  1. An absolute killer track on Musicor(new talent)which Carl Fortnum is currently featuring is Bob Soprano"hey girls",out and out northern,definately worth a look.
  2. Sorry no,similar in style to Blackstreet"no diggity"
  3. Playing a mid tempo hip hop/RnB type track sounding similar to Rick James.Its on an old Andy Davies Solar radio prog from around 10 yrs ago,a real atmospheric feel with the hookline"I just don't understand",any ideas folks?
  4. Always take an emergency 45 to play when you've lost the dancefloor...remember to duck!
  5. Phantom janitor was from "Hong Kong phuey" when Richard used cartoon characters as artists names wasn't it?
  6. Willie Tee worth it just for that,fabulous track.
  7. Don't expect to hear the Debonaires played out these days,great track.Prefer J.T.Rhythmn(James Thorpe)version of"my sweet baby"though,shouldn't be too fussy though,still a good version to play.
  8. Great track,almost the same as tomorrow's men"who's that lady"same backing as El Anthony"we've been in love too long"..connections eh?
  9. Great venue for Manchester at that time,once a month you could do Saturday at Wigan,hang around Manchester till noon,then do the all dayer.Strange when you think now that it was the norm for attendances to be 1000 plus in those days.
  10. Flip it over when it arrives!
  11. Wasn't that label a source of cheap alternative versions of the big sounds of the day?,ie Trieste"I can see him making love to you",inferior take on the Anderson bros.Dont know who was behind it though.
  12. Seems to be a case of rarity over quality to me,not a patch on Tony Hestor,vocal nowhere near as soulful.
  13. Artistics"girl I need you",fabulous track,must have sounded years ahead of its time on its release.
  14. I went to see my doctor the other day he said I was paranoid,well he didn't actually say it but I could tell that was what the bastard was thinking!
  15. Agree its a great track,needs cueing in somewhat though..that intro!
  16. Fast forward 40 years,and the lead singer with"a flock of seagulls"revived that hair do..or hair don't in this case!
  17. Not northern,but Stevie Wonder"just enough to ease the pain"fabulous ballad as good as anything he did(on you tube)whilst there check Little Milton"give me this chance",obviously not Motown but any chance to promote these tracks..you know how it is!
  18. Black pudding Bertha wasn't really the queen of northern soul,she was a professional arm wrestler but the Goodies didn't think it right for their 70's chart smash.
  19. Alex Jones has one,you're right though,no one plays it,not such a bad thing though sometimes.I think its one of those"not for everyone"45's a la Paul Kelly"the upset".
  20. Oh by the way,Spencers 40" soul bags were only ever 39",I really will get me coat..ooh me back!
  21. I think Mel Torme was married to Thora Hirds daughter..I'll get my coat!
  22. Flanny,always remember,no matter how many holy grail tracks the big money guys play,they never sound as good as when played by guys like yourself who have the history.No matter where you are,there's always a small percentage in the club who think that way.As for myself,my soul education beyond 1969 was shaped at the Orwell"where soul lives"great logo..and how true it was,best wishes from me & Eileen.
  23. How can you have an authentic celebration of that great club when the music that featured at that time will be played in the lesser of the two rooms?
  24. Blimey Martin! Kill everybody off right away why dontcha! Mongo Santamaria?..what about the warm up?
  25. You need to get out more young man!
