Frank Foster - Harlem Rumble - remember this from late 80s with great affection and it still rocks me now Rich

Given I work here at Yorkshire TV that makes Heartbeat for ITV, I'll find out for you. As someone has already said though - it is basically a period drama set in the 60s and thus you can't really have a go at the accuracy of the dates etc as otherwise the show would have stopped long ago - we're currently on Series 14!! I'll report back in a bit... Rich

Collins - you're a dead man

Good thread mate. Jackie Wilson also gets in on the action in "You Got Me Walking" ..But your cookin' is good, your kissin' is fine And your lovin', baby, is right on time And later... Oh, breakfast in the morning, right on time (Feels so good) While you teach the little baby (La-la-la-la-la-la-la) a nursery rhyme.. "Women - know your place!!!!" (and before anyone thinks that's me, it's an old 50s information broadcast, where they actually tell the woman how to be a good wife - have tea ready when he comes home from work etc - hilarious!! ) Rich

I remember Mr Bicknell coming back from the States with a 100 box of them circa '93ish I think the same trip he turned up 25 Dean Courtneys on RCA black issues, 4 Trade Martins on Stallion, multiple Betty Moorers on Wand - decent trip!!! Remember Big Daddy????? Rich

Been hammering this for a while at Soulsville - great soul and a cheapie too Rich

Plenty Mr May. And in there they shall remain!!! (apart from the ones you know about that is)

Steve, the rubber woman was covered up as Billie Piper . Hours of pleasure God bless that wardrobe Rich

Yeah, it is Broken Man, also on Mercury UK 45 , both tracks taken from the same album. This was a "wardrobe find" at my folks' house!! By way of explanation, Jamie, my co-hort at Soulsville, purchased "Good Friend James" for a fair few pounds (but a lot cheaper than what it's going for now). When I go home to north wales to see the family occasionally, I dip into my old wardrobe (!!) where I've left hundreds of 45s I bought in the late 80s/early 90s. I almost fell off my chair when I saw "Pioneers" on UK Mercury. I rang Jamie up when I found it and said I'd turned up a copy of the Pioneers.....on UK Mercury...taken from the album (can't recall name now and don't have 45 with me here in work)....his response..."BASTARD WARDROBE"!!! Tragically it was the wrong one (was "Broken Man"), but it's still quite a nice tune.The wardrobe is infamous for turning little gems up - in the last year it's turned up mint Gordon Keith, Betty Moorer, Gladys (both) on O-Gee, Azie Mortimer on Bloomie etc. Sadly there can't be much left in there that's any good, but it's very amusing amongst us lot. It's like a Soul Tardis Rich

Lee's a good mate of mine too and a top fella. Like Rowly says, he did unexpectedly lose his job and has consequently been a tad difficult to get hold of of late - who wouldn't be financially in a hole after that? I'll try and get hold of him tomorrow. I'd be extremely surprised to say the least if this is anything other than a misunderstanding and/or a delay in finding the funds, although obviously you deserve to be kept updated. Personally I'd trust the guy with my life and I don't think for a nano second he would intend to break any deal that he'd shook hands with you on - he just aint like that - I've known him for 20 odd years. Maybe the delay like I say is due to the unexpected job loss. I'll get hold of him tomorrow... Rich

Super record!!!

JCP and MGM!!!! Must have been part of a bigger trade me thinks. Will be interesting to see if he changes the description... Rich

I didn't know that boot existed either so I just emailed the seller - here's his reply: "This is a repress that was sold over in the UK - I have only 3 or 4 I got is a trade for some Embers Originals on JCP & MGM.... Lil-peddler How many do you need ? Julian B. Fowler " I've replied saying that it may be prudent to state it's a re-press and take out the word "rare" from the description!!! Rich

Not him!! Totally different seller and mine's a mint purple issue, not a yellow demo! I had noticed that copy on Ebay and the other stuff - all mint. All strange Rich

I've said on here before how it's very suss that they're all totally mint - he had both Ascots up a couple of months ago. His sidekick "Group records" also has a Big Don's Rebellion - again brand spanking mint. Weird is all I can say Rich

I know John my old mucker - I've had it since about '89 and on a tape for a few years before that I'll give it my best oomph... Rich

Crikey, not heard this in ages!!! Will dig it out of the boxes and give it a play at Mark Bicknell's allnighter at Sheridans in the mid tempo lounge this saturday I'll wait till you've consumed at least 4 pints though...... Rich

