Just noticed your Globetrotters avatar Paul. I'd forgotten all about them. Got an RCA single somewhere of "Cheer Me Up". Seem to remember it was half decent. Anyone else recall that?

Duh.... Just my weak attempt at humour, Paul. I don't ever remember hearing it out. And yes you're right, it's on Direction in the UK and you've got it on the B side of "Come on in". Great little skippy, happy tune.

Dumb question repeated; so how does he get them/find them?

Inez and Charlie Foxx - Baby Drop A Time....?

Ta for the clip Pete - sounds like a typical Torch sound to me, and from my perspective, that's always a good thing. This might be a daft question, but, from everything I've heard, Butch seems to be the leading NS DJ in the country; so...... how come? I mean, how does he get so many exclusives that no-one else can get their hands on? Is Butch a big money spender or just a great crate digger/soul detective?

"Do it" - an amazing slab of proto/Northern funk. Fab rif

Me too - what a trip that would have been. "Hey Eddie.. a little more passion please fella..... Love you baby, take 5...."

The bottom line (for me) is this: IT WAS GREAT TO DANCE TO!

I wonder if the team responsible read the Soul Source Forum! A few months back I suggested that it would make a great song for Joss Stone to cover (gives self pat on back!) Good on 'em - it's a super version.

Just heard that remix of Ann Sexton, You been gone too long. Sounds great to me - really well done. Would post a soundfile if I had one. Funny thing, but I always thought this song was a great candidate for a re-make. What's the story? Anyone know who was behind the remix? Best Colin

Crikey - I remember Just Pants in Worcester! used to get me Brutus shirts and trousers in there! Colin

I'm with you on that Paul - would love to hear an mp3. Must be 20 years since I heard that track! Anyone? Please? Colin

Just had a thought - was the B side of Sonny Warner another dancer? Or is my mind playing the same old tricks....

It was Sonny Warner I was thinking of - thanks all!

Ok, I admit it; three decades of abuse are taking their toll. Always had a problem with short term memory loss, but now things are getting worse. There was a track popular in the latter days of the Wheel. It was on Chess, Checker or Cadet. Male vocalist. Something to do with bell bottoms? Can anyone name that tune? I can't think of it for the life of me, but I recall it was a corker.... Thanks! Colin

Thought he was OK at Birmingham last year, but surprised he was coming back so soon.

Thanks!

I remember that! I copied the words from Dave's "Lyric Turn On Of The Fortnight"! Then wrote them in a lurve letter to me girlfriend. She dumped me the very next week. Fortunately, soon after, Dave also feaured the Ad Libs, Nothing Worse Than Being Alone! It's mad the things that stick in your brain ain't it?

Are there any tickets left?

I'm pretty sure that I've heard the track more than once on various promo's. It was certainly in a movie score - Paul Newman film rings a bell. Someone will correct me or confirm, I'm sure. Levine or Curtis used to play it as last record in the Highland Room.

Is this the girl from Finland?

Just had a thought - does anybody have any interest in doing a deep soul CD swap.......

Sold mine for 25 quid in 1981! Ouch

My brother in law was spinning soul in local clubs during the Wheel days. He covered up a lot of his records like Clifford Curry, Johnny Taylor, Johnny Wyatt etc. Why? Because at that time they were not yet deleted. You could pop into your local woolies and order them.... IF you knew the title and artist.

Agree. And even at the time it was slightly silly.
