Hope you guy's have had a great Xmas & New Year 

Mike has asked a regular of SSRC to put up a new thread for this year so i'd thought i would start this years 

I'll try & keep the rules of thread simple

NO putting records up for sale through this thread 

Only post records that you own  thanks 

We do like all aspects of the soul scene so just go for it has they say 

 

So here's my 1st of the year

That's pretty cool old fella. 

Just joking mate. One of those nice dance tracks that you can do the "cocky, posing, lazy" style of dancing to.

Hope all is well Martyn.

bit of disco , valantine brothers / we belong together , source records , this is the long version

 

Had this a while now, cheap as chips but absolutely love it

Don't know much about it but Dee Dee carries it off brilliantly.

Only ever heard it played out once & it was me playing it. Lol

another bit of midweek madness...

 

Nice piece of southern soul from me today 

Issued on Hi in US & London in UK mine is UK London Demo 

George Jackson - Aretha,Sing One For Me 

Atb Kev 

Going a bit mod, would love a UK copy, which is more collectable than the French Fontana EP.

The V.I.P. 's "Straight To The Bottom" Island UK/ Fontana France:

 

 

I love the brass arrangement on this

 

A bit of soul man O V Wright from me tonight - a cover, and album only. The strongest version in my opinion. 

 

This is great to play in the car on the way home, however shite a day you've had this is guaranteed to cheer you up.  Carole King, Phil Spector, and Darlene Love....what a brilliant combination!

The above song by the Blossoms produced by Spector plus Bob Bateman and Ron Moseley and Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich who produced this beauty from the best ever girl group The Shangri-Las, puts an end really to any ideas that Motown and Soul were a black idea! Who ever came up with the idea that Northern came from 'Sugar-Pie honey bunch?'

still some for sale martyn , was suprised go on timmion recordswebsite , lots of other good stuff , just had a spending spree on there , by a yorkshiremans standard though , lol , so bugger all really

Another from Timmion . This one from 2007 has been re issued , (presumably originally a ltd edition) ,  due to demand . Got the original but never got round to playing  at the Dekkas Roots Room sessions - tho in hindsight guess it would have gone down well .

That's very nice of you to say.

There aren't very many Northern Soul birders (of the feathered variety) about.

Regards

You'd be surprised, there's a couple that are serious birders, Steve and Martyn, I'm more into plants and butterflies, but there are others too.

spelling mistake

Sold my last copy of this today...

 

Here's one for Valentine's day . Shouldn't cost a lot but worth every penny.

Bobby Sheen - I Want You For My Sweetheart. - Dimension

 

 

classic oldie that you never tire of , genaral johnson / dont walk away . arista records

 

Lovely atmospheric tune and the best version. just had a witter in another thread about Trade Martin needing a look at by some of the compilers of CD's the man did so much.

 

 

Sandy Barber ' I Think I'll Do Some Stepping (On My Own) (Opolopo Rework) ' 

 

 

Best version imo , only came out on a 10'' single sided demo and reputedly only 10 in existence . Mark Randle has one , ones in Australia , not sure where the other 7 are as apart from Mark and I seems silent on playlists etc  

The only way is up, collect ability wise, I reckon.

Written by Biddu, one of his better ones.

Moon Williams I can't live without you Dick James Music (DJM) - not the best voice in the world though.

I have another version in the collection somewhere, might recall what it is someday:

 

Not posted for ages so keeping The Northern oldies flag flying with this gem

 

Hiya, not posted in ages but i thought i'd share may latest purchase - well pleased :-)

Barbara St Clair - Teacherman
