Hello Godz Cant help with the Tony Drake 45 but just found this effort by Jimmy Castor out. If you want it PM me with your details and its yours free of charge. Its absolute shite Cheers Craig.

Spot on. Donni Burdick tends to narrate rather than sing his version but still a great sound but comes nowhere near Edwins work of art.IMO.

The Deon Jackson Lp on Solid Smoke. Like the Tammi Terrell Lp not a bad track on it. Absolute class.

Darlene was also lead singer for The Blossoms who made some great soul 45s in the late 60s. I have an Ode Demo of Cry like a baby from 1968 and Darlenes lead vocals on this big production are quite stunning.

A few I allways have to get up and have a dance to. You just dont know - Chubby Checker. The Champion - Willie Mitchell. Get it baby - Stanley Mitchell. Lets talk it over - Spencer Wiggins. Love is like an itching - Supremes.

Was listening to a local radio station the other day which had a phone in about which pop stars had appeared in movies which got me thinking. What soul artists have appeared in movies? Struggled to come up with many Diana Ross - Lady sings the blues , Ray Charles & Aretha Franklin - Blues Brothers , James Brown -Rocky. Tina Turner - Mad Max3 Any more suggestions the more obscure the better.

Didn't Go on by Jimmy Mack and Look at me by Dave Hall have the same backing? One more that deserves a mention that I will own in the future by hook or by crook is Morris Chestnut - Too darn soulful / You dont love me anymore - Amy.

Another great double sider I bought recently. Bud Harper - Mr Soul / Let me love you - Peacock. Superb!

Its Peggy Scott - Youve got it all It was released on Pinnacle PIN 73 in 1979 Was the same Peggy Scott as In Jo Jo Benson& Peggy Scott Fame.I was 18 when this was released and I loved it.Havn't heard it for ages!

Have to agree with The Mikki Farrow 45 , by far the best double sider ever Heres a few I have that can be picked up quite cheap Larry Atkins - Lighten up & Aint that love enough - Highland. Big Maybelle - I cant wait any longer & quitting time - Rojac. Willie Hutch - How come baby you dont love me & Cant fight the power -Soul City. Flo Ballard - Forever faithful & Love aint love - ABC The Supremes - Love is like an itching in my heart & Hes all Ive got - Motown.

Jazz - Sonny Stitt - The double O soul of pt1 & pt2 - Awesome.

Charlie Rich - Love is after me Ronnie Dove- Chains of love Ronnie Milsap- Aint no soul left in these old shoes Barbara Mills - queen of fools

Northern Soul is a very broad church that crosses over from many other musical genres from the 1950s up until the present day. What songs and artists seem to fit well into this category comfortably from the following types without bieng too unacceptable. Name some from these. Rock n Roll Country Reggae Jazz Latin Doo Wop

Sold my Uk black Chess copy of this last year because I hated the thing , it was actually like bieng in church listening to it with all the hand waving business going on. Heres a soundfile. https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Gospel_Clas...hat_We_Need.ram

Gospel classics - More love thats what we need.

Oh well , try the Mary Wells version then. Sorry about the quality of these uploads as Im still learning how to get them right. /index.p...cmd=si&img=2429

Just found a version of Sunny by Chuck Jackson in my collection that i have never heard before. Typical big voice & production.Brilliant.Anyone else heard this version?

I heard that Mark but it suggested putting it in the oven for a while . Personally it bugs me to see a mint 45 with a lump like a camels back going round while its playing even if it plays great!

Ive heard for it to be succesfull it has to be a number 45 bus for a single an a number 33 bus for a Lp

Following on from the advice on how to clean records , what is the best way to remove a warp from a record. I have heard various remedies but what really works? I heard if you put a warped record in the microwave for a couple of minutes it would become pliable and you could bend it back into shape. Tried this with a warped Doris Day 45 to see if it worked and it bent back into shape as flat as a pancake. Then tried it with a mint but slightly warped Eddies my name on Parkway , bent it gently and it snapped in two. Does anything actually work to remove warps?

On particularly filthy stained records use nitromors and a wire brush as a last resort

I do what Pete just suggested but with washing up liquid and water mixed and sprayed on out of a styling spray bottle with a push pump spray and played with the solution on wet . If the record is particulary dirty or scratched put a pound coin on the top of stylus and it tends to clean it a bit deeper.It works well and sometimes gets rid of some skips and jumps. I have an old record deck I use only for this.

There has been 2 cd releases devoted entirely to cover versions of Sunny A Collection of Various Interpretations of Sunny, Pt.1 with 16 versions & Pt2 with a further 17 versions!
