Not strictly Northern but pure amphetasoul The Contours - Do You Love Me. great example of Blackamerican music! Cheers Jock

Old Dave Withers cover up pre Stafford, think, fairly sure Guy gave it some welly, possibly at Stafford, certainly played long before mid 80s in London!! Cheers Jock

Now that was a bad'un!! some European disco 12, a friend still has a couple of copies hidden-thankfully, will find out the name when I can be bothered! link Gday Mr Smith, was that not the thing on MGM (LP and 45) Harley Hatcher ?? Memory fails as ever but sure Keith Whitson has this. Cheers Jock

Tiny venue if I remember rightly, Arthur/Sam nighters upfront modern nighter but also Soul Appreciation Society (??) Searling/Bernie Golding night if I remember. Dont remember much about them, although thats not surprise for me!! I am sure we chatted in these days Steve, I was quite friendly with Gary R so was often standing chatting on stage. You were partial to more than a few decent 70's in these days if I remember rightly. Great comments about Poke, some wonderful records, funny you mention about him being before Richard as sure remember him telling me he got records from Anderson in 70's like Betty Boo before Richard but wasnt as high profile, he played a great acetate if Just Like The Weather at Clifton Halls did he not, do you remember anything about that? Cheers Jock

Hi Hippo, bit late on this but would be glad to swap with you, check my tracklist however (in original thread) as not sure there will be much you dont know I would think. Let me know and pm me your address if you are interested, my address is 11/8 Newhaven Place Edinburgh. eh6 4tw Scotland. Miss Goldie, thats also the address for you to send yours, apologies for not getting back sooner. Jason in USA I have had your cd returned a second time, my fault this time as I copied the wrong post code again!! Huge apologies, will send it out to you over weekend. Cant believe your post returns it for one number!! Cheers Jock

Magnetics I assume, The b side of I Have A Girl on RASEL was Love and Devotion, I used to like it, a bit of a plodder rather than one to grab you buy the testicles! Did play it out a couple of times but general theory was it wasnt up to much, must have been me again!! Cheers Jock PS Lenny are you coming over to Edinburgh tomorrow? Also is it true you are having a xmas bash next week at Caley Soul, am dead keen to get over to one.

Thanks Ali.

Cheers Andy, only have one of his soul city 45's so will search this out as I love Al Wilson. I am excused that night as if you remember we arrived just as you finished due to Arthur getting lost in Wigan!! I got it for a tenner, along with the Bernard Williams on Spectrum for same price!! Probably off topic now but did you get dates for Orwell in 2005, might just make another trip down Cheers Jock

HI John, just realised not only do I have that 45 I put CC on the most recent midtempo swap cd here so its not even been back on the shelves that long!! Staying in is killing my memory!! Totally agree on the other side, would sound just right on one of your camping weeekends, (thats the weekends you spend in a tent rather than any slight on your masculinity!). Some nice choices there Mr Trout, as would expect. Whats the story on the Masterpiece 45, is that getting plays? Was one of a batch that soul ledgend Andy Whitmore and his lovely wife Suzanne put me on to at end of eighties, all were great records but particlularly liked this, tried it out a few times in the dark ages but not much interest. Cheers Jock

Andy what label is Al Wilson on?? Seem to remember the title but cant place the record at moment, love all his stuff. To keep on thread how about the daddy of soul Eddie Parker Im Gone/Cryin Clown, is CC on a cd anywhere? If not may have to buy my first boot in years!! Cheers Jock

Jackie Beavers on Revilot does it for me (dont own it), keep changing my mind on favorite side, gone back to I Need My Baby now, Richard S at his peak !! Also Dynamics Lights Out/ou make Me Feel Good, not both Northern but probably in my top ten of slabs of soul for the deep side! Cheers Jock PS Is it my imagination or did Detroit produce a far higher percentage of double siders than anywhere else?

Was this not just an acetate, the one I seen had a Grapevine label stuck on it, think this resided in Scotland for time also, would like to hear this now, has it stood the test of time ???? cheers Jock

Dont play out anymore but if did would want to play where I could play these, all new buys in recent past. Buddy Connor - When You Are Alone David Ruffin I'v Lost Everything Edwin Starr - Ill Never Forget You Buddy Ace - Pleasing You Chuck Overton - Is It Possible Clyde McPhatter _ Lonely People... I am now going to have a dance round my record room! Cheers Jock

Thanks Supercorsa, much appreciated. Jock

Does anyone have a direct number for these people, got a box of record sleeves delivered only for the courier to return them right away!!! Cheers Jock

I really like his version of Rainbow Road, supposed to be about him, think I have this on album but not listened to it for a while, I am a fan of country soul so do like his stuff I have heard, although not actually heard as much as I should probably. Cheers Jock

I think the Flaming Emeralds also came out on other colour (Blue ?) that is a bit ahrder, never seen one myself, great little label, dont supposed anyone has a Beverley & Duane or an ADC 45 on Fee to sell??? Cheers Jock

Couldnt agree more Chalky, and a couple more from Mr Dobsons repertoire Diane Lewis - Aint Got A Chance, marches you onto dance floor and Just Bros - Go On An Laugh, great teasing intro that you know is going to get right in between your earsl!! Cheers Jock

Not played my deep 45's for many a year, 2 will dig out tonight that used to turn me to a quivering chivers Mill St Depot You Wont Support Me (Stang) ? Village Choir - Talk To Me (Abbot ?) Cheers Jock.

Sam & Dave, seen as too popular by some but pound for pound are the greatest duo around, too many well known songs but also some nice tracks tucked away on LP's. followed by Knight Brothers (awesome reissue cd recently) and Ashford & Simpson, seen as lightweight by some but two of the greatest singers that when put together just are magical. Cheers Jock

Holidays - Making Up Time, Frank Foster & Bari Track - Proper Northern Soul, not sure I would call them soul in strictest sense though! <_< Whew I am confusing myself now!!! Cheers Jock
