Top Tips For 2014


Recommended Posts

Happy new year all

Here's one that I don't know much about

From 1988 don't know whether it's been played out anywhere or not any road it floats my boat

Sonny Holly - Cheating Ain't No Good-

Cash Money

 

That's from my Youtube channel :thumbsup:

Sonny Holly was played quite a lot in London as a new release. John Ridley has a page on him on his web site https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/H/sonny_holley/index.php

 

I thought I saw an An-Gel release of "Cheating" a while back, but now I'm not too sure.....

A new (1982 lol) tune in my box that will be played out at every opportunity is Terry Callier - Don't Wanna See Myself......wow !

 

That ones so obscure that it's only been reissued in the UK twice ..... on a 12" (Acid Jazz) in 1990 and on a 7" (Acid Jazz again) in 2006.

So far these are all known oldies - and have all been played on the modern / crossover scene.

 

Mmmmmmmmm :g:

 

Think you're absolutely right Steve.

 

So is that it then folks?

 

It's official?... there are no new sounds?

 

The well is dry?

 

:)

 

We've always managed a 100 or so in previous years!

 

As a quick lookback, here's what folks came up with the first time we did this in 2007.

 

Did any of them make it?

 

:thumbsup:

Make it?  Most had made it many years before.  I can't believe most of the 2007 list was suggested, most were oldies and had been played for years.  Unless you were new to the scene in 2007 you would have heard them. Those that weren't regular plays was probably because they weren't good enough.

That isn't true. You clearly misunderstood what that thread(s) is/was about.

 

If you want to try and score petty points then at least try and get your facts straight.

The instrumental flip Soul for Sale was a Wigan/Manchester Ritz spin for sure. Probably other places too.

 

Yes,but the vocal not so much played.Oh well thought it might fit in well for today's scene.

Here's my recent tip anyhow. Soulful midtempo I've played for a while now that deserves broader acceptance.

A previously unreleased Chess / Muscle Shoals track (only Vinyl imprint is Japanese).

Bobby Moore 'Can't Get Away'.

:thumbsup:

I thought this one was meant to be kept a secret..... :shhh:

My second tip is another 'marmite' track. It's a cover version of Millie Jacksons House For Sale. Now I know what you're thinking, Man's gone mad but I actually prefer this version from New Zealands Mark Williams to Millie's original. Just listen to the sax break half way through it - To die for IMO. Also quite scarce as it only got released in New Zealand & the odd few that were out there have now been snapped up. Also know it's a favourite of Stevie G as well :D

 

 

Hi Cunnie, if you see anyone playing this abomination of a lame cover version - please throw a full pint of beer at the DJ…..on my account. :D:

Absolute garbage.

If you think I'm going to waste money on a pint to pour over my own head you got another think coming Steve, obviously forgetting I'm a Yorkshireman.

I did say in advance it was a marmite track.

Well said that man - If someone puts a record up they wanna hear 'out 'n' about' next year (They're tip), that some may have heard 20 odd years ago, I don't think it a hanging offence.....Yes, 'it's' been done - well let's do 'it' again shall we?!!!

 

 

Words of Wisdom. Thank God for some common sense

 

Just randomly grabbed this off the shelf - What a f*ckin' record!

 

'Leon Haywood - You Don't Have To See Me Cry'

 

Great choice Len

FFS, stop being so patronizing. Ever since we did the Top Tips for 20xx threads somebody said xx and xx are well known records, no top tips. There's no need for that. How about just reading what everybody else posts, if you know it already ignore it. If you don't have a listen and make a mental note if you like it.

 

Because its a debating forum and if i want to comment I will do so.  I was simply passing comment because the choices were surprising with a large majority of the 2007 list being well known at the time and had been for a lot of years, many for 15/20 years plus, if you don't like that then tough sh*t.  You are as patronising as anyone at times on topics on here.
