Hat off to you Mark..... its fabbo that it got played

just browsing flea-bay and noticed a few of these singles on there. no shortage in supply, one particular listing has 6 bids already. Its a corking tune in my opinion, raw, pacey and a brilliant delivery what i wanna know is: when did you last hear this record played out and would you play it personally? ( i dont have a copy so i'll not be spinning it )

I know what a Titty Shaker is............................................ Its my Burlesque Nipple Tassles & i want to shake them at a Soul night! Debbie x

imminent house move has forced me into another clear out of stuff. looking through old albums etc, i've found some real goodies released on the old MFP/Sounds superb labels. Motown Magic - various artists The Contours - Baby hit and run The Four tops - I cant help myself blimey, some quality tunes on these, Gladys Knight & the pips - The Stranger Contours - Baby hit and run/misunderstanding/determination/first i look at the purse/can you jerk like me Four Tops - I'm grateful/Helpless/I got a feeling/until you love someone I think i'll have another dig in the boxes

Most of the lyrics in House For Sale.....................the worst bit being.....................It's got a spacious living room for the bride & groom ................... yuk yuk yuk! I Am What I Am....................But please don't ask why Sugar Dumpling...................But please don't ask why But it makes me laugh! Debbie x

I only use the Gift option if i know them Debbie x

There is only one version for me Little Willie John from 1956 Debbie x

I can see all sides of what people are saying on this thread I can't speak for my partner Ian, as he will have his own views...........................Myself, I do enjoy a good oldies night, but i would like to hear more underplayed tracks, sometimes i feel the music is a bit too safe & you do tend to hear the same few songs everywhere you go, when there is so many old 60's tunes that dont ever get played & if a dj did put something on that i have not heard before, it could be a bonus!............as i might find something else that i like A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Bar Life at Skegg...................Superb choice of oldies, mixed with some rare & underplayed music from Coops, Ian G & Ian Parker It was that good, i was laid up for 2 weeks after Debbie x

clearing out a few odds n ends including the rare Island LP. i also have the 'Willie Mitchell 'Live' album and lots of 70's jazz funk/soul/disco to list over the coming weeks https://shop.ebay.co.uk/irp47/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

worst record ever played on the scene? could well be I just heard it on local radio and had a horrible flashback to a time gone by of people actually dancing to this . did i dream it or have i still got my faculties?

sold, thanks all

due to unforseen circumstances, sadly our two tickets are up for sale. £20 the pair including postage (save 4 quid). paypal will be great, i'll make sure they're sent first class so you get them in time. Ian

nice one Pete. a good uptempo choon

Hold back the night - The Trampps

I definitely heard it , Nottingham palais all-dayer. 1978/79 (hard to pinpoint). the DJ played it, the floor emptied totally ... i also remember hearing ABC by the Jackson 5 on the same day

I sold my Four tops - its the same old song R/W demo for a fiver to Pete Brown, in 1979 i think . i also sold a supremes R/W for £20 to Neil O. thats about my lot when it comes to Motown Demo's. anyway, sounds a cool place for a browse

well i've never even heard of this , let alone seen one. does anyone have a sound clip and a bit of history behind the artist? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160415256454&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

oh blimey , i'd forgotten how that looked inside. i think the last time i went was around 81/82 in Harry's mini bus a maze of doorways to get to the 2nd room if i remember correctly. a couple of tunes that stick in my mind from there were 'Flame n King - oh happy days' & 'Edwin Starr- Time' great place, thanks for posting, IAN

all i remember is that it took bloody ages to get there from this piss pot town in the east midlands. once on a train, once on coach (from Brit club, Nottm) and twice in a car Mr M's everytime
