Hi Sean

 

Yep, this is a cracker. Heard you spin this on some show or another!

 

Hope yer well matey.

 

Peter

 

:thumbsup:

 

Cheers Peter, yes that's right. Have played it on the Radio and various gigs over the past 18 months.

 

A few others are picking up on it and I feel it could well go on, at least in crossover circles, to be a classic.

 

Hope you're well too buddy!

 

All the best for 2014.

 

:thumbsup:

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?!!!

 

I really do think I'll be off on my long awaited 'Northern Soul Gap Year' very soon - I hope to see some of you on my return (If I bother) :wink: 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Len :thumbsup: 

 

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

 

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

 

ENJOY!

Another I picked up of Fish at the same time is The Dynamites feat Charles Walker (Little Charles).  "Still Can't Get You Out Of My Heart"  came out on the album "Love Is Only Everything.  But the flip of the 45 I didn't know as it only came out on the US take of the album or so I believe. "Get Up On Living"  is a great little number from the band.  

 

Have a listen at https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-detail////The+Dynamites+feat.+Charles+Walker/Still+Can%27t+Get+You+Out+Of+My+Heart++Get+Up+On+Living/vinyl/3981

 

I doubt either of the above will go big but I'm not sure many tips will get a spin on todays scene let alone go big.

 

That 'Get Up On Living' is a really good tip Chalky.

 

The sort of thing that'll come back and bite in 2-3 years!

 

Nice one.

 

:thumbsup:

Some lovely stuff there.

 

Great contribution Dave, in the true spirit of the thread.

 

Someone with his ear to the ground and more than willing to share.

 

Cheers, :hatsoff2:

One I don't think has had much exposure yet and has been out for a good six months .

NOTATIONS - THAT GIRL (CASH )

A previously unreleased cut that was pressed up by those great guys at Numero .

A great 45 for peanuts :)

Surprisingly no YouTube clip ,so apologies if this contravenes any rules ?

Excellent Tip Nev.

i can't find a youtube of the numero 94 east 45 but you can hear it hear:

 

https://www.numerogroup.com/products/94-east-if-you-see-me-bw-games

 

it's totally different than this version which i guess has prince on vocal:

edit: here's a little better sample of the numero version:

I agree with you Mark these topics can be a great way to pick up something you don't know or even slipped you by.  I only commented on the 2007 list as I was surprised to see so many that were already well established at then time, some over many years.  Sean also asked the question did any of them make it, I answered as I said  :thumbsup:

Anyway been some good tips so far, especially the new releases/discoveries.

Its not all about finding and owning big ticket rare records!

 

Spot on Nev. And definitely in the spirit of the thread.

 

As we state at the outset 'It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves. It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just have what it takes to become a monster!

 

And more in recent times, I think we could add 'it could be a recent release that's been laying dormant for decades or something recently recorded that simply has the right 'sound'.

 

Excellent stuff.

 

Cheers.

 

:thumbsup:

At a risk of being shot down,here's one from 2012 that has still got potential to be bigger, given time.

 

Willie West - "She's so wise" - Timmion.(only part recorded.).

Yup same here mate (over 20 years actually) :P I don't think it was ever played to death though, so this 'random grab' may have reminded some (myself included) how good it is once again :thumbsup: 

 

I think maybe some got the impression that this thread is for complete newies only, when it is actually 'top tips' (which could be anything) It's back on track now anyway, good thread that it is :wink:

 

All the best,

 

Len :thumbsup:

The 'How can I be sure' side sounded great at New Year, Marc. dare I say better than the original !!!!!, which I've never been a great fan of.

I would also add my Judy Freeman & Black Rock Cover, which I've been playing for a few years now.  Don't think it will remain under the paper much longer this year, due to another copy surfacing recently, but a great tune none the less -

That New Love track is superb Russ  :thumbsup:  Nice one matey HNY !

 

Swifty :wink:

I am not inviting any kind of negative debate when I say this, its purely a personal observation, I think there have been some crackin tunes posted so far, but very few of them would be suitable for an Allnighter IMVHO, some mixed in cleverly by very good DJ's could make it, most wouldn't....having said that, most would sound great at a Modern/Crossover Night....

 

Best Russ
