It ain't far off base either Pete!x I had 4 tapes with around 100 tunes on made in around '77...and they are all featured in the list above!!x Number 76 is interestiing tho'! I always thought The Tams 'Hey Girl Don't Bother Me' was an underground tune in the 60's and became 'pop' in the 70's?? In 1977...my mate Wayne put both sides on me tape.....and to be honest....i'd considered the B side 'Northern' and the Hey Girl the handbag side...!x played the B in the 90's too and not many knew it even then!!x Tune methinks...and makes me top 501!!!x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXiG1D62k6k @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X EDIT...erm...502......!

Just caught Dr Who from 2006 Xmas edition as I was flippin' channels....and stopped as I heard this 'familiar' track being played at Catherine Tates wedding....or I thouht I knew it...and there is summink fishy if not slippery going on....!x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8IpQbszyUI Probably an old discussion i've missed but can't find anything about it on here......but it definitely sounds like The Snake re-written...!!

Morning!!x I found this tune albeit a bit crackly a while back at a boot sale....but found another mint copy to replace it yesterday on British London...and it sounds as brill as it did to me the first time I heard it years ago!!x A double sider with 'Our Day Will Come'...on the B....which is nice. I think the Moonlight side has 'class' tho'!x SUPER piece of vinyl and worth me first trip to a Boot for a few weeks after consistent wash out week ends!!x £15 in the 2012 RC book.....and purchased on both occasions for £1!

Hearing that Halloween tune and the harmonica.....made me think of these 'obvious instru's....which went back to me bedroom days....!

...whenever i've used others equipment Russ....b'cos of the sound level difference on records...I always have 1 deck turned up a bit more....and put me quiter redorded tunes on there with room for further adjustment! If you do that and remember which deck you've done it with......things should be 'equalised'...!x LUV SOOTY X I learnt that early on when me first DJ set included boot legs which bummed out and went quiet across the room.........hehe!!!x It was only 7pm....nobody there....but I thought the deck had gone down.......and faffed about with stuff and made it all sound worse......!

I do look forward to going tho' and visiting any venue who dare to use the word 'progressive'......!x

..thanx for your reply Greg!x I like to know what a DJ is about and u are as Soulful as any devoted person i've ever met......praise music!!!x I get your drift about the uncovered small issue/rare stuff of this genre...every small alley wayed Church were putting songs to vinyl...and yep...easy to figure the 'market' available for such searching to be going on....and exciting!!x Thanx for the education mate!x LUV SOOTY X

I've never heard much Gospel Greg...in fact i've heard more on here via yourself and such than I ever have!x I like the vibe...!x My favourite 'Gospel' is still Oh Happy Day'....and it still makes me arms tingle when the choir 'give it some at the end'!x Can I ask you a personal question tho'?!x Do you believe in God as well as being passionate about the music? Are the 2 connected as such? Do you play Gospel as you feel it's summink to do with a calling.....or because you like the music anyway?x There are messages in it all....and I listen to the lyrics of all tunes!x I like your style....whatever it is based on!x I have a good friend who gave me a CD with some tunes on that they sing/dance too at Christian Camp week-ends...all uplifting 'soulful' stuff....'modern'...but it's .massive' among his Worldwide congregation he belongs too...they sell millions of copy's and stuff!!

NEEVER KNEW...or remembered what that was called Pete!!!!x Heard it several times at gigs...u know wot it;s like!!!x TUUUUNE!!!x I do have a Sliced Tomato story to go.....! I was at this village disco circa 1977. This lad was chatting up me girl friend....and I was trying to be nice. I asked him what this record was called playing on the deck at the time....he said 'Sliced Tomato'....and walked off. We wos kids....a scuffle broke out after the disco....and I do recall looking for him to give him one for taking the pi**....!!

...another one which I found 'forgotten' in the 90's was one that perhaps got more exposure in the 60's undergound as opposed to the 70's?

...The Champion...Law of the Land-Alfie Kahn...Hawaii 5-0 The Champs....were among the first Soul instrumentals I heard in 1975. Along with Bok to Back...The Spy....and other 'classics'. I considered them 'northern' danceable music!!x I had been used to instrumentals as a kid. Me mam had a Shanana and some Shadows LP's......and as a result I have over 100 45's in me collection from acrooss the board today. It is the music that makes your body move....and a voice...or a trumpet...orpiano....can 'grab' you just the same! How many tracks 'kick off'...before a word is spoken...and folk hit the floor at the 'rallying' call!!! Hopes N Dreams...that mouth organ starts.....job done!! So it's the music first....or just as important...as any voice i've heard...I feel!x LUV SOOTY X The 1 track that has confused me is this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ1Fb4JsRZE ...whenever I played it....'hard core' who danced to the instrumental in the 70's...said the singing din't exist?!x I could never have played the instru without the singing on this one!!...that's if it existed?! It did on my copy!!!x?! EDIT...the first ever instrumental I remember which I identified with as Northern was Green Onions....Booker T. I didn't know it...but remembered hearing it at Grimsby Town during half time when i;d have been 11ish!! I liked it then....and still do all these years later...and perhaps prepared me for Northern instrumentals nicely....!x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQgftmOeK_c
