Top Tips For 2011

View full article

Valiants Walkin' girl Ensign....( right from the off this latinesque shouter hits the spot).

Great record Mike. Also got a release on a major label, but cant remember which, as mine is one Ensign like yours.

i`d agree about this 7" has well,cracking tune The Esquires - Baba-Daba-Dop / Aint No Reason - B&G............................... (ignore the title!) two great tracks

I've got a feeling that 'aint no reason' is also the flipside of their Rocky Ridge release?

Hot foxy women-Christian Plicque.If you like Heaven is my weakness- Ray Villar,your love this.Nice jazzy/Modern dancer.

Great Sound !!! Awesome Funky flute number ! Best thing I bought off Steve Clancy this year (Albertfish on here)

Maxwells - Let's get away - Brigade

i`d agree about this 7" has well,cracking tune The Esquires - Baba-Daba-Dop / Aint No Reason - B&G............................... (ignore the title!) two great tracks and cheap

There other track:Girls in the city-The Esquires seems to get a few looking at the decks when played out has well. Still cheap to buy.

Here`s a few from me:

Love can be happy-E.K.O Top funky/modern dancer.

Hot foxy women-Christian Plicque.If you like Heaven is my weakness- Ray Villar,your love this.Nice jazzy/Modern dancer.

She`s the ideal girl-Jermaine Jackson.70`s modern dancer,getting asked to play this all the time now.You know it`s a tune when i played it at Monumental weekender and the picture cover /Sleeve went right right round to all the djs/collectors .

Happy new year everyone..

Great choices, when you tire of the Jermaine Jackson flip it over for the superbly subtle "Im so glad she chose me"...........two great sides

Always a risk on threads like this that you could mention a played out oldie as a tip for the future.

Here goes nothing... Here are three 'new to my ears' this year that i'd like to see get some main room attention next year.

Pauline and Bobby - No Messin Around - Lovely thumping uptempo RnB sounding duet in the style of Mr Clean and Show Some Sign

Bobby Banks - I'm A Batchelor - Fantastic gritty sound, reminds me a bit of Rod Keith, The Lord Said.

Shirley Caeser - Stand The Storm - Perfect sound for now, uptempo female gospel/funk sound. Absolutely brilliant.

Calvin Arnold - Lovely Way To Go - Blimey! This is fantastic, never heard it before this year, Pat Bleasdale play at Move On.

Happy New Year everybody

Calvin Arnold has been getting a fair amount of play over the last couple of years, great record I used to play it at Solid Hit & Dave Abbott was giving it some spins here & there a while back. Sure others must have picked up on it

i'd say

bob & gene - i really really love you

volumes - i've never been so in love

cause of there are brilliant and prices are rising....

Here's a cheapie I've just come across, not sure if its's ever been played out but worth a spin IMO

Gene Chandler & Barbara Acklin - Love Wont Start (Brunswick)

dynamic desires on mel.....great funky dancer ................known to a few discerning folk...... .....and i have

heard the previously mentioned [by mike aka posstot ]. walking girl by ,the valiants played out to, got mine from mr j beggs a while ago... and for baz........... a certain gospel c/up i played him ..ez

Calvin Arnold has been getting a fair amount of play over the last couple of years, great record I used to play it at Solid Hit & Dave Abbott was giving it some spins here & there a while back. Sure others must have picked up on it

me too ive had a copy and been playing it for a couple of years now

i'd say

bob & gene - i really really love you

volumes - i've never been so in love

cause of there are brilliant and prices are rising....

Both top tunes that have been played off and on for ages but still to have their day.

I would say Foreign Blue Renaisance is going to go massive this year. Mick H has been giving it some hammer but it is going to catch on big time. Mark my words

the turks-birmingham spirirtuals-neil kimbe- bobby patterson-dorothy morrison ?? if not posted let me know mods as i am sure there will be deleted again lol,just not getting the hand of new refo yet ??

me too ive had a copy and been playing it for a couple of years now

About time you changed your set then lol

Nice one Sean, regular as clockwork

Got loads in me head (and me box), here's a few from memory-

Spencer Wiggins - I'm at the breaking point - Kent (Now it's on a 45)

Charlene & The Soul Serenaders - Can you win - Volt (Well known on other scenes but 'could' go on to be a monster on't Northern scene?)

Marjorie Ingram - Another woman involved - Hit & Run (When it gets released on 45 this month)

Springfield Rifle - That's all I really need - Burdette (Known by most but what about this as a left field Northern oldie in 2011?)

Cheers for now

Steve

About time you changed your set then lol

i will have 25 tunes not played out before by me at Ghetto Soul so keeps your ears pricked, saying that you will probabaly know them or ave played them before Tim

a few tips from me not that i know naff all

Blue Jays - Hard thing to accept

Richard Cook - Somebody got`a help me

Soul survivors - Mama soul

Little Royal - Dont want nobody standing over me

Soul Messengers - Ive been changed

ok maybe not tips for the top but tunes ive recently bought that will get played given half a chance

Charlene & The Soul Serenaders - Can you win - Volt (Well known on other scenes but 'could' go on to be a monster on't Northern scene?)

This has been a Butch spin on the Northern scene up until now?

But now it's getting more exposure, you lucky man Steve ;-) I agree it deserves to be appreciated widely

Brilliant flip as well!

Greg.

the turks-birmingham spirirtuals-neil kimbe- bobby patterson-dorothy morrison ?? if not posted let me know mods as i am sure there will be deleted again lol,just not getting the hand of new refo yet ??

