and I know this for a fact, going by the amount of people who ask if I can get them it:

Far and away the most popular currently is the appalling

FIVE ROYALES - CATCH THAT TEARDROP

closely followed by

BILL BUSH - I'M WAITING

which I quite like, very catchy tune, then the joint third most requested are

DEON JACKSON - SOME DAY THE SUN WILL SHINE

and KARMELLO BROOKS - TELL ME BABY

both of which I believe are fantastic records.

So there you go. The public decided, not me...

Thanks Billy!

The attractions- "You don't know boy' -JuneBug. Similar, in many ways, to Rhonda Davis- Duke, yet still relatively unplayed/unknown. I have had one of these since '93, and have played it out on many occasions, but still a 'sleeper' IMHO. Not seen that often either. If you get to the Wilton aniversary in March, remind me, and I'll spin it for you!

Cheers Trevski great floater IMHO chilling out to the boss four-walkin' by.

Bobby Rich- There has to be a girl- somewhere for me

Marvin L Simms- Get off my back

Vanguards- Good Times Bad Times

All brilliant in my humble opinion

Does anyone know of any other releases on the label? Only two I know of are Delites and Thornton Sisters, but I haven't really being looking...

Actually never heard Thornton Sisters, so has anyone got a soundbyte they wouldn't ming sharing?

Apologies in advance if this does'nt work but it should be a Thornton Sisters sound file. Not to sure what I'm doing!

Picking up on the Deon Jackson theme, why have so few people cottoned on to "When Your Love Has Gone"?

DEON JACKSON- SUN WILL SHINE - IS A ATLANTIC ACETATE THAT'S BEAT REALLY BADLY , WHEN I WORKED AT BROWNY'S KOPPELL PLAYED IT ME OVER THE PHONE AND ASKED IF I THOUGHT IT'D GO , I TOOK THE ORIGINAL CUTS (4)  OFF THE ORIGINAL ACETATE AND I THINK IT WAS SOLD TO NIGE PARKER  - CAN'T REMEMBER I THINK THEY HAD CUTS OF IT LIKE I DID ( CARL AND GARY) .

NOT SURE WHERE IT RESIDES NOW- BUT REGARDLESS IT'SONLY JUST PLAYABLE !!

Nige Parker bought it from Tim around 1989 for about £700, and when he sold up it went to Carl Fortnum who had it in his box about a year ago. (clip in sounds section complete with eggs frying in the background!)

Yes at least that, certainly Colin had this, got of Jim Wensoira when he was selling covered as Gene Mcdaniels I think, Jim had only played it a few times, became a monster for COlin, same time as Kim ?? I Saw You last Night which Colin found in States, I covered as Valerie Simpson and it was monster for him, have heard this is getting a few spins now.

Cheers

It's Kim Katrell on Tyson Jock Soundfile anyone

Apologies in advance if this does'nt work but it should be a Thornton Sisters sound file. Not to sure what I'm doing!

Other side btw offers a great thumping version of "Ooh Po Pah Do"...and it is not the version that was played c/up a couple of years ago as that was by someone else (have the record at home but can´t remember the name) on Delfi Records.

Seconded

especially as i played The Attractions as long ago as Stafford,and Bonnie Herman was my Patience Valentine Cover up at Bretby(got it as an unknown from Glen Bellamy)

first time Bonnie Herman was played I sold it to Duncan Pollett for 25 quid thinking Glen had another copy in his box,he did but it was the other record by her so i had to get mine back!luckily Duncan  hadn´t looked under the cover and was understanding :Dand it became a real Bretby sound
