Eddie Hubbard

This is the Crack Steppin side , it's a vocal though ...

Shocking news , I loved his radio show and his posts on here were always essential , informative reading .I never met him and always imagined him to be quite an elderly guy ,judging by his knowledge , sadly this wasn't the case .Rest in peace Bob , and thank you for your huge contribution to Soul music .....Eddie

Probably not a coincidence , the record dealer was from Derby .......

Bought Tony Hester - Watch Yourself [ Karate ] and Tobi Lark - Challenge My Love [ Topper ] for £3 each out of a box marked Northern Soul reissues at a record fair .Was so excited I left Sandra Phillips - World Without Sunshine issue behind ,also £3......

Bought it blind at Wigan for about £5 , didn't really do it for me then ,and took ages to sell it .Wouldn't mind one back now however , it's perfect for today ...

First person to mention it to me was Budgie [ Steve Burgess ] from Southampton , around 77-78 , it was played at Yate ...

Willie Hutch - The Duck / Love Runs Out [Dunhill ]

Is this it ?

Really sad day losing Deon .Tragic that he never made it to the UK and got to see first hand how much we love his many truly great recordings .Rest in peace Deon Jackson .....

I don't want to risk breaking it Boba ....

Wasn't the Prix label found in large quantities ?

Got this recently from my friend Cheryll Ann ..will never part with it ......and this great photo also

Great little film , one of the most atmospheric clubs I've ever visited , good to see it living on beyond Whitworth Street ...

I'd forgotten Kitch has it , still really rare , and one of my favourite records at the moment ...

And James Pogson , I think Andy Dyson has it also ...

Sean Haydon has it ..

It sure is Dave...

Yes , great one , love that line " the single cigarette we used to share , the time we wasted when I thought you cared " ....

Can't wait to play this Chalky .....

When Sonny sings " There's an old saying baby , true love will never last " backed by strings and Mike Terry's burping baritone .....
