not only is thursday bin day its the day before friday

looks like a quality weekend ahead

Lifeline, Orwell, etc

anyway after bit of a overdose from the oldies bunch how about a bit of a look forward from those at the sharp end of northern in 2006

gotta be a fair few of you out there behind decks this weekend

so how about giving us a few highlights of what you got lined up, fresh stuff gonna give a go, any head turners , latest captures that finally got hold off, ones not sure about , suprising revivals ...etc etc

get a bit of fresh air in here

yeah it has been a bit of an oldies fest in here of late. all this talk of played out oldies and baggy trousers etc is no good 'in the long run' (whoops another oldie! )

well i am off to the orwell this friday for the first time. can any of you kind folk let us all know some tunes that are big at the orwell in recent times or maybe one ot two for the future?

let's hear something different!

cheers

Shane

Well,

I'll be behind the decks on tuesday (Halloween allnighter) at the Heart of Italy Soul Club in Colle Val d'Elsa (Siena) in the middle of Chiantishire... Our guest will be the SS member Malc Burton.

Was thinking to spin that Johnnie Williams on Bashie (already discussed here), the Ronnie Forte's flip of "Whiskey Talking" (already discussed here), got a brand new Carol & Gerri (bought thru this forum), the Spidells "Pushed Out Of The Picture" (already discussed here). Then my usual selection including the Ringleaders (already discussed here)...

WHAT CAN I DO WITHOUT THIS FORUM...???

Roccia

P.S. For the first time in my life I'll play a record under C/U...

Edited October 26, 200619 yr by Roccia

OK

I'll stick me toe in.

Not claiming these to be Rarest of the rare or most upfront ever, but they deserve airing and will be played at Heywood.

Jay Lewis-- Should I come back

Nate Holmes -- You're Still on my Mind

The Jerms--- I am a Teardrop

Bobbettes--- Tighten Up your own Home.

Tony

The Jerms--- I am a Teardrop

Nice one. It deserves more spins...

Roccia

OK

The Jerms--- I am a Teardrop

Brilliant!...hope this goes down well, great dancer, should be played a lot more imo.

Simon

Well after change of plans, was heading to lifeline but now its going to be Middleton, so looking forward to hearing Mr Willingams cover ups.......havent a clue what some are calle d

The Jerms--- I am a Teardrop

Herd this on Bradys a month or so ago, seemed quite good, thinking of picking one up myself for a spin hear and there, only cheap too, nice looking label

yeah it has been a bit of an oldies fest in here of late. all this talk of played out oldies and baggy trousers etc is no good 'in the long run' (whoops another oldie! )

Shane

I love the Orwell...musically it's the best place for me as the emphasis is on crossover and the more modern stuff that I prefer. And the people aren't full of their own self importance banging on about how exclusive or rare everything is Plus, en route, you can go and worship at the old casionnnoooo Station Rd site if you're so inclined I know Steve Cato did last time he was down....

Bobbettes - nice choice Tony, also played on t'uther side of the world. First time I've heard anyone else mention it, a 'proper' NS dancer.

I keep trying to break the Versatones "With A Broken Heart" on Magic City but its hard yards. Reckon it would make my top 20.

Cheers

Pete Down Under

I know Karen

but the others were going middleton so im off with them, was looking forward to Lifeline as it had a more 60's pressence of DJ's for this one lined up. i shall be giving Andy Mccabe a slapped wrist and then Chalky Mick and Andy one too for putting their nights on the same night

Back to topic to tie in with lifeline, wonder if Mick will be spinning the 'hey girl' cover up, what did you think to it when i played it at peircebridge Karen? i love it, but that dont mean its any good seemed to get a few up for it

all off topic posts deleted.

the boss man started a serious thread to help get this site talking about rare soul again.

there must be some dj's out there who are playing somewhere at one of the many events this weekends??

what tunes are you giving a spin that may not have been played for a while or maybe you have something you think will be one for the future???

cheers

Shane

Hey Shane

Friday at The Orwell is a 'missing Yarmouth' one room special, so the emphasis will be on quality 70's & Crossover..........although there'll be some quality 60's played for sure!

btw The two room Orwell/Soul Shack returns on the 24th Nov when Mr Bicknell (amongst others) will be in attendance dropping those tasty things he plays on a Sunday night!

