Epic

Is a demo classed as an issue ? If you get my meaning !!

In that case - sell me a US issue!!!

Earlier in the thread I mentioned Frank Wilson - does it or does it not qualify?

What assumption are we supposed to make from that remark - better? worse? - don't think the records played are better than 1974 - be so kind as to list 20 "top tunes" being played on todays scene. I will in turn list 20 records from 1974 to compare. No contest is it ?

This has to be in there!!!

This also applies to Baby Hit & Run - The Contours.

There is 2 versions of Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby - The MFP Album version is longer than the single which was released due to its popularity on the northern scene.

Can we include the Kent Anniversary 7's - San Francisco TKO's etc? What about Frank Wilson? Oops - just read postings on Kent singles.

This may interest one or two people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgj_g_qQG50

Blackpool Mecca.

The Javells appeared there I think - not sure whether it was early Saturday or The All Nighter - anybody confirm ?

"Give Me All Of Your Love" - September Jones (Body & Soul)

Agree with most on here about it being a long list. Top of mine :- "Lighten Up Baby" - Ty Karim (Romark version) It don't get any better than that!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen - Weekend is looming large - 14 pages of bo**ox - oops I mean lively debate. What conclusions have we reached? Where are we all going Friday & Saturday? Is it OVO or CR&P ? Does It matter? Enjoy whatever you do - THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT ISN'T IT???????

An early production outing for Vince Montana - didn't seem to do his career much harm - I like it as well if I'm being honest - heard worse records than this played out.

As I said - this thread keeps going round in circles. As I said - this thread keeps going round in circles. As I said - this thread keeps going round in circles. As I said - this thread keeps going round in circles. As I said - this thread keeps going round in circles.

"The Prior Caveats" - what a great title for a C/U !

Is this the original rule book or the later second issue with the added sections on dullards,chinstrokers & that actually enjoying yourself is frowned upon!!!

dull R&B is just that - DULL.

Everytime this thread - or simliar ones - which have been discussed many times - reissues, CDs, first time on vinyl etc etc. get's brought up - instead of hollering for OVO perhaps we should be championing tunes from a legitimate source to be played. I really have no problem with Kent or unreleased Motown CDs etc. being played at gigs - in fact I would WELCOME them because in the main they are quality tunes - so let's hear 'em & not some awful piece of rare early sixties substandard, dull R&B being played in the name of Northern Soul.

Weren't they the guys who sung "Get Out Of My Heart"

Been saying exactly the same thing for a long while now. There is so much good stuff that has only ever been released on CD - would be great to hear some of this music out & about - sadly current attitudes & certain people dictate otherwise. Perhaps the "next generation" will listen to music with their ears, dance with their feet, enjoy with their heart & leave the politics to Westminster.

Great list of tunes - but would you keep the dancefloor full for an hour with that set. When all is said & done a full dancefloor dictates how good a spot the DJ has delivered.

The version by Maxine Weldon is available on a Monument 7 inch - just as good IMHO.

Stop this common sense at once - it is totally unacceptable that so far into this thread a voice of reason has spoken up. I ask you where is the fun in playing & listening to previously unreleased rare soul?
