Hi Rod Great to see you, Mr Withers & respective other halves at The Orwell I think Nick Allen stands a good chance of getting spins around the place now that DT & BM have copies. I think it could also cross over to the Northern scene cos of it's similarity to Bobby Womacks 'So many sides of you' which i agree does have that 'beachy - good time' feel to it! For the record, my copy came from Sam, who sold it me his copy about 7-8 years ago.............after he purchased it from some guy called Rod Shard Cheers Steve

Don't think so Simon? Think there is a rare 12" on Rota of the better known one by Rideout (Someone special) Cheers Steve

Sorry T.I.M.E..............had that 'Love shortage' thing in me head for some reason! Get it played out mate...............so in March that'll be three copies at The Orwell Cheers Steve

That's cos it's a 45 (hee hee) ..............it's by Rideout on Hot Licks called 'Spend some time' Cheers Steve

Wonder where that came from BRILL thread - well done Mr Thorley Plenty of great (and rare) 12"'s mentioned. A rare one that i play out occasionally is 'Nick Allen - We need more time - Tume' gotta be rare cos it took BazM (the original 12" hound) years and years to track it down (now we have two copies to play at the Orwell ) Fantastic record sounding like 'So many sides of you'.........only denied monstrosity cos of it's rarity (imho) Have a spare copy of Village Choir - Sweet hot lips (did someone mention this?), Sam Butler, Jay Player (proper orig) & Sir Prize currently at Plumb Towers (offers on them all though i'm afraid) Will think of some more rarities.................... Cheers Steve ps Agree on that Jesse Mitchell Dave!

You're right, can't have too many floor fillers Cheers Steve

I've already put them on this CD Cheers Steve

I seem to remember 'most' of the find were 'used' in some way! Be good to find out from Tim A the full story? Not played the B side for yonks...........it's either a monster Deep Funk dancer or a brill deep soul cut Will have to dig it out and let you know! Cheers Steve

Hi All Sorry for the delay......... Back from hols and have received the DVD from Ockers (Cheers Sean ) with all your CD's on it. Will be burning and listening to them all in the very near future, as they ALL look well tasty! With the benefit of dvd hindsight, i've been able to produce a CD of LP tracks that aren't on the other CD's and i'm in the process of burning them for you all. They should be in the mail by weekend (fingers crossed!) If anyone is coming to The Orwell this Friday i can bring your copy along? - PLMK Cheers Steve

I got mine from Tim Ashibende about 10 years ago. I think he found a very small quantity at the time. Don't see many about these days? Terrific tune always gets interest when played out! Hope this helps? Cheers Steve

There's also a clip taken from the orig 45 on my site too

sorry that orig scan is a bit yucky! Go here https://www.soulmusic.co.uk/ Third one down click the link for a larger view and it's there in all it's glory Sorry, wasn't meant to be a sales plug just a public service announcement that went wrong Cheers Steve

orig

Some great stuff there! Has anyone mentioned Nate Calhoun's male vesion of 'Jazz Freak' ? Quality and nearly as good as the classic Paulette Reeves orig imho Cheers Steve

Twas young Flanny............sounded well tasty Cheers Steve

Great track Tone Piccie of it can be found here https://www.soulmusic.co.uk/More_In_Stock.htm Cheers Steve

www.soulmusic.co.uk Just a quick note to let you all know that I've been through the whole site today and tweaked quite a few prices! I've also added a couple of new 45's too! All the 45's that have sold this week have also been removed! There's a whole bunch of brilliant stuff up there BUT numbers are limited on many of the 45's so you need to get in quickly or risk missing out!!!! Go on, have a look............you know you want to :-) Cheers Steve Plumb 2nd February 2007

THIS is the Dodger I know and love Nice one mate Steve

Blessed are the cheesemakers

Karamba!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Philly AND a Florida 70's thread going at the same time - me head's going to explode Do like Rumpus - more of a disco/soul dancer and not a lot of rock in there imho! Ockers'll be along in a minute cos his avatar is Rumpus Right, 70's Detroit........................only joking - got enough on our plates at the mo' Cheers Steve

You are the original 'Fine Filly Stepper'

Nice one Dodge...............purchased as part of the deal that saw Troy Johnson go from the Wirrall to Lancs (or was that another deal?) Anyway it was done on the last day of the transfer window and i think an Opus 9 had to be thrown in at the last minute as a sweetener to make the deal work Cheers Steve

wahay - get back to them shelves matey don't think Philly, don't think monster and you'll be reet in fact, you might wanna play it on Saturday afternoon at Yarmouth, just after the footie results or maybe not! Cheers Steve

Nice one Sean - one i completely agree with too! Apart from (imho) maybe the fact Richard Searling should be creditted along with Rod Dearlove for pioneering the genre at the same time on opposite sides of the pennines Here's a potted version from me, that i did for a mag a while ago, prompted as you can see from an earlier Soul Source thread................. Staying on the theme of reviewing danceable 70's US 45's, I thought I'd concentrate on pure CROSSOVER tunes this issue. Prompted by a recent discussion on the Soul-Source web site forum of what Crossover Soul actually is, here are 5 sides that I personally consider to be in that genre i.e. that wonderful period between 1968 to 1972 when 60's Soul was evolving into smoother 70's Soul. 60's Soul blended with sophisticated 70's production techniques, making for thousands of unique Soul recordings that are now played and collected across the whole of the Rare Soul Scene. I don't want to dwell on what is or what isn't Crossover, suffice to say that the term came about in the late 80's when venues like Thorne (Rod Dearlove) & Parkers (Richard Searling) were pioneering this strange new sound that had emanated from the traditional 70's Modern Rooms & Weekenders and the classier end of the Northern scene. Today the term tends to relate to anything from the 70's but I'm not going to get hung up over that I just wanted to point out the actual origins of the genre itself! So you can add that into the mix aswell..........until we discuss it again in a few months Cheers Steve
