Ditto on that Mark...hairs on the back of the neck stuff...was worth travelling to Stafford just to hear Keb play that one tune...then again Dave playing Pyramid had the same effect on me first time I heard it at Stafford too! P.S. anyone got a Freddie Houston for sale that's not a Belgian popcorn pressing...always a bit scared to buy one off evilbay just in case!

Sandy & The Pebbles He's My Kind Of Fellow on mercury ..another fav cheapie that has never made it in the box up to now! Jonzy

Filling in some "cheaper" Stafford gaps in the collection and would like a copy of this cheapie if you got one! Jonzy

Looking to be in Melbourne again next year......if I've got any cash for a flight!...was it really 4 years ago ...jeez!

Got it on VHS myself somewhere...recorded at the time of transmission. Like many things I must get round to putting on to DVD...will get around to it eventually!

I think the Bard would have approved of Northern Soul...it's usually those tunes with poetic thought provoking lyrics that get me up dancing, singing along as I do. Rita and The Tiaras is another that comes to mind.

Got that aswell somewhere, which I actually bought for Hurt at the time in the 80's, thought the white one was first but I stand corrected!

Is this the future when we are all too old to go to soul nights? "Fancy popping round to my house to hear some quality tunes?....home help and meals on wheels will sort us put in the morning!"

Found it myself! originals - suspicion - So where can I find this version? (what bootleg I assume?) never thought i'd be asking for a bootleg lol The version we usually here is this originals - suspicion -

Yep these were the first speeded up bootlegs as I remember, bought my scanned copy at Leicester Oddfellows allnighter when it was still a big play in the 80's for Rev Tony Clayton etc Here's the scan of my mine! OK the speeded up version we all hear (as per my scan)...which version is it speeded up from?... as the "normal" Original's version we all hear ain't this one speeded up. I'm sure I saw a post saying there are 4 or 5 versions of Suspicion....can someone post up the normal speed version of the speeded up version please? Bloody hell that was a tongue twister when you've had a few Friday night beers!

You are welcome Chris...enjoyed it mate especially the last half hour that I managed to listen to eventually! Mark

I think you are right, did a search myself and nothing found. Maybe make one yourself, but might seem a bit mean if a birthday present! Got a few of his Northern cuts on vinyl (and mp3) "infatuation" and "what have I got now" being my fav's but not really enough to fill a CD.

Just as an aside are there a few Jades? I gather this ain't the same band that did Lucky fellow, where it's at, hotter than fire etc etc If so how many bands were called the Jades?

looks like I'll have to listen the last half hour again mms://media.thisisthecat.com/TheCatOnDemand/Wednesday/17.wsx mms://media.thisisthecat.com/TheCatOnDemand/Wednesday/18.wsx Just copy and paste into your browser. Even listen again seems to buffer using winamp but OK using mediaplayer!

Keeps buffering last 20 mins...like listening to Norman Collier anyone else got same problem?

Aplogies for the late replies guys. I'm sorted with both now thanks. Mark

Dream Team - There He is (Gregory) Royal Esquires - Ain't Gonna Run (HSI) soul source prices please! Imagine if I'd have posted this 10 years ago!

Same for me in 82....never knew them at the time...so exciting back then when all sounds were new at Leicester Oddfellows to my ears! Funnily enough I've just booked Nov 2011 off work so I can attend the Australian Nationals in Melbourne (where I happen to have relatives too) I went to last nationals in Melbourne in 2006 and it was so great to see a young crowd hearing the music for the first time! Oz is like UK 30 years ago...bloody love it!

Topping up my Stafford TOTW collection. Sensible prices please!

beautiful record for sure...late friend Steve Plimmer introduced me to in in the 80's,,,,class pure class

hee hee...remember Keb saying this at TOTW Dave ...part of Keb's enivitable charm.....and we did dance....wouldn't argue with Keb!

I've been accused of having an addiction...."why are you buying records that you just put in a box?" They may have a point but I explain it's a passion as well as a hobby...but they still go away expecting me to download the mp3 off itunes instead. Anyway I digress...I reckon I'm quite conservative (deffo not politically!) and only have about one to one point five records arriving "to put in the box" per week. Some top drawer expensive (600 quid my limit)... others not at all.....yes I do spend too much of my income on vinyl when I should be sorting my house out but what the hell I'm a bloke with a 28 year old soul passion! So are you spending too much of your income on vinyl (or styrene for that matter) too? Surely the new 3 piece suite can wait can't it?....so am I addicted? P.S....can you tell I'm single lol

What do we know about Elbie? I don't even know if he's black or white!

Please keep away just has to be my fav Veep track of all time...in fact it may be my fav track of all time but always hard to quantify that as so many favs Not only that it's my avatar too! Elbie Parker - Please Keep Away From Me -

Most of you already probably seen this but I hadn't....nice live cover!....pretty true to the original. Thought I'd share!
