exactly what i meant Malc....best to ask around on this type of site see if anyone knows the record, do a search, google etc see if anything comes up etc. So tempting to buy that 'unknown' tune in search of the next biggie mate

Yep, got it now, thanks Karen/Dave. But couldnt get the other day on home or work pc Grant

The worst description is Northern Soul - when the record clearly isn't Northern Soul, if you know what I mean. Mainly Yank sellers who havent a clue but also get some Brit ones too.

Anyone know whats happened to this site as cant get access onto - been like this for a week or so. You can however get onto soulclub jukebox? Grant

yeah some pretty awful stuff on Shrine Dvae but also 2 of my all time faves :- Eddie Daye & Four Bars - Guess Who Loves You Cautions - No Other Way both pure class

& SHRINE

so would i - also would throw in maybe:- Bobby Hebb - Love Love Love Solomon King - Cry To Me Greg Perry - It Takes Heart (did a non-soul wedding once played this, packed the floor and had all the punters asking for it and if it was in the charts!) Jackie Wilson/Erma Franklin - Sweetest Feeling and then when you cant get them out the venue, bang on Dave Mitchell 'The Trip' ....sure to get rid off them

MGM & RCA as per Mark above, some great stuff on there, many dancers of course. Also Epic, UA, Phillips, oh and er Grapevine & Kent (for a lot of unreleased stuff) not forgettin' ABC/ABC Paramount

Nah dont associate Born A Loser with Wigan Tone, when was it palyed there as I stopped going mid 79 until early 81 - cant remember it being played beffore that mid 77 up to mid 79, or 81 onwards. First heard the tune around 86-ish I suppose GRANT

What! somebody else doesn't rate Bobby Kline? Awful, dross, dancer-unfriendly kak Steve. On a par with Mr Soul and Bobby f******n Sheen!!

Mmmm....a few 'big named' djs have djed here in stockport and didnt play anything that probably any of the local djs didnt have - e.g. Carstairs, Majestics, Contours, Bobby Paris etc etc

Nah - thats 90mph Bazza - timed it hello salmon

Baz has hit on what I was saying Chalky - not saying it makes a good or bad dj, but the internet has made a lot of records easier to track down via ebay, gemm, even people selling privately on this website. As with Baz a lot of my stuff came via these routes - give up djing now but - hopefully it didnt make me a bad dj - remember an great dj could go down like a lead balloon if he doesntr play what the masses want to hear in a certain venue. I know a certain dj who plays nothin but boots and usually all floorfillers but to a crowd who think he's the bees knees coz he plays all that stuff they know - try and offer them something different (like i used to) and they just sit on their arses and almost refuse to like change

each era had its good and bad dj's - much easier to be a dj these days as more opportunities around probably and records easier to come by via the internet etc.

never too old bazza we need more like 'She's Fire' ; 'Do It' , Harry Betts; Steve Karmen; Mello Souls; Cory Cornell; Lesley Garrett and so on...

Agree totally with Pete on this one - never get tired of that one..... p.s. Pete, but I also think JC Messina is fantastic (from a dancer's point of view)

Got to confess to loving 'Lady In Green' here's five though that should be confined to being turned into ashtrays:- 1. Bill Bush - I'm Waiting 2. Johnny Taylor - Blues In The Night (WHAT AN AWFUL INTRO) 3. Mr Soul - What Happened To Yesterday 4. Joe Valentine - I Lost The Only Love I Ever Had (petty he didnt los his friggin' voice at the same time) 5. Bob Relf - Blowin' My Mind To Pieces ........could go on an on really

Love this track all the way thru Pete. Here's one though, may surprise a few.. Mel Williams - Can It Be Me - starts of great for about 10 secs then downhill all the way

Kin ell never heaqrd of any of these!!

Agree with Pul here Mike, keeps us all in touch as we cant all be globetrotting around the UK to soul nites to keep up with everything. And it keeps me occuppied when the girls of the house are watching shite on tv! Made lots of friends thru this site - many of which i havent yet met but hope to meet them all in the future . Been helped out loads of times thru this site - in search of records, mp3s, valuations etc etc. Keep going Mike - you and the rest of the team are doing a great job, f**k the knockers whoever you are.

cant see me propping the matchsticks in the eyes to stay up for this one

'I'm On My Way' may have been apt, or even Dusty's 'Silly Silly Fool'

Great dancer IMO, need more uptempo stuff these days ....Wakefiled Sun Pete...sorry love it mate
