we do a charity night at newport pagnell every 6 months. we have done 10 now and raised over £12k in total for various charities , including marie cure, leukimia, endoscopy unit,multiple sclerosis and the local hospice. the working mens club let us have the venue for free, so every penny goes to charity. we have almost 200 people who are happy to pay £5 a ticket. it is a handbag night although we play 100% soul/disco and most people who attend are aged around 45 to 60. its mainly the same people who attend just to socialise ,dance , drink and have a good time. i had a mate who used to dj and played some rare northern however this was not appreciated by the vast majority who want to hear the sounds from their youth, eg frankie valli, formations , stairsteps,bob and earl, loads of motown and 70s tavares, emotions etc.not every ones cup of tea but it works for us. its also very hard work sorting out tickets ,lugging equipment about, raffle prizes etc. but it is very rewarding.

pete you are the top man! record arrived 18hrs after speaking with you, superb condition. thank you.

This is one of the records where i have seen a few red and white demos but only one issue.

I remember this being reviewed in Blues and Soul on release . John Abbey gave it a right slating and one star. Dave Godin was not happy

my copy arrived in the post this morning. the wifes hidden it says i cant read it until we go on holiday!

talking about the Spinners, what about One of a kind love affair on Atlantic, thats some intro!

Marvin Gayes version of "Yesterday"( which i believe i the most recorded song ever!) is outstanding.

Ted Mills of Blue Magic would take some beating." Loneliest House on the Block" "Just Dont want to be lonely". "Sideshow". "Stop to start" to name but a few
