Wrong side of Town
That's the crux - the fact it made monkies out of supposed experts - gods know why, it stood out like a sore thumb to me. If you listen closely to the lyrics it could be taken as a 'fuck you' to exactly the people it hoodwinked. Dx

Coolest looking record labels
Can't find pics of em and sold em a while back but I love - Bomb (Fabulous Impact 'My Baby'), Sassy Kitten - I Don't Like IT But I Love You and Boogie Man Records 'Lady Lady Lady' (still got that one), prettiest label I ever had was Penn Records (You Don't Love Me Anymore - forget the female artist). Dx

Your first list?
Remember he had a copy of Vickie Baines up for about 2 years for a ton and just couldn't sell it back then. Used to buy a lot off him when I was at college in Hull (along with the ubiquitous Soul Bowl - King Tutt £10, Curtis £15, Sad Girl £8 etc etc etc). Hope you are dong fine AS - we're in hibernation as Pete ain't well. Dx

It's A Family Affair
I'm probably wrong, but I was given to understand that Joshua Dillard didn't exist and was just invented coz it sounded good. How about Chubby & The Turnpikes or indeed the Isley Brothers. Dx PS Just a thin excuse to put this up...

Duets, any recommendations?
Sticking with classic modern soul... Ashford & Simpson - It Seems to Hang On Brotherly Love - Whole Lotta You In Me Pockets Catch Me Tata Vega & GC Cameron - I've Got My Second Wind (absolute perfection, just wonderful)

The Larue by Lada Edmund Jr. Or Not
Seem to remember Rixey IDed the person singing - but was then told by a very upset Lada Edmund that it WAS her singing. Dx

soul people on the TV or in movies
Toussaint McCall singing Nothing takes... in Hairspray (the proper one). Has anybody mentioned Ray Pollard being an extra in Ghostbuster. Stevie Wonder singing Little Ole Man to Bill on the Cosby Show. Dx

Unfathomable lyrics
Southside Movement 'Do It To Me' - 'this love for you will bust my pants'... Much source of hilarity over many years.

Metaphorically Speaking
The Ice Man, I'm a Big Man and Mr Bang Bang Man... Would've thought the 70s was a bit more direct with things like Menage et Trois, In the Bush, Weekend and Spank (Jimmie Bo Horne's best - : ) ). Dx

Northern Cover Versions

Soul nights in or near Oxford
I believe there are still NS nights at Abingdon Football Club (at least I saw one advertised earlier this year when I was down seeing my parents - indeed I used to run one there myself about 27 years ago with Paul Dunn) and also Steventon Golf Club. Dx

Record labels with a Bizarre Basis for their name
Following on from Derek's topic how about records labels with really strange basis for their names - we all know about Shrine and JFK - how about Denise Lasalle's local label for 'A Love Reputation'? Tarpon... A legendary 'big game' fishing target which is a kind of giant Herring (up to 200lbs). Dx
-
Record labels named after the owner/owners
You forgot Ranwood. Also LaBeat - Lou Beatty, Renfro - Mike Renfro, Rouser - Tommy Rouse, Silver - Lee Silver, (plus Gordy, HBR - and MGM !) Dx

Manships fast tracking
It would be interesting to see how much more turntables have tended to get 'accidentally' set slower as we get old and creaky and less chemically pitched up : ) ...Is this how interest in deep soul develops? Must admit the cheapo turntable I have at home DOES seem to run significantly slow. Dx
