Are you sure about the R&B bit? At his leaving do it was all either Northern or rockabilly, I'd have loved to have heard some black 50s music instead of so much white stuff. Whatever his latest passion is he's into it 100% and whether its for show or not, he often denies liking the current scenes of the old music he played after he's moved on; if you can follow that! Dancing is his main motivating force and it's as true of the rockabilly or disco or Northern whatever his latest passion is.

And let's not forget Horaces! All legally licensed UK originals of US soul sounds, though a couple of decades after their first release apart from the previously unissued ones of course. Those fetch a few bob at the moment.

It was a Rita and Benny Isen owned label, hence R&B. They licensed it directly from Joe Evans and were mainly ska/reggae and definitely aiming it at their clientelle. Ady

He certainly did Dave, but like you i can't remember what the hell they were. i can't even remember how he stopped DJing (presumably) and started again as a newies DJ. No doubt he pestered the hell out of me and had built up a good following so I booked him, I was always sympathetic to the newies theory even though i didn't like it 100% in practice. It's probably one of the reasons I brough in 45 and 30 mins spots so the crowd didn't have to suffer a solid hour of any DJs whose tastes might not have been everyone's cuppa.

Hi John, I've been looking for Vistones the last couple of years and not found too many. If you grab one or if you already know it, please let me know if it has a Dave Polk credit anywhere. Ta Ady

Not got it sorry, but there's an alternate version, same backing track by the Phillips Sisters out on a Kent Select 45 in a couple of months. It's on the Kent Harris R&B Story Ace CD out last month and is authentic, cut at the time and sounds very good.

www.6ts.info for details of the longest running and best weekender of them all Ady -
Thanks, that was easier. Not a bad side, just need a few bob now to get it!
-
I couldn't find it; I'm talking about the You're Too Good side. Itunes doesn't seem to have a search engine!
-
You're Too Good is the flip. Can anyone direct me to a listening source for this please? Ady

Randy just loved the slow records with a bit of a beat like Arthur Alexander 'I Need You Baby' and Big Dee Irwin 'You Satisfy My Needs' he had his own term for them that he used in his Black Beat column "Smooth E> Groovers" it never caught on lol.

Not too likely Mark, but I'll see what's possible. William's already bringing over his manager.

Trying To Love Two is definitely under consideration. I didn't realise I'd got prejudices in this area of my work, I always try to get the best set for the Cleethorpes crowd irregardless of what label the records came out on.

Yep, we've finally nailed our man. The epitome of a 60s and 70s male soul singer and a mainstay of the mighty Stax records outta Memphis for so many years. He'll be wowing the crowd with a full band with three horns and two female backing vocalists and will perform a great cross section of his stompers, crossover, club soul and magnificent ballads; a show to relish. 'Happy', I Forgot To Be Your Lover', 'The Man In The Streets', 'Never Like This Before', 'Private Number', 'Born Under A Bad Sign', 'You Don't Miss Your Water', 'My baby Specialises' and more; stunning stuff! I'll be sending a proper mail out with flyers and more details next week. We do have plenty of weekend dance passes left at £59 each by cheque to 6TS Weekenders 8 Buttercup Walk Desborough Northants NN14 2RT or £61 PayPal (to cover their charges) to this PayPal address If you're currently skint or a cautious Yorkie like mi sen, send £20 deposits or £20.75 PayPal balance due 1st June We don't have any accomodation left on site but there's plenty next door at Thorpe Park a walk away. Or B&Bs and hotels in town. See you in sunny June! Ady www.6ts.info

They were defo played before but i don't remember them being termed that until I heard guy playing Tommy Navarro at Stafford and that turned me on to playing them.

I've just not been paying attention as usual.

Did you speed up the Vicki Styles at all Warren, it sounds better over a system. This is a low quality link though.

Help! Get in the attic, you might find an old Frank Wilson too!
