  1. Good shout Mickey, some still at Juno and not showing low stock yet
  2. Knew post Stafford but didn't know '87. Played it to death
  3. Remember it on a great Guy Hennigan tape from the mid 80's with a load of his plays on
  4. Very interesting that - was eying up the blue shirt until I realised it was £920 😆
  5. Good post that Mickey, also with a link to a recent piece on Charles Stepney
  6. Can't think of many artists I've spent as much time listening to over the years - from being blown away when I first heard 'Wade in the Water' at Tommy Smith's Birch nights at Ashton Manchester early 90's, the fabulous 'Hurt so bad' being the background music on Richard Searling's show for years ("next Saturday night at the Chadderton Bowling Club, Oldham", etc), through Spring High and so many others - never far from my turntable. Thank you Sir for all the wonderful music - here's a particular favourite of mine:-
  7. If they had access to the masters they maybe just used slightly different mixes by mistake, or whatever they thought sounded best - possibly a bit like (as documented elsewhere on here) some Kent LP tracks have slightly different mixes to the 45 releases
  8. Came across this great 1970 BBC Archive film recently which got me thinking about the soul scene around that time Was only born in 1970 so interested in any reflections on the north / south divide in the 1970's in relation to the soul scene (or just generally I guess) Did the country feel a much bigger place with less access to decent transport, road systems, etc? Godin coming up to Blackpool must have seemed a long journey. Did people in the north think the southern soul scene was full of hippies, or flash geezers, etc - what was the view of the time?
  9. Been meaning to post on here - sad news indeed, a truly talented guy with a fabulous voice, very underrated in the overall scheme of things IMO Don't think anyone has posted this yet - never get tired of it
  10. Wow that is amazing - wonder why though? Surely no point in listing for those prices if it's still a £40 - £50 record
  11. Funny I went to Chicago in 1999 and like you say could have had as many 50 cent copies of Chimes as I could have carried - ended up with only about 4-5. Didn't reckon much to it at the time but has grown on me over the years and I can see why folks like it now - would be interested to hear if it is being played out
  12. That ties in with my recent 'Cheap 45, now expensive' thread where I was asking if current demand and increased prices for certain tunes is down to plays out? I mentioned Oscar Perry 'I got what you need', Maxine Brown 'Let me give you my loving', Chimes 'Beginning of my life' - didn't really get any answers as to whether they are getting played out, where the demand has come from etc
  13. Yeah that's what I meant
  14. Whoever sold TSU Toronadoes will be disappointed, gone for more than that on here recently
  15. Ha thanks, yes I did
  16. 😆 yeah not easy at all Mal - I'd go for either of the two male versions I think but hard to choose between them - played JJ more over the years so probably edges it over PJ, but very close - PJ a favourite current spin
  17. Not posted on here for ages so thought I'd list what I played on Sat night - outdoors with the fire pit, few ales, bottle of Redbreast Irish Pot Still 15, couple of smokes and a 2am finish - fantastic night, proper across the board selection. Doesn't look loads of tunes but played some three or four times for maximum enjoyment 😁 Jeff Perry - Love don't come no stronger (Arista, early version) The Chimes - Beginning of my life (Down to Earth) Almeta Lattimore - These memories (Mainstream) Jimmey 'Soul' Clark - (I'll be your champion) I'll be your winner (Soul Hawk) Phillip James - Wide awake in a dream (Soul) Merle Spears - I want to know (Whit) T.N.J's - Don't forget about me (Chess) Sandra Feva - Just to be close to you (Venture) Windy City - We party heavy up in heah (Innovation II) Ola Onabule - Soul Town (Disco Soul Gold) Jeffree - Love Loan (Expansion Special Reserve) Boris Gardiner - More than words can say (Bronco) The Supremes - Up the ladder to the roof (Tamla Motown) Clara Ward - The right direction (MGM) Ray Merrell - Tears of joy (Jay Boy boot) Stanley Woodruff - What took you so long (Juldane) Lou Rawls - You'll never find another love like mine (PIR) Gladys Knight & The Pips - Landlord (Columbia) Robert Parker - I caught you in a lie (Nola) For what it's worth, and IMHO Sandra Feva could and should be a huge main room tune (assuming it isn't already and I've missed it) - any thoughts?
  18. I was meaning more current prices of certain records ie Maxine ‘Loving’ or Oscar Perry ‘Need’ that have seen recent hikes - are they getting played out / are they big current records anywhere? I don’t go to many soul nights so just interested, and any other recent examples
  19. Just playing Chimes ‘Beginning of my life’ (Down to Earth 45) and got me thinking about previously cheap and common records that are currently in demand and rising in price - Chimes suddenly £100 or so, Oscar Perry ‘I got what you need’ £160, Maxine ‘Let me give you my loving’ £120 off the top of my head Just wondered are these tunes being played out at venues, hence the demand and price hike? Any other recent examples?
  20. The B&D Shuffle, a Peterborough / Norfolk thing as I understand it, to the Len Boone tune
  21. Love is under control?
  22. Just been listening to Richard Searling's excellent Mecca podcast from a couple of years ago in which he talks about travelling up to Blackpool with Simon Soussan Interestingly he says 'Simon Soussan made Wigan Casino, sent loads of records over, a lot of them exclusives - created Wigan' I was only 3 or 4 years old around 1974 so obviously have no first hand knowledge, but struck me as interesting that he was so clear about Soussan's involvement, influence, etc. I always assumed SS was just a record dealer type who got lucky with few home made versions or backing tracks but no more than that Was it felt at the time by the general crowd i.e. you lot that Soussan was pulling a lot of strings at Wigan?
