Lenny Harkins wife Geraldine is a great dancer.

Sorry to go off thread but Joan what was that 70`s thing you played on Saturday night I think you said it was the Expulsions,could be wrong.Uptempo thing.Was great to see you again,you and Lenny were ace!!!!!! If it`s any help ma brains pretty scrambled too. best Andy.

Okay,a couple of Temptations tracks that always do the trick- " Angel Doll " and " Forever In My Heart " Also that one that Butch used to play Diane Lewis " I Aint Got A Chance "

Hard one this as there are so many real classy ones past and present.But I always come back to Maxine Browns " It`s Torture ". Perfect northern cut.

Chuck Jackson without a doubt,seen him at Gt Yarmouth.Played every northern track you can think of. Closely followed by Jr Walker at the Playhouse Theatre in Edinburgh about 15 years back,He walked on stage with no backing band,walked straight up to the mic.Saxaphone in hand and ordered the words " "JUNIORS BAD,cause I`m a road runner " It`ll stay with me till I drop and there were only about 40 of us in the audience.AWESOME!!!!!

Had this for a many moons,any info price wise etc.Was regarded as a real tuffy years ago. Any help would be appreciated soulies. Dennison

When Always" loved let me be your boy" Verve

What a track Gasher,I think this is one of them that`ll stand the test of time.Worth buy`n and will stay at a level,price wise.Quality! Dennison.

Thanks Chalky,any idea whats the rarer of the two?

Both versions are stunners Col,just a bit more going on in the other version.Always gets me going whatever one is played.Perhaps some kind soul would put a sound clip up and you could listen to the difference.It would be nice to know if the matrix numbers were different with the 2 versions.Definately 2 different recordings.

I know there are 2 versions of this both by Gerri Hall.I`ve just listened to the one thats just been on soul source,the one without the girl backing.It seemed to me to be a fraction slower.Is it just my ears or can anybody enlighten me with some info.Me personally I prefer the version with the girly backing.Also are the issue numbers any different. The girly backing version issue number is 905,with 174-1719 matrix no in the run out groove. Any clues sourcers Andy

I`m sure this thread has been done but I canny find it and it had me in kinks of laughter last time and would love to hear a few more of those inspired words of wisdom that our record spinners say.The last time this was up for topic one sourcer listed 5 or 6 things that have been said and what they actually mean.One was ---" And as requested " ( with or without fake name ). Real meaning ----I`ve been dying to play this for ages and even if it doesn`t go down well don`t really matter cause I`m such a kind hearted soul I`ve played it for you.So it`s your fault nobody likes it------Absolutely had me in stitches,cause I`ve said that on the odd occasion.So come on soulies I`d love to hear whether it`s your own wisdom or somebodys elses,remember it`s not a witch hunt just a bit of a laugh. best Andy

Still think Big Daddy Rodgers is hard to beat " Gonna take you to the wood shed and drop a couple of planks on you "

Ah Joan your taste has never slipped,gonna have a practice of a couple of the old moves for your spot when you come up.At the mo I need to hold onto a chair or a table for anything more than small toe tap and as for ma waistline well there`s nae tatties fell off ma plate for a few years. Cracking stuff soulies keep em comming

Superb choice Mark,real good tracks you guy`s n gals are picking.Would make an excellent spot if they all got played togeather.

Perfect! and thanks for the info on live clips

C`mon Joan you know you can do it,you`ve made a real quality choice anyway,your aloud to take your wee dog as well seeing as it`s you petal.Canny wait to catch up when ya come up for Bumpin` and Stompin.Lookin forward to hear you play and if you coul play me a request that would be ace.I`m sure you`ve got a copy of Kelly And The Soul Explosions on Dynamite.If you could fit it in I`d be well chuffed.

Pete and Sister Dawn thankyou so much for those wonderfull sound clips.I was never at the Casino I started goin to allnighters about a year after it closed and haven`t heard many taped nights from the Casino.It made me go week at the knees listening to the punters.WONDERFULL.,sort of puts things into context Northern Soul wise.

Just had a listen,oh yea.

Dont know that one mate have you got a sound clip of it.

Your spot on Mark there are loads but your only allowed 1 mate

Great tunes lads ,if Jock O`Connor is tuned in would love to hear his choice or Joan`s choice.These 2 mates gave me so much inspiration right from the word go.

My only grumble is that " Helpless Baby " is too short could have done with another verse.

My Chapter 5 has " John Brown " written on it
