The Ravins Your Love Is What I Want Demoristic The Perfections Just Can't Leave You Acetate Nancy Wilcox He'll Be Leaving You Pied Piper-Mick H and Ginger have original acetates of this so does it get spun much in t'North? Paramount Four Sorry Ain't The Word Kent anniversary 45 and Kent single Etta James Can't Shake It Chess unissued apart from CD Bettye Swann When The Game Is Played On You Atlantic Sharon Scott I'm Not Afraid RCA Acetate Willie Kendrick She'll Be Leaving You Pied Piper acetate Sag Warfare Don't Be So Jive Sir Henry Ivy - "He Left You Standing There" Future Dimension Charlene & The Soul Serenaders Can You Win Volt September Jones Voodoo Madamoiselle Pied Piper Darrow Fletcher What Good Am I Jacklyn The Demures I Wanna Be Good To You Judy Freeman Hold On RCA German LP long version The Tams Hey Girl Don't Bother Me ABC (rare on the decks if not a rare record) Just a few to get the ball rolling. I've not included any recent spins that haven't fully taken off yet. It's just records that have seemed to be very popular this year from my position at the bar.

It is what it is. We seem to live in a different Northern Soul scene in the south (some logic there?). I'm afraid I'm way out of touch with what gets played in the North in upfront and oldies venues, though I do ask about and send the occasional spy out. So to open a debate on the more progressive scene I'll start a thread and list a few that have been genuinely popular at the 100 Club.

Got Danny too now. Thanks for looking.

Yes like Phil Coulter but a bit more class

Thanks Steve, that's fine by me. Bring it Thursday Tone or whack it in t'post to Ace pliz

He's in a world of his own! Ta

Is it only Smiths with this record? I've offered a deal to Steve now so his shout. Are you coming on Thursday? I've got your present.

No, I didn't Steve, could you send it over to me, I think you're abroad but it should still be OK. I'll PM you. Cheers Ady PS Great little instrumental isn't it PPS Still need Danny & The Velairs folks.

Come on SS, don't fail me!

'Cat Dance' and 'Shaggy Dog' VG+/Ex copies needed for dubs please. CDs and thanks in return. Cheers Ady Reply on here or PM or email ady.croasdell@btinternet.com is good

Thanks for all the sound advice. I think the scratch is quite deep but I now have some idea

Thanks, but surely that would depend on the thickness/nature of the scratch, I think this is quite deep.

I knew you'd had experience. If anyone else is a dab hand at it, please volunteer as I wouldn't trust myself on this 45 as my first attempt. I think experience and confidence is the key here, same with brain surgery but not as important.

With the loss of Boba, who would be best to straighten out a scratch on a record that causes a jump please? Ady

And Blue was a talented songwriter, producer and talent spotter, his name is on a lot of non-Manhattan Carnival records.

Nowt to do with Mirwood apart from nicking the backing track aka Cigarette Ashes. Vocals added much later I would assume

It was an unmarked box and I think Audrey's name was used as it wasn't Johnnie Mae. Give it a listen and compare with other Sharon recordings. And let us know

Which I think was probably also Chicago; nice cover though.

Yes and interestingly a Los Angelean with mainly LA recordings, though his Chess ones were done in Chicago.

Smashing

Not gone through this and I'm sure he's there but Jim Eddlestone a Lincoln legend takes some beating; a one-off

What's weird is there are a lot of Stomp Town songs on BMI but not the Hate one; the flip's on though

I think Charles Jones was "Big"and Gene Casey was a jazzer who recorded on Prestige in the early 60s. BMI does have Duke and Leonard as Duke McKenzie and Leonard Jewel Smith but I reckon that must have been an error as he was always West Coast as far as I know and Stomp Town is NYC> However stranger things have happened.
