Well Amy can jolly well take it away again...

Wotcha, JB - I have - at the top of this thread

Liked Joss Stone's first album...can't stand Amy Wineyarse, her behaviour or her painful voice...love Nicole Willis's songs...quite like Sharon Jones' stuff...never heard of Duffy till an hour ago (via a youtube link posted in another music forum), but just ordered her upcoming CD. I rarely listen to music on the radio... Do I win £5?

Apart from ceremoniously smashing and burning them, that's probably the best use you could put a Ramones record to...

Thanks for the info, fellows - I was never sure (I'd spotted the REE-production "pun" way back, but thought I wouldn't mention it) It was a present from my little bro' about 23-24 years back, so it didn't cost me aught... ...and it plays fine

My copy of the Jades' I'M WHERE IT'S AT is on the REE label (Silver and black) - it says it's a promotion copy REE501 - b/w MOTHER'S ONLY DAUGHTER Matrix (hand-scratched) is as per the catalogue number. Is mine a kosher copy or a boot?

...I only included Soul-based albums - never thought about all the Jamacian or Pop/Rock stuff...

Mine changes frequently... Temps' THE SKY'S THE LIMIT (this one is always there!!!) Essential Northern Soul Story (GSCD1) T-Connection - AT Midnight: Best Of...

Slightly different, but I sent a disc of more music (for Villa Boy's www.reggaehitthetown.com) the other Saturday morning - it left Chertsey at about 12:30 p.m. and arrived in Pennsylvania on Tuesday morning...

Thanks for the comments, folks - glad I wasn't the only one who didn't know aught about it (not that I know much more now) If anyone gets to hear of a U.K. release date (DVD) for this, I trust they'll post in this forum...

Posted over @ Trojan by Jahbuzzz https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8LP41tRkXYg Anyone know about this film...nice trailer, great tune (the only Majestics' one I have, on a Gold Mine Soul Supply CD)? The very end suggests a 12th. June release (or is it 6th. December?) - but which date and year? Maybe December just gone... https://www.modculture.info/2007/12/mod-movie-young.html

You have a PM, DC...

I'm not the vindictive type, so it might well be Freddie McKay's SO LONG, FAREWELL - followed after a brief period of reflection by Johnny Clarke's version of NO WOMAN NO CRY

I can let you have a copy for "reference" purposes later on the week-end, DC - I'm not near my records right now. You'll no doubt be pleased to note that this will be direct from the Ska Beat single Please bung a post up if someone else sorts it first - ta.

Hi Geoff, Paulette Williams recorded MY ISLAND for Alvin 'G.G.' Ranglin in 1973 (U.K. Explosion - EX2084). Prior to that, she was one half of Paulette & Gee (Gee was a "Williams", presumably her sister!), aka the Sisters who recorded FEEL IT and a version of the Three Tops (a Rocksteady group who recorded for Duke Reid and so named after the Four Tops) DO IT RIGHT, called HOLD ON TIGHT in 1970 - also for G.G. (U.K. Camel CA55). They also recorded HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY? for G.G. - I only have this on a C.D. With Nora Dean (she of BARBWIRE fame), Paulette and Gee made up the Ebony Sisters, who recorded some handsome tunes for Harry Mudie in 1969, like EACH TIME and LET ME TELL YOU BOY. Whether Paulette Williams recorded any Rocksteady, I don't know. also, I have nothing later than the aforementioned MY ISLAND by her. Don't know aught more than that, Geoff. Hope it helps.

58, eh? Bet that filled up the stage

The Dells' harmonising on Cadet in the 60's and early 70s typifies Soul singing for me... THE LOVE WE HAD (STAYS ON MY MIND) is an all-time favourite of mine...

...usually, Geoff. Though a tune that's sweet one time, may be a bit sour a month later...

I shall try another tune - maybe 3rd time lucky will see it in the right place

I can't seem to work out how to put these into a separate topic...

Heptones - CHOICE OF COLOURS Their version of the Impressions' tune

Nearly, Chris - John Devour's gone to the wrong location. I'm gonna try another tune and see if I can get it right this time I needed help from another "Chris" to get this refosoul thing going...

Though released in 1973, the rhythm dates from 1969 - it's the D.J. cut to David Isaacs' version of PLACE IN THE SUN (posted in the '68 - '71 section) - Dillinger (real name Lester Bullock) was given this nom de disque by Lee 'Scratch' Perry to give a gangster feel as per Dennis Alcapone (whose real surname is the rather more prosaic "Smith"). There is at least one other mis-spelling of Dillinger - on FAT BEEF SKANK (produced by Prince Tony Robinson) he's credited as "Young Dellinger" ...and at this early stage of his career, had neither COKANE IN HIS BRAIN nor CRABS IN HIS PANTS Sorry - can't figure out how to do a "refosoul" link yet...waiting for advice. https://media.putfile.com/Dillinger---JOHN-DEVOUR-61
