Bitty Mclean Walk away from love

There are loads of great reggae versions of soul classics the original soul version does lend it self towards a reggae theme anyway

Sad news indeed He co wrote some classics ( Your song Dells 4 Tops Laura lee, love tko Teddy P O Jays, just to mention a few )helped Bobby on the poet and others) was also married to and wrote for Mary Wells RIP Cecil

I just tried to pay for a record and it wouldn't let me! payment went through though????, must have issues at pay pal

Not quite, the first 10 or so are proper demos with printed A's to the right of the title, Vala Reegan is like that, had a couple of others too Cheers Pete Yep now you mention it i think i've got one somewhere still hand stamped though

U.K. Red Atlantic demo's were the same just date stamped

Always makes me laaugh

WTF is this one all about, Light the blue touch paper and stand WELL BACK !

It was on the telly on saturday night so you should be able to watch it on some i-player if i could remember which channel it was on.

Wake up our kid ...... there was a separate thread on those EMI releases recently (see just above the top of the 'LOOK AT YOUR BOX' forum). Sorry missed that one !

never seen anything like this before https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laurel-Aitken-Im-Still-in-Love-With-UK-Original-1967-Columbia-Bluebeat-DB-106-/160948971237?pt=UK_Records&hash=item25794e66e5

Still have a few on Bluebeat but have this one twice as i like it so much

Getting their proper dues was one reason why some artists moved to England that and they were treated more as equals and much appreciated ,one example is Richie Pitts if you have ever chatted with him. I think the irony may be though that he has probably had more royalties from singing the Black Adder theme song than anything else, Adder 3: Singers Ritchie Pitts, Alison -’Where Love Lives‘ — Limerick, Lyn Kieran, percussion Nigel Shipway & Richard Marcangelo, oboe Sandra Mackay, cello Lesley Shrigley-Jones, accordion Gavin Povey, bass Robbie Burns, harpsichord Helen Ireland.

Odyssey Our lives are shaped by what we love Mowest 7" Now that's strange just listened to this clip all the way through ,my promo 7" has the vibes break on it and is 3.36 mins long are there two 7" versions ?

Dynamic Superiors You're what i need

Have a great Christmas and new year,big thanks to all the moderators for your hard work keeping us all in check!!!!

With people talking about The Fife Piper, Cochise, Interplay etc just wondered what makes a good instrumental? Willie Mitchell !!!!

I don't know why you did a sterling job and I was very grateful !!!!

Just bought this for £30:- Exceptional three Unlucky girl Way out 7149 but the other side has just blown me away can't stop listening to it FABULOUS!!!!

In the sixties i looked everywhere for a copy of Gene Chandler Such a pretty thing imports where really hard to get at the time,eventually picked one up on a market stall in Leeds,it's got correct labels on both sides run out groove reads AM-1290 1A still got it.Got home and put it on deck and this is what it plays https://www.divshare.com/direct/20925293-31e.mp3 Bloody gutted at the time,but have thought about passing it to a DJ and asking them to play it,but that would be cruel

Jeffree All my loving album track https://youtu.be/fif3704y74g

sorry

yeah. and i still had to pay to get in!!!!!! Probably around this time when you went away for weekend and left me to look after your house !!! I remember you played the Kittens Ain't no more room to much dance floor action and loads came away with it on a wants list. Think we got it in a Blues and Soul soul pack £5 for 100 records

I went to see Junior Walker at the Attic (late 60's/early 70's ) and there was a huge presence there. I was too busy listening to rare soul stuff new to my ears to take notice of quantity of reggae played. Yeah ! i was there ,next to stage on left hand side with a speaker right next to me,my ears were buzzing for a couple of days,he fell down on his entry and kept playing saxophone which we all thought was brilliant not realising it was all part of the act.Saw quite a few acts there J J Jackson twice Arthur Conley Edwin Starr , supposedly James and Bobby Purify ( which i doubt because in those days anybody who was black and could sing was passed off as real artists) The Original Drifters ,Fabulous Platters etc but best of all Billy Stewart who i loved and still do! .Remember there were large pillars with a shelf around to put drinks on which were covered in people trying to get a better view.No alcohol was served just a food bar that sold soft drinks tea coffee so we would get a pass out and go to the pub over the road .I remember coming home from school on a Friday night going to Attic all nighter coming out early morning walking to Askern ( about 7 miles) where a mates mum and dad were away on holiday dossing down and then having a party Saturday night and Sunday . Arriving home on Sunday afternoon where i walked in to Mum demanding where's my tea ,getting a swift clout across the earhole and a chastising "where the bloody hell have you been all weekend" Then doing the same thing all over again without a second thought.
