Hi everyone, I'm looking to make a list, just for my own amusement, of records that Butch has played out over the years. I'm specifically looking for records that he has broken or were exclusive to him, from any era, rather than underplayed tunes/forgotten oldies that he has revived etc.

I'd be grateful for all suggestions.

Thanks in advance, Tony T.

 

 

two from me that take me to the 9ts and early 2000’s…

Clara Hardy & Magic Tones -  it’s you (ex shifty spin) 

Inspirations - Gotta find a new love 

 

Everything you’ve heard of,and everything you haven’t😂

He used to kick off his sets with Glady's Knight "It's too late (for you and me)

It was like a call out to get ready for a 60 minute rare soul masterclass.

Was he the first to play it, I'm not sure.?

Hi Tony

I hope you're ok my friend. 

I seem to have a distant memory that we had a Butch thread some time ago, and I think it would be a fair time ago at that. I'll try and do a search in a bit.

@mike 

Mike might have a better memory than me and he's certainly a lot more agile around the site. (and that's not because he's younger than me)! 😂

All the best.

Peter

He wasn't the first to play it but I do appreciate the input. Love that record!

Dave withers the first with that covered up as Lorraine Chandler.  It was amongst the first batch of unissued Motown to turn up on the tapes from @Robbk given to Rod Shard.

I remember John Vincent was a regular at the Morecambe Pier allnighters in the early 1980's and he was playing the Just Bros (Sharpees) Go On And Laugh. 

I think he could have been the first to play it.

Mac Staten There she goes,  old Bobby Angele c/up which I uncovered in 1989. Probably the best 50p at a car boot ever spent

And I think, Darrell banks - knocking at your door? There are a few of those all different cuts of the same song, Richard Searling has one for sure. 

different version of Ann Haywood on Hondo, and he used to spin a real fast track at the 100 club, with a kinda Latin break, can’t remember the name, it’s on Jet Set records… 

How's about some of the more "modern" feeling tunes? There's a couple that have been posted. That's not a prompt for a debate about modern, newies etc.

The Ann Heywood is a different Artist on a west coast label, the other side he plays more which is far better.

Nice track. I couldn't say whether he was the first, other's are better placed. Certainly something that Sam would play - but that's not very helpful is it.

did you have any idea what it was before you played it at home ?

No! I had no idea at all until I played it i couldn't believe my ears as id only heard it on a cassette tape as because was saving up to get married hadn't been to 100 club for a while.  

I have posted the story before, but I'll be quick to tell again..

I went to a local car boot in Oadby in Leicestershire and there was an old chap with a small record box with a cardboard insert saying 60s soul .

I thought as usual as if ??

Anyway was 12 records left in box and the only one I knew was Jimmy Norman on little star you know I'm in love.

So I asked how much and he said 50p each or a fiver for all. So I bought the lot.

So got Mac Staten and jj Jackson let the show begin on prelude, pat Clayton someone else's turn. The innkeepers never should have done it on galeko, Bobby Wilburn I'm a Dreamer on Gamble. Which wasn't played much then and  1 that my memory is eluding me at present and a few  I didn't know on the little star label by Jimmy Norman and Dorothy Berry..

A couple of weeks later I saw the same chap and asked if he had any more  records and he said I'd bought the last few.. I then asked where he got them from and he said that he worked at an American airbase in the 60s and the Americans bought them over to play and they left them behind and he collected them.. 

He said he'd sold loads before I bought the last few..    to this day I often wonder what else was in the boxes before me and what happened to them.. 

Probably got more chance of winning the lottery than ever finding anything else like this again. 

Best wishes 

Mick

But want to add that we have a hell of a lot to owe to Mark/Butch for the most amazing records he has found and played for us all to hear and enjoy over the years 😀

** Just checked my Calla Lp, thats not on there, so two other different 45 releases?

I'm really enjoying this thread/topic. 

I'm learning so many new things and remembering things I have forgotten,  please keep them coming as between reading all the comments and searching on YouTube, Google etc I'm hearing some awesome stuff.  

Thanks everyone 

Jesse James "Love is alright"  I first heard him play it at Cleethorpes, instant dancefloor mayhem.

I believe a couple more acetates turned up later both alt takes.

I didn’t appreciate he played an alternate take of the primers I wasn’t listening closely enough
