These two are mid atlantic and waiting to plop through the letterbox.Take Me To Paradise by The Cheers is also in the pack but it's not really a dancer.

Ive got the Herbert Spliffington from memory its a red label black writing....good 1970 reggae track and an inst version on the other side from memory.

Thats the drummer Filthy Animal Taylor.Still got the Sam Gopal LP on Stable....a few more bands Stoneground(best known for appearing in Dracula AD1972 playing Alligator Man) and Black Velvet who were also on UK Beacon.

It's even more bizarre ........Ian Kilminster (Lemmy)used to follow the British Birds who featured Ronnie Wood. The Birds did a version of Leaving Here for UK Decca which is where he probably where got it from.He then went on to acid head sitar band Sam Gopal.Oh and the drummer out of Motorhead Filthy Taylor was a teenage skinhead.

It was Clare Torry who they asked to replicate an orgasm...but i'm sure Doris Troy did backing vocals elsewhere on the lp.JJ Jackson was the UK equivalent of BST and another group called The Web who released an lp on Deram called Fully Interlocking.Zapatta Schmidt on Uk President also mined the BST sound and this was an alter ego for Eddie Grant....i had the album with a mincer on the front but it's not great.One of the best tracks that marries rock and soul is Romantic Attitude by John Fitch on UK Beacon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJEdHux8StE

Pete Best was the fourth Beatle until Ringo replaced him and George Best was nicknamed the fifth Beatle by the media

Venetta Fields, Clydie King an Shirley Matthews were the Blackbirds who backed Humble Pie. Black Coffee being the most well known song but the funkiest Humble Pie tracks are this and Thunderbox

Have been listening to The Doors Soft Parade (Runnin Blue,Morrison's tribute to Otis) recently and suddenly realised why I like it....the saxaphone player. I had never bothered checking out who it was playing and a quick google and found it was Curtis Amy.Got me thinking why I like Gimme Shelter by the Stones and of course it is Merry Clayton on backing vocals and released a version of it herself on Ode.Remember in passing someone mentioned a few soul influenced singers on Dark Side Of The Moon.....what part did other soul artists have in shaping rock and name the albums. Bohannon on the slide Trombone https://www.georgebohanon.com/bio.htm

I'm sure this has been done on a mammoth thread who discovered what ............hundreds of titles mentioned.

Kevin Johansen originally from 14 Chertsey Avenue Pallister Park Mbro then 21 Oaklea Close Norton then Hillside Rd Norton....used to buy records from Fearnleys in Mbro and Pat Brady at Darlington Dolphin Centre...deejayed at Wallys doo at xmas.

I'm originally Pally Park then moved to Norton....lived in London since 87.........Can't remember anyone having a decent collection but got a load of stuff from a boot fair at the old racecourse once uk 60's northern demo's....i wonder if this is Tony Pass's collection.

Love the late sixties and uptempo seventies stuff and "baby boy" styled funk at northern doos.........................love reggae,jazz,r&b latin at non northern doos and never the twain shall meet!

Bit more interesting than rent boy MI5 spies https://griffinwatch-nwn.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-do-we-call-him-5imon-quids-in-darby.html

lol......i got stung with that ..it's in the pile with the Transatlantics

This is your best bet....UK King what a schizophrenic label..there were loads of Rumblers Soulful jerk knocking around at one point that were unplayed and you had force the record out of the sleeve.I have had the Heather record for a long time as i used to buy anything that looked odd or promising on the label.I think she was irish from memory.Never heard the Sonny Hines.....what's it like? https://www.45cat.com/label/king

Bob Wright was the lead singer of Los Bravos...he had a spell away from music in 70-71 and worked on a Texas ranch and came back to London.He recorded this in late 71 and it was released in Jan 72.I wonder if Ian played it as a contemporary release at the time.

This one has 125 scratched at 5 oclock Good Guys side and RS10-141 at 9 oclock...... Tears side a small raised vinyl bump and RS10-140 at 5 oclock but no stamp.....i have been informed it's an East Coast press original demo...

I found about 400 OOTP white label records in a junkshop in London....still got them in a bin bag in the loft ..all titles although there were more Tracks to your mind than any others.

Pleasant easy listening music but not Northern enough for me either.....I'm sure he is playing this stuff and on the night will start playing a set of uptempo unknowns.Ive a CD he compiled for the Rocket and will put up a tracklisting most of which got severely panned on here.From memory Benny Harper-My Prayer,Old Devil Moon-Adam Wade,Return To Me-Bobby Samson plus a load of other great stuff.

Just bought a copy of this and it has arrived.....but i'm sure it is a boot.Got a faint memory that it should have a stamp on the paper label.There's no stamp in run out groove either.Quick reply appreciated.

Got this on a UK Columbia and 2 other versions by This N That on UK Strike and a version on Youngblood..time to sell!.More of a mod club/Wheel style sound.I wonder if this ever got any action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUCzyTy62wk

Thanks gents for the prompt replies....will do some digging on the others.

I now know i have an original of Epitome Of Sound on Sandbag and also The Geminiles I Can't Fight The Feeling....two great records.What else is there....sorry if this has been done before.

Always had this down for a boot as it doesn't have the raised embossed letters on the label............rescued amongst a load of Roy Handy boots in the Daveygate Centre in York......they used to have stuff to drool over if you were into UK northern and always stuck on the walls.

Just checked mine (demo).....it's the lip that definately gives the demo boot from original away....i don't think the boot has the R stamp(My Manship Guide volume 2 2008 states it is an H Stamp but it's definately an R at 4 oclock on the Life side and Prove side.)either from memory!....don't have that to compare (sold it for 99.99...oops) .BTW i'm still baffled by the Epitome red/white demo saga.....boots don't have the raised numbers? yet on my Geminiles record on Sandbag there's no raised numbers?? ...and we think archeologists are weird.They are going to have a field day with northern boots in thousands of years time.
