here's a couple personal to me The next in line ----Hoagy lands Nothing worse than being alone----Ad libs A couple of 'you just had to be there tunes'

Fair and valid point that is. I bet I am not the only one on here who has been 'rolled' at least once for gear,records,money or even clothes . There were some right evil c&nts about back then.

Lets get it on --Marvin gaye. must be 2 or 3 of these. Heard a new one(to my ears anyway) on Mary Fox show on radio last night. Not too bad either

You not wrong there mate looking forward to saturday night

anyone fooled by this when they first heard it . No no no no no no no no no no no..... Human Beinz

Yes Mart, I prefer the vocals myself mate . the instrumentals of those tunes would be interesting though................ wouldn't they?

Blimey it is a hard question!! Its probably easier to split the atom than restrict it to 5. Looking forward to hearing those 5 and many more at the 'Cats' special at Rugeley in July

You are probably right I'll retract that. Was brenda and tabs on a red label wannit? Yes thinking back you are right! Try this one for seperate intrumental record to a vocal. Just come to mind. Lady Lady lady--Producers. Now that knocked a few windows out in its heyday Dee Dee sharpe surfaced a little later didn't it?

Ah thats a good 'un used to be one or two that had vocal and instrumental on t'other side. Remember Brenda and the tabulations ---A love you can depend on and its instrumental ?

I paid £15 at the Torch for said love you baby. Sold it on to a club dj for £20 about a month later unfortunately it came thru on import 2 weeks later and I didn't know---honest guv. seriously I had no idea even though usually at that time you sort of knew what was coming thru a week or two before it happened. Not in this case . I think Minnie played it but at the time there were not many around when I bought it --pretty sure on that. Anyway the club dj thought I was a right b***ard at the time. It was his fave sound and he had bent my ear to get this. Alls well that ends well though-- he agreed to dj at my wedding

Yes and another, Wear it on your face---The Dells. Frightening when you think, isn't it

I haven't heard of that one Rick(But I don't know much ). If it does exist why haven't they shared it with us!!! Please please let it be so and make it happen

Malc, Have PM'd yer Jez

here's a couple and I bet I wasn't the only one You're my Girl----Little Richard I love you-------Creation

Well, interestingly enough I have seen one or two posts on here in the past week from Keith. So if you're out there Keith, come on mate ,fill in some 'gaps' for us please

Back of the net!!! Been far too long since I've heard that out. Am going to a bit of a coastal shindig next week. I wonder...................

At my daughters wedding this afternoon -----but she don't know that yet . I have 'crossed the DJ's palm with silver' and he has promised to throw a couple in however i shall retreive said silver back if he plays Frank and Al (wilson bros)

Ooh yes 'spine tingling' intros (refer back to Ian Dewhirst's post). . I am sure someone can help us put a cost on these first time round. With regards to philip mitchell, I seem to remember this turned into another Jayboy 'phenomenom' similar to Jimmy Conwell. You could pick up a copy from the Torch for half a quid

Thanks for 'enlightening me' BrianB, Julian and Brian Phillips. I can remember now In an attempt to prove to myself I wasn't completely losing me marbles in thinking about a 'spanish' connection(I bought the bugger for £3) , Checked the old t'internet and it was on Barclay a spanish press. Tell you what this internet thing is brill innit. I bet folks could become experts in less time than it takes to boil an egg!!!!!!!!!!! Way back then it took yonks to gain any nouse didn't it, but we had fun doing it

Julian Do I remember the los canarios as being only on the spanish label ? Or can you enlighten me otherwise

Fair play on that mate just wondered about that Mickey lee lane one and as you say it was played out by then Blimey that UK stuff sounded good cheers Jez

Yes mate thanks for that. Interesting reading hadn't seen that thread

ah Mr Philips just the man Along with that Mighty mighty good way you mentioned am I right in thinking at the same time that Bettye swan--make me yours was about the same price £15ish. One that did bug me at the time was Mickey lee lane---Hey sahloney. What was the selling price for that matey.Was offered one for a tenner never took it up but the seller insisted that was cheap. same time as the above roughly. Just an idle thought 'cos I thought it was less than that(£2 i thought right) Sorry mate to pick yer brain

Yes Eddie, Yes again I recollect that one. I had £100 pounds in my mind but am probably wrong . Possibly was Minnie (bit of a mover and shaker back then wasn't he). however didn't it come out on Jayboy after a few months for all and sundry to own. Anyone out there enlighten us.
