I thought it would be an idea to start a thread with a favourite track that doesn't get spins anymore.

I would nominate James Brown - "Money wont change you", to start the ball rolling.

thats the 8th Feb

Kelly St.Claire......Hear that beat.....AMM

Back in the late 70's was my fav record, bought one for £25 quid way back then, nearly a weeks wages. Sold it long ago, but still love the track, never hear it played nowadays.......

Bobby Paris - stunning tune.

Still played at oldies nights.

My suggestion is Back Street - Edwin Starr.

Heard Dave Rimmer play it at Peterborough, had forgotten what great sounds were on Ric Tic.

if a track is as good as that ( i walked away ) why would it take a brave man to play it. I find it very strange that tracks get overlooked for the reason that some might turn their nose up at it. Who cares what these people think. Just because it hasn't been played for X amount of years surely doesn't mean that it should be forgotten for ever!!!!

Jerry Butler - One Night Affair

Darrell Banks - Angel Baby

Ray Merrell - Tears Of Joy

The Knights - When You Drop Your Guard

There are so many to choose from

Dave Abbott's played this recently, Leeds and Eastbourne, and maybe Fleetwood cant remember

I've not heard Marva Hicks, Looking over my shoulder, out for ages. Really like that...does anybody still play it?

Davie

Funny thing is Kiki Dee has the most downloads

Chuck Jackson - Chains of Love

does it for me every time

Mine is Jon Ford "You've Got Me Where you want me", why is this so hard to get?

Same answer as with most of them - it wasn't bought at the time, radio didn't play it, badly promoted. But the mystery with this particular record is - the issues are relatively common - I've had 4 or 5 - but the demos are absolutely mega rare, probably less than 10 known Philips demos, nobody seems to know why.

Go to a an average soul night in the midlands and you'll find plenty of men "brave" enough to play Bobby Paris!

Please don't encourage her. Janine played a pretty good set at the last These Old Shoes, spoiled only by playing The Entertainer.

The original UK LP will have a catalogue number preceded by 'TML' for mono or 'STML' for stereo copies.

It's on UK Polydor. I used to have a vocal of that, Ring The Changes by (bollocks I forgot who it was) but it was on black UK RCA, one of the last releases before it changed to the yellow label.

================

Bobby Paris is still played reasonably regularly (thankfully).......particularly round my local area. Bedfordshire, Northants Cambs etc.

As for Kiki Dee I have heard it recently somewhere, maybe a local do in Peterborough.

Now then Marko,

I'll have it off you if you don't want it!

Totally forgot about that one, I don't mind a bit of cheese every now and then. We try and be a bit clever sometimes and forget how good some music is.

But The Knights isn't everyone's cup of tea I agree.

Bloody got me singing it though

Please don't encourage her.  Janine played a pretty good set at the last These Old Shoes, spoiled only by playing The Entertainer.

Bloody hell, a compliment of Stu and I only just read it
