I had a tape I'd done at Wigan one saturday night, (big tunes were John Leech, Burning Bush etc) and Searling played a tune he introduced as "carlotta - Lies" - that night was the only time I heard it, and I didn't miss many saturday nights at all.

it was a cover up, but I never bothered to find out who/what it really was, just seem to remember someone saying it was really rare when it cropped up in a conversation while listening to the aforementioned tape a couple of years later.

Anyone remember it, or know what it was/is?

Pete Smith probably has a copy of the tape somewhere, so could maybe identify it.

Think it was credited to Sharon Paige?

Couple of clues here..

Cheers guys, it's something that's always bugged me (well, every 10 years or so when it pops into my mind!)

Has it ever been issued on a CD/LP? Was the gwen owens boot a different version or just a covered up boot of the unissued sussex track?

I thought the question was about tunes that went big very quickly, then disappeared just as quick...

Maybe I'm wrong too :D

Tony

This was the point exactly. Records which seemed to be massive for a few weeks then disappeard as opposed to the evergreens that get revived quite often. Frankie Love Man Crocker would be an evergreen, Mack Simmons would be a 'forotten oldie'.

Of course they are not really 'forgotten', just maybe ready for more exposure so we avoid the 'constant 600' so to speak.

Soul Sauce absolutely packed the floor at the KGB Sheffield, Black Soul at Cleethorpes etc etc, and a few mentioned on here about Wigan. I was looking for others to mention other tunes they felt the same way about, perhaps records they liked but look like they faded away!

I play both sides of Billy Hambric, Dave Raistrick played it of late as well. Jackie Beavers and Tamala Lewis both get plays, Construction can't remember last time I heard it.

Plenty on this topic I thought were in the "classic northern" category, not forgotten?

Your spins are sort of the exception to rule as far as this thread goes really though, Mark. In fact I'll be surprised if this topic doesn't end up looking like one your set lists :D

Steve

I heard it twice I think and caught both plays on tape, second tape is the night Archie Bell was on, something like June 3rd 77, played as The Tiffanies I think

On one of the "live Wigan" recordings, from mid 74, that Pete S put up, there was all the usual stuff of the time , Tainted Love, Footsee, mirwood instrumentals, the Javells, and everything else that we've all heard a million times. Then there is a track by, I think, Kenny Ballard. Don't remember it at the time, and not heard it since. What happened there then. Compared to some of the stuff, it souded OK.

Dunno Pete how would we know if it was only played once unless at oNe venue you attended every week :) certainly the first post states cal tjader, heard that out quite a lot back in the day and many a time since, never heard of matt simmons or earnest fitzgerald so they may have been one-offs I guess? (can name a few records - some so-called big 'uns of today that showuldve been one-plays :lol: maybe another post there.

As far as I am aware Soul Source was played in the very early 70,s (Torch etc.) and even generated a reissue on verve. The original plays were because of the UK Verve release followed later by its subsequent revisit (oldies) around 78 time. It was also used as a backing theme to a children's BBC programme (can't remember the name) that my kids watched in the 90's.

Surely not where you live but venues attended? Records that were played at Yate and very big there at the time were not discovered by the majority until the late 80,s early 90's. In the 70,s they would be localised biggies

Definitely Kenny Ballard but I don't think it's on the tape with Footsee etc, must be a different one I posted up

It's on a CD someone did of the night. It's played between Eddie & Ernie, and The Montclairs. Possibly it is 2 different "live" recordings put onto one CD.

Jimmy Gresham This Feeling I Have Terri De

I think it was played once at the casino by RS then disappeared.

Still only a handfull of copys known and oh so good.

jimmy gresham has been a part of most of butch`s sets during the last copule of years. rarity indeed seems to be the reason why not more djs are playing it out. me for example I lost out on two copies on ebay during the last ten years...the last at only 1600 USD sth frusty2.gif
