Guest Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 It´s gotta be George Freemans "Down and out" for me. Castanets! valiant, Top sound, agree with that one. Also- George Perkins-I'm so glad your mine-? Bobby Bland - I aint myself anymore-Duke Ronni Goodson-I wouldn't give a nickel-Uptite George Jackson-I dont have the time-Mercury Clyde McPhatter-Lonely people cant afford to cry-Amy George Smith-I've had it-Turntable Little Sherman & the Mod Swingers-The price of love Ernie Washington - Lonesome track think thats enough for now, would bring a tear to a jap's eye, Haydn :dance: :dance: :dance: link Suprised Tony Michaels not mentioned.

MarkWhiteley Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 How about... High Keys - "Take a chance" - The finest B-side ever commited to vinyl Jimmy Thomas - "Above a whisper" - The second finest B-side ever commited to vinyl (and far superior to the other side ) Four Tops - "Ask the lonely" - The cheapest but by far the best version.

Guest Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Personally, Strange Neighborhood by the Imaginations (Fraternity)..'I'd better get going'... and I Can't Make it Without Him by Brendetta Davies (Liberty) ..'Whats left to say,when lovin' walks away?'... Bliss Last record often seems to turn to karaoke at local nights I go to ,get that buzz as everybody in room sings to Timi Yuro or Jimmy Radcliffe..

Chris Anderton Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 When I ran the Bretby nights we had several enders, Malcolm Hayes "I want to be with you" Filmtown, was the first, then came Ruby and the Romantics "Baby come home" and the longest serving ender and the last record played under my promotion, Johnny Mae Matthews " I have no choice".

Simsy Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Back in the day every all nighter that I went to no matter where it was always ended with the same three records that we all know and love Would anyone like to see a return to this and if so what are your suggestions for the 3 records to end all soul nights and all nighters, or is that sort of thing considered old hat, now that we have grown up and moved on. link At the 100 Club allnighters Ady always does the last spot and his enders will usually be - Dells Make Sure, Harold Melvin - Get out, or Four Tops - Baby I need your loving. All seem to fit well and are suitably poignant. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Headsy Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 a bit slow picking up this thread but here goes, J M matthews I have no choice William Hunt Would you believe and the very last one would have to be, Vicky Anderson Wide awake in a dream all perfect in their own right but played one after the other at the end of a long hard night just AWESOME ( IMO anyway ) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Some cracking records mentioned already: a very good call on the Bettye Lavette version of "Almost". To me this has all the qualities of something like Pat Lewis "No-one To Love" but at a fraction of the price; it has the magical x-factor that Jimmy Delphs' version lacks. I've got to agree with Chalky on James Lately also. To me this is one of the very best Northern Soul records ever, full stop. Barbara Lynn's "This Is The Thanks I Get" 45 seems to be reaching standard status these days, and that's no bad thing, as it's a wonderful record. I'm sure Randy Cozens would have approved. He was a master at recognizing records which could evoke the nostalgia and charisma of a genuinely anthemic 'ender'. Here are a few from me: Al Johnson "Love Waits For No Man" (South Camp) George Tindley "So Help Me Woman" (Wand) Willie Wade "When Push Comes To Shove" (Nite Life) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Richard Bergman Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 It´s gotta be George Freemans "Down and out" for me.

Sweeney Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 A fascinating thread My three enders would be: Charades - Never Set Me Free (MGM) Walter Jackson - It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom (Okeh) I Need You Baby - Arthur Alexander (Monument) Not necessarily in that order though.

Steve Edgar Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Over the years i dj´d played quite a few enders, Mamie Lee-I can feel him slipping away Steve link Mamie lee.....

Andyf Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Given the chance I'd go for Knickerbockers - Wishful Thinking George Smith - I've Had It Mia Lewis - This Is The End Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 There is another way of getting "Sweet Memories," Steve, so don't despair. It was also recorded by Tanner's group, The New Sound, on their Turbo lp from the early 70s. It's a far better version, with a fuller production and better sound etc. The album also has some other splendid tracks, like the former Darrell Banks cover-up "Don't Take You Love From Me," as spun by Kitch etc. in the early 90s. Here's the catch: the album is super-rare on original (I have personally seen more copies of the Megatone 45 than originals of this lp in the last five years), but exists on both CD and high quality vinyl re-issue from Japan. The re-issues are sometimes on ebay, but I'm sure if you ask around you'll be able to pick one up for prices ranging from £20 to £50. Hope this helps, gareth.

Garethx Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Gotta say I disagree strongly on this one, Chalky. I knew the lp version for a good few years before I heard the Rober Tanner solo 45 and could not actually believe how poor it was in comparison. The term 'half finished' springs to mind. Sorry!
