Impossible to choose. Such a broad spectrum of music is represented.

A particular fave of mine is the little mentioned Wally Cox 'other version' of "This Man"

My big regret was missing the Hytones anniversary as I had to work last minute!

They all look very nice in the box however. ( he said smugly)

Carla Thomas - Poptastic, Simon, normally all your posts are spot on but on naughty step for me with that one.

 

That record reminds me of just the best times of life, and the communal joy that was in the 100 Club when it was played over the years was immense, and even at the party it still touches and tingles,  but at time of its initial plays it just took you to another place and all the other cliches about the dance floor experience. Its a feeling that drags people back week in and week out, if you still get it. I suspect due to age, cynicism and apathy I will never get that feeling again. Which sometimes hurts to think off. But every time I listen to it, it takes me back there, and I put the gin down and just smile.

 

Even playing it at Allanton, which was way past its first plays, it had the place buzzing, and smiling. The best last record, that I always played 4th or 5th last to start the journey to the end. 

 

So just in case there is any doubt. That is the best. You lot can carry on debating what is second best.

Being busy and narrowing it down:

  • Melba Moore - thumper
  • Carla Thomas - too perfect
  • Chuck Jackson - sublime
  • Teardrops - stomper
  • Sharon Scott - underrated
  • Dean Courtney - classic
  • Lorraine Chandler - can't be bettered
  • San Franciscan TKO's - bass
  • Debra Johnson - recorded what year?
  • Diplomats - genre topping
  • Magicians - northern soul
  • Hytones - almost standard

 

nuff said.

Chuck Jackson been in and out of my playbox ever since its birth as an anniversary single - top tune

Also love Charmaines and my current Favourite is Stutterin Sam.

Thanks to Ady for the great tunes over the years, my annual anguish is that I won't be able to get the new single.
