Reggie Garner "Hot Line" Capitol

High Voltage "Country Roads" Columbia

Clarence Jackson "Dont fit dont force it (inst) " Valtone

Kim Tolliver " I dont know what foot to dance on" Castro

World Column "So

Remember " Edward Hamilton @ the Arabians----Baby do'nt you weep" I think a real classic but who ever plays it.

" Queen Of The Go Go " - Rex Garvin

Malc Burton

Dave Evison played this at Stoke, meethinks in March, can't be sure which date but he did play it,

it went down quite well, probably the most expensive record Dave owns

Chris L

Probably never get revived but it needs to Fantastic Johnny C---Some kinda Wonderful

Probably never get revived but it needs to Fantastic Johnny C---Some kinda Wonderful

Bin playing this out recently at Lowton as my last record...........Love It

A horrible rendition, they want burning, listen to the Four Larks, it's THE ONLY version

Can't stand the Four Larks version - I love the Detroit Sound one

Interesting thread. What about Alpaca Phase III 'I Like To Party'? Huge at Cleethorpes & Peterborough summer 75.

Another piste packer at the same time was Reggie Garner's 'Hotline', which I don't think anyone's mentioned so far.

Both Mecca records originally, no?

Hot Line still gives me the tingles when I hear it, my first ever Emidisc that was, took 3 weeks worth of paper round money to buy it

Certainly a CULT record of that time, so big twas untrue....along with in the same dj box......

I like all of those as well

I love the Detroit Sound one

Me too. You said you'd get me the album for £20 Pete, as it "wasn't hard to come by". I'm still waiting

Sorry Steve, I'll stop raising a family and devote all my time getting hold of a cover versions album for you ok

Bin playing this out recently at Lowton as my last record...........Love It

Sorry Steve, I'll stop raising a family and devote all my time getting hold of a cover versions album for you ok

As long as it doesn't affect your day job.

Nice photo btw.

Seriously, ask Chris L if he has a copy, for some reason I think he may have

Ive got a tape from the Casino with.... Blanche Carter... Halos are for angels. Sir Richard of Searlingshire played it 3 times in 45 mins, I swear. Shittest record I ever heard played there. Ive mention it before on here, BUT it was foockin massive at the time. I dont care if I never hear it again, EVER.

Wash your ears out

Brilliant record and one of the very few 70s records I have in my collection (but psst dont tell anyone)

This was only played for a couple of weeks, reaching it's height at the 3rd anniversary. F*cking rubbish, how did she get a recording contract?

Could say the same thing about all that Reggae rubbish you listen too , but I wont

BTW I think she has a brilliant singing voice but hey each to their own we can't all like the same stuff !

The Ellingtons - Im not destined to become a loser

Burning Bush - keeps on burning

Edited November 27, 200816 yr by IanP

What about the DEL-CAPRIS[CONSTRUCTION]-HEY LITTLE WAY OUT GIRL? now there was a monster in its time, apologies if its been mentioned, couldn`t find it on here in site search

whilst I'm on---hows about those 'Vibrating' Vibrations and

Surprise party for baby ----hope she's gonna show up

the one that say's it all with the lyrics. BUSTER & EDDIE --- CAN'T BE STILL.

Troy Keyes "If I Had My Way"

BH

i played it out the other week, it still does it for me like it did when i was 14

gonna play it right now...awsome ""

Tailgate 21st Creation I think the 12 inch was 14 minuets long.

Played it out quite a lot in last year an awsome production

get it on!!

