Top Tips For 2013


Recommended Posts

Oh, ok then Sean; you’ve talked me into it.... :D

My sound for 2013 is this, ‘Billy Stewart - Count Me Out — Chess’

I'd be very surprised if this hasn't had an 'airing' at some venues before, but I haven't heard it out or at least I don't remember anyway - Out of interest, please let me know if someone else has 'championed' this and where they played it, I’d guess Bretby would be a good contender.

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

It used to be a regular spin at Bretbty.... but well worth a few more plays...too good to keep on the shelf

I thought it sounded 'Bretbyish'.....Sorry Cliff, looks like another of your's I'm 're-championing' - Take it as a compliment :D

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

Not one of mine Len, I can't remember who played it at the time, but it was doing the rounds on tapes for quite a while before Bretby.

For the slightly funkier floors, here's Margaret Moss and the Three Stars.

Could you please keep quiet about this till I've found a copy, Greg! :ohmy:

Sorry, mate....I'll keep my eyes open for ya ;)

as this is so very much similar to sam & dave`s "hold on I`m coming" I wonder if this was some sort of gospel standard which was used by Volt Records to create a "million" selling record or if its the other way around and Margaret Moss used a familiar and popular backing line to create a Gospel record ? ´

This is what I'll be hammering down under this year, a full throttle NS 60s dancer. Not sure if it gets any exposure on the UK circuit?

Les Femmes - Closer - Power Pack

Cheers........Pete

Can't get the pictures to paste but

Les Femmes - Closer - Power Pack is PP100

& Les Femmes - This I Swear is also Power Pack PP100 but slighly different takes on the Label Designs?

I heard this a few years ago but came across a copy when in Canada last year, it has it's gospel tinge but still makes a mark on me :thumbsup:

Wow, you're the first person I've met who has heard of this! - I got it in the mid 80's and tried to play it on the Mod Scene a couple of times, but it never really worked 'out' - It's a great record though.

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

Yeah, it's an absolute rip of 'Hold on....' without a doubt, mate. Definitely a case of a gospelized classic, possibly for more secular appeal, or just borrowing a riff for accessibility.

Got put onto this cracking old skool 60's dancer by Gloucester's finest recently - old Rob Marriott c/u apparently. Would be good to see it take off again - although think someone told me it's had plays in Burnley or somewhere similar recently?

John - didn't this have two label variations - one on yellow power pac and another design? Rare (and brill) record by all accounts.

One i'll be spinning this year. 60's dancer that i first heard from Adam Topping at the Euro weekender in Manchester last year.

It's only a cheapie but an elusive little bugger to find. Probably a marmite record, and i hate marmite, but love this!

this is good rich , really like it. and even dont know what it is which makes it even more interesting to me.

Liked this tune for along time Azza so good to hear your championing it (an old cleethorpes I'm informed??)

Another nice tune by Mr Ferguson is "There Is A Gift" on pompeii :yes:

He was initially a kiddie james brown impersonator. There was some pretty excellent footage from a tv show (not sure what) where he was 6 years old and doing JB, it was on youtube for a while.

Here's another that should have gone absolutely massive by now, I had it covered up for a while (For a bit of fun!) I suppose ‘September Jones - I'm Coming Home' took 'Centre Stage' over it, but this is so powerful :yes:

'BILLY SHA-RAE - DO IT'

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

AND---It's Cheap :thumbup:

'Premium Stuff' posted it on Post Number 135 - I didn't know that version.

Thanks for sharing anyway.

Fair enough,

but if they'd stick a couple words on when they post Youtube clips, for those of us firewalled, :dash2: I'd have seen it...

Nevertheless, it's a cracker :yes:
