  1. I think the partial clips are from a few years ago when site used to "clip" the tracks or cut 'em in half to get round the copyright laws, might be wrong.......... can also be a pain when all the info isn't entered, maybe each field should be mandatory before being allowed to post/upload??? also why do people keep posting tracks when it's already in refosoul, sometimes two or three times
  2. reading some more....apparently Spector lost a law suit and the award was the royalties of the next Crystals release I bet Sill was p*ssed off https://www.snopes.com/music/artists/spector.asp
  3. just read this on wikipedia... The "Let's Dance The Screw" saga The next single credited to The Crystals is one of the rarest -- and also possibly the strangest -- in rock music history. Reports vary as to the actual motivation behind the recording, but most agree that Phil Spector was looking for a way to annoy former business partner Lester Sill. What he came up with was a nearly six-minute song called "Let's Dance The Screw - Part I", which would have been unplayable on 1963 radio. The record featured simple instrumentation (very much unlike Spector's famous Wall of Sound production style), repetitive lyrics, and Spector himself intoning the lyric "Dance The Screw" numerous times in a deadpan monotone. (The B-side, Part II, was more of the same.) The Crystals sang the song's repetitive verses, though it is unclear if these singers were the 'real' Crystals or The Blossoms. Incidentally, some accounts mention that Spector's lawyer is actually the man intoning "Dance The Screw." The recording was never released commercially as a single, and only a few copies are known to exist (all marked D.J. COPY - NOT FOR SALE). The record was apparently only created to be a bizarre sort of joke at Sill's expense, who was soon to leave the Philles label, as a single copy was specially delivered to him in early 1963. Both parts of the song have since been released on CD. Further information about this strange recording can be found at snopes.com

    I don't care how far a dj has travelled or if he or she is local as long as they use some imagination and offer something else that all the others aren't already playing. Usually I prefer to travel but if the music policy is what suits me near home then so much the better.
  8. Just pulled the lp out for tonight, might give it a spin

    Not all Northern folk.....personally I can't understand all the (so called) dj's who ignore the many northern/soul records for retro sounding pop music. and shouldn't this topic be in freebasing? This section is All About SOUL.
  19. When you say "modern" do you mean "modern" as in today or the last few years or simply 70's northern oldies?

    The Bill Lucas is legit 2nd issue and like Pete unaware Dickie onder had been booted.
  21. try using the ebay desktop that uses the adobe air application....great for keeping track of your watches, updates itself, don't need to open your browser its there when you start the PC.... https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/inde...estudyid=383833
  22. to me that is just an oldie...70's northern if you like but wouldn't think of it as modern. Is there any out and out modern that has crossed over to the northern rooms with any great success in recent times?
  23. having problems here too with it, doesn't appear to be loading (the track).
  24. I'll be at Andys hopefully over the weekend, I'll sort some out and any others anyone wants to hear.

    I heard that too and that Ray Agee wasn't aware that it had been released either. Nowt new there, many artists unaware their material had seen a release. When we first met Don Gardner and he was shown Cheating Kind for the first time he said he wasn't aware it had been released.