Thought of few more these were massive floor fillers in the 70t's

Soul Brothers Six - Thank you Baby

Tony & Tyrone - Please Operator

Samantha Jones - Surrounded by a Ray of Sunshine

Dusty Springfield - What's it Gonna Be

Javells - Goodbye Nothing to Say

Gary Lewis & The Playboys - My Hearts Symphony

Mike Post Coalition - Afternoon of the Rhino

George Carrow - Angel Baby

Sharonettes - Pappa Ooh Mow Mow

Esther Phillips - What a Difference a Day Makes

Donald Lee Richardson - You've Got Me in The Palm of your Hand

Terrible Tom - We Were Made For Each Other

Keanya Collins - Love Bandit

Ila Vann - This Man of Mine

Total Eclipse - Six O'Clock (best know as Golden World Strings - Supertime)

Ikettes - Two Timing , Double Dealin

Eddie & Ernie - I Can't Do It

William Bell - Happy

Johnny Taylor- Friday Night

Temprees - At Last

Sandy Nelson - Love is Like An Itchin in My heart (instr)

Timothy Wilson - Love is Like An Itchin in My heart

Mitch Ryder - You Get Your Kicks

Mickey Lee Lane - Hey Sah-lo-ney

Mr Bloe - Land of 1,000 Dances

Creation - I Got The Fever

O'Kaysions - Girl Watcher

Ernie Bush - Breakaway

I've just been 'Makin' up Time' spending the 'Afternoon on the Rhino' trying to make 'Contact' with my 'Angel Baby' of a 'Country Girl'. 'If I had my Way' then she would surely know 'I'm Where it's At'. Unfortunately I failed and am now in 'Condition Red'.

What about " Moody Woman " was played to death,not heard it your yonks

Bazza

Moody Woman.................i play this once a month .............at home

Roger K "Give me the love" a regular Saturday night play for Winstanley....probably the leat soulful record ever played at Wigan ...except instrumentals.

Oh and I forgot..Tim Tam and the Turnons..the epitomy of 60'spop played at Wigan in 1978....and total shite...Worst still, i bought it...makes a nice ash tray and I don't even smoke.

Great track, don't think i've heard it for a long long time, infact does Northern Soul get played nowadays?

I was thinking about this the other day & how much stuff that gets played nowadays is yer traditional NS, i would say very little.

Simon

Just Ghastley!!

Garnett Mimms-What it is

Massive once, can't have been played out in 30 years.

Tony

Ive mention it before on here, BUT it was foockin massive at the time. I dont care if I never hear it again, EVER.

That is my all time fave hate "Halo's" never as there been a worse record,

Don't know if anyone as mentioned "God Know's" by Michael McDonald not heard that for years

dunno about 'not heard for years' but the song i wish would disappear for a hundred years is "I WALKED AWAY"

can't stand it !!! .

whilst on the subject, Frankie and Johnny I'll hold you can scuttle along with it into a black hole, bloody awful.

p.s , Carol and Gerry too

ok im calm now !

back to the thread. a song ive not heard for a long long time and i dont think will be revived (prove me wrong) was the one and only:-

Cody Michaels = seven days fifty two weeks

blimey when did i hear that last?

Troy Keyes "If I Had My Way"

BH

What a great record, a personal favourite. No reason why it shouldn't be revived.

and another Darrow Fletcher---------Gotta draw the line

another Chuck Jackson------------Chains of Love

Gets coat and badly fitting cap and runs to the door

Heard both of these in recent years, locally and at places like Cleethorpes weekender. And don't they sound good?

You never hear Check Yourself Soul Bros 6.

What a great record and perfect for todays scene.

2nd time round I will add FALBALA, along with 'the flasher' it was a youth club anthem.

Never heard it since 1977, not sure I want to now!!

Ed

family affair - love hustle

Hamilton Bohannon - Foot Stompin Music

Graham Central Station - Feel The Need

Crown Heights Affair - Dreaming A Dream

All floor-fillers at Blackpool Mecca around 1974/75.

Graham Central Station may still possibly work at an 'across the board' venue, but maybe it's a bit too commercial for most folk. Great dancer tho

At the same time as Graham Central Station.....

Bill Harris "Uptown Saturday Night"

I'm sticking my neck out a bit here but has anyone dared to mention

George Benson - Supership

As bad as it is, it was certainly a floor-filler before we all came to loathe it.
