Ian Parker

thats a big help Mitch cheers. also thanks to Ian who sent me a pm

I bought an 'original' recently. but there seems to be some argument regarding its' authenticity. . how can i tell this apart from a look-a-like bootleg? thanks in advance

The Grantham posse were there. Myself, Biz, Webby, John Gibbo &Tony Clayton of course . Hotter than Wigan Casino it was in that place, even in winter

is it a record you'd buy because you like it, or because or its rarity/demand/desirability ? https://cgi.ebay.com/TIMI-YURO-Itll-never-over-me-UK-Northern-soul-7-/150625478592?clk_rvr_id=246224841619&autorefresh=true personally its not one of my faves. if i had a grand to spend on a tune, i coud think of others id choose. anyway, what about you lot ?

Gloria Jones - Come go with me ? Dynamic, electric and in ya face

well i found one at a good price. thanks all

I'll speak to Mick ref the Stute

Cheers Andy. I was flattered to be able to play at Brid. I avoided the usual suspects like Willie Mitchell, Richard Temple, Denise Lasalle etc. but you need to get feet on dancefloors as far as im concerned, so i kinda played it safe with a few classics and some 'not so hammered' tunes thrown in meantime, i'll keep spending..... a nice Lynn Randell CBS is headed my way, hope to give that an airing somewhere soon

I'm looking for a playable copy of this. any ideas of realistic prices i need to pay for one? thanks in advance

Sister Dawn to the red Courtesy phone...............

AWESOME !! Raw and Soulful. saw him live 3 times, loved every minute! p.s. if anyone has a signed copy of 'How sweet it is' on a SOUL Demo, can i have it back please? mine was nicked from under my nose whilst at the cloakroom desk after a JW gig at Rock City, Nottm , early 80's ! I tried to get it signed at Nottm Palais a couple of yrs earlier but he wouldnt do it, this time he did, i was over the moon

I've just remembered a tune i heard being played at Station Rd , not a clue who spun it tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9X054Fdfw4 yes i know it was a Cleethorpes spin, but its forgotten and its a casino memory

Gil Blanding is played regular by Jim Atkins (fine tune) The Patrick Bradley was played at Black Hearts all day session Helen Shapiro - Dave Tid's 'Palais' Spots (nottm soul club) The Lucky Charms is a Tony Clayton spin (i think) I cant help with forgotten spins, never went often enough. its great to see some great records listed though

The TAMANGOES (Tomangoes) is on ebay at mo. B.I.N £80 thats the most i've seen any Grapevine single pricewise. still cheaper than a Washpan https://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item19c691ef48 wel it was until i spotted this https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/U-K-Northern-Soul-Duke-Browner-CRYING-OVER-YOU-/360374143231?pt=UK_Records&hash=item53e7f908ff

Sade 'hang on to your love' a fine track. i have the diamond life album, time to dig it out again me thinks.

The 'false' white centre are Demo's. there are also Demo's with a promotional sleeve and nothing on the record. bit mish-mash, but thats how they operated

why do promoters advertise "Soul and Motown" nights? are'nt they one and the same? . Would a Soul and Okeh night, or a Soul and Ric Tic night be advertised? After all, Motown is a label , same as the rest hmmmmm

Satisfying our Souls ! The Kent compilation of WEA material absolutely first class. had it donkey's years and never tire of it Joannie Sommers The Apollas Barbara Lewis Three Degrees Sister Sledge Mike Post Bobby Wilson Leslie Uggams Linda Jones Soul Bros Six The Coasters Ben Aiken Esther Phillips Linda Lyndell The Marketts Dave & Rubin

I like the Grapevine label, some are getting quite desirable. Still looking for Dena Barnes, Edward Hamilton, Morris Chestnut

I recenty bought a BELL issue for £12, so 30 for the Eric seems a steal

another i just thought of -- Joey Heatherton . Dean Martins side kick and a huge TV celeb

or even this guy ? .......

I was gonna say John E Paul..... so what about Charlie Gracie instead.

Saw him in '84 during 'The Poet' tour, lots of folk type stuff mixed in wth his 60's solo stuff and lots of his Poet album (which i personally love & still have). hopefully as Kev says, if he hits the audience with HIWTHI etc etc, then a good night will be on the cards .
