Stafford Revival Tunes

Posted

Been daydreaming about hearing some of the old classics again. But, as some are played most weekends at venues all over, are there any old Stafford tunes that rarely get played that you are particularly looking forward to hearing at the re-union later this month?

I'll start with 2:

Inverts - Time will change

Tommy Rodgers - I'll tell it to the wind.

Yeah it's on Gogate. Who got Keb's old copy? Someone told me it was a bit trashed? (makes a change for a Keb record! :lol:   :lol: )

Haha, it took Keb ages to remember the Trent Sisters thing a couple of weekends ago at Wrighty's party after he'd drunk a bottle of JD. It was like he was trying to have a dump for about an hour, as he tried to squeeze the knowledge out of head. lol! :wicked:   :shades:

I Dont Know He Never Played Either Record For That Long (Also Makes A change)If Anyone discovered Records Of This Quality Now Theyd never drop em.

Hi Mark Was That The Wigan Tiffs I Got My bag Nicked ?On A Sunday Night ,Monday Was A Bank Holiday?

Yes Keb Did Play Some Crap ,Happy Days.

I remember Ion getting 2nd copy of Trent Sisters and selling it to Carl F. (I Think), Keb didn't persevere with it as He didn't need to at the time, his & Guy's turn-over often led to sounds being dropped after 1 or 2 plays.

Has anyone got a soundfile of the Trent Sisters?

I used to love Keb uncovering tracks

"That was the Pusseycats, which is really the garble garble, ###ing thebv guaranteed."

And then watch as loads of lads would huddle together while one rushed up to find out what it was in English :wicked:

ps I think the one I'm thinking of was the Miller Sisters, - you're love is guaranteed. 100 mile an hour :lol:

William Cummings was played before Stafford, sure Butch said it turned up in'76/77??

Mike, is that Pussycats- I want your love that you referred to?

What a record that is :wicked: .....didn't realise it was one that Keb broke!

Going back to the Ree Flores, I reckon it's earlier than it's often given credit for.

Plays it later where Hippo?

On my tape from (1985) Stafford tape, where I took the Toni Washington from earlier today

Yes, taped with my trust old cassete recorder - they were quaint machines made redundant before you were born, James

"foreign language" for Keb that would be the Queen's English then!

Not sure. Depends on how drunk I get at Brentford. Maybe for a few hours early on.

Well worth the £20 if you like stompers.

In A Scottish Accent;

'This Is Little John Alias Jimmy Raye And One You should All Know Buy Now'

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: Happy F****N Days

What about Keb's old Jimmy Rare cover up (Littel John)? "Just Wait And See". Has that been played much since the mid 80s? I've seen it on a couple of playlists, but not very reguarly? :shades:

link

Shit Rare Thats Why,Was Pressed Though,

Correct Me If Im Wrong But Was This On 'Gogate' ,Same As The Other Keb Spin 'Trent Sisters A Letter A Day' I Havnt Heard This Since Stafford.

Little John, heard it on and off over the years but not with any regularity. Carl Fortnum plays it out these days.

Trent Sisters heard the odd time but not for a good few years. Probably totally forgotten or even unknown to the magority these days.

Few I'm looking forward to hearing if at all possible.....

Spidells - Pushed Out Of The Picture

Little Charles - It's A Heartache

Lee Bates both of 'em..

Limelights - Don't Leave Me Baby

M&M & The Peanuts - The Phillie.....great cheapie (just picked a nice clean copy up even cheaper :lol: )

Matt Brown - Sweet Thing

and to finish off a real slowie......

Faye Crawford - What Have I Done Wrong :shades:

I regard the Faye Crawford 45 as one of the very best of its kind. Far better than many run-of-the-mill beat ballads, it really is majestic. And pretty rare on black issue too!

I'm 99% certain Johnny Maestro was not played at Stafford, and only became big via Ady long after TOTW had closed!

William Cummings was played before Stafford, sure Butch said it turned up in'76/77??

ritchie andrew (on here) should have full score on johhny m, you out there ritchie??

I'm not certain but sure I've got Johnny Maestro on a Stafford live tape, Ady playing it. Will try and dig it out. Know it was a 100 Club monster around that time, maybe bit after Stafford had closed??? C'mon Ady put us out of our misery :shades:

I'm sure I heard it at Stafford too, but I thought it was Ian Clarke who spun it.

Dont remember this, sounds interesting, thought I did remember record with same title by Headliners played by Keb, another false memory from me?? Anyone remember ?

Cheers
