Recently a thread on OVO playlists was prematurely in my opinion closed.Personally i love these kind of threads and after all it is LOOK IN YOUR BOX forum.So thought i would try to inject new life into it using a slightly different approach.Right the Task is to name a playlist of 15 records that you would spin for the dancefloor.Try to list under played stuff or favourites that dont get played anymore and avoid the same old oldies

1/ From your own collection

2/ Original labels

3/ Uptempo Dancers only

4/ Priced at around £50 from fair dealers

Thats it to start i have posted a few lets hope the thread gets some positive posts like it used to be and lets talk about records

Clarence Jackson - If it don't fit, don't force it VALTONE

Porgy and the Monarchs - Love chain VERVE

Bobby Jones - Beware a stranger USA Both sides!!

Regarding the clarence jackson i have this which shares the same backing track and is just as good and can be picked up for under £50

RE: 14/ Betty Harris and Lee Dorsey - love lots of loving (Sansu)

This was recently mentioned in the 'UK Little Labels' thread (it was on Buffalo here) & a youtube clip of it posted. Had the UK 45 for over 40 yrs now (not played it in years) ... but it does sound well good now.

yeah - i love it now, but when i first bought it, it didn't "click" with me. i burn all my new purchases to mp3s, and then randomly heard it on my iPod at the gym like 3 months later and was like "wow!"

i love when that happens!

Some really nice selections again there Martyn.Always liked that Geminis track i've got that one along with Can't Let You Go another goodun from them.Agree with you about William Bell

Here are another 8 better known but deffo underplayed records from me.Starting with the album track from Lou Coutney--Me And You Doing The Boogaloo--a real stormer.Then comes Willie Small with an old Stafford moover.Next a storming uptempo version of The Major's Aint No Soul From The Corvairs.The Dorothy Beery i payed a little over £50 for but think you could find one for less,brill track with a great flip.Then comes the awesome vocal R&B powerhouse from Irene & the Scotts.Elsie strongs version of Lennis Guess is a nice alternative.Gladys Knight fantastic Keele memories,and finally an underplayed version of Better Use Your Head By Robin Wilson

Some Nice stuff there Waggy,even though most are a bit mid tempo.Love the Naomi Wilson but last two i've seen for sale were at £100 .Original Larks would be hard to find for less than £50 also.But some great nighter sounds there

I just sold a Naomi Wilson in a soul pack for 100 quid Have look Patto

In the pack was A Pye demo of james brown Money wont change me that recently went on Manships for 90 quid and I cannot remeber the what else was in it.

Heres the link at the top of the page:

£20 quid is what I was asking for Naomi Wilson so I dont get the £100 quid jobs

Its a Great record that just doesn't seem to break through,the Flip is great too.First one i bought was £80 which i sold then i bagged a copy early this year for £60.Prices are all over the place at the Mo as you say,the top dealers are still asking top dollar though that never changes

Actually Patto IM more of a realist - Already had a German James Brown so I thought what the hell and the others were doubles and no use sitting on a shelf!

ok - i am hijacking this thread (sort of). i will be doing a small slot at a northern/club soul night in England next saturday, and it will be my first time DJing in england. i put this post up on the "all about soul" section, but got no responses. i am packing up my bags today, and need to choose my records.

the person who is having me spin said "play some newies, but also play stuff people know". i want to play to the crowd/event (in a town called barrow) - but honestly don't know what records are commonly known over there... will people know these songs? are they played to death? any comments or advice? i am friends with they guy running it and don't want to let the side down! these were all less than $50, so i guess these count! please help if you see this!

some things i am not sure about:

-dionne warwick - you can have him (scepter)

-leroy horne - don't come back (pompeii)

-darlettes - til i fell in love (shell)

-betty harris - trouble with my lover (sansu)

-teacho/students chills and fever (okeh)

-della reese - never my love (abc)

-jennie rae - to love (mgm)

-diamond joe - wait a minute baby (sansu)

-honey duo twins - comeback baby (yambo)

-lullabyes - you touch me (dimension)

-dean francis - tippin (hillside)

...and two gospel numbers...

-gospel ambassadors - cleansing power (halo)

-alston singers - i'm holding on (cobra)

I would class these as mod club soul sounds..not really northern.

that's fine. the flyer says "northern, club soul, and motown". i am bringing (what i think) are more "normal" northern songs as well to balance out - like: -

- chalfontes - he loves me

- opals - i'm so afraid

- dee dee warwick - don't ever give up on me

- lovells - my time to cry

- alder ray - my heart is in danger

- irma and fascinators - lost love/just a feeling (can't decide which side to play!)

- jim & lee - let go baby

....are these considered northern?

Thats more like it mate,this is deffo a Northern list.The Chalfontes always does well and the flip Cofessin' My Love is in favour at the moment.Irma is one of my faves Lost Love is the Side for Me,and Alder Ray is a great 100MPH dancer.
