WOULD YOU ADAM & EVE IT, THE MACHINE IS BACK, AS YOU MAY BE AWARE MY MANY YEARS OF LIVING THE HIGH LIFE ON THE RARE SOUL SCENE WITH IT'S ALL NIGHTERS & ALL DAYERS, ESPECIALLY BACK IN THE 1970s, WHEN I LIVED IN LETCHWORTH, MY WEEK WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:- THURSDAY NIGHT, GO TO BEDFORD WITH MICK SMITH, FRIDAY WIGAN OLDIES BUYING & SELLING 45s IN THE BAR WITH MICK SMITH, ADY C, & PETE WID,  SATURDAY NIGHT BLACKPOOL MECCA (OR AS I USE TO SAY, GOING TO BLOCKPOOL TO SEE THE HALLUCINATONS). THEN ON TO WIGAN ALL NIGHTER, SUNDAY THE RITZ OR CAT WHISKERS OR SAMANTHAS ALL DAYERS, THEN MAKE MY WAY HOME, SO COMPARED TO SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE NORTH, US FROM THE SOUTH REALLY HAD TO BE PASSIONETTE ABOUT SOUL MUSIC...OR BLOCKED?

SO THE LAST FEW MONTHS, MY HEALTH HAS WORSENED, WITH TYPE 2 DIABETIS WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH 50/50 CHANCE OF LOSING MY LOWER LEGS, SUSPECTED BOWL CANCER, HEP B&C, MY ADDICTION ISSUE PLUS OTHER STUFF, ALL LEADING ME HAVING TO TAKE 47 DIFFERANT TABLETS EVERY DAY, THEN THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH MY LAPTOP SCREEN, AFTER ME PUTTING MY FIST THROUGH IT LAST jANUARY AS I WAS IN A SULKING MOOD, BUT NOW I'M BACK, AS I have no sound files for these 3, if someone could put them on for me,

However I must show you the Craig Douglas on Indian $tateside don't know how rare it is but my copy is the only one i've seen, VALUE PLEASE

AT THIS TIME I MUST THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING THE CLUB ALIVE, SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO MIKE & A BIG THANKS TO KEV. I HOPE TO GET HIM A PINT IF HE GETS HIMSELF DOWN TO THE STABLE, JOHNNY BEGGS GETS THERE? 

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, IT SEEMS THAT KEV MADE NO RULES FOR THIS THREAD THAT'S COOL, HOWEVER I STILL BELEIVE THAT ANY RECORD ON THIS THREAD, YOU SHOULD OWN A COPY (thats what the club is all about. picking a 45 from  your collection, it does not matter if rare, northern, beat ballard, funk, motown, or JA Soul, my preferance is rare UK SOUL & classic northern origanals).

heres a oldie pat lundi / party music , vigor records

 

One of my first ever buys was Little Beaver - Listen To My Heartbeat, nice late 1970's spin.  

Turn up the volume and shake your ass. LP only pick for me tonight - does soul music get any better than this? Happy to hear you tell me otherwise.  The super, super Voices of East Harlem - Take a Stand. So right for today methinks.

Big thanks to Michael Howard on here . Another 'want' sorted . Sharon Jones 'tell me' a rsd ltd release 7'' from 2008.

The flip to "The Night The Angels Cried"...

 

HI ALL...In my opinion the 3 Degrees are one of the worlds greatest female trio to hit my lug holes, they knock spots of many Detroit groups, and issued many fine 45' s, if that wasn't enough they played an integral part in the late 6t's early 7t's helping create Gamble & Huffs dream of a label that would take the place of the MOTOWN SOUND by launching their PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL LABEL.  "when will I see you again" is a classic reminder of how great the group were, and to this day it would not bother me if at a venue the DJ played any of the fine stuff from the label.

So you may think it's a PHILLY INT record that I have picked, however you would be wrong. the £ Degrees have a few great RARE SOUL TRAX that you should own, The one I have picked from their catalogue of SWAN recordings is the FAB "are you Satisfied" I hope you are, now who gives a F**K at 3am if we call this a Northern Soul Classic or a RARE SOUL masterpiece? not me I'm not into that sort of politics of the scene.

Below are scaans of my copy played today at 1pm , The 3 DEGREES - "are you satisfied" B/W - "love of my life" - SWAN #S-4267-D/{***** Value? 

All I can say is "when will you see me again"?.... very soon say's I. KTF Dave K.

 

 

Doing the prep for Monday's Hospedia radio show, featuring new /recent releases and decided to include this one from 2014 , released on Motown France. 

Ben L'Oncle Soul 'Hallelujah (j'ai tant besoin de toi ) '

How good is this. Mellow Moods - Tell Love Hello. From the pens of Gamble and Huff - turn it up loud!

Loved this for ages, awesome beat ballad and cheap as chips to pick up - totally overlooked I think

Came across this interesting piece ages ago on the world wide web about the man himself:-

Two from me tonight, couldn't be more different but both current big living room spins for me. One dead easy to pick up, the other less so.

First storming 70's Motown from Thelma Houston with 'Don't know why I love you':-

 

Edited May 15, 20178 yr by Chris Turnbull
Spelling mistake

Second from me tonight - played this to Martyn the other week and got the thumbs up, and I think it's a cracker - Ray Camacho & The Teardrops with their kick ass version of Wilson Pickett's 'She's so good to me' (ARV International)

 No problem mate. Didn't used to care for this Marie Knight offering but it's grown on me over the years. Certainly a big, big spin in its day.

One of my all time favourite's Pete, and I get to play it out now and then as it's popular with quite a few of my friends that attend the gigs.

Nice pick. Scroll down to to see my pick which is culled from a Capitol compilation featuring this track too. I'm sure I have posted before but the two go together.

Well looks like you lot have been having a great time without me.............I'll soon put a stop to that 

One or two new things posted for me to go checkout after I've thrown up my tune for today,keep em coming.

Dean Anderson played this last night & it sounded so good played out loud,I'm sure he said he had it C/U as Morris Chestnut at one time?First person I heard play it was Nick Hackett quite awhile back & I loved it straight away.Took me a bit of time to track one down after that but worth the wait (one on e-bay now for $150 which is rather a lot more then I paid for mine).

Jackie Avery-I Got Love Tail-Gate

 

 

Sublime flip to The Drifter

 

Anther flip from me, the shrill sound of the Montclairs....

 

Well the weekends here so a Saturday morning offering from my collection, a record based around James Bountys ' Prove yourself a lady', Some will love it, some won't,Enjoy 

 

Another Northern all time classic from the Torch era.Took me an age to find a nice genuine original.Loads of lookalike boots out there.
