Its your turn for the early spot, the room is cold, there are 10 people in what do you play? Do you play your best tunes or lesser known things to see how they sound? I have stuck a compilation on before now and gone and talked to mates, your thoughts please. BH

In Leeds we have Northern Street and Detroit Avenue. Is there an address called "Garland Green" anywhere in the UK? Any other soulfull streets?

Jackie Ross also did an excellent version on Fountain BH

Does anyone actually prefer any of the myriad cover versions of "What does it take (to win your love)" than the original and definitive (imo) version by Jnr Walker? Same goes with Gayle Adams version of "Baby I need your loving" over the Four Tops. Do you have any examples of inferior cover versions? BH :angry:

Sorry. No and Yes BH

Me too, thats why I posted it. Guess its an attempt at justifying cover ups. BH

Just bought Richard Searlings new compilation cd "Music that matters to me" and in the liner notes Richard says when talking about (track 4) Fire by Crosswind "This exclusive was my 80s cover up, artist renamed as Patrick Moten! Such was the intensity of rivalry between both Djs and record importers at the time that re-titling became a necessity to aviod copyists and parasitical ploys by those who wished to feed freely off the hard work and creativity of others" So there you have it from the man himself BH