Come on Baz, how about posting em' with titles

lol just a step forward getting them on at this point Ken !!

Come on Baz, how about posting em' with titles

[/rs]Think this cheap oldie should be getting a few more spins, still sounds good to me

This has been a Butch spin on the Northern scene up until now?

Yes it has - on Paradox.

superb (i need one please :-))

Yes it has - on Paradox.

superb (i need one please :-))

Thought so Dave.

The Volt issue is tuff but the Paradox issue must be rare as chuck chuck teeth!

Here you go folks.

Nearly at 100 and some incredible contributions thus far!

A bit of a Ballacher tidying that lot up, but what a triffic 'Wants List'

Thanks a bunch all and don't be shy, just keep 'em coming!

But now it's getting more exposure, you lucky man Steve ;-) I agree it deserves to be appreciated widely

Brilliant flip as well!

Greg.

Hee Hee I meant more spins from us mere mortals, Butch doesn't count

Seriously, I do know it's been played in the past but 2011 could be the year it gets wider exposure?

Actually the flip is the better Soul record imho but 'Can you win' is definitely a dancefloor winner!

Cheers

Steve

marvelle and the blue mats- mellow man- dynamic sound

the sirmen - what a day this could be - thunderbird

the innovations- stay-on the case --hit sound --------- all known to a few but not common, col

marvelle and the blue mats- mellow man- dynamic sound

Another brill tune that deserves wider exposure.

BTW Do they all come with the H2O damage labels..

Another brill tune that deserves wider exposure.

BTW Do they all come with the H2O damage labels..

only seen 2 but yes they have both been poor quality paper , col

Surely the new natural impulse release has to be in there

Could maybe slip it in at number 5 or 54 seen as Jade is in twice.lol

2 TRACKS FROM 1970 TWISTED WHEEL but may of not had much airing ever since both LP only tracks

LARRY WILLIAMS & JOHNY WATSON - TAKIN' NO CHANCES

JIMMY HOLIDAY - SPREAD YOUR LOVE a fantastic dancer not the slower single version

Some airplay these would really take off

Surely the new natural impulse release has to be in there

Could maybe slip it in at number 5 or 54 seen as Jade is in twice.lol

Yep - which show's you're paying attention young Nev .

I can see you now, copying them all into your little black book... alphabetically.

Sorted mate!

That Dorothy Morrison track must be a surefire winner as it's in there twice!

That Dorothy Morrison track must be a surefire winner as it's in there twice!

.........Another bloody eagle eye!

Well the thing is Godz, it was played much earlier in the session... I thought we'd get away with giving it a second spin later in the evening!

Nice work lads. Shows you're paying attention!

Sean

Both top tunes that have been played off and on for ages but still to have their day.

I would say Foreign Blue Renaisance is going to go massive this year. Mick H has been giving it some hammer but it is going to catch on big time. Mark my words

I so have to agree Joan, infectious and just right for today's sound. A future classic rarity.

Also,

Timmy Carr - I Aint Kying - Kee

and

Chanters - What Are You Doin - SSP

top tips for 2011 ? out of all the records dave thorley played at my house on new years eve before we headed off for the venue I would guess about ten...but then I forgot five (balme the following allnighter) and I bet the others I am not allowed to tell.

Good to know how much brilliant stuff there still is to be found.

Think that's a very good point Marc. I'm actually amazed at how many new and 'previously unmentioned' tips have come through this year.

Bit surprised though that we've not had many LP tracks suggested.

There must be loads that folk are sitting on, especially now the scene has largely got over that '45 only' handicap.

Thinking caps on folks!

Let's have em!

mark

Johnny Truitt - I'm Thru With You/Baby, I Need You - Abet

A great double sider that I can never get tired of...

If LPs are ok and Gospel is acceptable these days - how about a Gospel album track from Fontella's mum:

Martha Bass - Since I've been Born Again - Checker

I'll stick up a youtube clip for now but will record the track and replace with a refosoul clip later

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOcMOmbj5Ls

nope - mine label's fine

I've seen good copies too, probably more copies with damage mind.

A great double sider that I can never get tired of...

i'm through with you just about shuiffles along at x-over pace. A brilliant double sider and well worth a mention. His best record ?

my contribution for this thread and my best buy in 2010 has to be ray quarles "its gonna be all over" faces

and david dee on time about that got some time in the spotlight as a semi known 60s. Proper northern IMO.

Brilliant!

That's got it all for me, strong female vocal, pounding uptempo, a bit funky. Superb. Off to find a 45 of it (if there is one).

Glad you like it Matt. What a bass line eh!

LP only though, I'm pretty sure

off the same titled lp - Vernon Burch - " I'll be your sunshine"...may have tipped this past year...

..and one for the early doors / chill out / sunday sessions,,,Grover Mitchell - "Take your time and love me" on Decca.

(a nod to a good friend who put me onto this,and another who sold it me!!!).

Are you tryin' to say you have 2 friends!!!!!!

Can I slot another in Sean. Not my suggestion originally - JM's auction had a UK demo of Four Tops - Shake Me Wake Me, in the comments he mentioned how good the flip was and ready for picking up on. I know this a bit sheep-like of me, but heh-ho, I dug out a Us Motown Issue (must be bargain cheap still) and the flip is bloody great, but I'd forgotten about it. Genuinely could pick up plays this year.

Four Tops - Just As Long As You Need Me
