The Tempest

I live in a little market town called Pocklington, between York and Hull, in a nutshell , affluent area, elderley population, blah blah!! Six charity shops, and believe you me, been through them all, fantastic for designer clothing and cheap as chips, my mum in Scotland loves visiting, ( original mod in the sixties ) and now 67 ! Found the mint Frank Dell lp on Guinness and bits and bops over the years but how the hell they got here I do not know! Ian Clark told me years ago he use to sell to a major collector in town who ran one of the pubs but since moved on I proudly call myself the " only soulie in tne village " !!!!

Fantastic read, As you all can tell by my avatar, hearing various tracks at nighters during the eighties, the lp is nothing short of perfection from start to finish, so thanks

It must be a Scottish thing ! Having grown up listening and travelling to see Keb Darge , Colin Law and the Walls Brothers I fully expected as a paying punter to be heckled, bullied and blatantly told to " Get on the f******g dancefloor " to which I duly did. , no questions asked !!!! Can you imagine that nowadays !!!

Always nice to have an update on one of my threads, albeit 16 months later ! But now we know the difference, cheers :-)

Never understood why Secret and What's It Gonna Be weren't included on her album as they were all released in 67

Always liked The Vogues - Five O'clock World

******** Got another one of these if anybody interested ************* PM me

It's a treat just reading the playlists every other month never mind listening to the bloody records !!!! Top tunes as always guys ;-)

Patti Austin - " He's Good Enough For Me " Makes me smile on a Sunday morning listening to my 9yr old daughter sing it word perfect Top tune

Thanks guys ;-)

Nice one John, my suspicion was it was a late 80's / early 90's pressing , anybody got one / price ?

Thanks for the reply Kev, am aware of the 7" but not the 12" on KonKord !

Can anybody tell me anything about this, original / boot / price, etc........

Bump !!

Big record in Scotland with the oldies crowds in the 80's, always believed it was a Casino spin, cheap as chips !

Eddie Parker went for twice what I thought it was worth ! Thank God I don't collect 7's anymore ! :-/

Wesley Paige - Trapped - 635 One to seperate the men from boys on the dancefloor !! Koko Taylor - Fire - Checker An oldie but a goodie and still cheap as chips after all these years The Tempests - Would You Believe - Smash Sheer class from start to finish

Always preferred " Crying Clown " myself !

I have attended venues the length and breadth of the country and bumped into a pisshead at every one who didn't have a clue about the music, usually in the bogs ! Either membership or not ! Somebody will get them in , whether it be promoters to fill the venue or mates of mates on the door to continue a continued piss up !

Great record, first introduced to my ears by Mr Darge during his guest appearence at Glenrothes 1st Anniversary

I have an allnighter membership from the mid 80's for the Soul Explosion Soul CLub, which was in Newcastle somewhere ! Came down on the Edinburgh coach, Colin. Law and JIm Tennant were dj'ing and there was a dance competition which they judged which we all felt was weird and 10 yrs too late !!

I got this on a tape by Edinburghs Andy Dennison in 1987 , a collector and one of the " New " dj's to emerge at that time, Played out in Scotland at various venues late 80's onwards, but apart from the collectors never took off on the dancefloor, either too difficult to ,dance to or not uptempo enough , as you say fabulous record and indeed in need of the recognition it deserves.......

Always loved The Intruders track, great oldie to get the floor going, but £40 tops !

It went for £947.00 this morning
