:hatsoff2:  HI ALL....YES IT'S ME BACK (for how long) feeling much better, so thanks for all the nice comments sent, also thanks for staying with the RECORD CLUB thread WELL DONE,

As I am very late with picking a new theme, I thought it was time for us to pick the TOP Favourites of each member, ideally pick a 45 from your collection, that you feel that it is a must have record to own, not easy! as I'm aware that there are similar threads all over the WEB, that your choice will also include info that will help younger soul brothers & sisters will enjoy your pick,.

WHY WE NEED TO DO THS?  On Friday we had a Gas man at a guess he was in his mid 20s, call at our house, he could not contain himself after noticing my record room, he asked me many questions about the rare soul scene, as he had started going to local events & was going to the Blackpool weekender,

Never to miss a opportunity to play records, I put on a few classics for him, what surprised me was he did not know some & the ones he did he was unaware of the artist or title, in-fact he needed some education, (this is something that is missing from other threads, with a couple of exception, John Manships gives a great potted write up on all of his items that I really enjoy.)

A list of must haves as opposed to the top 500 records that Kev Roberts put together will differ by the fact it is record club members pick, not 1 persons view, although Kevs book is excellent, this will be if we can be a collectors guide & benefits the up & coming DJs of to-morrow,

I have put a few pictures of what I call classics, but for some off the younger people they are newies,

To kick of the thread I have picked a big sound from 1972 that would be classed as a TORCH MECCA classic,

SMASH RECORDS #S2111 - the AMBERS - "Potion of LOVE" b/w "Another LOVE".

Don't post on the record club very often, though I often 'lurk' - it's pretty much the best thing about SS.

 

This is a bit slow and shuffly for me, but it sneaked up on me from behind when I had the iPod on shuffle. I love it to bits...beautiful!

Quality post Stu.

Been thinking about those 4 o'clock in the morning type tunes that keep the dancers on the floor & drag a few out there seats & back onto the floor even though they are knackered,so here's one that certainly fit that bill.

The Dramatics-All Because Of You Sport Records

I like tunes like this but my little legs don't work to them,they end up in a tangle & more often then not I nearly end up on my arse......so I don't bother  :lol:

Well  I'm Going Back to Martyn's 4 A.M nighter spot think this may fit the bill

 

Patto

Brilliant tune,big nighter fave from a few years back.Can't believe what it goes for these days(£30+) as it was always a tenner.....certainly one the best tenners I've ever spent :thumbsup:

Cheers

Cheers Martyn Agree all time fave for me also.The world of 4 am is fantastic :yes:   wish i could do it more often these days

Looking at the wants posts on hear seems like everyone is after the Searling wigan playlist posted by Pete Smith yesterday.It is indeed a fantastic list of quality tunes and here is one from the list that i own and love

 

Patto

Tis indeed a playlist to die for & so many memories for me as around that time I was a massive Dickie S fan,along with many of the Hull crowd around that time.

Great oldie I'd forgotten about :thumbsup:

Here's the only one I've got on the list & a tune I associate more with Pat Brady more then RS........strange how the memory plays tricks?

Wilbur Walton Jr-Twenty Four Hours Of Loneliness 123

Cheers Martyn Agree all time fave for me also.The world of 4 am is fantastic :yes:   wish i could do it more often these days

Patto

I think even if you don't do nighters anymore I think you can still have that "nighter mentality" & view music slightly differently.Not done many nighters this year & I really miss them,very different animal from soul night no matter how good they are..........can't wait for Lifeline in December.

Cheers

Martyn

Manhattans - "All i need is your love"

Kev

Great cheapie,should be a monster.

Cheers

Martyn

I may have played this previously but it's one which came into my mind earlier. Ann Nesby and the Sounds of Blackness - I'm Going All The Way.

 

Check out some of their albums - brilliant stuff.

Hi Alan

 

Didn't know that!  :huh:

 

Peter

I used to play this when i dj'd in the nightclubs and bars in and around Leeds in the late 70's/80's I would hazard a guess that they got their name from that epic sci fi film Blade Runner? Another from around that period that i still enjoy Is Yo Yo Honey

Edited by DeeJay

I'm still enjoying digging out tunes that used to do the trick at nighters for the dancers around 4am.

Not massive plays for this one but do remember Robbo giving plenty of plays at one time.Great example of an underplayed tune just right for reactivation?

The Four Shells- Reputation Volt

Edited by hullsoul

One that's having a massive renascence at the moment,a tune that always used to ram the floor at any nighter & still does today.

The Paramount Four- You Don't Know Southern City

Great choice Lawrence - samples Sam Fletcher and always works well when I play it out . There's also another version ,('I've been thinking') currently unreleased , owned , produced and played from an acetate by Jay Cee . Hopefully he'll give it a spin at the Manhattan next Sat. imo edges Lack of Afro with stronger vocals . https://m.soundcloud.com/jasonsaxo/ive-been-thinking
