I'm sure it is then, i just wondered about them using the same number on two different releases. Funnily enough Boba sent one back to a dealer cause he wasn't sure then realised he'd probably made a mistake
-
Either please
-
That'd be great, thanks. Consider that one off the list folks. Still need LC
-
Needed please. Hi res (300 dpi min) please and CDs await you. Ady

Yes please she may remember. i'll email you.

Anyone know if Someone To Fulfill My Needs is kosher? It's the same cat no as the first issue of One Little Dance and the scan I saw looked iffy but Jeff Lemlich thought it was proper and got his from the label owner so it sounds OK.
-
I agree Rob, but I should have added that this Clyde Wilson was an occasional writing partner of Rose Marie McCoy in the early 60s and I think is likely to be an East Coast guy. I was hoping someone might know of other Clyde Wilson work on the East Coast as I can only account for the late and early 60s.

I've just noticed that the normally reliable R&B Indies book has SMC records as out of Detroit co-owned by Leroy Kirkland and Clyde Wilson AKA Steve Mancha. I'm virtually certain this is wrong. Leroy was out of NYC and SMC was 69-71 when Steve was around Invictus. Also the other main artist on SMC is Bee Bee Butler who recorded for Barry also NYC. Still any verification would be handy. Ady

I forgot to put the flyer in my recent mail out which was thus. In an effort to keep things fresh, after 35 years, down the soul-drenched basement, we’ve come up with the currently in-vogue notion of employing a curator for the 100 Club all-nighter. For the first of these occasional endeavours in August we’ve chosen Matt Bolton a regular fixture on the 100 Club dancefloor and a noted DJ, collector and promoter to boot. It’s not a complete revolution at the palace as Matt’s #1 DJ is Butch and he’s stuck with me; in my dotage I need to spin a few to stay awake. Matt has an impressive collection of black music of all genres, accumulated over his years of soul scene participation — he’s young but he ain’t no chicken. He has chosen two guests that are largely new to me, but of whom I am hearing great things. In Matt’s words: An ardent collector of all things soulful through the ages, renowned veteran compiler Darren 'Red Greg' Griffiths sends ripples of joy through all that hear him play. Renowned in 70s circles for his exquisite taste his personal predilections encompass the sweet female soul of the 60s. We can't wait to hear what gems he pulls out of his fabled walls of wax. Steve 'Mr Fish' Clancy's sales lists alone are the envy of many DJs, so just imagine what wonders his playbox holds! Prepare to be dazzled with a glutch of hen’s teeth, in-demand monsters and a sprinkling of Mr Fish exclusives. Matt will be going the extra mile in promoting the night and the event will no doubt draw some new ears and feet to our venerated establishment. Ady

The difference is it's not the bloke who's put on the do this time. And I don't think the DJs are particularly Matt's mates, he has more class than that; that's why I chose him for this.
-
That's about it Martyn. They get the whole night but as I said in the blurb, Butch is his favourite DJ anyway and he's lumbered with me.
-
That's the nub of it. It's a different angle from a person I trust and respect and has a better knowledge of who's playing what and where and also who can keep him and his crowd dancing all night. I take your point Kev about we've not done too shabby over the years but I've always tried to liven it up where I can and this is a well considered departure. There's no denying Matt will improve on my promotional skills and being busy with my lad most weekends I'm not getting to hear what's going on in the soul world enough.
-
Enjoyable but I do feel sorry for Ten CC not getting a mention, they were a major top quality group.
-
Nope, off the Romark Records CD on Kent thankfully.
-
That'll sound nice live too!
-
It's called the 100 Club and it's ongoing.
-
Yay
-
It's a great early 70s slow blues Romark recording. Has anybody heard it played? Probably on that Sky Sat morning show that plays a lot of good soul and blues.
-
A year earlier then; what do I know, it's Modern!
-
Yep the Billy Cee is a different version of the same song, sounds slightly earlier to me. The Tommy Raye is indeed issued on XL and there's a scan of it in the booklet. 20 of the 24 tracks were previously unissued, four are merely obscure. Fab CD.
-
Poor darling and Jon's had such a hard time of it too but got on with it happily. Sue was incredibly brave too and it was wonderful to see her down the 100 Club a few months ago. She was loving every minute and the lads had to drag her away for her own good. My condolences to Jon, Pete and the family.

Torture is an improved better quality tape mix from Town 110 but the main reason for the 45 being on CITY/Select was the Chuck 'Millionaire'.

Sorry Cleethorpes-lag; not thinking straight!

Dear Cleggster, Some weekend! Thanks to all who attended and supported the event so strongly. Within a couple of hours of arriving at the venue I was out of my despair; your attitude and spirit turned it into a hugely enjoyable event and amazingly, one of the best weekenders ever (certainly one of the most memorable). Lessons have been learned. By sticking rigidly to the licensing hours this year we can now go ahead with the 23rd 6TS Cleethorpes Northern Soul Weekender in 2015. The licenses will be applied for at the first opportunity and will be scanned and put up for all to see on the 6TS site so you can board your trains and boats and planes in complete confidence. Many people have said that the nighters were running longer than necessary anyway so I’m thinking 5 am on Friday, 6 am on Saturday and back to 2 am on Sunday. Let me know if you feel strongly against this please. Please refrain from any actions against Cleethorpes council, that would only cause problems for the future and if there is any redress to be had legally, I will fully investigate it. Only a few people know that Sandy had a bad fall after the autograph session on Saturday night. I had tried to persuade her to have a drink but she stuck to orange juice but then had a freak fall off a pavement and landed on her face. There was a huge swelling and she was taken to Grimsby A&E where luckily she was seen straight away by a doctor who confessed to having 4,000 jazz LP and hence gave her his very best attention. It was bruising and the ice pack worked, so that the next day she just had a black eye which was quite easily concealed. She was an absolute trouper and refused to blame anyone, just got on with it as she and Greg had done all the week. They stayed an extra day in London and I got them to Heathrow yesterday afternoon so I have not had a chance to start the refunds yet as I am back at my full-time job today. I will do the PayPals tomorrow and as many of the cheque refunds as I have cheques for on Friday; if you need the dosh urgently please let me know ady.croasdell@btinternet.com Thanks to all who helped out and to the DJs who didn’t even murmur about losing half their spots (cheques in post Friday gents). I think unlike England we turned defeat into victory and it was all down to this exceptional scene of soul lovers and friends we have. Thanks so much Ady Ady Croasdell photo via Ady credit - Chalky P6AKOJun 18 2014 05:31 PM Hi Ady, well what a great weekend once again,thankyou!!! didnt matter about finishing early,we felt by finishing that time a lot more people made it out early on the afternoons, and we were not so wrecked lol We think even 4am fri &sat would be good 2am sun. so whatever is decided we will still be there!!!. for us 4 it was one of the best !!!
