Darren and Phil have worked hard on Soul Train. They have pulled together a crowd of open-minded soulies with a passion to hear new sounds of all types and to dance. I've met Darren through Soul Funktion, Spirit and similar venues and I know he knows his onions. So, I was well chuffed to be asked up to his lovely home town of Ramsbottom (no sn*****ing at the back please - it IS a lovely place!) to spin a few especially alongside my Second City Soul partner-in-crime and a man with so much fantastic rare soul in his boxes, Mr Kevin Higham. I wanted to mix it up a bit and here's what I came up with on the night: 1st Set: (1) Apaches - Trying To Make Ends Meet (Big8) (2) Dickie Wonder - Nobody Knows (Golden Triangle) (3) Frankie Freeman - This Old Shack (Ghetto) (4) Joe Willis & The Mighty Invaders- Baby You Got It (Greenwood) (5) Johnny Summers - I'm Still Yours (Yorktown) (6) Johnny De'Vigne - I Smell Trouble (De-Lite) (7) Bonnie Blanchard - You're The Only One (CRS) (8) Mark V Unlimited - Gone (Sagport) (9) The Paramount Four - You Don't Know (Southern City) (10) Bobby Rush - Just Be Yourself (Salem) (11) The Soul Rockers - If The Shoe Fits Ya Baby (Buddah) (12) Chuck Bridges - Don't You Make Me Cry (Scoop) (13) Crown Four - Birth Of A Playboy (Lee John) (14) Deloris Ealy - I've Been Searching (Velvet) (15) Jimmy Bo Horne - Hey There Jim (Dig) (16) The Voices Of East Harlem - New Vibrations (Just Sunshine) 2nd Set: (1) The Four Sights - Love Is A Hurting Game (Shy-Soul) (2) E T White & His Great Potential Band - Got To Find A True Love (Great Potential) (3) The International Five - I Need You (Starway) (4) Freddy Hill - Mr Lucky (Ru-Tee) (5) Oscar Perry - I'm On My Way (Paradise) (6) Entertainers IV - Just Ain't My Day (Dore) (7) Funder Cooper - I Didn't Know (Don't Shoot Me) (Lamp) (8) Caffey Brothers - Make Me Over (Aura) (9) The Precious Three - I Need A Man (Ref-O-Ree) (10) Mary Mundy - Electric Ghetto (Insurance City) (11) The New Establishment - Ridin' High (United World) (12) The Soul Messengers - I've Been Changed (Elbam!) (13) The Soul Messengers - That Girl (Phil's) (14) Charles Simmons - Save The World (Hitsound) (15) Act III - Today I Want To Stay Inside (Harley) (16) The Shades Of Love - Such Good Friends (Delon) Thanks to the lovely people at Soul Train for making me and Kev feel welcome, for asking about stuff we played and for dancing. If you live in the North West and you like your DJs NOT to play safe, then you really should get along to this venue. If Top 500 is your bag, definitely not for you.

Here you go - off my copy. I Need You (Starway).mp3

Awesome.

No! No! No! A cheque constitutes acknowledgement of a debt and is therefore actionable in a court of law in the event of the cheque being dishonoured. I like your style and way of thinking though.................

You've missed the point mate. It was folk on here who bid the price up to that unbelievably inflated level with the express intention of not settling and to screw up the seller's auction of this fake.

I gather Ebay have been told about this sale being a fake. No court of law would enforce payment under those circumstances, surely?

Messaging you Tom.

I last saw him on New Years Eve at Southampton Soul Club. He was still driving himself around and about to events pretty much every weekend and he told me then that his time was nearly done, which makes his passing no less saddening. He was a real character and, as Ady alluded to, was never shy in giving you his musical opinion, no matter how brutally frank!!! It was before my time, but he is perhaps most famous for an incident at an all dayer in the mid/late 70s at Reading Top Rank. I am sure some on here would have been there and will remember the event. Apparently, Lacy Lady DJ Chris Hill had led the main room funksters on a conga line into the Northern room upstairs. On their return to the main funk/disco room, Mick walked up to the decks, grabbed the copy of Magic Fly by Space which Chris Hill was playing, snapped it in half shouting that he didn't pay good money to hear shit like that!! Many years later, Mick and I went to a night near Tower Bridge and got chatting to Dr Bob Jones - when the subject of that incident got mentioned, Mick at first didn't let on that it was him. It soon became apparent who he was and, on realising who he was talking to, Dr Bob gleefully asked "you're Cockney Mick, aren't you??!" Others have mentioned it as well, but he was responsible for getting many youngsters into the soul scene, particularly in the early/mid 80s when he was a regular DJ at events around Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Herts and surrounding areas. He was a genuine inspiration to many young soulies back then. He loved soul right across the board too and had some superb 45s in his collection, particularly British labels. I have some very fond memories of Mick Webb. RIP mate.
