Chris Jackson - Since there's no doubt , due to be released on Dave Godin's new [ at the time ] label 444 ...it never happened ..cheers ,Eddie

Also Ady I meant to add ..I used to love those 70's flyers and posters advertising what sounds were being played , you know , something along the lines of " come along and hear these 100 club exclusives etc etc ...that'd get a few pulses racing I'm sure ......Cheers ,Eddie

I'm as guilty as anyone as I haven't been since last year , but I was going anyway in May , so that will be rectified . I think Keith Money has probably been really missed this year , though I'm sure his substitute Joel has been superb judging by reports .I think the 100 club has suffered a little like Wigan towards the end , you knew it was always there , and that you could go anytime ..this is probably a big mistake to make judging by Ady's introduction to this thread , as mentioned elsewhere , I'll wager May will be a packer . Also I go to a few venues , but hardly ever see any flyers for 100 club , Ady at least one of our Banbury crowd go out each weekend , you're more than welcome to send some flyers up for us to distribute .These are difficult times for everyone , but there are some great fresh DJ's and music out there , who could lighten up the dance floor with some guest appearances I'm sure .Hang in there Ady , you've come to far to end it now ....Best wishes ,Eddie

Spencer Wiggins is one of my very favourite Artists , and having just listened to this track ,I can confirm that this is up there with the very best of his many brilliant sides .Many thanks to Ady , Tony and Steve for bringing this premier league side to our attention - just fantastic stuff !! Best,Eddie

Great book ,hope you get sorted , I saw a cassette tape of this book a while back as well .Best wishes ,Eddie

This says it all really , taken on our 2nd visit in 1975 ....

Just incredible ....guys like this barely scraping a living while talentless wasters fill our TV screens every Sat. night - is there no justice ? Many thanks to Philly for finding this clip ,and to Lenny for passing on the message ..cheers ,Eddie

It's the same backing as Youngblood Smith on Verve , it came out on Grapevine 2000 , can't remember title / Artist at the moment ...Best,Eddie

Many thanks Steve , you said you enjoyed it at the time , really pleased you got a copy in the end ...cheers ,Eddie

Can't believe Andrew " Mike " Terry hasn't been mentioned yet ...his baritone sax playing on thousands of Motown and Detroit tracks is legendary....he always seems to be forgotten - why ? Best ,Eddie

Wow , they're good quality , love the 3rd one ..... kinda sums it up ,Best,Eddie

Thats really great .....Best wishes ,Eddie

Function at the junction ....you can buy it with the Soul Function DVD and CD ......Hope this helps ,Eddie

I wonder Why - Sy Hightower , memories of Thorne .......Best,Eddie

Thanks Russell , wonder if any of the re issues have surfaced ? Cheers ,Eddie

Great call on the John Parker Dave , good double header ...Best,Eddie

Hi Dave ,I sadly can't make it , wish I was going though , that venue kept me sane during the 80's .Johnny Gilliam has the word Stafford running through it like a stick of rock IMO...hope to see you both soon ,cheers ,Eddie

I love the Johnny Gilliam , just perfect , those strings , and brilliant vocals ......Best,Eddie

great choice Roger , best wishes ,Eddie

I would have probably plumped for Richard Caiton as well Gareth , but seeing as you've chosen it my choice is Clyde McPhatter " Anyone can tell [ we're in love ] " from the Decca album " Welcome Home " .Fantastic lyrics and production put this at the top of the Crossover tree for me .Great thread mate ....Best,Eddie

Spot on Tabs , the ultimate female Soul singer IMO .....Cheers ,Eddie

Is there a link to the '45's that were re-issued please ? Many thanks ,Eddie

Thats fair enough Pete ,I wouldn't consider many of them to be Northern Soul either , however many have crossed back to the Northern Soul rooms [ Richard Caiton , Bitter and The Sweet etc ] , so this blurs the line somewhat .Cheers mate ,Eddie
