Sceneman

a strange story is Lotsa, a brief appearance here and there but never seemed to hit it big

just brian mathews (sounds of the 60s ) at the weekend now after Jazz FM buggered off

its been like it for a few years now i put some rare Sues on and no interest shown unless theyre very cheap . a dealer i know has given up selling soul as he says he cant shift them and sticks to jazz and beat .

bubblegum pop from the late 70s ,only ever heard it on pop radio like capitol played by tony blackburn

for me its gotta be Jimmy Mack bw Third finnga left hand , thats a bargain issue for 6 shillings and 3 pence or was it 6 shillings and 9 pence ?

at least we know glue wont stick to vinyl for sure

its still muffin at the top of the stairs thats available

back then it was about the quality of the sounds and the DJ was anonymous , now its about a DJs big ego in trying to outdo all the other jocks with ever more obscure and very expensive vynil in order to make a name for himself. quite a few but not all the obscure stuff is not a patch on the classics so the punters are being served a poor diet

jimmy mac or walk away rene they get played a lot already so its a foregone conclusion imo

at that period soul was in the doldrums so few copies of this single were sold hence the big price .not many are around

see paul andersons new book ,MODs a new religion for info

including myself ,i was interviewed by smiler

theyre big in France for old 78s jukeboxs so a dealer tells me

paul andersons book is out at last ,the content is >>> Mod may have been born in the ballrooms and nightclubs around London but it soon rampaged throughout the country. Young kids soon found a passion for sharp clothes, music and dancing, but for some it was pills, thrills and violence. The original Mod generation tell it exactly how it was, in their very own words. First hand accounts of the times from the people who were actually on the scene. Top faces, scooterboys, DJs, promoters and musicians build up a vivid, exciting snapshot of what it was really like to be with the in-crowd. Packed with rare pictures, ephemera, art and graphics of the era. Featuring interviews with Eddie Floyd, Martha Reeves, Ian McLagan, Chris Farlowe and many more.

i think Jimmy Mac will win it by a mile though

Just walk away renee for me

3rd finga left hand for my vote ,its corny i know but a Birds Nest favorite play.

look at the output on Chess/Cadet for much longer than Motown ...no competition for them alone

i was sure it was patti labelle but never been sure .

b side

well what a label ,sure is many gems and artists in their stable ,did they ever make a bad one ? i doubt it . a great double sider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQFnM6yhdVc

dont forget 'come and get these memories' what a production . mine is on Oriole label