That's Troy Dodds Mikey I think on El Camino (great looking label BTW!)... Rich

PS The new Frankie Knuckles LP has a great soul track on it, should I write to him to make sure he never does this again!! link

Hi mate, I think you've hit the nail on your head yourself when you say that all the tunes are fresh to you as you're relatively new to the scene. For people (ahem) that have been round a little while, it gets a bit boring if you go to do's reguarly that play the same old records week in week out - basically it gets boring. My own personal view is that it's brilliant to hear progressive stuff and stuff that you don't always hear - I think it's human nature to want to listen/try new things and that's why I try and get to those sorts of do's. It doesn't have to be rare (although often the rare records are good), just different and not something that's been hammered for 20/30 years. I don't hate oldies - far from it - I personally think any DJ set needs a few records in that are fairly well known, but my personal preference is to hear new good stuff as much as possible. Having said that, again it's horses for courses - there are plenty of well attended oldies nights up and down the country and good luck to the people who attend and enjoy them do's. As I've said on another thread, live and let live, it's a broad church we live in Rich p.s bas*ard Rovers will get you....

Bloody norah - this has to be the most bigoted, odious and self righteous post I've come across on this forum and I've been on here a little while now and seen a few that turn my stomach! For god's sake get a life. Have you heard yourself?? Who the hell are you to claim that everybody who dances to this stuff in rooms at soul do's has a "self congratulatory feeling of pushing boundaries" or in any way feels superior to other soulies - what a load of totally innaccurate narrow minded turd that is. Has it occurred to your Highness (for if anyone is coming across loud and clear as being superior to these mere mortals it is HRH The Dictator of Musical Terms) that these may be normal soulies that happen to like this music because it is just that - soulful???? Yes, oridinary soulies who may be partial to it. Like me. People will vote with their feet. If they do not like the music, whatever you want to call it, then they will not attend these rooms and the rooms won't last very long - if there is demand then unless I'm mistaken this is a free democratic society and people will attend. And your ridiculous comment that all people who attend these rooms and then go back into the northern room "smack of falsity" and "smack of limited knowledge and a fear of the unknown" is just laughable. Listen to yourself. If you don't like this genre then don't attend the rooms - don't try and stop other people enjoying themselves because it doesn't float your boat or in any way try and rubbish soulies who may want to try it, by you claiming it would somehow "taint" their soul credibility - as I say, let the people themselves decide. And for the record before you try and claim I'm a "dance/house" peddler, I'm first and foremost a 60s buff that also listens and plays crossover/70s and does appreciate good soulful house. I co-promote Soulsville in Leeds (with Jamie - "Soulsville" on here) and we've now got Pat Brady and John Parker as fellow residents who asked to join us, so we have to be doing something right. We don't have a "modern" room in the venue and soulful house is not played at our night as we're not massively into it. But I totally resent your bigoted thread trying to tell people what they should and shouldn't do at do's and trying to claim anyone who dances to soulful house at soul do's lacks knowledge, or feels in any way superior to the next soulie. I don't seek out Y2K nights or do's where these rooms are as I love my 60s northern, but I find your repugnant post totally nauseating. I don't know how old you are but I bet you'd have similarly labelled the newies or 70s stuff as elitist when that stuff was breaking. Christ help us if people aren't allowed to try new things. Good luck to promoters who do have the balls to do this. It's a big wide world we live in and you don't have to attend these rooms if you feel so paranoid and hostile to them. Get back in your ark and stop dictating and stereotyping other normal out and out soulies who may be partial to this form of soul music. Rich

There was that life assurance ad a couple of years back that used the backing track to Sam Fletcher - I'd Think It Over (minus the vocal). That certainly pricked my ears up as I was slouched in front of the telly after a hard day's graft!! Rich

Proper proper pish myself everytime I look at that - it's bloody hilarious Doesn't the woman have any family/friends to tell her she looks like she's got a TV set over each eye??!! Imagine if that was your mam!!!! I laugh out loud everytime I look at it - brilliant!! Rich

I had to pull the curtains down some months ago after Jamie used them to wipe his ar$e on. Thought it wouldn't happen again if I put blinds up. Three weeks later he was in A&E... Hope your journey back yesterday wasn't too horrendous.. Rich
