Just wondering what tunes you've got in your box that you'd like to recommend to other Soul Sourcers.

You might be a DJ with that tasty unplayed, unknown, hardly played or semi-known stuck in the back of your box that you'd love to play... but haven't yet got around to it.

You might be a collector, sitting on a tune that you know, if it got into the right hands, could become massive in the next 12 months.

It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves.

It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just become a monster!

No need to post sound clips. Just let us know what you've got that you think deserves a plug in the coming year!

I'll suggest a couple of my own later (duty calls right now).

So come on. Look at your box and let's have your top tip (or tips) for 2007.

Oh... and a Happy (and Soulful) New Year to all!

How about the new Al Williams 45 that had been released on Grapevine...not heard that played out yet...stormer of a tune.... will be a floor filler soon I'm sure

Great Tune Early Days Of Stafford

Great Tune Early Days Of Stafford

Rarity ? Todays Value ?

Dunno, I know of one other copy, maybe others withthe likes of Butch etc. Won it from JM auction for £230. Bargain considering the only other copy I've seen for sale was Jimmy's some 20 years ago?

I Had This On A Tape , Ive Probably Still Got It Somewhere , Cant Remember Who Did It For Me ,

Probably Gilly ,

Didnt Jim Move To Austrailia ?

Stafford 82 , Or Thereabouts , With Dave Withers Discovered A Lot Of The Big Stafford tunes Without Getting The Recognition.

Didnt Jim Move To Austrailia ?

Or Was That Ady Pountain ?

Didnt Jim Move To Austrailia ?

Or Was That Ady Pountain ?

That was Ady wasn't it, Jimmy went on to Thorsby Market with some fairground rides or summat like. Dunno what he's doing now.

So that's half a dozen!

Must be loads more.

Doesn't need to be rare.

Just something that you'd like to share with us...

The recent LP/CD swap brought a stack of great tunes to the surface.

What else lies beneath?

All suggestions gratefully received (need to top up my wants list).

Hello,

"Try Them" by Al Williams is one of the best discoveries of recent years. DJs have no excuse because It's been out for quite a while on Grapevine's La Beat compilation album and also as a limited 7" single.

Don't wait until it's deleted!

Best regards,

Paul Mooney

heres a few i've been starting to play out over the last month...

LAINEY ALLEN I CAN'T TAKE IT J.W.J.

ALFRED O DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO MO DO.

JOE CLARK WON'T YOU SETTLE DOWN WILDCAT.

THE RAVIN MADS WHERE IS LOVE RAVIN.

i've had l.allen and j.clark for ages and reckon they both deserve some turntable action. Been after alfred for ages,tuunnnne!!!!! And the ravin mads is just magic...

VIKKI STYLES - TEARS WON'T STOP FALLING - O DEX and RAY POLLARD - SOULMATE - OMNIPOTENT are two from me

oh... and the ROTATIONS on Mala... that's three

Ann Peebles - If This Is Heaven on Hi

https://www.zen95868.zen.co.uk/annpeeb.MP3

I think Shaun Robbins' playlists for his show on Solar are fertile grounds for tips, he and his co-presenters have brought a load of great new sounds to myself over the last year or so. Yes some are reactivated from back in the day but some "new" discoveries as well. I love looking for them on GEMM/ebay while he is playing them and grabbing a bargain

BH

PS The playlists are on E.M.S

PPS Happy new year to all

Great thread Sean

Well here's my tips for the next year.

From a 60s point of view i'd love to hear this a bit more often in the next 12 months.

Youre Taking Too Long - the boss man -gamble

On the crossover scene this looks set to be a monster thanks to spins from Shaun Robbins & Brett Franklin.

A late 70s/early 80s dancer that's well due a reactivation is your old Clifton Hall spin Sean, remember this mate?

Do Ya Got What It Takes - jackie moore -cbs

13042 refosoul

..................................................................

Onto the new stuff. We got an instrumental of Ron Hall & the Muthafunkaz & an accapella of Micheal Proctor & 2 decks & fiddled about with e'm & came up with this. Already tearing up the Modern dancefloors round South Yorkshire via our very own Julia Nicoll.

Mart

Just had a listen at the clip Mart, flippin eck.... sounds amazing!

As you say, I played it 2 or 3 times at Clifton Hall and Cleethorpes early 80's but it just didn't catch fire at the time... but as they say "so right for now"!

Would be good to see it getting plays in 2007 for sure.... and do you know what... I don't think this was ever actually issued in the UK. The one I've got and one other I've seen are DEMO's.

What's yours?

Just proves that we were listening all those years ago.

Great record I picked up 2 copies last year sold one for £50 to a friend.

A few months later one went for over $300 on ebay. Cheers Cressy

Do Ya Got What It Takes - jackie moore -cbs

Excellent, picked this up a few months ago after hearing it on one of your Modernism CDs... can't remember if mine's a demo or not, and can't summon the energy to get to record boxes a few feet away to find out

Edited January 1, 200718 yr by rachel

it's already played out a bit here but The Bottle i think it's Brenda Holloway is a good cover and gets a good reception i expect next year it will get bigger.

After nearly 30 years of trying, maybe 'Brief Encounter - What about love - Capitol' might finally make it in 2007!!!!!!

Plus, now i've 'sort of' fixed the jump in the 45, gonna regroup and respin 'Rideout - Spend some time - Hotlicks'

So that's two from me for now..................

Cheers
