE - MHR RECORDS

and a Deepie

5. WILEY HUMPHREY - I'M FORECASTING LOVE - BAR BEE

Cheers

Pat

EBONYSTIC-AINT IT GOOD TO YOU-SCREAM

Great choice Steve - Always liked this one - a last hour occasional spin from Colin Curtis at the Mecca and a favorite record of my old mate Shelvo from Leicester - got one of these from John Anderson in 1976 and still play it regularly today - great ballad on the other side too !

One from me - another ex Mecca last hour spin which deserves more exposure is : REO LANE - GIVE ME YOUR LOVE - BREN

Take care

John

YES JOHN THE EBONYSTIC TIS A GREAT TUNE DEFO ONE TO BE REVIVED THEN thumbup.gif

THAT BAUNCHI AND THE FUNKY KIDDS IS BRILLIANT HEARD IT IN THE CROSSOVER THREADthumbup.gif

The Ebonystic has been big for us in Milwaukee for 2-3 years now. Actually probably a better dance record than the Billy Byrd, although maybe not as strong of a tune.

Nev

He probably still has it. I know he was collecting the output of Willie Bollinger and from memory he had something to do with Small Society :shades: I think he also reviewed it in one of the old Voices...if I can find it I'll post details up :thumbsup:

Andy

Don't know if this ever got played cos it's a bit slow but Gene Taylor - You Got My Nose Wide Open on Minit under the control of Bobby Womack is a sublime bit of crossover. The flip Dont Go Away is a fantastic bit of deep too.

Great choice John. I did a review of it in Shades of Soul a few years ago in the crossover section. Both sides had Womack involvement from memory :thumbsup:

Andy

Some things i will persevere with this year

if this one arrives in time for feb,

Jerome Jones Don't Change / Happiness Exist Jham for Life Records

luckey jamal davis vacate big city

rey villar heaven is my witness ecbolic(ere appears to be a suplus of copies at the greatstone (thanks Nev)

the future i cant stop C A R

the lords on canadian pace (cant remember title at the moment

Mark

There was a couple of unissued tracks that got one play only at Essence last year that deserve more plays, "Tommy Tate-You Want Me", the old Otis Clay album track with superior vocals that snuck out on Garry Capes label recently and "Sam Dees-Gimme A Little Action" still unissued.

Andrew.

The Scott Three - Running Wild - March........had plays the latter half of last year by Steve G, but a couple more copies have surfaced ( whistling) which will hopefully give it greater exposure in 2010.

Holidays - Cover Up..........Blinding proppa Northern Soul.

Relatives.........as Brett quite rightly says one of the best releases of last year, had plays, but now uncovered etc will reach epic proportions in 2010, certainly deserves to be huge.............

Happy New Year

Russ

And who tipped you off about it :thumbup:

Your mate Andy or was it Gurney ?
