I'll start of with Roger Collins - Sexy Sugar Plum

You just could not get on the dancefloor when it was at its peak, regardless of its reputation today.

Any more for any more?

As do i pete, but the instrumental take for me

This was a big record in its day as well been looking through dj playlists from wc and they all played it NEWBEATS-DON`T TURN ME LOOSE

As do i pete, but the instrumental take for me

Morning Harry

Yep - lots of people prefer the instrumental and are quite derisory of the vocal take - so I like the vocal take.

Lets not forget "Too Many People"

Patrick Bradley - love it.

well done peter, it sounds different to the version i have on old tapes, and still brilliant. what is a monster to some, isn't to others... some records are better to dance to than sit down and listen to...

vicky baines-country girl - was a true monster-you couldn't get on the floor when played.

twans-i cant see him again

little joe roman-when your lonesome

eddie holman-hurt

traditions-my life with you

charts-baby i dont need your love

what about youth club classics, not to hear again?

newbeats-crying my heart out

Patrick Bradley - love it.

There's a wicked tune Ken - Vickie Baines.

Troy Keyes "If I Had My Way"

BH

I love this and was sure I heard it out one night - Might have been in my dreams

Umaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....also 'She Chased Me'

KTF

Baz

I am going to own up here and admit I was responsible for She chased me - You can slap me with a wet fish next time you see me!

Heres on that was massive and a certain Dj in Ireland still likes to play it out

Brainstorm - Lovin is really my game - Tabu

Dramatics - Inky dinky wang dang doo.....Woooh!

Simon

Very, very massive circa '72, must have been the lyrics that done it

can't imagine anyone playing it now (though I suspect someone will post up it

was played last week at BIDDS or sumfink!)

I'll start of with Roger Collins - Sexy Sugar Plum

The Olympics - Same old thing (very topical)

Triumphs - Coming to your rescue

Mamie Galore - It ain't necessary

BH

Have I missed something, what's wrong with this?

First round knockout, Joe Frazier??

nice one roger! i loved the song. is it still played today?

chester pipkin-broken heart attack?

porgy&monarchs-my heart cries for you?-all time classic

isley bros-tell me its just a rumour?- "

Tend to agree Pete.. I wish that sort of 70s was a bit more fashionable these days.

One or two more from 75/76:

World Column, So Is The Sun

....

Al Foster, Night of The Wolf (awesome!)

Dave Thorley kinda "re-activated" World Column last year and myself was including this here and there to from time to time. Fantastic Oldie that sounds very fresh these days. Al Foster has seen some reactivation thru the Funk Scene. I did include this as well whenever I was booked to play 7ts Soul last year.

Marc

prepare yourself for a big slap of frozen icelandic cod...lol

Baz

Not quite as massive as 'I'm standing'

But sooo much better !

What about "Too much of a good thing" Karen Young on Major Minor (Its in my box)

Mickey Moonshine get played out, I've got the need Chuck Jackson

can you also pinpoint a record or two more, as my memory of a lot of these records/artists escape me now. i still thought joe mathews sang: i dont like to lose until a few years ago! i was way too busy dancing to bother about the names of artists etc...

"i've been loving you too long"- female lead, someone post it on a soundbite pleeeese.

"salt and pepper"- male lead, a wigan hit.

"never"- female lead, early 70's? absolute classic.

thank you, whoever you were, for the gary dean... anyone got "city lights" two great floor-fillers!

Salt & Pepper is by Esko Affair.

philh, if you like the record thats fine. we cant all love the exact same records.

why has tommy hunt not, to my knowledge, been posted up on these pages recently? his "cracking up" and "get out" were extremely popular in the 70's.... or was that just me.

https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?page_id=11

Jumping at the Go Go - fabulous record.

well done pete. the outsiders-loneley man- is one of the greatest records of all time.

"ever again" bernie williams is playing as i write, from a wigan soundbite 1977. what a tremendous record, and the tremendous memories of standing clapping 3 times to the chorus!!! brilliant!

Not quite as massive as 'I'm standing'

Rufus Lumley 'I'm standing' was an awesome tune one of my all time favs. 'Stronger than me' was a huge tune at the Yate all-nighters back in the day and was an album only cut unless you had a dodgy acitate. Are they the same guy?

Ive been loving you too long is "Can,t Chance a Break-up" Ike&Tina Turner

I hope that helps. Pete,s already posted salt and pepper.

Its been buging me trying to think what "never" is, really gettin to me!

Got it Diane Ducane "Better Late Than Never"

Picked loads of copies up of this for 20p each in about 1980, gave quite a few away....it was released in 1979 on Contact it didn't make a lot of headway then, still a have one copy left & I actually quite like it, I read once that it was one of Russ Winstanley all time faves.....is that a pro or a con?

Anyone got a soundclip of that well known 4 figure tune by The Four Vandals?

Free for all - Philiip Mitchell, it really was a biggie at the Mecca circa '72, dropped dead the

day it was released on Jay Boy

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.

Edited August 21, 200816 yr by Koolkat

Sheila Anthony......Livin in love..............Massive ..........Never again methinks.

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?

Yes both played at the Mecca in 75

"Rodger Collins - Sexy Sugar Plum"

Really? I'm a big fan of 'Foxy Girls in Oakland' - a monster - and 'She's Looking Good', of course, but this is a real dog of a record. Isn't it? Wasn't it always?
