Lonely Lover - The Inverts ?

I only heard the Temps version a few months ago and it blew me away, the only version what seems to have deviated from the others. It took. me a while to realize it was the same song.

The Temptations gave it a working over on their Houseparty lp. Sorry missed the Temps on the list . doh

Lorraine Johnson did a version.

On the said Cd this track is credited to Mancha but is that not just a typo and is it Tony Hester ? See link below from 45world. https://www.45worlds.com/cdalbum/cd/gscd53

Jeff Perry is on The Haynes Ultimate Guide To Northern Soul. CD

Tavares lp Hard Core Poetry has always been a fave of mine. Rumours by Freda is also a great track.

Phil Terrell ?

Great record , copies on discogs going for about £2.00.

Good Things Come To Those That Wait - Chuck Jackson

Merry Christmas Baby - Otis Redding.

Christmas must be a uplifting experience at your house Pete if you play joyous records such as that on Christmas morning . Great record though

No its about Northern Soul not Northern Sole .

Nor do I want to , with Forest thing do you look like the Sherriff of Nottingham or any of the other camp characters from the Forest in your tights.

Each to their own , take from the music what you can and enjoy it, if local soul nights playing oldies is your thing do it , other people would sooner travel to hear records still been broken or records only played by a select few on ovo . Nobody is right or wrong just two different ideas on the way the scene fulfils their life. Still don,t get the dressing up thing that seems to go on at a lot of these oldies nights though All the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Each to their own , but listening to the same regurgitated oldies would drive me insane. Just a question do you also wear the seventies gear as seen at most oldies nights and if so why ?

Interesting thread pity non of the djs playing boots do not comment on that stance Some must partake on this site if only as observers, the views of these people would be welcome.

Reading your posts on this topic I would assume you were naïve and with that in mind a youngster new to the scene, but looking at your contributions to other topics you must be at least 50 and visited notable venues including Wigan. I just think this is some sort of wind up and if not you have not learned much about the scene over the years.

Not much of a dj or a soul music lover.

Interesting to see the quote that retailers are hiking prices for vinyl , when CDs became the norm the prices of limited runs of vinyl rose understandably. Just sheer greed now , just a fad though for many I would guess.

Wow that's great, and it is this most untypical Otis record I have ever heard .

I think a listen to the flip gives more indication to the colour of Lee David, sounds white to my ears . Whatever the colour of the guy though '' Temptation Is Calling My Name '' is a great Northern record .

As already stated buy some CDs listen to youtube and then buy records you like , and steer clear of bootlegs because if you get the collecting bug you will only want to replace them with originals.

Could the lyric be - Sweeter than the day before ? which is the Valentinos.

So do I , her version of 'Its Gonna Take A Miracle' is a fave of mine as is ' Silly'. Her voice has a sweetness and vulnerability about it .
