HI BROTHERS & SISTERS, May I wish all of you the very best for 2016, & I for one am so glad to see the back of 2915, after at times feeling so ill & in constant pain,  as you may be aware I have completely neglected the thread for most of the year, more of that later, but first can I thank those of you who have kept the club running through out 2015, .

Do I need to explained the rules are so simple, 10 you must own the record on vinyl to make a posting, 20 hopefully your choice will be a 45 seldom played or new to the forum, 30 any comments made should be about the record nothing else, 4) this thread is not for selling records or for promotion of events please/

The first record of 2016 is from C L Blasthttps://youtu.be/qstR_oUoT-k  A great bit of soul my copy cost £10 but have seen it sell for £100+ HOPE YOU LIKE this 5 STAR rated 45 KTF in 2016....DAVE K

The 2004 UK release on Real Side is deemed acceptable to play out as it is the only release. Notwithstanding that I should be ok spinning in at home anyway!

 

This one by the Jackson Five is the best £2 I have spent for many years - dare I say it is better than Smokey's version?

 

i was spinning this one earlier tonight:

 

Thumper!   ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

 

bit of old school , barbara mason / keep him artic label

 

Picked up the Capitols We Got a Thing on ATCO in a record shop in Greenwich last week, for £11. Pulled it out because they had a cover of Open The Door To Your Heart, among others, actually really good versions of Hold on I'm Coming and Knock On Wood which pleased me when I played it back at home. 

Then on the end of side two I found this beauty, and it's never been off the turntable since:

The LP is spot on from start to finish, happiest purchase this year so far :-)

Hi All....Is it my PC or has this thread got really slow to load?  Well here is a record that I have had since it was sent to me back in the 7ts, many of the Motown releases I use to take to the KGB Club & sell to Nev Wherrey RIP, but not this one, thank GOD, has this been forgotten over the years, I hope so, then you can all go hunting for a copy this weekend, if it has been played to death then sorry, but give it a revive 45 spot next time you are behind the wheels of steel' 

As such even though I have got about 75 45s this month I have played it every day, SO IT'S FROM MOTOWN TO YOUR TOWN, WITH MY PICK OF THE MONTH OF MARCH 2016......THE MAN FROM MOTOWN.........

SMOKEY ROBINSON...."THEME FROM BIG TIME PT1"......MOTOWN TMG 1085. A ***** RATED 45 BY ME DAVE K

ENJOY THIS IF YOU AIN'T GOT A COPY OR IT'S NEW TO YOUR LUG HOLES, ALRIGHT NOT HALF!....KTF DK.

MY COPY  I DON'T NO IF YOU CAN SEE? BUT IT HAS ONE OF THE LONGEST MATRIX OF ANY OF MY OTHER TMG'S.

 

https://youtu.be/jFuocNSZ668

Recent release from Sister Cookie . Her take on Willie Jones 'where's my money' . 

Great version imo. 

 

My fave version of that Barbara Mason track from a page back. Probably too fast/too garage-y for some, but I love it.

 

 

Just bought an Ike & Tina LP & it's got a great re-working of "Dust My Broom"(anyone know if they brought this out on 45?)

Ike & Tina Turner-I Believe

Would you believe there is a second cut/mix of this by her on the label and it truly IS awful.

Yes I have come across it.........unfortunately

Just sorting out the playbox for 'Dekka's Roots Room' at the Manhattan (Harrogate) alldayer this Sat . Recon this one will get an airing ...

Ray Camacho and the Teardrops 'she's so good to me' (ARV) 

 

HI ALL Can I thank  you all for your postings & the quality of the chosen records,  I read a comment about how low the club has fallen this year, why this is so I can't work out, I can only say why I don't post on a regular basis, a)

It's taken 20 minutes to get to be able to write a posting? shall I start a new thread??????

Hi All hope all is OK,  looking back at the Bobbi Lynn B side Opportunity Street, I had a Stateside copy, but being nieve I swapped it for the BELL Copy thinking Bell was the 1st release, anyway the B side was played pre Wigan but got lost, it's a great record, & it should remind you all to play the B sides of your records,

I see on John Manships Auction page, there is one of my fave rave sleepers, a record that has never been pressed or bootlegged, not sure of it's value at guess £80, but who can predict prices of quality Northern Soul 45s these days?

the record is Patti Williams - "I'm doing the best I can" sorry I have not downloaded the track, but it's on Manships & YOU CHUBE.

If I was DJing this would be on my current playlist as the true value has yet to be assessed, KTF

THERE YOU GO!
