Despite there being many Soul nights out there this weekend I found myself in doors yet again on Saturday night, nothing much on the television until 'Match Of The Day' so after dinner I sneaked upstairs to get the DJ boxes ready for next weekend, normally it's a case of simply changing the boxes around a little which takes an hour or so but tonight I was in the mood to play a few and spent a very enjoyable couple of hours, no dance floor to fill, no one else to please but myself.....wonderful....lol
You sometimes don't realise just how many good records you own, the following 45's really hit the spot tonight.
I guess this thread is following on from other threads based on favorite tunes at home, big in the record or bedrooms and just a bit of fun.
I'm a sad bugger I know but it's late and now I'm bored wishing I was out somewhere....lol
Philharmonics - I Need, I Need Your Love - Soulin, set the mood and I was off to another place instantly, beautiful record.
The Magnificent 7 - Never Will I (Make My Baby Cry) - Dial, up went the volume and the neighbours were my audience, stunning record.
The Intentions - Don't Forget That I Love You - Philips DJ, a Harthon production which has it all.
The Inverts - Time Will Change - Broadway DJ, simply an awesone record.
Little Charles And The Sidewinders - It's A Heartache - Decca DJ, does me up like a kipper fantastic record.
The Inspirations - Your Wish Is My Command - Midas, so worthy of it's cult status, a diamond of a record.
Lee Williams And The Cymbals - Lost Love - Carnival, Joe Evans was a genius, such a great record.
Jimmy Norman - I'm Leaving (This Old Town) - Mercury DJ, superb record, the volume now creeping up...bliss.
The Fantastics - That One - Sound Stage 7 DJ, top tuneage of the highest order.
Jackey Beavers - Bring Me All Your Heartaches - Grandland, class record from an awesome talent.
The Venturas - Baby Be Mine - Daniels, 1968 Chicago dynamite, awesome group record.
Freddie Houston - If I Had Known - Old Town DJ, instantly memories of Stafford's 'Top Of The World' Allnighter, covered up as Herb Ward, Keb Darge at his very best.
The Servicemen - I Need A Helping Hand - Patheway, time to blow the windows out, fabulous Northern Soul old style.
Johnny Bartel And The Soul Masters - "If This Isn't Love" - Solid State DJ, Another old cover up as 'The Metro's' I think, reminds me of Ian Clark at The 100 Club circa about 1983/4
E.J. And The Echoes - You're Gonna Hurt - Diamond Jim, This is a stunning record out of Detroit, so hard to find, if 'The Tempos' - I'll Never Forget on Diamond Jim is hard to find then this is as hard to locate IMO.
The Falcons - Love You Like You Never Been Loved - Big Wheel, flip to 'Good Good Feeling' records like this take me to another dimension.
The Volumes - I Got Love - Twirl DJ, well into the male vocal group section of my little one man soul night now....lol
The Four Sonics - Easier Said Than Done - Sport, full volume now no messing, her at number 22 loves this record.
The O'Jays - I'll Never Forget You - Imperial Audition, how good are these guy's? still a brilliant record, pure class.
The Four Voices - We Live In The Ghetto - Voice, equal in quality to 'My Love Is Getting Stronger' at a snip of the price.
The Entertainers - Love In My Heart - Symbol DJ - every collection should hold this stunning oldie, total manic madness, awesome record.
Eddie Hill - You Got The Best Of Me - Thelma - simply Detroit at it's very basic beautiful best....Jacqui yell's up the stairs "Turn it down?".....so up it goes full blast now as I'm on one....lol
The Metrics - Wishes - Chadwick, if I had one wish it would be that this beauty was a much bigger record on the scene than it is, cult status again, beautiful record.
The Jive Five - You're A Puzzle - United Artists DJ, proper Northern record and hard to find now as it's firmly in peoples collections never to be sold...lol
A few from the girls!
Irene And The Scotts - I'm Stuck On My Baby - Smash DJ, I love this record if there were only five copies of this it would be a thousand pound record no messing.
The Liberty Belles - Shing-A-Ling Time - Shout DJ, needs playing this again at the gigs, thumping N-Soul of the highest order.
Barbara Jean And The Lyrics - Any Two Can Play It - Big Hit, flip to her version of 'Why Weren't You There' both sides are dandy detroit and pretty hard to find.
The Wooden Nickles - Nobody But You - Omen DJ, still a very popular and desired record on the scene.
Bessie Jones - No More Tears - A-Bet, stonking uptempo Northern, forgotton oldie that does it for me yet again, now the neighbours are really feeling the groove as the windows and the house are rattling.
The Vashonettes - A Mighty Good Lover - Checker, sexy record..mmmmmmmmmmm!
Mill Evans - Things Won't Be The Same - Constellation, what a brilliant record, Bill Sheppard production out of the Widy City, so so good.
Joe Anderson - I Can't Get Enough Of You - Heidi DJ, one of the best records of my little soul night here, top tune.
Buster Jones - Baby Boy - Sure-Shot DJ, top class record that again needs a little more turntable action out and about at the venues, fantastic tune.
Vernon Greene - Look At Me, Look At Me - Minit Audition, this record pushes me over the edge everytime, has it all and then some.
Last orders at the bar please!!!!
The Festivals - Checkin' Out - Blue Rock DJ, flip to 'Hey Girl' an awesome double header.
and finally - The Visitors - My Love Is Ready And Waiting - Tangerine, oh my goodness me this is about as good as it gets......awesome tuneage.
Sorry to bore the pants off everyone but like I said a little bored but no matter where you are at home or at a gig, in the car, on a bus, train listening to this wonderful music through an MP3 player or whatever......well there's nothing quite like it is there, nothing else even comes close....now I might just go and listen to a few more before bed...lol