Back to the thread, personally, new (old) stuff wise, just got a couple of tasty new CD's from David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks which have just been released on CD by Motown via Hip-O-Select in the US. There's approx 20 previously unreleased tracks on them circa '69-'72 and they sound a bit tasty. Not decided which to go with yet (only got them today and have only quickly skimmed them - one's a double and the other a treble CD) but will certainly be giving something off them a spin. If there's owt as good as the 'Four Tops - Clip my wings' or 'David Ruffin - I won't be hurt anymore' from the last batch of Motown/Hip-O-Select offerings we'll be all in for a treat

Hope this is the sort of thing you're looking for in this thread?

Cheers

Steve

Plus, en route, you can go and worship at the old casionnnoooo Station Rd site if you're so inclined I know Steve Cato did last time he was down.... ..

Many thanks for the comments re - The Orwell, much appreciated

Actually, just thought................maybe we should do organised tours of The Casino site on Station Road as there are a few old casino regulars frequent The Orwell who would be willing to be your guides

...........i'll get me coat

S

cheers steve. anyone other dj's wanna do the same?

Did a pilgrimage to the casino site in Wigan last year on the road to Fleetwood weekender...

A security guard of a building nearby told us: "Yes, the place was there... They were all into drugs..."

Roccia

Permenant Injury - Bryson Bay Band -

Especially for Ken

Paul Burton - So Very Hard To Make It

Rock with me. Aretha Franklin Top tune, been hammering this around the worcester area for a while now, always gets someone peeking over the decks to check who it is, should be a monster.

rob h.

Apart from MITTY COLLIER - MY PARTY to which I have mentioned in another thread, I rate this stunning piece from JACKEY BEAVERS - BRING ME BACK ALL YOUR HEARTACHES It will certianly get an airing from me at The Gambian Dayer

Mike Charlton is spinning this at the Orwell as well fantastic tune.

Killer tune that Aretha..........

TJ dropped it at last Orwell too, sounded ace

Looking forward to hearing Mike tonight

Cheers

Steve

Ooh i hope we don't disappoint you..........the 'real' Northern night is the next two roomer in November!

But by Modern, in this instance we mean late 60's (mainly) 70's and maybe the odd early 80's thing...................hope you like it!

Cheers

Steve

Fookin ell..................the David Ruffin CD is IMMENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13 unreleased tracks ALL brilliant!

There's a couple of versions of known tunes and a number of brill Northern dancers (incl one potential MONSTER), a few crossover dancers and a couple of mid tempo things - total brilliance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's even a track written by Duke Browner which was originally intended for The Volumes which was re-assigned to DR - that's brill too!!!

Problem is which track to play tonight????????????

btw The Eddie Kendricks has 7 unreleased tracks, mainly nice ballads but there's a tasty mid tempo track from 1972 worth playing too!

Cheers

Steve

Killer tune that Aretha..........

TJ dropped it at last Orwell too, sounded ace

Steve

Written By Curtis Mayfield, performed by Aretha--don't get much better, gotta feel of Jazz Freak-- Paullette Reeves doncha think???

Another 1 well worthy of mention, which I've been playing for a while (Thanks to Rick Warburton for the tip),and will be next week, is yet another Gem from the pen of Van McCoy.

No Trespassin'---Faith, Hope and Charity-- which if you don't know it bears a similarity to The Ad Libs-- Nothing worse than Being Alone.

This deserves some serious action.

ATB

Tony

Hows about some for this weekend then?????

Tony

Hi Steve,

Great track,picked it up quite cheap yonks ago on a UK Atlantic single.Strange one this as it has large hole as in US import and doesn't look like it ever had a middle.

Other side is The House That Jack Built.

Regards

Dave.

Hi Dave,

Re' the large hole, Polydor began to release their singles like this in the late sixties early seventies, they had a push in plastic adaptor, don't know why they changed the format though.

Derek.

well the weekend is approaching again

any of you dj's out there going to be playing something new/forgotten/interesting tunes?
