Had a couple of listens to this......don't like it, sounds like a session warm up. very sparse.

There you go............George Byrd - I'm Available - Tangerine. Used to have one in my collection many years ago, totally forgot about it Great Track.

I'm getting a lot more tolerant nowadays, can't be bothered with the all the politics anymore, however, i wouldn't call it inspiring D.J'ng, moreover it is a Soul record, & if the paying punter dances to it then the D.J has done Ok, but wouldn't really expect it played at Rare / Underplayed night. Just played it & it got my feet tapping, must be something in it. Maybe it's time to bring all the divisions on the soul scene back together......still struggle with 70's though.

> Rosco & Barbara - It ain't right - Old town < ( Flip to " Could this be Love " )

Cheers Kev, I was a bit naughty & added mp3 file to thread, not allowed......Sorry Mike. Now linking tracks to refosoul John

> The Bleu Lights - They Don't know my Heart - Bay Sound < One of my favourites :

Phyliss Brown = Oh Baby

Mighty Marvelows _ So Confused = ABC

Is that a real place name ?

Maybe we should continue this thread on youtube

Just going through the latest additions, these two , i was going to include myself, would grace anyone's spot.

Maybe if replying to a post with a clip in, just delete the clip in your reply, so there isn't loads of replys with the same clip in.

Agree Byrney, If just one clip floats somebody's boat somewhere, then it's been worthwhile. I know most of the clips on here, however, had forgotten a couple, so has benefited me already.

Minit label strikes again. So many great tracks on the label. John

I would love to hear more lesser known tracks at top 500 nights, but most underplayed / Rare soul enthusiasts won't go a long to their local oldies night & hound the promoters & DJ's to play something different, So by default it's all top 500. Not a critisism more an observation.

That's exactly right Andy, lot's of blank faces, it's a fantastic soulful tune, however it ain't a dancer, & Top 500 nights are about the dance floor.

Gone a bit quiet on here. Try this one ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mffNYyVwCdY Garnett Mimms - Prove it to me

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEE-DEE-SHARP-What-kind-of-lady-ACTION-/151189615174?pt=UK_Records&hash=item23339a7246 Just spotted this on ebay, seems to be getting a lot of interest .......

Sheer class, always at the front of my play box, love it.......

> Bob Collins - My one and only Girl = Mainline <

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq9t-TQyTgE Another Stormer.............Top Drawer The Diplomats - Honest to Goodness - Minit

Some great choices here, can i throw this one in please..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jm-JOgsIrs Drake & the Ensolids = Please Leave me - alteen Storming Chicago........Ripe for revival

Not saying it's a bad tune, it's just not the kind of tune i would travel, & pay money on the door to hear. It's most likely played at the end of the night to clear the venue , so the bar staff can get the glasses collected. with respect.

i like your love is fading.........Another shopping mall track. Comin' home any day, true Northern Soul , I think the divisions are beginning to become apparent

See attached, guess the boot !
