it would be far easier though to do an all-nighter without any Motown, in fact several all-nighters. Much of the Motown label isn't Northern Soul or even Soul, it was aimed solely at the mass white markets, much of the more soulful stuff was left in the can. Black dance music, R&B, group soul, doo wop existed before Motown so it is only natural to say it would have progressed without the influence of Motown as new production techniques and technology progressed. Motown also put many labels out of business or swallowed them up and stifled competition and many of those labels made better music, labels where the musicians were left to really show off their talent. As Steve says look at the Wheel topic somewhere on the site, Brian Philips posted loads of Wheel tunes that are not Motown and from what I've read Motown didn't have the influence in the early days of the scene that it had in later years.

Flynny definately played it, it is listed in his list of Dome spins on his website, Kenny as well. Don't remember Carl spinning this

Pretty sure there is a Disco topic in refosoul and a good discussion from a while back in all about the soul, can someone find them?

he was, most of his posts including this simply stirring the sh*t!!

Can't stand either of them. Said in another topic think Kiki Dee is one of those had to be there records...or a marmite disc, either love it or hate it. Derek Martin did a version too.

mid August apparently.

I dunno, I first heard it via Flynny or Kenny I think.

Just looked at the list of records Dave played at the Dome and yep Joey DeLorenzo is there so it is all his fault I thought he was one of the culprits to play this.

Could've been a hint of sarcasm in Smudge's reply Joan?

Wigan Casino still going strong according to some although they have had to move into a shopping mall

Flynny had one too didn't he. There was certainly 5 or maybe even 6 known about when it was getting plenty of turntable action.

Composers cheap IMHO as is the Attractions, don't see too many demos.

I wouldn't even say you were established, not for the first 24 years. 6Ts Rhythm and Soul Society, 1979. Still going strong and no break.

I wouldn't mind a listen to the sound files if any one can post them in refosoul. Only ever hear it when Mick H plays it.

apart from the shitty 2000 version which I think Joe himself put out , don't think it is on an officially legit cd, could be wrong?

this one? https://www.collectorsfrenzy.com/

I did Russ, not been out of the box for a while but me thinks time for dusting off I thought I'd put this in refosoul but can't find it, give me couple of minutes!!

some fabulous scans and photos in the topics for label/artist of the week, some great info and superb resource available to all at anytime. Keep up the good work

isn't there a version by the Righteous Brothers?

Brilliant Rod

you can listen to both versions on the sounds page of the Lifeline page, link is in my signature. One of my fave 70's tracks and both good takes IMO but obviously only one has the right tempo to play out.

The original is dodgy isn't it? 60s track pressed in the 70s? JM wasn't convinced of it authenticity in one of his guides.

out of interest Shute, what was the offer for Bill Sampson. I've seen it listed lately and I think it was cheap, rarer IMO than the price listed.

and just how many topics do we need about Soulboy the movie?
