Top Tips For 2008, Look At Your Box

Posted December 31, 200717 yr

Phew, Where did that year go?

Exactly 12 months since we did the last 'Top Tips' thread... so here we go again!

Here's your opportunity to tip the tunes in your box for future greatness over the next year... or simply list any number that you'd like to recommend to other Soul Sourcers.

You might be a DJ with that tasty unplayed, unknown, hardly played or semi-known stuck in the back of your box that you'd love to play... but haven't yet got around to it.

You might be a collector, sitting on a tune that you know, if it got into the right hands, could become massive in the next 12 months.

It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves.

It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just become a monster!

No need to post sound clips. Just let us know what you've got that you think deserves a plug in the coming year!

As a quick lookback, the Top Tips for 2007 will appear on the next post.

So come on. Look at your box and let's have your top tip (or tips) for 2008.

turn back the tears - the satisfactions

i was a boy (when you needed a man) - billy shields

i won't do anything - lezli valentine

i don't get out much, so they could be out there already.

but if not give 'em a play

Waters other side of midnight warners 1977
Edwin Starr Jealous 20th century 1978

two lovely well known tracks that might just get a look in

Is the Waters track that well known?

my 60s pick is - Connie Stevens - Tick Tock on Bell - This is the next big Joannie Sommers sound alike

my 70s pick is - The Softones - Thats what love can do - H&L

and my outside bets are - The Caprells - Hey Girl on bano

and Jerry Weaver - Love dont make you act like that on MGM

January 5, 200817 yr

just a few records I would like to hear more in 2008 are:

Garland Green: Don't let love walk out on us RCA

Truth: Coming home Devaki

Jimmy Lewis: Is that any way to treat a lady Hotlanta

Imperial Wonders: Trying to get to you Black Prince

the Vipers: Little miss sweetness Duchess

obviously nothing very obscure or rare, and not stuff with "mass appeal" to big northern venues, but just great underplayed soul records that would sound great being played out loud in a small club, IMO

best,

Stefan

Mossy - top man - excellent selection and far better than the other side. have been playing this for many years now and it always goes down well with the punters but definitely should be hammered out and about

Quite right! Its got EVERYTHING going for it - underplayed and a quality 60s Motown side

January 14, 200817 yr

Ortheia Barnes - I've Never Loved Nobody - Coral.

Excellent tune, Very 100 club sounding. Picked it up very cheaply. JM's price guide has it at £30 however not seen one for sale seem i obtained it.

Detroit Emeralds - Long live the king - Westbound

Perfect 70's Northern.........apart from the fact it's LP only!!!!!

The other side - "Waiting For Joey" is also very good - a fine example of Vietnam Soul.
