Agreed - think my signature says all you need to know.

Joe Tex "All The Heaven A Man Really Needs" & "Ain't Gonna Bump No More.................................."

Morecambe Weekender - May 29th - 30th & 31st. 3 x 12 hour All Dayers - 1.00pm 'til 1.00am each day. Brilliant atmosphere. Totally across the board music policy. Cost - TOTALLY FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! three inexpensive soul days/nights by the sea.

On the flip side of the coin I posted a record to somebody on Friday afternoon - recorded, insured etc. It was £5.40 just for postage yet I have charged a fiver - it's a swings & roundabouts thing - would like to think that nobody genuinely tries to rip people off - or is that me being naive ?

If we live by the OVO rules of the Northern Soul "jungle" & FW has left these shores - it should never be heard again at a venue in the UK.

Mentioned it before - Chapter 5 - "You Can't Mean It" "Look before you leap & count, count your blessings instead of sheep" Aye - they don't make "soul" music like that anymore !!

Oscar Perry - Fool From The Sticks (Backbeat) is a nice piece of country soul.

Four Tops - I'll Turn To (Jed) Stone Sharon Scott - Puttin' My Heart Under (Tat) Lock & Key Isley Brothers - Samir Breeze

My Dear Heart - Shawn Robinson.

ah yes - I have "Sweet Memories" of that Tanner bloke.!!!!

Look here - massive list. https://www.whosampled.com/

Benny Curtis - "Qwerty Hearts"

Anything by The Monitors

Always loved Blackpool Casino at The Peasure Beach - remember dancing to G Davis & R Tyler played by Baz Stanton - had some great friday nights there.

There used to be one in our local park !!

The emergence of the "beat ballad" - 60s R&B being played - most of the good stomper tunes had been discovered & played before 1980.

Championed these 2 CDs many a time on here - IMO the best "Northern" comps ever to have been released. Worth getting for the unreleased Sharon Scott tracks alone - one of the reasons CDs should be allowed to be played at venues !!

Great tune - as is "Aint Gonna Make It Easy" by Mr Lewis.
