Brilliant track, also covered by Symarip on the "Skinhead Moonstomp" LP on Trojan as Skinhead Girl. Just thought I'd mention it Paul

You could always lean over the Bar in Mr. Ms at Wigan and pour yourself a pint at any time of the night. Didn't everyone try it . And what's this about potentiontial bombers? have they started making them again Paul

I know it still isn't soulful, but I was on a flight to Majorca and Kenny Lynch was going to a pro celeb golf competition.

Unless it was him covering them up like Moses Smith/ You Don't Love Me, and the all time Classic, Footsee by the Sounds Of Soul Paul

The Orlons "Spinning Top".. Could never dance to it and had forgotten just how good it was until I was reminded via one of the Talcum Soul comps

I seem to think that it is actually a British recording, although it came out on the Okeh Album(that I have on Columbia). Maybe it says so on the sleeve notes. I know I read it somewhere. I'll check when I get home. Paul

Personally, I preferred the Hearts Of Soul! Paul

Surely if peole want to play only the original out then in the case of JJ Barnes then it should be played off the Rare Stamps Album as it was when it was a big sound. Oh no, the other perrenial problem, should you play Album tracks?. Before it really mattered, then you could play the original US release, the original UK release(as mentioned earlier, usually rarer) or the original Album track. They were all the original imprint(I'm talking about original '60s issues). They were all usually pretty rare. Nowadays if it is not the original US then it is frowned upon! When did the music stop being the main thing? Paul

Don't actually remember string vests, but at one time a lot of people wore either a vest or T shirt with a sort of comic strip type of design that said "Dragonette" or something similar. I actually preferred the bowling shirt look with my 40" bags. Paul

It's got to be the one on the avatar Paul

The only reason I have it is because it is on a 70's WB sampler that also has Lou Raglan "Since You Said You'd Be mine" oh and "Afternoon On The Rhino". Paul

I only remember that it didn't have the intro. Was it a different take? Paul

Following on from Genes thread about the Sounds Superb albums. What about other 60s and 70s albums with US rarities on them. I remember getting a copy of Funky Bottom Congregation when Herb Ward was big. Also I forgot the title but I have another RCA album with Willie Kendricks Change your ways. Wasn't Mamie Galore "No Right To Cry" on one as well. Paul

Great albums, I bet I wasn't the only person on here to rush out and get the R D Taylor one when "Ghost" was massive. I particularly liked the Stevie Wonder one, If I remember correctly it was a combination of the Uptight and Down to earth albums. All brilliant tracks Paul

While flicking through the channels after the cricket yesterday I came across another alternate take on a classic. Wade In The water by Whoever the choir was on Songs of Praise. Is it true that Aled Jones has a spot at the forthcoming Cardiff Allnighter. Paul

Wasn't it supposed to be Tony Turner on Musicor. Just a minute, isn't there a Tony Turner on Soiul Source? Paul

Anyone got a link to a soundclip of Eddie Whitehead? or an MP3. Never heard it but would like to join in the discussion. Love Mr Soul/Al Acott Paul

Sorry mate, but you are wrong definately April 74. I was there and I didn't go to my first allnighter until Sept 73(Va Vas). The acts were Hearts Of Soul????? Mel & Tim, The Exciters, Major Lance and JJ Barnes. It was also the same night as the Eurovision Song Contest, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I remember that little titbit of information.! Paul

You would have loved it Stevie. Concrete dancefloor, yellow "rain" nicotine stained condensation, terrible sound system. mmmmm, lovely. Another strange night. Paul

Can anyone lend me a couple of shrine releases oh!, and a frank wilson on soul demo? Paul

Had totally forgotten about one track until I heard it at a nighter in Barcelona the other week. It was one of those back of the neck hair standing on end moments when the DJ played "The Pain Gets A Little Deeper". Havn't stopped paying it since. One of the best. I hope things got better after your "Young Misery" Hi Darrow! Paul

He was playing the CD "The Northern Scene" on Decca. Some strange tracks on it, but the tracks I heard on Corrie was Flirtations. Billy Sinshine by Billy Davis and "Raise Your Hand" Britherhood Of Man. He also said that the Flirtations track was "Classic Wigan Pier"?? BTW Craig Charles does a Funk Show on BBC Radio 6. On it he has a Talcum Powder spot where he plays a couple of Norther Tracks. You can pick up the play list at https://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/craig_ch...cklisting.shtml Paul

Back to the Northern on TV again and last nights Coronation St(yes, I know but it is life to some people). The cabby played by Craig Charles trying to convert 2 young passengers to Northern. He was playing the odd Decca CD "The Northern Scene" and he turned the car radio up during The Flirtations "Nothing But A Heartache" declaring it "classic Wigan Pier"???. Paul Note to myself: I Must get out more.

Wayne County & The Electric Chairs "If you don't wanna f**k Me F**k Off".

I have always been confused by this speed dating concept. Do you verbal to some bird for 3 hours about the colour of a record label and then find out your d*ck has shrunk Paul
