pm'd you

Can anyone post the original of Jazzy Lady ?

mmm.... Clydene Jackson

Long time ago when I knew very little about soul I bought Joe Simon (on UK Monument) thinking it was the same as the Temptations!

The early George Blackwells took some beatings and the Coasters Crazy Baby were/are hard to spot.

Wanted This Little Girl of Mine Major IV on Venture min. vg+ total cost + postage please

Anybody know the origin of the Brookside 12"

thanks Pete,how did those compare with the US issues on the orange logo? I know Paul Anka and Lorraine Chandler were two of them.

RCA issued Dean Courtney IANY as a US release and followed it with a UK one Did any other RCA issues appear on the UK imprint?

my side of 'our' room shelves are wine boxessshhhhh.....

Always a great mix of music at the Ritz, New York Disco from the likes of Starship Orchestra, Aquarian Dream and Crown Heights, Jazzy with LL Smith, Chic Corea Manfredo Fest and 70s Tyrone Davis, Garland Green Millie Jackson and top notch Northern George Blackwell. Robby Lawson etc. Really Looking forward to it (how about Mr Ts record bar?) (no Colin Curtis)

Defined the word floater for me RIP Mel

Brenda Lee Jones Your the Love of my Life (although the numbering system was different) I first heard Dean Parrish at the Raven in Whitchurch spun by Sam also heard Frank Beverley and the Poets (Two Hearts)

Very nice, this version is a little more raw

The "Rare" series from Arista/Rca vol 1-5

The girl across the street side is about 4mins+ (Tom Moulton remix?) yet states 2mins30secsw on the lable. The try my love side has the same dead ending as the cd

Long 3.29 and short 2.34 Great Gary Glenn penned pop disco, I'm sure Colin Curtis used to play the LF version but the mix I'm thinking of had some wild horns in it.

Loads on ebay at the moment look darn similar to the 2002 stock more found perhaps? The sound sample of GATS is the remixed cd version at 4:10 yet the lable shows 2:30 curious!!

ouch! that hurts

newbeats, frankie valli, beach boys,johnny johnson and chart motown played at the youthclubs started me off onto northern soul

+1 terrific false fade ending

The MGM reissue was styrene I'm sure that all the Verve copies were vinyl ranging from very thick and heavy to quite thin and flimsy the latter being a later (re) issue Hope this helps

You're absolutely correct there. The Nicholas brothers are the focal point of that style because they seem to be the only ones recorded. Backdrops don't seem that far removed from Cossack dancing,when did Fiddler on the Roof come out? Trends now seem to be moving towards the Hokey Cokey and Greek line dancing.

I guess the style of dancing came from the performances of Jackie Wilson,James Brown and the acrobatic styles of the Mills Brothers. Dancing solo that's probably connected to the male mating ritual(lol)
