Wonder if Richard still has his other copy of The Professionals that he used to play at Wigan late 70's early 80's ? He always used to announce it as " This is Steve Mancha ...."

Did Chris Bartley " My heart belongs to you " , plus " Sing yeah sing " Van McCoy and Van's version of " Funny face girl " come from that acetate batch Kev ? I have tapes of them via Rob Marriott , who had them at the time [ 1995 ] cheers Eddie

Emanuel Laskey - Lucky to be loved /Our World on Thelma ......best Eddie

Is it me , or does Little Johnny Hamilton seem cheap final price on JM ?

Not going to get involved in any discussion on the various opinions on the 100 Club , just to say I love it , am enjoying it as much as ever ,and but for extreme family circumstances would have been there last Saturday .See you all in December ...Eddie

I remember an article in Black Music , where Tony Cumming's visited The Mecca , and Levine was playing Chris Jackson from a 444 acetate , the only known copy apparently .The record has the same backing track as Total Eclipse " You took your love that was torn to pieces " [ Right On ] .

It's interesting to note that P -Vine thought they had the right to release " Let's talk it over " on CD , thinking it a Goldwax track , but not realising the master had been sold to Fame publishing .This is why UK label Kent have only , in recent times released this side , since they gained the rights to the Fame catalogue .

I know Rob Marriott's acetate was done from my Japanese CD ,as was Otis Clay " Come my dear " , also Jap CD only ....

Great thread ....

70% , though I thought Bobby Taylor discovered The J5 ........

Yes I thought that too Pete ....

Yes you should try Lifeline Julie , it's ace x

I love The 100 Club , because of the great friends there , the sense of occasion when visiting London ,and historical values of The 100 Club .Plus of course Butch [ my favourite Rare Soul DJ ] , and Ady ,Keith and the various guests that add a different flavour to the night .Also love Lifeline , musically varied , with the accent on Rare and forgotten sides , nice venue ,and only an hour ,door to door for me .Really like Radcliffe , especially the smaller room , but miss the Soul or Nothing room like hell , it was musically heaven .Like going to Stoke when I can , it's the feel good factor , very positive ,everybody smiling and happy , and reminds me why I got a lifelong bug for Northern Soul ,plus the smaller room can be ,and is very good .Rugby is like family , very friendly , only 45 minutes from home , and the last one was awesome .So here's the thing ....I love or like all the others , but Burnley I simply can't miss , I think it's the excitement level that begins weeks before , carries on in the mini bus with the lads that run it , the setting up and the night its self .The music is usually of a high , gritty tempo , ideal for an All Nighter , and musically varies from ultra rare waxings to £10 cheapies that you've never heard before . This is confusing for me , bacause Crossover Soul is my favourite kind of dance music ,and hardly any gets played , but still I love it .A lot of the DJ's aren't big names on the scene , the venue is perfect , and just has that special indescribable blend of magic , when you know you'd rather be there than anywhere else in the world .........Eddie

I've got a white demo , ironically I found it in a shop in Seattle where Tim had been a week before in 1980 ...

One of my favourite LP's ,actually got my copy from a paper shop , and got a test pressing also now .The first volume is great as well ,and took me years to find one .

I used to have an issue ,covered by Richard at Wigan as Nancy Ames " How many tears must I cry " ....

Superb show , really enjoyed the music and information from my favourite Soul City .....well done Richard and Dean ...

It is a great track , can't wait to see it ...

Thats a shame , I'll listen in anyway as it's a great show ..cheers Eddie

Another great show Gilly ,Nicola and Dean , most enjoyable ....

Excellent show ,really enjoyed it....

DJing at Cheltenham one night , just about to begin my set and opened my record box upside down , with the result that 200 records landed upside down in the lid .....The guy just finishing his set said " I better play one more while you sort yourself out " ....total chaos but funny now I remember it .....
