nice playlists!...quality tuneage again and another venue on my list of want-to-do's right on about big don's rebellion..loved it for years..you can see why it could have been covered up as little anthony?

that's a great spot there kev,..i was racking my brains with that one..i knew it sounded familiar..so i should now, it's in the playbox!

seeing these tunes lined -up..is every bit as good as reading them here every month..it was a honor to be on the dj list and to meet you all...what a great bunch of people, some truly unheralded but totally devoted record collectors who love to tell it like it is and awesome collections you certainly have! what was played by you guys is nothing short of breath taking..and judging by what i and many others already know...this place will not only endure, but will go from strength to strength as the word spreads...the destination folks, is north for serious shades of soul..a massive well done to PAUL, IAN, KEV & PAUL,..THANKYOU SO MUCH and KEEP UP THE BRILLIANT WORK!!

hi pete, ive deciphered what the second " unknown" is on the tape: it's "one man's leftovers" by 100% aged in proof on hotwax records

never doubted your credibility for a minute! top bloke!

shock - horror!!... ....not sylvester??...

One of Chicago's finest son's, possessed with a talent for writing and performing great songs...r.i.p. william butler....forever on The Right Track.

crackin' tunes there andy, more than enough to keep the dance floor buzzin' n' happy...lookin' forward to the trip on may 2nd, very much!

as with a large proportion of soul lovers in the u.k. LINDA JONES, blessed with the greatest voice...EVER! TOBI LARK possessed an amazing range as well..TY KARIM'S voice was also unique..then there's BRENDA HOLLOWAY, TAMI TERRELL & KIM WESTON.....GLADYS KNIGHT as well.....i can't relate to ARETHA....i honestly and genuinely believe the understanding, people have for her music.she just dosn't do it for me sadly,...maybe it's just her music, not the persona..or is it that she isn't immediately associated with the northern soul scene, whereas the others mentioned have been duly recognized ( without their actual awareness at the time ) for creating some stunning records that have fitted our purpose.

dulux?.....

no tobi lark or linda jones then??.....nuff said..

kev, the extra verse is also in the kim weston anthology, released by universal here about 8 or 9 years ago, both takes of the song are on the double cd.

pretty much certain there is a collectors market for the early releases, weather goldmine/soul supply or kent...so many now long since deleted. a lot of the hip-oselect stuff is limited edition as well, including the motown box sets...the 1966 item attracted enormous attention and sold out in double quick time..never to be re-issued,..that's just a few years ago,..since then it's value has gone silly on evilbay.....so, as i said, there has to be a market...tim brown still has a fair few cds..of course they're all out of press so they have value now...i bought northern soul of los angeles vol.1 about 4 years ago and that set me back £30.

you people are a mine of knowledge....this always amazes and impresses me!

i know for certain that some MCA u.k. re-issue's have " you baby " on the B-side...apologies geoff..got it the other way round by mistake...Len Barry wrote it and sang it first..Jackie's is the cover version.....and the best known. i may be wrong, but even some of the brunswick issues may initially have had " you baby " on as well.

This is very sad news, a truly great and prolific british songwriter...and singer of note. Ironically, i have only recently located a copy of " You Baby " for Mr. Taylor to put back in his collection...a tune, well spun in the zenith of both Wigan & Cleethorpes..and borrowed of course, by Len Barry as the original B-side to u.k. Brunswick release of "1-2-3". R.I.P. JACKIE TRENT.https://youtu.be/fbckScsgj7o

I told Richard about the Isley's track in 2009, when the cd anthology was released, so it took the best part of 5 years to finally get to a vinyl conclusion...and fully justified, so much so that we even made contact with one of the original co-song writers of that particular tune, Brian Wells..,who was delighted to see it get released. These box sets are a great idea, even though there have been initial teething problems with quality control, hopefully future release will have overcome that...the Capitol project should be interesting.... As for Vol. 3 ( which quite honestly, probably won't happen...and i doubt universal would take it on without Richard's expertise ) i'd definitely pick: Stevie Wonder - Why Don't You Come Home The Magnetics - Tell Me The Funk Brothers - You Hit Me instr. / Nowhere To Run Brenda Holloway - Cryin Time / All Your Love Marvin Gaye - You're Wonderful ( alt version )/ Lonely Lover / Sweet Thing Supremes - Don't Let True Love Die Kim Weston - Don't Let Me Down / Fancy Meeting You Here Four Tops - Tea House In China Town Martha Reeves & The Vandella's - I Will Follow You

A totally immersed feeling....when s.s. is good...it's GOOD! This is one of those days....well done Rob.

The SECOND northern soul record i EVER bought, on okeh..since then a demo has materialized and resides in the playbox, an ever present...Probably THEE most iconic tune to grace the scene, literally a national anthem..yet just one offering amongst his catalogue of great tunes..always in the shadow of his more illustrious brother, but that's not to take away anything from him because the "Right Track" will always be his signature, the driving force that sends generations of elated soulies to the dance floor..may we all pray for a miracle, amen.

HOPEFULLY....the guys and girls will put their playlists ( for all rooms ) under this banner... here's my thrupence ha'pennies worth between 2 - 3pm: The Capitols - I Feel Alright - Atco lp Lee Dorsey - Here Comes The Hurt Again - Stateside lp Dickie Wonder - Nobody Knows - Lee Williams & The Cymbals - Lost Love - Carnival Terry & Jerry - Mama Julie - R & B Kelly St Clair - Hear That Beat - Amm Wilson Pickett - I'm Gonna Cry - Atlantic Tobi Lark - Sweep It Out In The Shed - Topper The In Crowd - Grapevine - Brent Larry Harlow - Mess Around - Fania Roscoe Gordon - You Got My Bait - Jomada August Moon - Wasted Years - O Gee Ray Agee - Real Real Love - Krafton Gene Redding - I Got Love - Bell Roy Lee Johnson - Boogaloo # 3 Marshall & The Chi-lites - Price Of Love - Dakar Doris Troy - Face Up To The Truth - Capitol Skip Jackson & The Shantons - I'm On To You Girl - Dot-Mar The Esquires - How Could It Be - Bunky Sam Dees - Soul Sister - Lo Lo Buddy Ace - Pleasing You - Paula Had a few nice comments, but overall, everybody who played in the pub put in top drawer shifts.

THEE MAN!....... BELIEVABLY BRILLIANT!!!.........So Cool, So Professional, So Witty....So IN YER FACE with EVERY NUMBER....So Blindingly Obvious how GOOOOOD this white dude is.....even he had to wear shades!!....COMETH PRESTATYN...COMETH THE HOUR...AND THE MAN.......MITCH RYDER DELIVERED!!

it's an all-nighter geoff, 9 thru til 6.....always great guest dj's in the windsor suite and some truly amazing playlists...when they put em up!
