Steve L

Five Stairsteps - You Cant See Cash McCall - You Cant Take Love both absolute quality for around a fiver!

Anyone else seen the youtube stuff from this guy? The way the clips are put together is superb! Think is my fav but he's got 17 up in total, check em out

Great thread, didn't know any of this

cheers

What the cost of recorded delivery of an LP in the UK please?

Wylie/Hestor & Pied Piper, it cant get any better than those two can it? End of discussion (wheres the whistling smiley gone?)

I reckon it was in full swing before that Dave, went to Notts Palais all dayer for the first time in Nov 75 - bought a West Midlands Soul Club badge and put it straight on me black Adidas bag

More than the last 2 years but Butch's Mighty Lovers cu is the best record of the 21st century for me. If you havent heard this you seriously need to put it on your bucket list!

Isnt this thread supposed to be about records that have been hammered to death and thus liable to be in the category of "not this again" that you can listen to time and time again without thinking that?

Me too mate, fav record ever never got fed up with it!

I'll second that

Here's a nice double sider: Benny Sigler - Who You Gonna Turn To, was a big tune for me in the late 70s but I don't think I've ever heard it played out since. Recently I've latched onto the b-side I Can Give You Love which is fabulous. Steve G played this at lifeline earlier this year, sounded great! Is this Bunny Sigler BTW?

At any time between those two dates that they feel like

All "big" artists mentioned so far, personally i'd be much more interested in watching James Lately singing Love, Friends & Money or other similar obscure acts.

Yeah its on Kent Select Chalky (006) b/w Fashionettes - Losing Control Shouldn't be too hard to pick up but just did quick search on ebay and couldn't see any

Absolutely mate, easily the best record of recent years for me - anyone not hearing this is missing out! Love it Heres another 4 from me to make a current top 5 Tiaras - Loves Made A Connection Benny Sigler - I Can Give You Love (seriously underrated) Junior McCants - Try Me For Your New Love Temptations - Forever In my Heart Rob Marriott played the last 2 at the recent trotters revival, which got me playing em again -magic!! PS love that description Byrney "weapon of a song" might have to borrow that one

Was this actually given out on the first night cos Kev Roberts wasn't on at first was he?

Sebastian a typical oldies type in the UK will describe as "rare" anything they're not familiar with whether or not the record is actually rare. ie " stop playing this rare shit and play some oldies that we know" What the said person wants to hear are records such as the Tomangoes, Salvadors and other such non-rare records

Yeah I wasn't really aiming it at CC Steve, just talking in general and in reaction to the cd comment!

What? so its ok to play cd's if they're rare? If you haven't got the records don't pretend to be a DJ (not aimed at CC )

Definitely mate, thats the sad state of things in 2012!

A lot of venues I could think of you could write the playlists before you go!

The Sharon Scott thread got me thinking about this. You wouldn't have believed it 30 years ago but we now know an awful lot about many of the artists that made our music that we once didn't know anything about. One by one many have been tracked down or information about them found. Some are well known in the wider world, some died along the way and a lot have performed over here in recent times - we even have Lorraine Chandler as one of us on here!! So how many and which artists do we still know absolutely nothing about? I asked Lorraine if she knew James Lately on a her thread and she hadn't heard of him so i'll suggest him as a start although someone probably knows otherwise. Complex I know...

And when, 73/4??

Feel free, I'm with chalky on this
