  1. do you want originals or re-issues? I have Wilson Pickett on CUB , Mel Torme on London , Bunny Sigler on Parkway and Maurice Williams on a 70's re issue
  2. dug this one out of my memory banks today. a big Tony Clayton spin during the Peterboro/Oddfellows days, circa early 80's. anyone else ever play it out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwbddcAw9I8
  3. too right! as i stated, folk will not accept Get down get with it, but will embrace this drivel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ILw9_VXCtxE#!
  4. Rock n Roll? whatever next? a clonkin piece of gritty Rhythm & Blues thats quite irresistable! so 'get down get with it' is Rock n Roll .... but Charlie Gracie's 'He'll never love you like i do' is "Northern soul" (which incedentally, i do like) ? plus, we embrace 'when we get there' and 'I walked away' but knock Mr Penniman give me Little Richard any day..........Stompin brilliance - lets DANCE!!
  5. can you message me with price please?
  6. blimey. nobody got one to sell
  7. Elliot Small - I'm a devil (ABS) cheap as chips will do nicely
  8. i remember Guy Darrell , Dobie Gray, Bobby Paris and more getting frequent plays when i were a youngster at our mid lent fair. good stuff
  9. shame James Morrison and Cindy Lauper are on too
  10. impressive CV . very sad news https://www.ralphmacdonald.com/index.php?page=others
  11. I'm not sure on our most expensive. . toss up between Harry Deal on Eclipse and Billy Davis on Cobblestone.
  12. no shame in that. one of my all time fave tunes. Oddyssey were fab! i saw them in Nottingham one night, sung the words to every number they did
  13. I got a nice UK Island issue i could be tempted to part with.
  14. I like Charity Brown, i also like 'The Snake' , i like Frank Wilson, The Casualeers, etc etc. all GREAT records in their own right, mostly over played, but brilliant recordings. Like FW or not, theres no disputing that irresistable intro, then a huge rim shot brings the rhythm section in, superb record!
  15. anyone who lists Hoagy Lands as a fave, is ok by me

    WONDERFUL!!! I sang this at a karaoke bar in Bulgaria during a ski holiday in 1993....... EVERYBODY sang along to the chorus, it just proves that a classic song is known by all. thanks for posting this. i'm geuinely saddened by DG's passing..............

    very sad news. OOTF was the staple diet of us young lads in the hot summer of '76. a fine record indeed.... the 'off key' sounding piano melody was the hook that made the tune. Also, i contribute on a drummers' forum , where we had a thread on our 'fave lyrics' in a song.... my reply: "Gimme the beat boys and free my soul, i wanna get lost in your rock n roll and DRIFT AWAY" RIP
  18. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TMG814-Cant-Help-Myself-Earl-Van-Dyke-45-/320802587925?pt=UK_Records&hash=item4ab1530515 is this one of the 'big' Motown instrumentals at the minute? but £4 postage on top as well? ....
  19. Eddie, I may be interested if the original poster doesnt want the UK issue
  20. believe me mate. i'm no expert , but i'd wager the one with the 'machine' pressed stamp is an original'legit copy, whilst the other is a bootleg
  21. Well said Billy., my one and only comment on this matter
  22. Wigan Casino - Will Collins: Anything i can do Nottm Palais - Wolfman: Strange Cleethorpes winter gdns - Flame n king: oh happy day Clifton hall- The Magnetics: lady in green The Painted lady - Phil Coulter: a good thing going (seriously) The After 8(Grantham) - Lou Johnson: unsatisfied ok, a couple of them were'nt the biggest clubs on the scene, but they were always busy and always popular
