B MCNAIR - IT WAS NEVER LIKE THIS B WRIGHT - OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR HEART INSPIRATIONS - YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND

AGREE WITH MISCHIEF ABOUT BOOTS SOUNDING BAD, WELL ALOT OF THEM ANYWAY. DJING A FEW WEEKS AGO GOT ASKED FOR L RANDELL 'STRANGER..' COULDNT FIND IT IN MY BOX SO ANOTHER DJ OFFERED ME HIS TO PLAY FOR THE REQUEST - IT WAS ON THE COLUMBIA SP LABEL I THINK AND WASNT A PATCH ON THE CBS COPY OF MINE. ANYWAY IT IS TRUE THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF CHEAPIES/REASONABLY PRICED STUFF OUT THERE ON ORIGINALS TO BUY. SOME GREAT CHEAPISH STUFF ON VERVE FOR EXAMPLE - SOMETHING ABOUT THAT LABEL THAT NEARLY EVERY RECORD I HAVE ON VERVE SOUNDS BRILLIANT EVEN AT THE HIGHEST OF VOLUMES. WELL DONE VERVE!! (SUSAN RAFEY 'HURT SO BAD' SOUNDS AWESOME).

Nightwatch -Lips To Your Heart - bit out of step now but did have its day in the 70's (prob around '78) when it was c/up as The Ellingtons - Its A Long Long Way

now why cant i find stuff like that in a old dj collection!!!!!

'ike' guest above - question - what if it was the first record played on the nite ? LOL

if it doesnt exist who the hell is singing on that 45 that came out on soul king or whatever? great flip-side too!!

PROBABLY ONE OF THESE : MIRACLES - IF YOUR MOTHER ONLY KNEW TAMMI TERRELL - LONE,LONELY TOWN ISLEYS - WHY WHEN LOVE IS GONE Grant

JERRY G & CO - SHE'S GONE

peter yeah i give it an airing every now and again mate! grant some more here :- PRINCE & PRINCESS - STICK TOGETHER RICHARD ANTHONY - NO GOOD CAUTIONS - NO OTHER WAY CAPREEZ - HOW TO MAKE A SAD MAN GLAD YOUNGBLOOD SMITH - YOU CAN SPLIT RITA DACOSTA - DONT BRING ME DOWN FOUR PROS - JUST ANOTHER GIRL MARY SAENZ - WOULD SHE DO THAT FOR YOU (poppy but v hard to dance to) THE Q - THATS THE WAY CELESTRALS - CHAIN REACTION VONETTES - TOUCH MY HEART ALL OUT & OUT STOMPERS!!

FLORENCE DEVORE - KISS ME NOW STARTONES - LOVING YOU BABY SHANDELLS - I'VE GOT TO LOVE HER SWEETS - SATISFY ME BABY TURLEY RICHARDS - I FEEL ALRIGHT

UNDERPLAYED CHEAPIE!!

SUPERCORSA - JUST GET ON WITH IT MATE. SEE KOLLA'S COMMENTS. I ALSO RUN A NORTHERN/MOTOWN NITE AT A BRITISH LEGION, HAVE TO ABIDE ALSO BY LICENSING RULES , CLUB POLICIES ETC. EARLY CLOSING (BEFORE MIDNITE) ETC. ALTHOUGH IT IS BECOMING BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST MONEY SPINNERS FOR THE CLUB (BOTH DOOR TAKINGS OF WHICH ME AND OTHER DJS GET A CUT FROM) AND BAR TAKINGS, GREAT ATMOSPHERE, HAVE TO PUT UP WITH MOANING OF OLDER CLUB MEMBERS ETC ETC . PLAY WHAT U FEEL IS RIGHT IF IT GETS THE PUNTERS IN THEN ALL THE BETTER. ALSO DO NOT FEEL OVER-SHADOWED BY MORE ESTABLISHED SOUL NITES IN YOUR AREA. GOOD LUCK! P.S. WHERE IS IT? GRANT

oh nearly forgot, fastest of them all!! THE C.O.D.s 'SHE'S FIRE'

couple more :- vondells - hey girl you've changed executive 4 - i got a good thing going hesitations - i'm not built that way clarence reid - i'm your yes man combinations - what you gonna do grant

done a few searches, just comes up as lp/cd track. Best of Darlene Love 1992

Hippo, how did u manage that - did u take the record along to one of those voice analysts or summat? LOL

