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

Boris Gardiner - More than words can say (Test Pressing) VG £225 SOLD Bought Mar 21 from Craig Moerer for $300 but also now got an issue so one needs to go As per photos it says 'Lloyd Robinson - I love you' on one side and blank on the other, however plays Boris Gardiner on the Lloyd Robinson side, and Boris 'Groovy kind of love' on the flip Vinyl a bit dull looking but plays loud and clear (louder than the issue) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZaHBnGlMgs

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 😆

Didn't know about that - was it booted at the time?

Great thread and info, thanks - love all the detail

Very decent article and photos as well

Queens Hall was so dark it took five minutes for your eyes to adjust 😂

Nottingham Broadway this Fri 16th July 16.30 and 20.00

Worth a post! Great clip

Been meaning to say thanks for contributions to this thread, kept me busy checking them out and some superb stuff new to me - really interesting to see other folks top buys - northern, reggae, new release, expensive, cheap etc

The Morcambe piece was on C4’s Ear Say as a piece by Gary Crowley if I remember right

Many thanks, will have a watch 👍

Thanks Dave, Not to go off topic but I'm not very good at telling vinyl from styrene 🙃

Can’t find the SP version on discogs at all - sample photos are the PL or MO versions

Wow, fantastic that Andy - what a great thing to have. Sounds way better than on the YT clip and makes more sense of course as the demo version ahead of BL. Thanks for posting 👍👍 PS always just assumed McCoy was Van McCoy

What is PS and PL?
