Greety did a great set at Lifeline Has the knowledge and experience, something no amount of money or hot box can buy. -
Dunno why it isn't showing in searches Pete. Take what you've been offered Pete, nothing to do with anyone else really.
-
It's not unknown Pete, well maybe to some of those who returned to the scene? It has had plays over the years, especially the 80's. Price, I guess what Dave said.

Exactly many were done to make money on a trend rather than for the love of the music, not saying they didn't love the music who did them but my guess is the motives were money for many of them.

My reply wasn't a direct reply to you, think we posted at same time. I once collected all the original Grapevine series, good set to have but I wouldn't collect Destiny, Disco Demand or Casino Classics. Guess it is up to the individual what they collect. I didn't collect UK, still don't, Grapevine was the only UK label I collected (except Kent).

Many of the modern day UK issues are considered nothing but legal boots by some and those that play them out are frowned upon. Unissued material different again and playing of these accepted.
-
Thats why I suggested an updated stand alone price guide for those that do carry stuff like this, JM PG 5th addition can be a bit big to carry about. If an updated boot guide was to be done maybe it could be pocket sized?
-
all depends if you want to carry one or t'other about with you, if you do the boot guide would be better. Maybe about time a separate updated boot guide was issued with the scans in with the details and not having to go looking for the scan to compare with the data.

The original is the first press. Later presses are re-issues. MCA purchased Decca in the 60's.

He doesn't know so he is asking, not everyone is clued up.

Basically original vinyl is a 45 (or LP) in it's original format, it's first release, more often than not a local release. This then moves on to national release if picked up by a major. Then follows a re-issue if demand follows or becomes a hit a few years down the line and a re-press is needed. The release of Richard Searling's isn't considered an original by the majority of collectors or DJ's although it will be legit. The original release is on Sandbag. There are other boots and releases of this too. Bootlegs and re-issue make buying a nightmare for those who don't know the difference. The best thing top do if unsure is ask on here, you will get an answer pretty quickly.

Jimmy Norman R.i.p. View full article

Looks like a few passed away lately... Jimmy Norman died yesterday after a long illness and battle with his health. http://www.jimmynorman.org/ R.I.P. clip from above site Jimmy Norman, after a long illness, died on Nov. 8 in New York City. When he left the Coasters after 30 years of performing, Jimmy was in poor health for over a decade. However, during this period, he recorded Little Pieces in 2004 and The Way I See It earlier this year. Those two records, produced by Kerryn Tolhurst, were among Jimmy's best work. In addition to be a prolific performer, a great storyteller and a master musician, Jimmy was an old school songwriter from Nashville. He combined the best of soul and R&B, along with country and blues, and turned into a music of his own. He schooled a young Bob Marley, who at the time wanted to be an R&B singer, and was close friends with Jimi Hendrix... clip from wikipedia Jimmy Norman (August 12, 1937 - November 8, 2011) was an American rhythm and blues and jazz musician and a songwriter. In his early career, Norman had a charting single of his own, "I Don't Love You No More (I Don't Care About You)", as well as performing session work with Jimi Hendrix, but he is better known as a lyricist and songwriter. He wrote the lyrics of the song "Time Is on My Side", which became a hit for The Rolling Stones,and later in 1985 re recorded and produced by Stephen Vanderbilt featuring "St. Tropez" as the A side of a 45 released on the album "Home" throughout Europe. Norman composed a number of songs performed by well-known musicians including Johnny Nash and Bob Marley. In 1969 he became involved with doo-wop band The Coasters, first as a producer and then as a touring member. He was also recording independently, releasing a solo album in 1998, the same year poor health forced him to retire from performance. Like many other musicians of his time, he was not financially prepared for retirement or heavy medical bills, and with few royalties for his writing soon found himself in economic crisis. With the assistance of charitable organization Jazz Foundation of America, Norman regained his feet and resumed performing, releasing his first wide distribution album in 2004,Little Pieces. He performed in the Manhattan area until shortly before his death. more at http://en.wikipedia....ki/Jimmy_Norman -
I'll set one up as soon as I get chance, won't be today though, might be weekend.
-
I'm not, but I guess some could if they hear said DJ's week in week out?
-
there might not have been many copies about but in the hands of Tim, Ginger, Mick, Arthur etc, between them they do a lot of sets and it does get heard on a regular basis
-
Don 't think I've ever seen a mint one of these?
-
seen one for sale recently Paul but can't remember where....not a lot of help I know but if I remember I'll shout up
-
Could expand the poll to include soul sista number 1 and group?
-
trouble is who do you include in the poll and who do you leave out? Come up with a list of names and I'll set it up
-
So many wonderful artists, each and everyone different in their own way that make Soul music so rich and diverse and why we love it above anything else out there. Like you say it is all about opinions and that is why so many suggestions. As a single artist so many I could choose, Tommy Tate, Jackie Wislon, Marvin Gaye etc. James Brown never left the impression on me as others have done even though he has a great catalogue. As a group it would be the Temptations I think, 60's and early 70's with the classic line-ups although they have much more to offer. As a duo probably Eddie and Ernie.

I understand your argument and where you are coming from........ There are still records being discovered, just the quantity isn't there any more. There are plenty of forgotten and records ignored first time round, that is where I would look to before looking to the funkier stuff. Don't get me wrong if it has the right beat then all well and good, but if I wanted a funk record with a beat alien to the records I've been listening to all these years I'd go to a funk club. Feel Like A Fool just about acceptable, t'other side I dare say most dancers in a large venue would sit down. BUT as I said it would be boring if we all liked the same stuff and we would have nothing to talk about either
-
Fair doe's to anyone for trying anything but as you say too tricky to dance to IMO, the beat is all wrong for your average NS dancer. Think records of this ilk just highlight the lack of quality 60's dancers coming through, I mean records still turning up but not enough and DJ's etc having to look elsewhere. 8th Anniversary in February at the Stables...see you there?
-
It's been played a while but not a track I like, regardless who is playing, just can't see the appeal to the wider audience, especially dancers. It seems to me that it appeals to just a few and alienates too many. I see a lot of the funkier stuff clear the floor, not just at Lifeline but other venues too. Plenty of tracks from Lifeline DJ's I don't particularly like, would never say don't play them but thats not the point, just think with this it is a case of rarity over quality and fail to see what all the fuss is about. But each to his own, one man's meat, it would be boring if we all liked the same stuff etc etc..........

I'm sorry but if this is what the rare/northern seen has been reduced to in the name of progression then it really is in a sorry state (IMO of course). It might be very rare but a case of the Emperors New Clothes IMO. George got it right when he said it was dull.
