    Reply to Bearsy... Got asked to dj and I will be playing uptempo northern including 4 unreleased tracks that nobody has heard that do cut the mustard...when I do my own gigs in Southend its all uptempo northern....no r and b no Latin no xover no boogaloo.Regarding rare soul....I have listened to various podcasts etc etc but I find I just don't like rare soul but I do like northern.I can see why oldies gigs are full and rare soul gigs have low numbers ....

    I always shy away from gigs advertised as rare soul ....bad memories of four oclock sets that had me scurrying to Ritz bank holiday dayers as soon as they started.Listened to some rare soul podcasts recently and the music is still bad....but I don't want to listen to the same old northern either.....

    Best one I had was after playing Oh Happy Day....girl dancing energetically....I then stuck on Heart Be Still....girl comes over stop playing this seventies crap.....?????

    I think there is too much diversity modern soul r n b Latin funky and rare soul....which is a beast that I just do not understand! I've listened to a lot of it and I find that its too mid tempo and suffer from bad productions yet The Tomangoes is rare soul and northern soul and right up my street...when the two meet its great ...when they don't oh dear..

    Paid about 15 pound in 89.It got big spins in the jazz clubs leading it to be reissued on a jazz juice lp.Most deejays played it from Rashida.Another big track was Seawinds He Loves You...wonder if that got a 45 release.

    Sorry D Doug Banks is a poor cha cha cha record with Herp Alpert style mariachi brass.Soft Walkin is another American Graffiti style tune.Don't get me started on Emperor Of My Babys Heart or Gettin.to me.Who thought it would be a good idea to spin this stuf....oh another Cha Cha Cha...Carbon Copy......skip em.

    I always thought watching the dj pulling out records......cueing up.....chinwagging about labels....current prices....pressings....unreleased stuff....acetates ....pulling a record off because you changed your mind....quickly having to pull another out....flicking through the box for requests...swapping and selling was what it was about.CDs from Asda....when did that come into the equation?

    Can't he borrow a collection of records for these odd revival gigs..Im sure we can all lend him a few to avoid this second thread on Colin Curtis playing CD's....

    B side of The Romeos is the Dbs....

    Doug banks I just kept on dancing.....bad memories of the turgid beat ballads played on the eighties nineties...

    Just wondered what period this is being filmed in and do you have to wear period costume...ie 74 75 76 etc
  12. Wiggyflat
    Th other side Jack In A Box is great
  13. Wiggyflat
    Rob was Suavecito the same track that Rule Garcia did on Billionaire records....a funky Latin track.

    Frank Wilson can't be that rare...it gets played at every soul night going...

    Frank Wilson can't be that rate...it gets played at every soul night going...

    Most of the above stuff is more mod orientated I would have thought.You can't even get away with underplayed oldies....its got to be obvious stuff.If he's playing in a cellar bar this stuff might work but I doubt it would in a big venue with a sprung dancefloor.

    The Free isn't worth much...its a failed Richard Searling spin...he's holding it up on the pic with Russ and Kev.There's a rare version of Give Me Just a Little More Timeby Wayne Fontana demo only I'm led to believe.
  18. Wiggyflat
    I would class these as mod club soul sounds..not really northern.
  19. Wiggyflat
    Paid 90 for the demo....is this an oldie?
  20. Wiggyflat
    Just bought could have been you....just right for today....lol ....proper funky northern

    I'm seeing old soul pack stuff selling at top prices...Helena Hollis Baby You're right 150 quid....Artus You are better 150 quid....15 Cent Love at 100 quid....prices just seem to be on the up and up.
  22. Wiggyflat
    That's the one....what's the Paul Layton like?
  23. Wiggyflat
    To Pete... No its definately soul...a black artist.Will go through the collection later and dig it out.Brown label and Paradox written in white.There's some other UK things that are still unknown Joe Benjamin Good Morning Baby on the UPC....I sold a spare I had to Wellers bass player Andy Lewis....I've a really obscure version of Lost And Found by the Peoples Choice but by Referendum on Uk RCA...The Stuart Brown RCA 45 went for over 150 recently on Manships as well....Exotics 45 s are getting harder to find as well.
  24. Wiggyflat
    I've a record on the brown Paradox label with press release sheet....only ever seen one.Maybe Pete can remember it.
  25. Wiggyflat
    Can anyone give me a link to the website that has collated all the different centre label variants of nearly every record company. Thanks
