Clip on here in soul club record of the day thread.

Previously unissused till Goldmine put it out as b side of one of their 7" has since been put out on starburst i think. L V Johnson Got to get rid of you same as J J barnes so think it would be a Groovesville recording by Don Davis BRILLIANT! https://youtu.be/SFhUUNNg2sY

Blew my socks off when i bought it in 69 https://youtu.be/E9HpZmok0eY

I think the record and player also came back from Nam. https://youtu.be/V5-83NJ1FSU

Some sneaky F**kers about. Kegsy Well done that man saved us all from oblivion How are you by the way Young Man

Benny Latimore I'll be good to you Dade D241

Anybody got a decent condition one for sale i'll have one.

This was passed onto me from a European soul fan via my big bro, so just passing it on a French tele prog from the sixties. https://youtu.be/amo2PQKHmq4 check Brook Benton out.

Hi Mart don't think it's got anything to do with the promoters whatsoever just Pontins dragging their feet. Very frustrating for all

As far as i know the new owners asked several parties to put in a bid to run a soul weekender at Prestatyn,including the crew who used to run it,but because of the cost of live acts it may just be a D.J. run event.The above source was reliable but looking at the time line for refurbs. etc. it may well be a last minute thing.It,s down to the new owners in the end.

An e-mail i received last week:- I'm told that there WILL BE a Prestatyn Weekender this March, but it may not be confirmed until the major refurbishment work currently being undertaken at the camp is completed in late January / early February. By then it will probably be to late to set up live acts & the UK backing musicians.

j j barnes I'm the one who really loves you. Uk 7" b side,this really grows on you!

What is a carver? A blank disc has the groove turned (carved) into it as a one off copy of a piece of music as apposed to being stamped into vinyl.Will not last as long as stamped vinyl and not as good quality.

Here's one from the same stable as Otis Williams released on Soul Intention from the Emkay label no EM 1004S Hypnotics One Way Ticket DivShare File - hypnotics.mp3 It may be getting a release also therefore only a one minute clip

Doris Willingham jayboy 1 has a point where backing track slows down as if someone touched tape but she keeps singing,don't know if U.S. issue has same fault.

edit

Bobby Patterson released in USA & UK https://youtu.be/NGtcunOWI2s

Brenda Lee Eager

Will probably watch it then,he often has some decent artists on, thanks for the tip.

Let's face it I don't think it is going to make a huge difference to anything regards the scene ,but at least some one listening may think i love the music and will try and make it out to a soul night.There have been several attempts to look at "the scene" before but most look from the outside and don't quite get the point .I don't suppose we will hear anything stunningly new so i don't expect too much,but it is only good that someone formally involved with the scene is giving his own personal view. I know loads of miners and working class lads who looked forward to the weekend in days gone past as it was a great relief and took them into another world where most were on an equal standing and they could forget the drudgery of everyday life.(and still do) and a big thanks to all on S.S. and all who run the site.

Good grief the bloke likes northern live with it! Half the time we moan the scene doesn't get any exposure and when it does you slag it off,suppose it spoils the exclusivity of it all for some .You don't have to listen. Just thought some may be interested that's all
