hi mark, i remember them in echoes ! still got a copy of it somewhere mate

arnold mcculler-freeway to monterey-avi was never really into the modern stuff at stafford but really liked this tune, anybody got a soundclip of this to put up please ? havent heard it in over 20 years

thanks for the info mate, cheaper than it sounds to me !

just heard it, nice tune, so what does this go for please ?

thats double great news dave ! to be honest i was a bit wary of starting this thread in case u told me to fook off cos u would be too busy etc, but im glad i did now,a lot of people on here have said how influential stafford was in the history of our scene and i certainly agree with such a statement,bout time as many details as possible are documented about stafford and that era of rare soul music,im sure u will convert the barn when time allows, books before barns i say ! cant wait to read the book, cheers dave

oh, and if you ever do write a book bout stafford dave can u credit me on the inside cover for starting this thread off in the first place please ? !just a joke mate

thanks for the reply dave, i think loads of people have bought books about wigan etc but never went, i also think because of the small numbers it has a feeling of mystery about it, lots of recent converts to the scene love to read of its history, ive read books on wigan but never went, also u made a good point about the social aspects of the country at the time, thatcher etc, i would deffo buy a book about stafford top of the world

because i loved it mate and wuold be interested to know more of the ins and outs, the organising in the early days etc, nothin more nothin less ! same reason as people read books about anything under the sun, didnt mean to start something, was just an innocent post

cos i cant spell very good ken !

too true ian, theres got to be enough info on stafford to easily fill a book, what about the charactors, the record finds, the relationship between the 60s mafia, the record hounds who fed the djs etc ? the list could be endless

seems to me that there are many books written about the scene and its venues, especially memoirs of great venues that are no longer with us so my question to mr thorley is this.... would you ever consider writing a book about one of, if not the best,nighters of all time, STAFFORD top of the world ?

bought this from a sales box at stafford, put it in me bag and some bint sat on it, snapped it in half !

margie joseph-one more chance-volt aretha franklin-i cant ever see myself leaving you-atlantic

absolutely spot on mate !

waiting for occasions-theres no you-big jim jimmy hughes-im so glad-volt dj eddie purell-the spoiler-volt four shells-reputation-volt charmers-natural self-stuyvesant nelson sanders-its real-soul king R heard most of them on here for the first time, dont ya just love soul source !

well said ken, im sick of reading the blokes name on here !

thats brilliant mate, worded perfectly, stafford broke the mould and made me realise what true soul sounded like, room full of tears is one of the greatest soul records ever in my opinion, nice one mate

thanks for posting that up, really enjoyed that, i wonder who that guy is

cheers chalky,what am i gonna do is one of my fave tunes, beautiful tune in my opinion

isnt the flip of this what am i gonna do ? fookin brill, i bought it for the what side, wasnt there 2 diff releases, 2 diff B sides, im probably wrong though !

very good mate

a friend wants to know how to tell original 7 dwarfs from a boot,he has 2 boots (?) yellow and darker yellow/close to orange colour and both have identical info scratched in run out, yellow weight is 40 grams, orange weight is 34 grams, anyone have scans of orig and boot ? cheers jason

i dont know the guy personally but i wish him a speedy recovery