HERES A FEW HAYDN : DO IT - PAT POWDRILL (DOWNEY) CORY CORNELL - WHEN WE GET MARRIED (GERT) KELLY GARRETT - LOVE'S THE ONLY ANSWER (SMASH)

DITTO JOAN, HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM IN THE LATE 80'S WHEN HE STAYED AT NETTIES HOUSE IN WIGAN. WENT TO MANY A NITER WITH HIM AFTER THAT. GOT SOME GREAT TUNES OF HIM THEN. ALSO STILL HAVE A WIGAN TAPE WHERE DJ ANNOUNCES 'NEXT TRACK IS GOING OUT TO PETE LAWSON, THIS IS RAY AGEE, ALIAS JAMES CONWELL & 'LOVE IS A LOSING GAME'' - MAGIC. GRANT

sorry mikey but as i said only personal taste mate. can see why a lot of people like the record though. Another bad one (IMO!!) VALA REGAN - FIREMAN .

packin' up - damon fox - ha ha - does anyone know the lyrics to it?

cant remember theme from fantastic disco machine graham but when u quit wigan u must have missed out on a lot of great stuff like Eddie Daye & 4 Bars, Ray Agee, Vondells, Imaginations, Inspirations, Betty Lloyd et al. Yes Wigan played some nonsense but so did a lot of places - a lot of shite played at every soul nite and all-niter today. IMO too many knockers about wigan these days - without it folks there wouldnt be any 100 CLub, etc! Just remember wich sid eur bread buttered on folks!! Grant - ex-WCSC & proud of it

LIKE MIKE SAID PAUL, WHAT IS SOMEONES WORST RECORD MAY BE SOMEBODY ELSES FAVE RECORD AND SO ON. MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT UP A LIST OF PERSONAL WORST RECORDS (SAY 5 EACH) BUT AS I SAY THEY ARE ONLY PERSONAL CHOICES AND NOT A KNOCK ABOUT BRINGING SOUNDS DOWN. YOU MENTION J VANELLI HERE, GOT TO SAY IT IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DANCERS OF ALL TIME AND A RECORD THAT WAS NEVER HAMMERED! BUT HEY THATS MY OPINION ONLY. HERES 5 RECORDS I DONT WANT TO HEAR AT A SOUL NITE :- 1. MR SOUL - WHAT HAPPENED TO YESTERDAY 2. BOBBY KLINE - SAY SOMETHING NICE TO ME 3. ESTHER PHILLIPS - CATCH ME I'M FALLING 4. SPENCER WIGGINS - LETS TALK IT OVER 5. FUTURES - PARTY TIME MAN FEW SURPRISES THERE FOR A FEW PEOPLE, BUT AS I SAID IT IS PERSONAL CHOICE, NOT A SLAGGING OF THESE TUNES. GRANT

sorry brian meant kids - if i had the choice ? - no contest mate!! heh heh!

Hey Brian, just read back your last post - who are you selling before you go - your records or your vinyl?!! Grant

KNOCK HIM DOWN BRIAN!!! HA HA! THEY SHOULD CALL YOU DICK TURPIN MATE! --- HOW COULD ANYONE HAVE MADE SUCH A MISTAKE MATE?!!! ON THE SUBJECT OF CARBOOTS MY MISSUS WAS SELLING AT ONE ONCE (ABOUT 1OYRS AGO AND BY MISTAKE TOOK A FEW RECORDS THAT WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR SELLING!!!! VIZ:- SYNG MCGOWAN (HOPE) ROSE VALENTINE (RCA) PAUL ANKA (RCA BLACK) SHE THOUGHT SHE DID WELL GETTING A TENNER FOR THESE AND 20 OTHER POPPY SOUL RECORDS! CAN U IMAGINE MY DELIGHT WHEN SHE TOLD ME.
