Got the vinyl out last night along with a few cold Peroni, and thought I'd post up my playlist.

What's on your current home decks? Modern vibe for me last night, sounded fantastic on the old cans - volume increased in line with beers consumed so ears shot this morning

Mass Syndicate feat Su Su Bobien - You don't know (M.A.S. Collective Gospel Club Mix) (FFRR 12")

Rhythm Section feat Donald O - Do you know (MAW 12")

Kimiesha Holmes - Ups and Downs (Yellorange 12")

Four Tops - I just can't get you out of my mind (Probe)

Willie Hutch - Let's try it over again (RCA)

Dionne Warwicke - Move me no mountain (WB)

Salena Jones - Am I the same girl (CBS)

Les McCann - Sad little girl (Limelight)

Johnny Bristol - Love no longer has a hold on me (Handshake)

Clydene Jackson - I need your love (Crossover)

Renee Geyer - Be there in the morning (RCA)

Leroy Hutson - Right or Wrong (RSO)

Blood Hollins feat Jean Lang - How have you been (RCA 12")

Bo & Ruth - You're gonna get next to me (EMI LP version)

I had a little time to myself this evening, and was able to spin a few from a random box -

Chuck Woods - Seven Days Too Long

Deon Jackson - all On a Sunny Day / Carla - actually spun both sides

Billy Butler & Chanters - My Heart is Hurtin'

Barbara Brown - Forget Him

Barbara Greene - Young Boy

Miracles - Shop Around with the Tamla lines

then the dog started barking, somehow ended up picking a few from outside the boix

Willie Tee - Thank You John

Bobby Bland - A Piece of Gold

then back top the random box to end on some latin

Pete Rodriguez - Delusion

'Eddie Palmieri - Chocolate Ice Cream

Usual mix of recent buys, long time favourites, a few b sides and an absolute left fielder I heard on a podcast but could never find again which took me ages to find in the charity shops after wading through hundreds of the usual Val Doonican, Johnny Mathis, Classical etc, if you play it on youtube you'll probably think why bother but I quite like it, not a regular play by any means but it has a certain charm, and no self isolation isn't making me lose my mind, not yet anyway

Not posted on here for ages so thought I'd list what I played on Sat night - outdoors with the fire pit, few ales, bottle of Redbreast Irish Pot Still 15, couple of smokes and a 2am finish - fantastic night, proper across the board selection. Doesn't look loads of tunes but played some three or four times for maximum enjoyment 😁

Jeff Perry - Love don't come no stronger (Arista, early version)
The Chimes - Beginning of my life (Down to Earth)
Almeta Lattimore - These memories (Mainstream)
Jimmey 'Soul' Clark - (I'll be your champion) I'll be your winner (Soul Hawk)
Phillip James - Wide awake in a dream (Soul)
Merle Spears - I want to know (Whit)
T.N.J's - Don't forget about me (Chess)
Sandra Feva - Just to be close to you (Venture)
Windy City - We party heavy up in heah (Innovation II)
Ola Onabule - Soul Town (Disco Soul Gold)
Jeffree - Love Loan (Expansion Special Reserve)
Boris Gardiner - More than words can say (Bronco)
The Supremes - Up the ladder to the roof (Tamla Motown)
Clara Ward - The right direction (MGM)
Ray Merrell - Tears of joy (Jay Boy boot)
Stanley Woodruff - What took you so long (Juldane)
Lou Rawls - You'll never find another love like mine (PIR)
Gladys Knight & The Pips - Landlord (Columbia)
Robert Parker - I caught you in a lie (Nola)

For what it's worth, and IMHO Sandra Feva could and should be a huge main room tune (assuming it isn't already and I've missed it) - any thoughts?

 

Agree, that Sandra Feva is a great tune, a truly great singer. Nice selection you played, bet you had a great night.
