I am just listening to this podcast , what a fab way to hear sounds that are not played as the norm by the "apostles" of soul .

Have to applaud Andy for doing this. Not many with such a collection would advertise its contents on the net , keeping them close so that you had to travel to hear them.

Well not anymore ! and well done you for doing it . This is the kind of attitude that takes the scene forward .

I would like to thank Andy for all of us that do struggle to go to nighters that appreciate those sounds that are just not available to us at soul nights.

I do hope many more follow his lead .

So many great tracks I have not heard before , it really is a joy to hear them.

Can anyone tell me who sings Take a look ?

C and M,

Yes - "Let's Take A Look At Our Life" - Emory & Dynamics on Peachtree

Thanks also go to Chalky for these podcasts.

Is this the one that has "Things That A Lady Ain't Suppose To Do" as that's the same group but called "The Four Dynamics" also on Peachtree.

Martin - Hope you're being good, celery and carrot juice?

ATB John

Thanks John. If any DJ wants a podcast hosting alongside Andy's and the others then shout up.

I believe Emory & the Dynamics became the Four Dynamics for William Bell's label.

I'm being good John!!!

They are the same group but "Emory" had left the group, hence the "Four Dynamics". They recorded under both names on the label.

Thanks Brian , this looks to be the best option for me I shall pop into BR on sat and pick one up hopefully

It's never been a grand, I would say £400- 600. I had an issue which is much rarer, but I struggled to sell it. It's not a popular record with the masses. The 4 dynamics is very rare, and to be honest a much better 45.

I agree with this. Otherwise I wouldn't have the "take a look" 45 (which has a really nice sweet side, "it sure would be nice"), as I'm not paying a grand for the record. I've only seen the four dynamics for sale like twice.

its a cracking record and bloody hard to find, I would agree more with your valuation though Phil

You don't see the "Take a look" that often. Would say £400 a bit low, £600 more like it. And it fills the floor whenever I've heard it played out.

Think you would struggle to get 600 for it to be honest.

Chalky whats the track which is heavy on the harmonica in your podcast it think its called let your little light shine ? Is it generally known ?

cheers

Carms

Think you would struggle to get 600 for it to be honest.

i got 700 for it at Middleton

If i remember the idea of the podcast was to give people a idea of what Lifeline was about - hopefully attracting a few new folk who weren't quite familiar with the music we play there.Since then playlists of all the dj's change slightly ,the goal posts have moved a little and we have to on the whole be a customer friendly niter - ie at the time of this podcast we could play more 70's and the so called "funkier " influenced dancers ,but the dance floor reaction at the moment dictates a more traditional upfront 60's flavour ! I must admit i am a big believer that people should travel to venues to hear something different ... but of course this isn't always possible, anyways glad you enjoyed the music which is the main thing.

there you have it. current value

The shop floor is always the best litmus test for price feedback etc although the bay is the yard stick knowledge hunters follow,they haven't a clue as to what deals are being done by many dealers and collectors -day in and day out....

Ian mate ,don't ask me Chalky came to my house and i handed him a few 45's ,i wouldn't know where to start... i just charged him £50 per record to record them ! ah.. only joking it was more....

i got 700 for it at Middleton

Did you have a spare then Ted?

Did you have a spare then Ted?

Na! this is another one he'll regret selling. It's about time this ol' Guy Hennigan Stafford spin re-emerged from under the shade of "The Things A Lady Ain't Supposed To Do"

Now then what did Guy have it covered up as Where's that Chalky when you need him?

Dave

Did you have a spare then Ted?

no just needed the money Martin hopew you are feeeling better

Dave

Can't agree with that Dave. "Things a lady ain't supposed to do" is far superior in every department. Better song, better production, and better vocals.

"Let's take a look at our life" Emory's voice becomes quite grating after a while, in fact the whole thing starts to irritate, and I wouldn't buy it again. Unless it was cheap and I could sell it on that is.

It's one of the loudest records I've ever heard too by the way. You need to adjust the levels on the mixer when you play it out otherwise you will get distortion and deafen everyone.

The fact is, the dance floor decides. Play the two records in the same set [i have] and see the reaction.

no just needed the money Martin hopew you are feeeling better

I hope to a DJ so that it gets plenty of play.

I'm on road to recovery and hope to get out to solid hit near the end of feb. Would like to do lifeline but not sure I'll manage an allnighter.

thanks for asking.

Hi Phil

I'm not comparing the quality of either 45against each other just saying that "Let's Take A Look" is about due for a reactivation., the trouble is the Four Dynamics is a current biggy and Emory is a forgotten sound. Also some records never hit the bigtime first time round or even the second infact some have to make more comebacks than

George Bast to hit the bigtime. There's none so fickle as northern folk.

If I had 600 quid spare and "Take A Look" came along I'd probably buy it, it would be for me, for my collection and not with a view to selling on when I got fed up with life. I can't imagine why anyone would try and compare two different records as well, both great records IMO in their own right.

Proff - Look At You

Sensations - Demanding Man

It don't or cannot get much better than this, can it??

I couldn't find a grapevine issue ? ...... but I found the LP that Kev talks of , and picked it up at bargain price ! so thank you Kev if I could Kiss you I would xxx

Its just arrived my Peachtree Lp .... best Valentines ever
