I think this podcast is still up and very relevant to this topic, here's the track list OLDIES OBLIVION 3/2/07 https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?page_id=11 Once upon a time, these tracks were at the top of the heap - amongst the biggest sounds of the day - but now they are kept out of view, at the back of record boxes and on dusty shelves, never to be removed from their sleeves. Why? Have a listen to some of the biggest Northern Soul tracks of the 70's and decide whether they should remain in Oldies Oblivion!

PETE SMITH 28 JENKS ROAD WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0BL 01902 893569 Pete.smith@freeuk.com JUST A HANDFUL OF GOODIES LOU JOHNSON - UNSATISFIED - BIG TOP WHITE DEMO EX- 50 This is a very rare white demo of this classic. It has a few marks and some very light crackle near the start, barely noticeable. I think this might only be the second WD I've had of this. KENNY SMITH - LORD WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOUR PEOPLE - GAR DEMO M 75 Best copy I've ever seen - absolutely mint, possibly unplayed APRIL, MAY & JUNE - HE WENT AWAY - RCA DEMO VG++ 50 Stunning midtempo girl group track, this is the RCA demo not the Decca acetate I mentioned last week, you can hear the track here if that link doesn't work, copy and paste it - it's definitely correct this one has a bit of crackle at the start and writing on the label ROBIN RICE - I'VE HAD IT - CRACKERJACK DEMO EX- 50 This is the orange label demo, not the usual white label - rare. Graded EX- because of a couple of light marks not affecting play. MIKE ANCONA & THE JOKERS - BOUND FOR LOVE - CHASE EX OFFERS Bit of a mystery record here. I think it's a blue eyed soul effort from either Texas or New Orleans and the group is supposedly the same ones who did "Soul Sound" but this doesn't appear in any price guide or any website by the looks of it, so maybe a new discovery. sorry link wasn't working - it's up in look at your box anyway, I'll be back with loads more goodies next week cheers Pete POSTAGE EXTRA £1.80 RECORDED £5.50 SPECIAL ALL CARD WELCOME, PAYPAL (4%), CHEQUE, CASH, BANK TRANSFER

It's already up somewhere - I've posted it twice before, I'll see if I can find it

Try and find the pic I sent up of Andy Rix's Shrine record, broken into several pieces when it was the only known copy to exist! Sent in a jiffy bag without any cardboard to protect it.

Leonard Whiting? Did you know he did a great version of Walter Jackson's "Thats What Mamma Said" a few years earlier on Pye...he only sounds like a young teenager but it's a great arrangement.

This was actually pressed/reissued with the same track on both sides I think - not a dj copy though

Pretty obvious what's happened here, like someone says - they haven't turned half of the channels up, that's why half of it is missing! Where's the drums for a start?

Yes - and a bootleg 7"

I've a friend who has a copy of this which he may sell so if you'd be interested in making him an offer please PM me. cheers pete

Wouldn't worry about it - it's only the same four or five people who are angry

This is what I got when I did a google picture search for Anderson Brothers

Right I know where I got it from now - off Irish Greg.

This is on one of my own podcasts but I can't remember what it is - is it a cover up? It's here https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?page_id=11 and page down to "A selection of northern tracks", hit the play button, it's the very first track. many thanks pete

Gypsy is by Dry Well on Lauren, used to be loads about but not seen one for a while, 50 quid I should think (also came out under another name I think). The instrumental of Lets Spend The Night Together is by the L.A. Power & Light on Warner Bros. £20

What my ears tell me. Have you heard the bloke on the kazoo at the end?

True. You can't base anything on that book. They ought to try reading Dave Shaw's "Casino" instead.

What is a fact is that the This England footage, as Paul says, does NOT show the best dancers. It mainly shows people jumping in front of the camera to do daft acrobatics which had not been seen for 2 years until the cameras came out. What the directors really should do is study the OUTTAKES which really does show some great dancing: the shots of Pete Rickets shuffling (or 'stomping') in the show you only see his feet and his legs, in the outtakes you see all of him and he is truly fantastic (he is the black guy with the white t shirt and shades). If you can't get hold of the outtakes I'll sell you a copy

Definitely I reckon. Though the link on the old topic no longer works. There is a clip of it somewhere though.

This is brilliant - we had a good old discussion about this a year or so ago /Girl-Gr...eed#entry491717

I first heard it on a tape I got from Mick Smith in 1993, it was labelled as Pee Wee, Shuck & Huey, I said to Mick is that the real artist and he said no, it's a cover up. So for five years I tried to find out what it was but nobody had ever heard it. One night I went to the 100 club and I was selling records next to Butch and the record came on - so I said to him, I've got this but it's covered up as Pee Wee, Shuck & Huey, do you know who it really is? And, deadpan, he says back to me "Yeah it's Pee Wee, Shuck & Huey"

You misunderstood me mate, I think it's worth a grand, 1200 maybe, but not 3 grand.

Sorry Eddie, I meant back in the old days, didn't realise anyone would even contemplate it in 2008!
