Paul R

As far as I know, he was the only rare soul artist to have been named after 2 Midlands towns. Paul

Also issued as the John Rhys lively set I think. Paul

Anyone else heard the Halfords advert on Heart FM(wife listens to it.....)? I'm sure whoever wrote the advert must have heard Steve Karmen, the bass start and deep voice narration. Very similar to Breakaway. Paul

A bit earlier he played Little Richard, Get Down With it, and Mary Love & Arthur Alexander. Good show for once, sometimes it had too much Frankie & Englebert. Paul

Ambers - Potion Of Love/Another Love Intruders - Check Yourself/It Must Be Love Paul

Got a Moses Smith Girl Across The Street for about a quid in 75 ish. Always thought it was a boot until I went to sell my records about 5 years ago & got Manships Boot guide & found out it was original.

Thank goodness I live in Portsmouth, I have this on my doorstep FFS Paul

Great news, with any luck I'll be able to get my Facebook Friends count up to 5000, or even more. My ambition is to have as many friends as Wigan had members! Right On Now, KTF Paul

Always loved Kim Weston, "I'm Still Loving You". Paul

I haven't said anything on here about the one show so here goes...... I was very disappointed that Keb wasn't there telling them that we dance like that because we all did Kung Fu. Anyone else notice this omission? Paul

The Live appearance was on a Wednesday or Friday early session. Not the allnighter. It was a bit of a scam by Pye records. They were issuing genuine northern sounds at the time, and they found Goodbye by Nosmo King, the B side of Teenage love, issued early in 74. They covered it up as the Javells & sent EMI discs to Russ & a couple of other DJs. To me it was a likeable pop record, but it went massive. As a record it was no worse than some other things played at the time, like Keith, Daylight Saving time, or Gary Feckiin' Lewis. The Javells were Nosmo(Steve Jameson) and a couple of Black female backing singers, probably to give it a bit of cred. After a couple of other releases like Lovin' You Is Easy(which also wasn't bad) He was quoted in the music press that he was leaving the northern scene, "which he helped to create"(FFS) Paul

Another that always works for me. I'm sure that as a kid I heard it on radio Caroline.

The first song that gave me that hair standing on end up the back of the neck moment is quite a surprising one. I had a lot of Otis, Aretha records that I loved, and I also had a few , what would be classed as Northern that I also loved, but in 1972 when My cousin played Vol 2 of the Motown Disco classics album & Two Can Have A Party came on....Boom, the hairs went and I though What the Feck was that!!!!!!! Uptempo still does it for me now. Paul

Play PJ on 45 & you have a great stompin' Pinkey & Perky Cover up!!!!!! Paul

Always wondered why the label on the B side of mine had done a runner.!!

It's always been a favourite of mine, hence my signature at the bottom(Which I've probably misquoted!!!!!) Paul

At 15 I was allowed into Vavas, but on my second visit 2 weeks later I was too young!!!!! By then the casino had opened & I started going there every week, Nov 73. Paul

How about this one? https://youtu.be/uJ4h1rFgx2Y

If it was Ms it doesn't count Paul

I don't remember either Northern Dancer or Exodus filling the floor anywhere important. Maybe at a youthy. Paul

As I mentioned in the other NS site: Orlons "Spinning Top" Paul

It always reminded me of Norman Johnsons "You're Everything". Paul

Sounds about right.

I would say, definitely a weeknight do. Paul

I remember Graham Bonney singing his version of this on "Lift Off With Ayshea" in about 1970. Paul
