Edited February 25, 20178 yr by Polyvelts

Hi Sean

Is there a track listing available for it ?    ; great selection by the way

Yes its a cracking record isn't it. I'm pretty sure that I picked up a seven from somewhere in the last few years - I cold well be mistaken as I havent a clue what I have on my sheleves. I really ought to get sorted.

Great thread Sean. I hope all is well with you mate.

Sean To you Sir, some great tunes that have been largely forgotten from a time when this scene we love was truly back underground.

Steve

This used to rule the world. Bet it never gets played any more...

 

Not heard of this since the 80s. I think Danny Everard had it...

 

 

 

'Last one from me before I hand you over to Guy Hennigan..' Love this. Keb Darge used to play it, covered up as Thaddeous Crawford 'The Workout' ;-D

 

 

...I seem to remember this one too..

 

Massive for about 6 weeks. Sorry for the thread hijack...

another great tune, heard on the street that even the boots/re issues are dog rare, never mind originals

I think the wonderful Ian Clark had the only copy back then..and possibly Dave Thorley , maybe..? Certainly the only djs around at that time who would play something like this. I believe one or two copies turned up in a box of records sent from the US and then no one could trace who had made it. I don't think the ones that emerged in the 90s are bootlegs.

I've played this out over the last few years, also spun on new years eve at diff strokes by mr Haydon, I think, seems to be rising in demand again.

Great few hours listening although many of the second are still pretty popular today.

Volume three Sean? 

3 and 4 coming up mate.

Yes Chalks, you're right.

Only Vol 1 are almost totally forgotten. The others are more of a retrospective with many that have endured to this day!

Look forward to them.

Think I remember Sam playing Cate Brothers - Where can we go - covered up as Anderson Bros early 80's at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens - remember buying a copy still covered up from Rob Smith.

Adam

Thanks for compiling these and posting them on Mixcloud. Plenty I'd never heard before, and good dance material. I look forward to the next one.

Certainly was covered up as Anderson Brothers, Adam.

I have it in my memory as a Poke tune, but we were all on it once it was uncovered.

Years ago I swapped another record for the Cate Brothers...............................and immediately dropped it. Chipped the run in groove - playable if you miss the first few seconds but would be almost uncueable in a dark room. They were a white folky group weren't they? 

Doh!

 

Peter

This was my golden era great tunes , had a few of these on the turntable on Saturday night. Donn Thomas How Can I Help and The Escorts Happy Song were big faves of mine. Keep the memories coming.

Cheers Pete.

Some big hitters in those two lists Sean. Too many of my favourite records to pick out any top picks but one of them would be Tony Fox Love Let Love And Be Loved.

Clifton Hall and Cleethorpes anthems most of them.

 

Peter

I'll add this banger of a dance record. Motherfox - I'm Fallen into Love.

Thanks for these Sean . I was too young for these days much to my regret! Fabulous records and 2 volumes to play whilst filing 45s and cleaning the house on Thursday! Fair few gone on the infinite wants list too.

Can you remember what year that was? Being big for 6 or 7 weeks explains why I only ever heard you play it once, and that was at the 100 club.

I have a tape somewhere from Cleethorpes, Sam playing it as the Anderson Brothers.
