Bobby Sheen - Doctor Love Gregory Isaacs - Night nurse Alan Bown Set - Emergency 999 Ok, not all Northern, but it's the spirit that counts, innit?

Different song entirely - still think it's OK myself, actually came out in the UK on a gold Audio Fidelity label.

Thanks Simon, only heard the Walter Hammond once and it sounded the same to me! Now, what about the Earl Nelson on Duo Disc 108? Is that the same as the Mirwood cut, and is the B-side the same song as "Send for me, I'll be there"? Label listing courtesy of Mr. Flynn... https://www.capitolsoulclub.homestead.com/C...ilylisting.html So many questions...

Just waded through Dave Rimmers complex Jackie Lee discography on Soulfulkindamusic.net...can anyone confirm that the Walter Hammond and Earl Nelson versions of "Let your conscience be your guide" on Duo Disc are one and the same? If so they're the same as the version on the B-side of Jackie Lee "The Duck", and poor Dave's got some more additions...

Nice to have the date confirmed - I certainly remember seeing it, but thought it was late '66.

Now, now, don't judge it by todays standards....the past is a different country!

Love that description - it's going back in my main box ready for one of those "energetic" nights!

Janine, I'll miss our occasional (infrequent) cuddles! Good luck! Hippo.

Slightly out on the year...it was actually 1967... Hippo.

Somewhere on here I posted the flyer for the Original Drifters appearance in Cheltenham in 1966...b******d if I can find it now though!

At a guess Malc, they were probably not, there was a certain promoter at that time who brought over US groups and put them out under different names - e.g. the Velours as the Fantastic Temptations and the Invitations as the All-Star Drifters. Not sure who these were however...

Here I am...yes, deffo Freddie McCoy on Prestige 462, 7" single. Never played out these days, but occasionally in the privacy of my own home!

Yes, that's the one! Sorry, didn't know about the EMS thread. Never thought of this as particularly scarce, still a nice little track though!

Jo, that's brilliant! Bet most of us have done that! Jerry.

Don't know who told you it wasn't on 7" Sebastian, I've had mine since it was first issued!

...when you keep a NS cassette in your old Walkman and always put it on when passing through Yate on the train (Guilty as charged m'lud )

When you look at your watch, it says 6am, and you think "Time to get up" instead of "great - two hours of stomping left!" :angry:

How true - listen to some of the Jay Boy stuff, almost unlistenable now! Dreams Band "They call me Jesse James" is a prime example...

Great tune - my London copy is the actual copy I first heard played in a club back in 1966, one of those occasions when the sticker on the label actually means something to me!

well, apart from the aforementioned Miroslav Vitous, Miracle Workers, Leon Thomas (pretty avant-garde then!), things like The Memphians, M M and the Peanuts - even Music through Six "Floppy Ears"! Now who sold you that? Can't think...

Yup, well OK we weren't the first to play it but I bought it on spec and starting playing it a lot, several others picked up on it as well. Seem to remember someone going into print saying that Wigs oldies were far less imaginative than ours, maybe because the average age at Yate was slightly higher. Couldn't imagine hearing Etta James/Sugar Pie Desanto at a Casino oldies session but Tony Ellis used to pack the floor with it. And Lloydee, Petula Clark "I'm not in love"? Nah...but I remember Dee Dee Sharps version on TSOP getting spins. Possibly that??

Your memory's not shot, you're right...Robbie royal "Only you" on Mercury, played at Yate by Mac around early '79.

Maybe not at this distance in time, but it's a pretty solid set of tunes, and if you add in Clarkies big tunes of the time and some of Dave's left-field goodies you'd have a better idea. Worked for me anyway! Hippo.

Seen it on a list but never seen the scan!
