Mello Souls, just about one of the best intro to a Northern Soul dancer ever IMO. Proper aggro or ampethesoul or whatever you wanna call it. In the days when I could that intro always had me running to the dance floor.

Agree great source of info. Put some work into it too.

Think I am now you mention it.

Got you Mick. Andantes is acetate only isn't it? Didn't Chris King have it? I tried to upload "Stevie" to my sound cloud but copyright detector stopped it

I can't find a full sound file to "I Wonder Why" but the bit I can find I can't hear anything to link the cover up title with it?

quick search came up with this one for The Originals....it's the flip showing though.

More live Stafford action for you. Guy sent me this tape last week. It is from 26th May 1985. Guy, Keb and dave Thorley in action. https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/stafford-top-of-the-world-26th-may-1985-guy-keb-and-dave-thorley/

I've just got a series of photos from Neil Salter of the Stafford day, some amazing shots. Just working out the best way to show them off??

Had one myself briefly in the 80's, traded it on, I was disillusioned at times, well I was summat

If Boy of My Dreams has "Stevie" on the fIip it definately exists. John Manship auctioned one and another in a collection in the states.

No tape Tony. Guy is going to look if he has it.

Arin Demain is Chuck Hampton

Robert Bateman is Vidalia, an acetate I think. Phil Terrell is Tha Jaggers, a version of the Commands "No time for you", also an acetate. Billy Sharae, Melba Marshall and the Maskmen are the ones I'm struggling with.

I have a list from Butch himself of what he played upstairs at the last Stafford and the Mello Souls definately on it. It was also played at the other Stafford, the working men's club, deffo before Blackburn. Anyway check your PMs Steve and tell me those cover ups.

All images and works are copyrighted and where possible permission sought to use. As far as I'm aware Rob copyright is attached as soon as the photo is taken, or any other work laid down by whatever method. Neither do you need to register it, just prove it is yours.

It would take more than that to embarrass me. I'm hardly bootlegging it for profit or even trade on so not quite what we are discussing here is it? If Mr Bradley has a problem I'm sure he will be in touch.

Yep that'll be me, dunno why he has to be so coy by just using forum staff, doesn't bother me if he uses my name.

The opportunity is here to put the record straight about the last 30 years. Some great DJ's who between them discovered some fantastic music over that period. Many dealers still had an influence during this time so not all about the DJ. I think most arguments are based on who and what you grew up with?

May well have been Pat as well as Guy. I have it down as Guy's "Don Adams - I'm glad you gave me one more chance" cover up from 1984.

To be fair Steve is making use of the article feature and has put together a decent argument for his selection that was also good reading. Others could do the same and put together a similar reply or simply read something else.

Knew he'd been il for sometime reading some of the posts on Soulful Detroit. Sad news for one of the legends of our music. R.I.P. Bob Babbitt.

Yes we do, haven't used it myself but pretty sure Cliff has. Why waste 25 quid or whatever it is now on a dub when the original release of said cut is probably a cd? This isn't about former DJ's playing classics burnt to cd so lets not go there again, we are talking about genuine cd releases, even if it is originally alongside a vinyl release. Sharon Jones I have most of her stuff, mainly on download as that suits my listening method fo many newer releases, on the ipod, I've no intention of playing her stuff out. But i wouldn't have any qualms playing her cd out if it suited or any other artist that had a cd release alongside a vinyl release.
