Does anyone have a good MP3 of Smoke - So Glad from their J Bridge LP Risin' ? Cheers, John

This is a really hard thing to complete and I have cheated a bit, so here goes. Bettye Swan - Make Me Yours - Money In my opinion, this is the greatest soul record ever, and one that I have never got tired of and cheap too. Northern/60's Luther Ingram - It's all the Same to you Babe - HIB If this record has never got you up on the floor or your foot tapping, you're dead. Frank Beverley and the Butlers - If That's What You Wanted - Gamble This is more than just an over played classic. When the horns come in, they grab you and lead you on a Northern soul roller coaster ride. Natural 4 - I thought you were mine - ABC/Boola Boola I can't split them up. Every time I think, one just comes out on top, I play the other and my mind changes once again. Tony Middleton - To the Ends of the Earth - MGM This seems to be a love it or don't rate it record. The drums and organ just hook me and reel me in. Walter Jackson - My Ship is coming in - Okeh This still sends chills down my spine. Modern Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP - Roulette I used to hope Ian Clark would play this, and it always brought out a great big smile. The best disco/soul dancer ever. Carol Anderson - I'll Get Off At the Next Stop - Fee This is the other side of Sad Girl. Bob Jones used to play this on his show on Horizon Radio. I First heard it in a three in a row including Phil Flowers - Stay a Awhile - ICI (If any one has a spare, please give me a mail). Boy was I excited, when SoulBowl said "Yep £3.50". It was a couple of years later that I actually flipped it over. One of the most anticipated records I have ever bought. If you haven't flipped it over yet, please do and turn the lights down low. Mathilda Jones - Part of the Game - Future Stars I don't think this label released a bad record? Clarence hits the spot once again. Garland Green - Don't Let Love Walk out on us - RCA It could have been any of his records from any era; this one just holds so many memories of the London Soul scene in the late 80's (Maybe through rose tinted glasses?). Sam Dees - Can you be a one man woman - Chess A complete monster ballad which sadly seems to always be overlooked compared to his other work.

Yes, I was at the Norfolk, with Pat, Dick, Brad and the others. It's been about 10 years since I last collected and I am quite shocked at the price increase of "in demanders". I have only just dusted off my tunes and I am going digital. Dick looked after them for over a year, as I didn't have anywhere to store them due to my increasing family. It's not that often that my old pals meet up and when we did we were discussing finding a good soul night in London (can't travel any more, as my children are always up by about 6am).

I have collected for a few years, but have never been able to find someone to help me with this query. I have an issue copy of Chuck Ray - Reconsider/I'll Be There on Gemigo, but the tune on the "Reconsider" side is not what the title suggests. I think it's Chuck Ray, but the song has a chorus of "Wishing well". I think it's a cracking up-tempo southern dancer. A tape of this track did the rounds a few years ago to try and confirm what it is, but to no avail. I was amazed to see it on the SoulGirl site before it closed. I would love for someone to shed some light on this for me. I have attached an mp3 of this to see if it jogs anybodys memory Regards, John ChuckRay_WishingWell.mp3
