One of those records i remember Richard playing at Wigan. Can enyone else remember it, Think it was not a bad tune at the time.

Maybe have to ask the man himself next Blackpool tower weekender.

Cheers for that Simon. After all those years trying to remember this tune,Ive listened to it a couple of times.

I must admit it sounds a bit poppy, but if Mr Searling played it couldnt have been that bad. Maybe the era it was played(start of in my opinion modern soul Omini,Roy Dawson ,Daybreak,Larry Brown ect) mixed with the big sixties discoverys it kinda fitted in.

I found a tape with it on tonight, how spooky is that? The track listing says "Prince Harold - Up to my soul in love - C/U?", It's definitely not one of mine, but looks like a bit of a comp of Searling plays from off the radio. Anyone know who it is for sure?

prob an lp track..

You know what, i was just thinking 'I bet Mark knows it'.

not this time matt,,,u ok mate??

Its awful !! dont bother uncovering it

DEFFO not played from an album it was on a 7 inch acetate which was slightly warped,the first time he played it. I remember richard saying hopefully this next record will play, this would be about 1979 ish ive spoken to richard and even sent him a tape of the record and even he doesnt remember who it was by i even spoke to john anderson which also drew a blank hope this helps IAN

the memories of some of the djs are hopeless!!! ive asked quite a few about various records and none of them hardly remember!

whar a corking tune!! im well pleased hearing that, its a total unknown for me but wasnt that what richard was about?. if it wasnt for the fact he no longer has a garage full of tunes, heaven knows how many cover-ups he left gathering dust....(and, its not for the fact they were awful......thought id get that in before the anoraks chimed in with their twopenneth of vitriol), that maybe others close to him, have been lucky enough to accomodate in their collections. the man has left so many questions unanswered where cover-ups are concerned, but didnt richard just play brilliant sets in northern soul's heyday?.

I'm with Ken on this. I can't actually hear anything soulful in it.

Must agree after a couple more listens its not got soul in it(no wonder mrs Searling & Anderson said they couldnt remember it).

Maybe had too many beers on the train to Wigan all those years ago.

Thanks for the info & comments guys

IT IS A STRANGE WORLD OF NORTHERN SOUL
