Thanks for all the contributions so far, great info Was going to suggest Irma Thomas 'Don't mess with my man' on Ron (1959), but while it's a tune I've known for years I actually can't recall ever having heard it out anywhere?

Fair point, though I was meaning the traditional northern scene I suppose

1957 Nina Simone according to Wikipedia Where would that have been?

Just been playing Richard Berry ‘Have love will travel’ and remember Roger Banks playing it out regularly late 90’s or so, Wilton etc Got me thinking there can’t have been too many 1950’s records played on the northern scene - Nina Simone ‘my baby just cares for me’ one that springs to mind - any other examples?

Interesting record Walter 'Flowers', context is everything I guess - remember Derek Howe in Manchester telling me years ago it was a Wheel sound as well but I didn't get it and still don't really Great thread by the way - anyone know if the old sign is still around?

Lovely 😄 Esther Phillips same for me at Hyde

Seemed to be everywhere around 1990 / 91 - big R. Searling plays on his Sunset Radio show, Blackburn, Droysleden, etc - of course she appeared at Droylseden a year or so later on the back of it I guess, along with Barbara Acklin Was certainly one of Mark Bicknell's big tunes at Droylesden around 1991/2, probably him at Keele as well? Don't recall hearing anyone else play it

1988 to early 1991 I think

Hyde was a great night, Mark a good guy as well, don't know whatever happened to him? Was on regularly in the NW for a while, great taste in tunes Me too E Williams from Roger, totally blown away by that one

I loved Paul Sindab I was a fool - first heard via Roger Banks at Hyde Botanical Thur nights, Mark Robertson also at the same time around Manchester- sounded awesome out loud, if less impressive at home

Good info thanks 👍

That's interesting, was assuming Donna Coleman eg would have had big plays much earlier Terry Callier I know from Blackbeat etc was getting played early 80's but maybe didn't go big until late 80's / early 90's? Jimmey Soul Clark 'Winner' heard out much before late 80's?

I was meaning they were newies to me at that time, but when and where were they newies to you?

Ha I know that, I was just interested in when you first heard them yourself?

Got to thinking about when I was 20 or 21 around 1990/91 and started going to niters regularly - Droylesden, Bradford, etc. Loads of records new to me then that I associate with that time and those venues, but obviously most had been played earlier - done a quick list below off the top of me head and would be interested to know where did you personally first hear these tunes? Jimmey Soul Clark - I’ll be your winner Donna Coleman - Your love’s too strong Reggie Alexander - It’s better Kim Weston - A thrill a moment Volumes - Same old feeling Terry Callier - Look at me now Hytones - You don’t even know my name Tommy Ridgley - My love is getting stronger Robert John - Raindrops, love & sunshine Paul Sindab - I was a fool Esther Phillips - Just say goodbye Cashmeres - Showstopper George Freeman - Down and out Geater Davis - My love is so strong for you Buddy Ace - True love money can’t buy Otis Lee - Hard row to hoe L Allen - Can’t we talk it over Posse - Evil George Wydell - Funny feeling Margie Joseph - One more chance Ruby Andrew’s - Just loving you Cheers, Chris

I had a tape of this at one point, might have come from Pete Smith? Worth asking him

Bit wistful reading this, some great nights back in the 90's Top tunes from a real mix of DJ's, great sound system and dancefloor, cool and knowledgeable crowd, etc. Struck a nice balance between connoisseurs vibe and dancefloor friendly - definitely one of my favourite niters of times past. No idea how I got home in one piece Sat mornings driving back to Nottingham though, always a total shambles 😁

Really interesting above, thanks for posting. Someone must have told them Boston wasn't too far from London 😁

Maybe not the first time it was done but always liked the way you can hear all the tracks clearly, Wicked Lester ‘Gaye with an E’ edit

Always looked forward to hearing Bob out and about during the 90's - Ritz, Wilton, etc - not the rarest of records necessarily but great taste and knows how to programme a set, unlike others I can think of who have some records but don't seem to have any idea how to string them together IMHO of course 😆
