carl carlton.........?? c/up ............i know of 3.............of both........ always pack the floor.......ez

Another Ady spin, Paramount Four HAS to go big when out and about, TUUUUNE!!!

is this an unissued track? sound pretty good

mark

The Corvetts is absolutely brilliant!!

anyone know how many are around in the northern scene..........a doowop biggie in states im told,,,,,,ezzie

Spencer Wiggins - I'm at the breaking point - Unissued fame recording from 1969 is the best record I've heard this decade!

A tad too slow for niters etc but for 70's/Crossover rooms it's perfection!

I can certainly shake me pants to it and that creshendo at the end when all the horns come in is sublime!

Cheers

By our very own Andalucians! Been played here for at least 3 years. They're also appearing at the next Kings and Queens Weekender in Hamburg (Sept) backing Dean Parish and Tommy Hunt.

having trouble listening to archive, dunno if its cause I'm on a mac? don't have real audio

will have a try bit later but off to Cleethorpes later.

will subscribe too

Chalky,

I'll play it to you at Cleethorpes.

Did you get the copy that Manship auctioned, or do you have an hitherto unknown copy of it?

Off topic - where's it gone? UK,Japan,back to the Usa? .

On topic - Butch's Jean Carter - "I wanna know" on Decca acetate,,,,proper Northern been played for a while but...better then Parliaments imho(tin hat on ).

yes kev,top tune imo,

https://www.youtube.c...h?v=Fd1DOr7yCio

interestingly it came out twice same label, same number but the other under the artist of "Shine" which was his nick name.

nice record but never a 'Big Spin' imo

can't think of any big spins really except

Just Like the Weather acetate

???

Is this the 70's Richie Parker / Aaron Neville version?

anyone mention that awesome 1963 ike and tina record that big Danny played at the old burnley.....what a dance tune that is

it wouldnt be called strange on the sonja label would it ??? ive been banging on about this for years , i think i was one of the first to really shed light on this 45 ! one slipped through my fingers on ebay years ago for $25 ( but was battered ) i didnt realise how rare it actually was! i have seen two in recent years go for $600 +

Shaun with you on this I don't know about records that I'll never own on acetate or records that have resurfaced been big at one time or not as some may say, they are all great tunes but as a current big spin i.e released in 2008 & a little known group from a borstal in Granada (Spain) who have played with one or two big names Dean Parrish and P.P. Arnold. I have to put this as my top track of the moment.

(Enjoy)

Suppose everyone is at Cleethorpes by now, but does anyone have a soundclip of Butch's Just Like The Weather acetate?

I heard it at Lifeline a year ago but can't recall the differences with the original.

Vocally I think it's far better, sounded fantastic last night :-) it's Mill Edwards (Mill Evans) on an exodus acetate, could be a vinyl one, I have held it but can't remember for sure. I've the clip at home that was with the eBay listing.

Chalky,

I'll play it to you at Cleethorpes.

You dark horse John.. .Wish i was going now.

As the three little pigs may say

the first is a bit to Mod for me,

the second is a tad to Jazzy for me,

But the third is oh so soulful & just right, even with the strange title as for the fourth I can't comment cause I've never heard it Pat?

Butch's Entertainers IV cover up and his fantastic Gil Blanding cover up, I'll cry too I think he's called it, been playing it about three months.

Should be back up and running next day or so Seb so if you can try then much appreciated

Here you go:

Tommy Dent - Soul Thing - COBBLESTONE -

Tommy Dent - Miss Woman - COBBLESTONE -

Ooooh! How good is this!

Ooooh! How good is this!

A really great record. With this and the Spencer Wiggins Ady has become the King of Crossover!

Thanks for the TD sound-files Seb, will have a listen when I get home.

Candi Staton "One More Hurt" - Unissued MONSTER track, from the Ace 'Haul of FAME'.

Hear it played LOUD this weekend at Rugby!

Magnificent - I kid you not.

yes kev,top tune imo,

Great record.Looks like a british acetate.Got loads of UK Decca acetates of british stuff with exactly the same label.Not all of them came out on UK Decca though (on a non northern soul note ive one by The Quik of I Cant Sleep on a UK Decca acetate which was issued on UK Deram).Maybe Butch has a Decca acetate label over a different label..........great game this guessing the cover up.

that's not the label on the record. plenty of US acetates such as RCA that look like above too. That track on the you tube clip was "stolen" at the rocket when Gavin taped the sets of the DJs without permission.

Sorry - nothing to do with Norhern Soul to me - if this is the fayre on offer at present no wonder oldies are as popular as ever.

TBH a part of me thought these records were put on here as a "wind-up" they really ARE that bad!!!

To be fair this is Soul Source and not northern soul source.I don't consider them to be northern soul either and I don't think he was claiming they were northern soul...I think when he says "scene" he means mod/rare soul scene.Zu Zu is okay aint bad..........Four Tempos-Got To Have You is northern and underplayed (thinking mans oldie?).

They are all terrible to my ears......the xover one ain't bad, but I'm not in to xover.....but the others aren't good enough to be played out in my opinion......if the Tommy Dent was £20 nobody would touch it.......and that bloody zu zu man.....I preferred the watts 103rd street rhythm band version that Ian Levine played at the Mecca in the early 70's.....Brown Sugar......and that was rubbish.....

Sorry - didn't realise there were so many categories these days - Mod - rare soul - Northern - modern - crossover - oldies etc. etc.

Don't really matter which group you put them in - it makes no difference to me - they are still both rubbish IMHO.

Exciting, different, challenging are the words I' d use !! Loved em both!! are they northern, thats another question, Id love to dance to them at a nighter though.

Just making a point, lots of intrest in these, as ebay has shown with the amount of bidders, also sold mt Zu Zu on hear a couple of months back and could have sold it 20 times over, god i hate the term northern soul, to me its just dance music, like them or hate them, theres no getting away from it they are getting loads of turntable action and thats what the thread was about, least thats my interpretion of it.

Sam played Tommy Dent at Cleethorpes. I prefer the 'Miss Woman' side! Great 45

Is it me or does Tommy Dent sound like some UK Club band throwaway b side........ie Geno Washington/Alan Bown etc...it's more of a mod sound than a northern soul sound.

agree with you Dave , just been trying to listen to zu zu , tommy dent & that pow wow , think I'll stick to soul music instead

Previously mentioned on the thread - Ray & The Blue Satins - She doesn't love me. Cracking tune imo and gets regular plays at Soulgalore, Crofton by resident DJ / promoter Paul Newton.

Maybe now its 1500 quid tho it'll make some ears prick up?.Great nighter sound Phil.When i first heard it a few months back,the first thing i said was "Its a Burnley sound" (Batcave).

No,its not everyone's cup of tea,but it begs to be heard at a nighter when the rooms buzzing.Not in some xover back room among the late 70's lp tracks.

If you play it loud enough at an All-Nighter does that mean it doesn't have to be that good? Stack 'em up against George Blackwell, Eula Cooper , Del Larks etc etc. They were played at All -Nighters - one thing common to tunes like that - they passed "quality control"

Stick me in a back room playing xover anytime - I might get to hear some soul !!!

Know what you're saying,horses for courses Epic.Xover room for xover,nighter room for more uptempo?.Hey no axe to grind,not comparing with the above or owt.New sounds are more than welcome on the scene.Wouldn't be good to all like the same thing.

Not sure what you mean by "passed quality control" though?.Sorry even further off topic.Pm's Epic?

Have to say I love Phil Kowalski's Little Johnny Blair C/U @ the mo, specially since I found a copy on my shelves last night! bonus.

Listen to it in sales.
