Yes sireee! Listened to a clip that someone attatched on here to a sales topic, though God I know that, it bugged me all the way home and all that night, at around 2AM, I got out of bed and slauntered off to the basement, spent 30 mins going through my funk section to discover said tune!

Some great spins there Jezuit, here's what I played early doors, 6.30 till 7ish, I was determined to play some recent purchases and some something I'd not played out before. All seemed to go down well, with the Latin in particular getting some early floor action. Detiot soul -all of my life Danny White- Natural soul brother Ray Barreto- Soul Drummers Johnny Colon- Gotta love me Billy Hamlin- Down but not out Lavelle Hardy- Move and groove Mark iv Unlimited- Gone Top Shelf- Going through the motions Eddie Kendricks- Date with the rain ( just as we had an April shower) Dee Edwards- Why can't there be love Cliffe nobles- Love is alright General Assembly- Sensitive mind Troggs - DY NO MITE cover up

Spot on Russ, you took the words.... Its also been know for CU's to add credibility to artist who would struggle to get attention with a northern audience, take the Blood sweat and tears example from about 15 years back.

Two of the ones I'm playing are CU that other folks have done and I've just continued it out of respect for the other DJ's. Always a tricky and contentious isssue.

Love it and play it out, I know the guy was from Boston and its been coverd by Elli Paperboy Ried, to these ears far inferior bu8t a worthy attempt.

At least 3 CU's played at our little soul session on sunday, and certainly no sigh of a drought at Bidds this year, albeit from more esoteric sources.

cheaper alternative might be, the mosquito's - the fly, on spear, exactly the same tune, but aspirtions have been cast as to it validity......!

This was massive in scottland in the mid 8Ts at Allerton, I'm playing it out, whenever I get the chance, too.

Anyone been to rubber soul in Stoke, top contender for me, apart from trying to flog obvious pressing for exorbinate sums, he's glummer than Morrisey too!

BPM's wise, Al foster band - night of the wolf, blows all of thsea away for speed

Rob was the MAN for me around 87, Dave charles, Ruby, Joe Hick's he always got me on't floor.

Spot on, thats how I remember it too, liverpool and manc scallies started wearing 'gear' first without a doubt well documented in several books.

Bradford was one of my first nighters where I can distincly remember opening a cubicle in the door and seeing two guys with a piece of orange rubber and a needle.

Dusty seems a little to 'up ' in the mix for me mate, but otherwise a fine effort.

Absolutly love the milesstones, porper "off it" northern in iMHO, really apt use in soulboy.

Ahem, hasnt the top shelf gone Des!

Gutted, she, and Rochelle were THE voice of Salsoul!

sad news indeed, probably one of the most sampled artists ever, acca's of her salsoul stuff were virtually the bedrock of early house music.

the moses and joshua. Ah ha! I was expecting a blue molded label like the vandykes records, probably seen these and not looked close enough, just the text is different. cheers.

shoot me down in flames, but I've never seen an issue of moses and joshua, get out of my heart on mala, I'm sure someone will correct me, but I ve had 3 demo's over the year and I've never seen an issue.

I have a fan club record I picked up in holland some years back, with an unreleasd B side, must dig it out.

Think I own all of the above mate, quit northern for the Hac and Shelly's in 89, and for the diserning listener all of the above were essential. heard morales kick his set of with the man machine track in 91.

maybe its a little niave of me, I just love it all, well at least a good portion from all the genre's mentioned. shame folks aint more open minded but I do belive there's a lot to be said for programming, the order that you play them, in terms of keeping people on the floor and intergrating and introducing new sounds.
