Nice one Dave, great to see genuine people like your self sharing information which i know you have been working hard on for some time. Its collectors such as you & i know there are many more out there beavering away, that give exposure & long over due recognition to some long lost & forgotten talents, this kinda thing is what the NS scene is all about & a very positive part of the real scene. Thanks for posting buddy. Russ

There has got to be a book of quotes from SS............& you would be up there with some of the best one liners mate, church full of retards indeed . Russ

Thank you mate Russ

.......Oh Pete, you make me laugh mate..........i knew i could rely on you to be the voice of reason, you've made my night. Russ

That is a great tune, if anyone has a spare clean copy ........... Russ

Listen to dem horns..........its got the 'breaks' too, dancers will love this & you can sing along aswell..........gimme gimme, gimmeeeeeeeee, its low down n dirty & black as ya hat..........4 O clock in the morning & this fecker nails ya to the wall.......wow. Deffo not for the faint hearted, it would make most of those hand baggy nostalgia NS types cry !!! its hard as nails............. Russ

Feck me, just listened again........top tune ............please Uncle Ian, can we have some more.....!!!...........I feckin' want one NOW & it was my birthday yesterday...... Russ

It reminds me of Damn Sam the Miracle Man.......in the production, but the vocal doesnt sound like OC Tolbert (?)......................i want one please, hoofing NS for my mind ...........could see this going down well at the 100 Club & Burnley for sure, tis doin' it for me...... Best Russ

Dave Abbott had this covered up as 'Voices Inc - Thinking Again', but i think it was covered up ooooooop North as Sandra Stephens, not sure who was playing it out first though. Hope this helps some what. Russ

Keeps coming up files not found for me, t'other side aint bad tho' Russ

I dont want to get involved in any of the other issues, but what i would say is, if you cover something up, by posting the track on SS your giving it the best chance possible to get it uncovered as quickly as possible.............i respect anyone who does there best to find records that are not the same old same old, but surely it should have been played out by said DJ in sets & let the mystique of the cover up do its thing, posting it up on here is almost like a challenge IMO. rUSS

Also came out on the Kent Modern Soul CD & had the odd 100 Club play, he was brilliant live at the 100 Club too. Russ

Any chance of sending a clip Dave pse. Thank you. Russ

Yes & they are the ame group that recorded on the Together label 'I think I Really Love You' I prefer the later offerings as they tend to feature the girls vocals more. Still doing the 'Beach' circuit I beleive ???? Russ

Sat in my Pod in Iraq thinking how the f*ck did this happen .............deep breaths........think of all that lovely vinyl I can afford when i get home.........eventually . Russ

Sat in my Pod in Iraq

Try going onto the Essential Modern Soul Forum for recommendations..........also there are a lot of unsigned artists out there who use the WWW to get there products heard, these can be truly exclusive. I dont mind Mp3's, but i must admit, theres nothing like being able to hold something & touch it as well as hear it, also i kinda like the sleeve notes & photos etc, you get with vinyl & CD's. Hope this helps Russ

How nice to see everyone making suggestions & getting along nicely without any of the 'Disco Crap' type jibes, even tho' it might not be everyones cup of char..........did you get my email Ady ?. Russ

Mines a white label test press with hand written credits too..........I think JM had a few so i would try John first. Best Russ

That would be cool mate, can PP you the dosh. Russ

They were boots wernt they ???.......would think the Haley release would be kosher with regard pitch etc. Russ

I do kinda miss having a venue which is the 'place to be', where all the wheeler, dealers, dancers & other reprobates congregate together, a venue that is of the time. Russ

Thanks for that Bob.........very interesting indeed, must have missed this thread first time around. Thanks to all for thier help. Russ
