Russ would only take part if it was in the "poppy" section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Pete Carstairs has gone massive again all over the country while you've been away - 12inch remix of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy Ruffin - "I'll Never Let You Get Away". B side of "Farewell Is A Lonely Sound".

I mentioned on a previous thread that way back "then" Chubby Checker was "At The Discotheque". I don't think "At The Place That Plays Rare Uptempo Sixties Soul" was ever considered as an aternative title.

I think Uncle Dickie called it "Love You Like A Man" - by who I can't remember. Don't lie awake at night thinking too much about it though.

How Sad. Don't care what sort of soul floats your boat - we have lost a legend. One of the "truly great" voices of soul. RIP Luther.

Didn't want to disappoint Pete - as you haven't me.

QUOTE "Paula Parfitt Love Is Wonderful,whats it going for at the moment" Going for a lifetime of never being played again would be my wish.

IMHO the trick is to listen to everything - that way you don't miss out. Soul music was good yesterday & it will be good tomorrow.

The Very Last Drop - Bobby Thurston. Let It All Come - Main Squeeze

Jerry Ross, Joe Renzetti,Charles Calello & the master Van McCoy

NAH - Coming On Strong - Nancy Wilcox

LADA - Don't Depend On Me LADA - Hitch It To The Horse LADA - Uphill Climb To The Bottom LADA - I'm Standing LADA - I Go To Pieces ROVER - It's All Over ROVER - What Happened To Yesterday MERCEDES - Sitting In My 'C' Class

The 7 inch has a slightly less of a "boogie" feel. Different mix However even Chubby Checker liked being "Down the Disco" sometime in the midst of the 60s.

Nice to hear you put the 12inch version on Pete - just forget the 7" & album version - long version reigns supreme. Big tune @ Family Tree gigs - an anthem. Ebay has copies on quite regularly - between 30 & 40 quid now.

Like the JJ Barnes "Everybody Needs Somebody" Motown acetate - anyone got a soundfile of this?

Sneaky eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must be Henri Camara's agent behind this one.

Look At Me Now - Carl Carlton (Same as Terry Callier) Ego Levine played it from an acetate on the Dick Searling show some years ago

Until You Come Back To Me - Aretha Franklin Never Can Say Goodbye - Jackson 5 Tell Me What You Want - Jimmy Ruffin IMHO These are just good soul records - I think the word "commercial" refers to the fact they sold well & hit the mainstream charts - this does not detract from their quality. Perhaps we sometimes get bogged down in the rarity & value syndrome to listen to what real quality is hiding in the dark corners of our boxes.

Glad that is sorted then - I only said he was white upon information recieved. He could be from the planet Zod as far as I am concerned - what a wonderful piece of music he has given us.

Esko Affair - Salt & Pepper. Great Vince Montana arrangement over a naff catchy tune.

Records I am very partial to include - Al Williams Shawne Robinson Ronnie Mcneir Maurice Williams Chuck Cockerham (WHITE!!!) Danny Wagner (WHITE!!!) G.Davis & R Tyler (Instrumental) Mickey Moonshine pales (sic) into insignificance compared to the above tunes - they are Soul records. MM at best is a catchy pop record with "that" certain rhythm. Anyway Jon - lighten up - if you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined

" Shed some light on Mickey Moonshine?" I'd sooner shed about 4 ton of hardcore on him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :graywanker:

I think its called a guitar - sometimes those pesky backing musicians in the studio make a noise. Great record though - cheap as well.
