I said this on another topic..... Ignore the rare and the trophy records. There are tons of 45s at sensible affordable prices that would make a cracking nighter. Might not be new discoveries but many unknown to the majority cause the majority just don’t go digging anymore. They are force fed certain records, a certain collecting ethos, just like you are force fed the news agenda. John Bowie it ain’t even rare, you’ve heard it a million times, switch of this force fed narrative and just go and dig, be that in record boxes or just listening to random cheap sound files on websites, open your ears and your minds. I don't understand the obsession over some the supposedly rarest yet most over played records on the scene....not just the northern classic oldies scene but go to any crossover or supposedly upfront venue and you will hear the same records month after month, year after year. There is no imagination, hot boxers, little knowledge amongst the Djs because they've never had to dig, just go out and buy the big records Butch for Andy Dyson for example have found. The classic side, same big records you've heard a million times over 40/50 years. Would you listen to an episode of Top of The Pops from 1978 every week? No you wouldn't so why do it with soul records? As I said there are tons never played, virtually unknown to the masses, records that would make a great all-nighter. Some of the fodder passed off as Northern Soul at some of the nighters now would never have got played just a few years ago, they are pretty poor but they cost a few bob. Has it come down to what a Dj spends to make them now as a DJ? Must be because it isn't because of what they are playing in some cases.

Dave Rimmer’s site as good as anywhere. I presume when you say Tamla Motown you want the Uk label? https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/tamlamotown.htm

Another initially sad story of a failed group in Detroit but with labels like MD, Mark, Des and Jordan, all who care more about the music and its heritage than the money, the group finally gets the recognition it deserves. Keep up the great work. Some top notch previously unreleased soul music has had the recognition it deserves through the work of MD Records.

Discogs probably

Anyone mentioned the obvious one for Salmon fishers? Wade In Water

No guest this week, just two hours of great Soul Music

Roy Handy - Baby That's A Groove. Fish and Chips in the lyrics.

same for many

Both Move Me and Where Is He are as bad as each other. Judy Street I did say out of fashion but as wide eyed youths at 2am it is/was great, not something I'd want to hear today.

exactly, why I left the soul out

Opposite for me, Flamma Sherman is terrible, Judy Street, might be a bit out of fashion these days but its a great Northern dancer.

There is as far as I know no official release of the instrumental in any format? Isn't the extended mix of heartbeat just Pt1 and Pt2 together?

Nola first Dec 1964/Jan 1965. Atlantic Feb1965

dunno

There is a boot of the demo, deadwax details will tell you

Dean is joined by one of the most prominent Djs on the Rare Soul Scene Andy Dyson. Two hours of laughs, banter and music.

Two that need erasing from history, Dean Barlow - Third Window, from which he and every copy wants throwing and Barbara Dane and the clippity cloppity I’m On My Way Oh and another forgettable, the worst record ever Joey Delorenzo

It’s because we want it done right. I found the Torch, Wheel and 100 Club enjoyable, Richards contribution too. Russ was all about him again. It’s not just about the music though, the history and getting it right is also very important IMO.

It was an oldie by the late 80s. Sam late 70s played it

Full of inaccuracies, Signatures have played with all the major soul acts. Said it not once but twice

Finally found Richards contribution which was on the nose and much more pertinent with regards to the Casino. Had suffer some rubbish from Charles and some of his guests to find it mind. Hopefully, once this is all over Marconie and Charles will not be allowed anywhere near the subject again.

The beeb finally get it right letting those who were there and involved tell the story of some of the iconic all-nighters. We also learn that there was a scene before and after the Casino The only one that let it down was the one that featured the venue that we are celebrating, Russ and the Casino. Not just his choice of music but his constant rewriting of history and bollox. I get the grudge between Richard and Russ but to airbrush the venues greatest Dj out altogether was simply criminal. Some of the scene most iconic records were first played there and we get Ghost in My House ffs. More cobblers about the records he “discovered” plus the DILY saga. Would have been nice to hear some modern soul and show the scene wasn’t all about 60s stompers.

Louis (R.I.P.), one of the Cybermen was the manager of the Tiffs which Richard booked believing the Casino was closing. Russ and one other promoter tried to book it but Louis hid from them so that only Richard and Bernie got the place. Of course when Russ heard bout thw October wvent Richard was promoting to keep Northern in Wigan Russ had “one” more night He also discovered the three before eight as well
