  1. and end up in the East Riding of Yorkshire in the Land of Nod
  2. I tend not to listen to dedicated stations, regularly listen to the already mentioned Dean Anderson, the guests are always great with many interesting insights into how they came about the records they play, often good stories regarding artists etc, Derek Pearson on BCB radio always puts on a good show highly recommended but maybe not what you're looking for regarding 70's and Philly.
  3. Love that one ,great tune
  4. I personally think that's true of an awful lot of rare records, when I look at Manship's auctions and check out some of the tunes that go beyond £500 that I don't know I'm rarely impressed.
  5. Ginger is one of the dj's I was talking about, he has played it each time he's Dj'ed at an event I go to and virtually no one danced, what fills the floor at one place isn't guaranteed to do it elsewhere, it was played last night at the Carlton Club, one person danced.
  6. I was just warned not to post something similar by she who must be listened to
  7. I guess it depends on the type of event you attend, the ones I go to don't always reflect my current tastes but from what I see anything that has been played to death for the last forty years still fills the floor even as was the case recently at an event I was at it gets played twice in a night, same people dancing to a record they danced to an hour ago, I've heard Papa Bear and the Cubs played a few times recently with sadly no reaction on the dancefloor but kudos to the Dj's concerned for plugging away and trying.
  8. My five from last night, bit of a mixed bag, ears are ringing this morning, someone pumped up the volume 1 My Back Scratcher Frank Frost 2 Open the Door Gloria Lynne 3 Your Song Laura Lee 4 Evil Ways Johnny Mathis 5 Open Up Your Heart Ishola Mohammed
  9. Nice track, new to me, nice list
  10. Some good tunes hidden on those cheap MFP and Starline albums, my mate doing his weekly Charity shop search looking through the usual fare of Klaus Wunderlich, Jim Reeves etc turned up a Sammy Davis Jr album he was just about to discard it when he noticed one of the tracks was Being Natural.
  11. Another I've had for as long as I can remember and one that was left in the airing cupboard dusty and unloved until recently, changing tastes and all that quite like it now .
  12. Dug this out yesterday, nice clip too
  13. Cheers Martyn just bought one
  14. . I've been trying to catch this moment for ages but by the time I get the camera out and get outside the moment has gone, Windmill on moor opposite my house, it's great when it's misty and they disappear altogether, I have a love hate relationship with them, when they put them up they assured us we would not see any, this was the first one they put up. Suddenly found myself one night at sunset taking pictures of the bloody things s the sun on the opposite side of the valley setting gave them a pink hue, never really managed to catch that colour either...
  15. Sunrise opposite my house, any tips Martyn, is it the same rule you mentioned for sunsets I've taken quite a few but they always end up quite dark like this one
  16. Snap to that, no pun intended,
  17. I would not have known but I'll go by the Yanks answer on the thread which seems to indicate no.
  18. I think I could have filled the ten with just Teddy ,so many class songs to his credit.
  19. Yes but it's a great 11
  20. Teddy Pendergrass I just Called to Say I Love You Jean Carn Was That All It Was Silk I Can't Stop Turning You On Harold Melvin Love I Lost Trammps Trusting Heart Teddy P Nine Times Out Of Ten Teddy P Love TKO Jones Girls Nights Over Egypt Teddy P You're My Latest My Greatest Inspiration O'Jays Ship Ahoy As with all these things ask me tomorrow........
  21. it was released on PIR also ,B side of I Wanna Know Your Name.
  22. always loved I Don't Know Why I Love You
  23. just set up a deck and dug out the boxes from under the stairs, must have had this over thirty years can't recall ever playing it
  24. Twoshoes posted a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    One of the resident Dj's set at Pershore last year, don't know his name, early doors he said he was going to play some underplayed stuff, no more than a couple of people danced but he stuck to his guns, played some fantastic tunes ,me and my mate still mention it now, as I said to the Dj after his set, made the trip down from North of Manchester worth the effort even if the rest of the night turned out to be crap which it wasn't. As for what makes a great set, I like to hear a fair few I've never heard, a few I know from YouTube but have never heard played out, two or three beat ballads unknown to me if possible, a couple that it's been that long since I heard them played out they come as a surprise and in between I quite like it when a Dj throws in a common as muck record that's at odds with everything else he or she has played, trying to think of an example ,it's happened a couple of times but I can't recall the tunes but I do remember turning to whoever I was with saying never thought I'd hear that at a Northern night.
