Soul Shrews

G'day Sunnysoul, I can remember Dave Evison playing Valentino at Wigan Saterday nights 79/80. Also remember Dave Godin raving about it in B&S seem to think he claimed it was the first gay record.Think that acolade must go to South Shore Commision "Free Man" myself, tho" must admit didn"t know it at the time. Always danced to Valentino, got a nice US 45 with the lyrics printed on the (red) sleeve, cheers Ken, great record I reckon. Cheers Paul

..

The 8th avenue band was the backing track for an TV advert for indegestion tablets. Third Point brilliant! Cheers Paul

Don't think "Paris Blues" counts mate, sorry. Nobody mentioned Judy Freeman "Hold on" yet?

Hi Martin, are the Passion and Unlimited Touch on Prelude? Which label is Jeree Palmer? Cheers Paul

My favourite Elvis "tunes" are the quiet bits between the songs on all his LP's

Er, maybe the Skullsnaps LP, worth more than "My Hang Up Is You'' 45? Cheers Paul

Heres a few more good track with Bert involved : Charisma Band on Buddah Aint nothing like', Linda Hopkins In your blood

Mr Biggs, what the hell is goin'on? Cheers Paco

a disco site[ ] i go to has members posting links to utube rather like soul-source members are doing here and soul train owners are pulling them off faster than they are going on, no we wont release them and you cant even see em

I am still looking for the 5 disk dvd set of soul train seen now and again on a well known auction site , so anyone fancy a swap ? LMK , thanks

With you on this one KevinJ, each to his own 'n' all that but......yuk!

Sorry Pete, am actually on self enforced vinyl stavation regime at the mo' what with a US trip comin' up, thats why I've not been scouring record lists lately. My previous post was then somewhat flippant. BTW 'ow much was it? And er 'ave you still got it? Cheers Paul

Beverly Glen was owned by Otis Smith (no, not that one!) Anita Baker famously credited one of her songs on the ''Rapture" LP to her memories of him, it was called "Watch Your Step" Cheers Paul

Nice call Petebanger!!! I always thought Beverly Glen LPs were the buisness!!! Remember talking to Terry Jones once, in the Spread Eagle Shoredich circa Christmas 87, and saying "Don't forget Terry Beverly Glenn comes but once a year"! Cheers Paco

Thanks Ken

Believe theres a US porn star called Jerry Butler too, so watch out!!! Chers Paco

Nice one Tabs some classic soul tunes/artists on there! I've always wondered why nobodys released the "SoulTrain" series on DVD before? Maybe something to do with royalties or summat? I hope its not a case of Parkway records all over again (where the owner just didn't want to re-release anything) Anyway thanks very much for the CDR Tabs, the "Soul Philanthropist" Cheers Paul 'n' Mandy

Think thats quite an old photo tho' Sean, she may have changed a bit since , I know I have! Cheers Paul Woosnam

Only too well mate, a Saterday nighter after a Friday oldies. Back from Wigan 11ish straight to the pub 'till closing at 3, back home for a wash 'n' brush up then back in the pub for opening time. No room in Pips car at closing time so of course its off to the A49 with our thumbs out. We were definately still "in the mood" Cheers Paco

Thats OK we'll blame Simon then!

By hook or by crook!!! We traveled from Shrewsbury, by any means we could, sometimes in luxury of a rover car ,sometimes on an organised coach, sometimes on the train and run the gauntlet when you arrived in Wigan. The train was always a pain 'cos in those days coming back on Sunday you'd have to wait 2 hours in Crewe or Wolverhampton for your connection. Travelled to Yate once with 23 of us in a 14 seater mini bus, needless to say the thing broke down halfway home the next day. Looking forward to the 4 hour train journey to the next Frankfurt tho' Cheers Paul
