'Youre mighty right' on Jaypee (and another label I can't remember). Seem to remember hearing or reading that it was an old Richard sound from Station road and early Stafford. Being only a youthful 35 summers I can't comment, but I seem to remember picking it up at the first 'Northern' weekender at Yarmouth in '90. My question is, why isn't it played!? Is it considered old hat? Bloody top tune, come back Clarky! Regards Jim.

Have to concur with Chalky on this one, used to spend all my YTS money (don't laugh) on tunes from Dicky in the 80's and he certainly had an interesting sales pitch! My good mate a lad by the name of Lee Bates and I often have a chuckle about nervously ringing up to buy old pieces of plastic from a Brummie as two spotty 15 year olds. All part of the rich tapestry Regards Jim.

I'm the guilty one here, heard it a few months ago at the wonderful Orwell and just 'had' to have it! Could afford a few more like this if Lisa didnt keep squandering the housekeeping on food! Great day on Sunday by the way Regards Jim.

As said, too many to choose. I keep going back to 'Together' on Silk and Soul'. In a just world this would be played at least occasionally! Regards Jim.

Thanks chaps Jim.

Love, Peace & Happiness on RCA. Probably very well known by the more informed of you Soul folk. Had it about 10 years on a seven but it seems to be crawling out of the box on a regular basis. Anyone any idea who these dudes were and what the longplayer is like? Happy new year Jim.

sorry this isnt going to help, but what a bloody marvellous tune this is. Why oh why do we have to put up with garbage like Barbara Dane (IMHO), when wonderful 'Northern' oldies like this are still in peoples minds? Happy new year Jim.

getting quite a few spins now at discerning gentlemens/ ladies venues like the Orwell. Cor what a tune. Save the expense and go to the big one O O instead when Ady dishes 'em out for a song. Happy new year Jim.

sorry, Sam Fletchers 'I'd think it over', would have to go in for me. Supper club claptrap. Happy new year Jim.

Cheers for the info.

'Just a little bit closer' c/w 'Hey Lordy'. Recently picked this up in the States after too many years of listening to a worn out tape. Does anyone know if it's had any exposure? I seem to remember a rather outspoken gentleman on a radio show suggesting 'it's incredibly rare' shortly before his departure to Gotham City. Not too sure about that statement but it's taken some time to get my paws on it. Not sure if it would set a dance floor alight but would be nice to nod along to at the bar Regards Jim.

Superlatives are always in short supply for MB, utter class. I'm still recovering from hearing 'Torture' for the first time 20 years (?) ago, as a spotty 14 year old. Rarely a week goes by without one of Maxines' toons being spun at Elliott towers. That night at the big 100 in 97 was just a wonderful experience. How lucky we are to have music such as this. Regards Jim.

Picked it up off the 'bay (oh dear) a few weeks ago for about 30 quid, on a German issue (?) in a pic bag. Great record but it took me a while to get it. Regards Jim.

Never said I didn't like her, she's just ok More of a Linda Jones man meeself Regards Jim.

Id better get searching for the Liza Minelli version. Someone will probably cover that up if they get their hands on it If John Valenti gets a spin who knows??! Dear oh dear. Thanx for the list Jim

Sons of Robin Stone 'Got to....' Baby Washington 'With you in mind' elpee Well, I was pleased. Regards Jim. PS also Javells..... DOH!

Vondells 'Youve changed' need I say more.

Arethas versh has been getting a right hammering recently (particularly at Norfolk weekenders). Now I know I'm going to get a bit of stick about this but personally I just think, she (Aretha) is 'ok' as a singer . I've started playing the Baby Washington versh (Cotillion) at Elliott towers and to my inexperienced ears it's the better of the two. Now to the original point, How many versions of this are there? I think I've got about three, Supremes & Four Tops is a goodie and I seem to remember theres a version by George Benson on the same album as the sublime 'My womans good to me'. Any others? Regards Jim.

Just an average guy / Aint gonna stop AGP. Desert island disc or what? Whats this about a weekender in Northampton?? Regards Jim.

Enchantment 'Im who you found' RCA Soft lights... Morning, noon & nite 'Free' Roadshow S/T Soul Children 'Who you used to be' Stax Open door policy Popcorn Wylie ' Singing about you & me' ABC Extrasensory Perception Jackie 'Didnt I' Brunswick ...Vibrations

Someones' probably put this already but the Fifth Dimensions lp versh is a bit good an all. Regards Jim.

Paul Peterson ' Your loves got me burning alive'. If only.

Have had this on a tape or cd, (can't remember which) for yonks & it's rather choice. Anyone idea what it's on, lp or whatever?? Regards Jim.

'Got to Love' off the Anchor album. Have been playing & liking this a little too much lately. Is there anywhere where lovers of mid seventies white soft rock pap can obtain free confidential counselling or advice. Regards Jim.

Sweeter than sugar, love song & hope we have. Have played 'em over & over for years Incredible music Regards Jim.
