Popular Post Chalky Posted March 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2014 Bit of time so thought I'd digitise a tape or two. Here is one from September 1992 that Rob Marriott gave men of his then current biggies. https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/rob-marriott-tape-recording-september-1992/ 10 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Absolutely Phil, got a copy, but its now in Gaz Simons loft, lost tracklisting years ago, can you remember who the awesome "Baby, Baby Don't You Do It" is by, I think it was an unissued Harthon Philly thing, Chris told me who it was a couple of years ago but I have forgot Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) It is Searling's and Gary Rushbrooke's old Leo Wright and the ElBejays cover up. Actually the Barons of Soul. Came out on the Outta Sight label couple of years ago under wrong name. Edited March 23, 2014 by chalky 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yep me too, he posted it bless him. That's why Rob did more (for me) for the scene than any other big name DJ of that time. Never thought of himself anything other than one of us (unlike some), always willing to share his knowledge about records, not only through talking but by taking the time to do tapes. Great times indeed 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Polyvelts Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The barons of soul 'baby don't you do it' here is so much better than united four 'version' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The barons of soul 'baby don't you do it' here is so much better than united four 'version' Which one is Barons of Soul and which one is the United Four c/up? IMO the version with the trumpet intro is crap. The other is brill. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

In 93 or so he made me two tapes with many of Rob's biggies plus a few assorted oldies. These tapes really shaped my taste in 60's soul. Thank you Rob (and Chris) 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Shsdave Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Haven't been able to get on here for two days so can't wait to have a listen to these tonight Thanks Chalky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 As far as I am aware both versions of "Baby Don't You Do It" are the same group just different takes. As far as I know it was credited to the Untied Four as that is who it was assumed to be, wrongly so I was told. I was told it was The Barons Of Soul, it was written by the group or one of its members at the least. Searling and Rushbrooke both had it first now I'm not sure if they had the different takes or one of the same? Rob probably got it from Jimmy Wensiora at a guess...or one of his dodgy cuts?

Chalky Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Haven't been able to get on here for two days so can't wait to have a listen to these tonight Thanks Chalky Pleasure Dave. Both have been quite popular. I have one more of Rob's with a few different bits on so I will transfer and upload. I also have two from Chris with some choice bits on!

Benji Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Don't think I have either but wouldn't mind a listen. I just had a look in the record room, no result * I'm afraid it looks like they're stored away at my parent's. Will take some time till I get my hands on that stuff. But from what I recall, inlay of vol1 was green, vol2 was light brown. * but what i found was a tape I did from John Powney's DJ box back in 1995. will post a track list in the John Powney thread. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Labeat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Had some great nights at Rob's Mansfield venue... Polish club, Trotters First 2 hours of Rare stuff, last 2 hours of oldies.

Eventually managed to find vol1 and vol2 of the Marriott's Detroit tapes. Vol2 is missing the original inlay, just a typed tracklisting, here it is: Connie Van Dyke - Don't do nothing I wouldn't do The Metros - Since I found my baby The Lollipops - Loving good feeling Arabians - Please take a chance on me Bob & Fred - I'll be on my way Martha Starr - I'm lonely Jimmy Ruffin - Don't feel sorry for me Four Gents - Young girls beware George Freeman - Down and out Sea Shells - Quiet home Appreciations - It's better to cry Soulettes - Bring your fine self home Four Voices - Your love is getting stronger Gwen Owens - I lost a good thing Magnetics - Heart you're made of stone Jackie Beavers - Love that never grows cold Steve Mancha - Did my baby call Gwen Owens - Mystery man Diane Lewis - you ain't got a chance Lee Rogers - Sock some love power to me Lorraine Chandler - Tell me you're mine Emanuel Laskey - Don't lead me on Rose Batiste - I just can't leave you Melvin Davis - I must love you Debonaires - Loving you takes all of my time Doni Burdick - Bari track I know some mistakes among them, i.e. George Freeman and Diane Lewis C/up aren't Detroit. But great stuff nevertheless Here's a scan of vol1's tracklist: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
