Thanks Mike, its now on my bucket list.

Any idea where this wall is?

Assuming its real and not photo shopped.

Heard any good acapella versions lately?

I'll start the ball rolling...

I've never been overly fond of the record, but this is a bit special

Im off shortly to pay homage to where it all started - 2648 W Grand Blvd  Detroit, MI 48208, United States

Apart from the above, is there anywhere else I should be checking out 'soul wise' in Detroit ?

Cheers

Not my cuppa T, but some may find interesting

Narrator is annoying too

If you are middle aged and dancing to the Candy & The Kisses - Do the 81, then you are in fact not quite right in the head.

We pay £120 per night for 4 hour session

They supply the tunes, we supply the kit

Excellent, has that 'banana splits' happy vibe

Really good read, thanks chaps

More alcohol these days...

Was at Wigan revival in Wigan with couple of mates a few years ago, who always stay to the end.

The night was awful, by approx 5am it was sparse, just a few walking wounded

Managed to persuade the promoter to end it early, so we could leave with our dignity in tact.

Top shuffling

Love the comment about the dealer charging customers to have a look around.

The bigger the record collection the quirkier the individual?

Very good.

A bit of joie de vivre in her dancing.

I'm pretty sure I remember the live version of "George Benson - On Broadway" getting a few spins back in the late 1970's/early 1980's

Yes it literally packed the floor. No room to dance as such, only sway left and right. Happy days.

I dont understand why they are foolish.

Assuming its legit isn't it nice to have a choice?

Maybe its this confrontational, outspoken attitude that people on the upfront rare soul scene have to others, that is causing people to drop off the scene.

If Butch was playing this on an exclusive half of the people on here would be crawling over the top of each other to find a second copy.

A mate of mine had a one off tape by Womack & Womack, that they left in their rental car.

But he has lost the tape. Doesn't get any rarer than that.

Similar intro problem - then we are in to shuffling heaven

Ignore the first 30 secs - if possible.

It will all be alright in the end, the true die hard soul fans rescued it back from the tourists & hand baggers at least once before & we will again, its all about the SOUL & I'm in this for the long haul.......

I do love your optimism Russ.

Regrettably though, you are as mad as a hatter.

Anyone know who the dance instructor wearing the red T on the web site is?

Just curious.

I'd say they are pricks!

I would like to draw everybodys attention to the trouble with free speech.
