Funny how things change !!!! I used to play this [ driza bone -real love] when we was doin' RSG @ Drummonds IN King's Cross in London in 1990 & there was a few Northern die hard's who used to say to me Why Are You Playing this HOUSE MUSIC !!!! the mind boggles, now not what a difference a day makes, But what a difference 10 or 15 years Makes....I see Kashif "Rumour's" cropping up on people's play lists as well, another one people used to slag me off for....there are them that know's & them that don't....Make of that what you will....

Keeping the Faith As I Have Allways Done....

those live tape things are brilliant jon bring back a lot of memories

presume recorded from the decks? shame you didn't have an effects mike for the crowd noise (at least on the ones i've heard so far) but that's probably expecting too much!!

really great all the same

link

Yes shame there are no crowd noises on the tapes :shades:But that makes them a bit different than the usual Live Tapes But the best is yet to come Baz Ryley What a star he was ( RIP ) Not many DJ's could get away with Shouting & Singing along with the Records the way he did & be liked....

Was Danny responsible for Timi Yuro- never be over for me

link

I wouldn't say he was responsible for it But he used to play it a lot & come to think of it, When I hear Timi Yuro I do think of Young Danny Everard Danny & Keb @ Buzzard now @ Sounds on soul-source

JB

Keb played it as Marsha Gee

link

That's what I was waiting for....Just doing some More MP3's of Leighton Buzzard Allnighter DJ sets, there is a great 1 of Danny Everard followed by by an all Swearing & Cursing as usual Keb Darge & he play's it as Marshsa Gee - The Dance Track....& a whole lot more besides be on soul-source B4 9.30....

Wasn't this first played by John Vincent way before Keb, Wigan maybe?  Keb later reviving it at Stafford.  Can't remember what it was covered as though???  Was it covered?

link

didn't know it had been played that long ago good on you John Vincent....but don't remember it being played....

what was your favourite old record shop from the past and why,

Well for me it has to be Hearsay Records in Hemel, long time gone bought my first northern record there JJ Barnes Real Humdinger, & it was good to by Carstairs as a new release in 1973 for 1 pound 25p & many many more....Mainly for us it was our contact with the scene & the people in the shop new their music, Nigel who was more into his Jazz-Funk then but nowday's appearing @ many a Northern Do

Just seen the price that Eddie Parker's "I'm Gone" is up to on Manship's Auction 4017 UKP.... & it still has 10 day's to go....How Much will this fetch, what is the Average Price ????I bet Eddie Parker :angry: wished he had kept a few :angry: ....

Years ago when we used to go to the Monthly Oldies Allnighters @ Wigan Casino, They annouced that they would be going fortnightly, Great Myself Pete Wickam & a few other who's names I forget drove with us in my Famous MK3 Cortina 200 miles Hemel Hempstead to Wigan, Only to find out the Friday Night Once a Fortnight Oldies Allnighters started the week after, there was a few other people there about another 10....& there was nothing else on in the area that night what a bummer, & to top that we sat @ a set of never changing traffic lights for what seemed like 15 mins....after which we slowly drove through them & there was a Police Car waiting to nick me for driving through a Red Light....I reckon he had it fixed...

Who will be the member 3000 ? & will he or she have the Name Andre, then they can be Andre 3000 ? (Outkast) or has it been given out already? I noticed the new Dutch Northern Soul DJ Moonpirate, who joined yesterday tea time was 2,989....

Jon Buck

Is there a guideline on 'how to become a Northern Soul DJ'? What are the must-haves and what makes a set interesting to others?

I'm trying to get Northern back into a club and need some help, caus I only get one chance and 30 minutes to fill up the floor. If it works out fine, I'll have a good start to spin again, but I must compete with the techno-hardhouse-bullshit-dj's who spin monotonous crap-music

I need the bouncy stuff, that moves yer feet. 

Tips are more than welcome!!

So are you starting from scratch ( at the begining ) & you will from what you've outlined already.... You don't think that your trying to play the Right Music ( Our Music ) to the wrong crowd, or is that what you want to do Educate them. there are quite a few people out here myself included who can say do this or do that, But what any of us say may not be for you. I wish you luck in your Quest.... Follow your heart & do what feels right

Sue said from this moment on you can call yourself any thing you wish, If you want to be The Queen of Wobble's then you shall be....not a bad night last night, I would have thought there would have been at least another 20-30 through the doors, But still a good night & it wasn't a failer....

Hell no Pete, I'm not distputing the Invitations aren't a good soul group, it's the song "Ski-ing in the snow" itself, lyricly it's laughable and always makes me cringe. Cheers Dayo, glad there like-minded folk on here.

Not forgeting as I have mentioned before Russ Winstanley Playing Tina Charles/5000 Volts I'm On Fire @ Wigan in 1975 .....

A couple of years ago  in the Sunday Star there was a CD called something like Lazy Sunday Soul.  It had Frank Wilson, Sliced Tomatoes, Band Of Gold and a few others including the added extra tracks in a similar style that they thow on these discs.  I bought the paper specially for it and it was crap.

Very few of these compliations get it right they alway's seem to stick in Tom Robinson's 2468 Motorway, or something compleatly crap

JB

I wonder if they day will come when one day there will be a Northern Soul CD given away in 1 of the National Newspapers....I mentioned this to someone a couple of months ago don't forget your Daily Mail tomorrow there is a Free Kent Cd inside, they said really, but I couldn't keep a straight face, But as OUR Music is more & more mainstream & is featured is Cat Food & Fried Chicken Commercial's maybe that day is drawing nearer....

Actually Dougie is now trying a new career as a stand up comedian!  true.

p.s. Jon, I've got a couple of tapes of you at a pretty obscure nighter, Herne Bay, 1988 or 89.  I know it's you cos you play Come On Back To Me Baby, Cajun hart and The Vondells 

link

Yes I played them All Acetate's You Know.....

JB

No actually you look more like one of the Brimson's!

I ain't no football hooligan ....

JB

Jon, look out, Phil Mitchell has invaded your avatar 

link

Is that Phil Mitchell I thought it was me 25 years ago....

JB

Jon, Noticed that myself, also noticed that the version of Frank Wilson is a different take\mix to the original Soul 45 version.

link

Funny you should say that I never thought of playing it Just thought it was, What It Was... & it is compleatly different.... Not to bad though that Extra line or 2 that's not in the original like "There's Another Thing I Won't to Tell Ya"....

Jon Buck

Just bought 1 of these tamla motown 45 Anniversary Singles Frank Wilson/Chris Clark Do I Love (Indeed I Do) I noticed the dates on the lable are Chris Clark 1966- Frank Wilson 1979, is that right ? & the word's on Franks version are Different than Chris Clark, Chris's being like the Original Frank Wilson Version....If that makes sense....

Jon Buck

I havent heard this for ages,does anyone know  if there is a sound file anywhere.

Tab.

link

if you look for Keb Darge Live @ Buzzard in the Sound Files.... it is the first sound file I have done it isn't 100% right ie :- a little fast & it contains swearing

Jon Buck

Embarrasingly enough on a Stax subsuidiary label too - Not been played has it?

link

Didn't somebody play Tony Blackburn @ Wigan....

Jon Buck

Now that you mention it. and introduce the concept of "CD's" into the fray -  I have quite a few on RCA, stored amongst the "special things" in the shop.

link

I wondered why TESCO's had so many good Northern Soul CD's for sale, Steve G must be in there advising them what to stock....Cheshunt the home of TESCO's & Steve G....
