2 Excellent Northern tunes up for grabs. Shipping from Denmark is £3 to UK/EU, £6 elsewhere Silky Hargraves - Hurt By Love / Go On Girl (D-Town) EX £40 Excellent double-sider thats hard to turn up in such good shape. Labels a little grubby around the edges but could clean up to be a show piece... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmXrE635X4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZryjH9M9yM Chuck Carter - I Can't Help Myself / Pretty Little Brown Skin Girl (Brunswick) VG £15 Worn label and lots of light marks on the vinyl, plays ace. Killer uptempo northern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POBnSuose7g

Oh wait, nevermind, I guess they're doing it on Tuesdays now too

Makeout Room is Sundays for Lost & Found: Slow Jams (Excellent deep/sweet/lowrider oldies night done by two of the cats from the podcast above, Primo & Paul-Paul)

Hey Paul, I was a bit surprised too by Sweater Funk being not even being mentioned. Those guys really are something special in a city so full of already great DJs, that I still dearly miss living in. I guess since the podcast's focus was more on the straight up Northern Oldies side of things they didn't feel that Sweater Funk's boogie/modern/2 step kind of sounds need be included, perhaps not to confuse people further who might not have any clue what Northern Soul is all about (trust me, there's more than a handful stateside). For those that haven't had the pleasure of visiting SF before, just know that that podcast and those DJs are just the tip of iceberg!

Sounds like they're alternate takes/mixes on the same tune, for sure. One has backing vocals while the other is missing them, but the lead is definitely the same singer on both tracks.

"Ordinary Joe" is one of the best tunes ever set to wax. Never tire of hearing it. Here's my vote for a tune with a very similar feel, wonderful LP-only Jerry Butler "Stop Steppin' On My Dreams" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCveGQYXIG8

Sorted, thanks all who posted

anyone?

Thanks for the info Rob. Here's a link so you can hear the LT Davis recording on Sonic Wax: https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/70s-80s-and-crossover/1403/love-recipe/#product

VG+ or better, thanks!

Seen now that Numero has issued a 45 of Calvin Harris "Love Recipe". Sonic Wax also did a one-sided 45 release of this tune under the name LT Davis. In listening to samples of both I can't really tell much of a difference, is there one?

Including this one. Its a brilliant dance number with distinctive weirdness, and a memorable spin for DJs with cajones. Love hearing that beast of a tune out / wish I did more.

Yet another post that should be over in the "look at your box" section...

Thought I'd share this here for anyone interested in hearing about what goes down on San Francisco's Northern and Rare soul scene. Proud of my mates back home for continuing to deliver the goods! Great hour-long podcast full of interviews with SF's top jocks and lots of great rare tunes. Enjoy. https://kalw.org/post/san-franciscos-own-brand-northern-soul-hour-long-special

Overjoyed to have one of these gorgeous beasts being hand-delivered to me from California on Monday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxqPhoLETqo
