Inspired by Chalky's latest "underplayed and underappreciated" 6-pac of tunes in the sounds sections, I tried to think about 6 tunes I haven't seen much on playlists lately. So I came up with these: Ditalians - I Gotta Go - TRIP Cliff Nobles - Your Love Is All I Need - ATLANTIC Billy Keen - I Finally Got Wise - GALAXY Nate Holmes - You're Still On My Mind - ABC Bluesbusters - I've Gotta Get There - CAPTIOL Gloria Walker & The Chevelles - Need Of You - FLAMING ARROW I also threw them up as a 6-pac so you can hear them. Go here: /index.p...cmd=si&img=7128 Just some stuff I've been listening a lot to over the past couple of weeks.

The Inmates "This Is The Day" on Kopit Utterly hideous tune. The kind of stuff that makes it embarrasing to mention to anyone that you are in any way connected with the northern soul scene.

Blendells "You Need Love" Dontee.

Good for you. It's a classic pop LP which lots of people outside of the northern soul scene have loved since it was released. Lori Burton is a famous/legendary songwriter, the LP is very common and there are thousands of M- cut-out copies out there. A recent copy of the LP sold on eBay for $4.99. Another didn't sell with an opening bid of $19.99. It shouldn't cost you more than £10 (maybe £15 including postage) if you have a look around on the interent for just a moment or two.

I can't remember who it was or on which forum... but a while back someone posted a "want" for Jack Hammer "Swim" I've got a swedish Tamla Motown 7" copy here. It's in M- condition. Make me an offer if you're interested. PayPal accepted. Trades considered. PM or e-mail me (fonzeus@telia.com).

That's what I'm getting at. And as for being a "mix album", a totally pointless compilation. It would've been interesting if he actually HAD mixed the tunes together in a slightly more adventurous way. Nice to see the Lee Moses track comped though.

No, it's not worth it. A couple of good tunes on there but to say that he "cleverly mixes Northern Soul together" would be to go one step too damn far. He just splices the tunes into eachother. Anyone with some proper computer software, or minor turntable skills could've done that. The compilation would've been better if it hadn't been mixed. It was released by Ace/BGP so you should be able to get ahold of it from pretty much any major UK record store. I hope it sold well so Ace/BGP got some money, but I sure won't fork out for it.

I love this 45! Probably prefer the flipside "Tremendo Cha-Cha" though. Nice latin jazz dancer indeed!

Bloody marvellous tune! One of my faves from that LP. Good album that first Magnificent Men LP, I'll have to go dig it out.

The flipside, "I Found A Love", is much better in my opinion. As Christian says, shouldn't be more than £10-ish. Not in-demand or rare. Do a google search and you'll find a cheap copy from the US.

Love this one!

Yes, that's true.

Love this track! Got myself a cheap copy on eBay a while ago for about £40 after having been on the search for a while. Have seen it on UK lists for £75-£150, not very often in the last couple of years though. Keep checking eBay, I'm sure a copy will come along.

Rehashed stuff from old Goldmine CDs or not... a fantastic double-CD in my opinion... most of the tunes are hard, pounding early 80s dancers that I love to bits.

These auctions are ending later today. Thanks for checking them out.

Dave, that avatar of yours, a copy of Trini Lopez "Sinner Not A Saint" on DRA ... I've never seen it on that label! Fantastic tune in my opinion. My US copy is on United Modern. It apparently also got some euro and UK issues. What's the catalogue number on your DRA copy? Trini's other 45 on DRA is from 1961, and the United Modern issue is from 1965 so I guess that the DRA copy is the original. Any info would be nice. By the way, love Jessie Mae's "Don't Freeze On Me" on DRA, nice storming piece of r&b.

This one? Originally by Jean Carn as far as I can remember.

These auctions end in about 6 hours. Thanks for looking!

Listened to the flip now again when I uploaded it. I think I might agree with you. I probably would consider playing "You Let Him Get Away" at a soul do. Lots of emotion going on in there. "Think It Over" is a bit too twee though.

Here you go. I love it and it is reason enough to own the 45 IMO. I don't unfortunately.

Have you heard the alternative version of "Salt And Pepper" on Kent's "Arock/Sylvia Story" CD? It's sung by some unknown artist, entitled "Deep Down Inside" and shares the exact same backing as "Salt And Pepper" but has got different lyrics. Must say that I like "The Boo Boo Song" quite a bit. Blasting nursery rhyme soul! Love both sides of the Togo 45 discussed above, as well as "Black Bottom Blues". Fantastic stuff.

Because it's not a soul record. A bit like playing The Beach Boys at a reggae event. I'm not saying that either Liz Verdi nor The Beach Boys are bad. But I wouldn't want to hear them in that context.

Here's a scan of the sleeve. I love both sides of this record. Wouldn't in a million years play either of them at a soul event though...

Ofcourse you can. You just need some software to do it. I just downloaded your actual wma file using HiDownloadPro. I think it's a dreadful all-over-the-place tune with weak vocals, annoying sound effects, a pointless drum break and then comes that bridge which is just plain bad.
