Haydn

To be honest, my gripe is probably something to do with the wave of KFC and the like. If i went out to a local pub or club for a drink, i knew the type of stuff that would end up making my ears bleed would be playing and nowadays there are young in-house DJ's that throw a smidgeon of Northern and Modern into there sets. I have nothing to fear with the rare sounds as they probably won't latch on to them, but to freely download onto a blank CD and throw it off as their discovery after we have lived the life is a bit much. I am all for free movement of the scene but not if it means the fag and beer brigade, edging me off the maple-sprung. cheers Haydn.

Dynamics was a goer on the Mod scene couple of years back don't know a thing about it though!!!!! Think it only came to light when released on a soul CD.

Spinners - For all we Know. Gr8 vocals, wow.

Bit of shady ground here for some but would like to hear any info on this, let me explain.......... As a pub dj in the '80s, i was under the impression that the playing of music anywhere had to be licenced by some authority or another or you weren't allowed to play the sounds to the public, now.... While national radio stations et al are paying to play certain sounds, how do the small time dj's stand? We can all have a private party and listen to music in our own homes but is there any do's and donts about having a publicised night without the aspect of copyright rearing its head. Every day you hear that such and such plays cd's but some folks don't even have the decency to buy an original cd, it is usually a copy, bought for cheap and discarded when the sounds are "out" It just seems to me nowadays that with the advent of technology ie CD's, anyone can copy or download a tune that some DJ's have sold their skin for top notch sounds then to find that some small time downloader is playing the same sound and getting the credit for finding it, pah!!! I only think of this because our scene revolves round the"hard to find" and most of us quite rightly travel to hear a DJ's particular sound, "what's the point of going to hear it? wee Bill's got a d/load of it". I know myself that in the '80s , boots and re-issues were in abundance but being nieve, i wasn't in the position to find the good stuff. Now that i am older and hopefully wiser, i can pick and choose. I know some folks who would say that it's alright to be playing this stuff but if some DJ's are doing it and getting away with it, then i am missing out on loadsomoney. Throwaway music??????? Not my bag!!! H.

I am aware that it doesn't seem to exist but..... Doni Burdick - Candle in my window (need your love) POW.........

Can't seem to get you out of my mind - Four tops Running back and forth - Edwin Starr for now...... H.

This thread seems to be a bit hot headed and i have studying to do, I think i will refrain from THIS argument. No need for the colourful language all the same. H.

Coughin' and wheezin' here folks, What about..... Ronnie Forte- whisky talkin' Compared to what - Ray Charles Does anybody remember the chart hit...... L J Johnson - Your magic put a spell on me Keep em comin' the heart us racing........

Just a bit of fun, which sound in your mind made you reach for your inhaler before you even hit the maple sprung?????????????? heres a couple to start: Four Exceptions - You got the power Little Stanley- The Stran Out of breath just thinking of those, any other geriatric memoirs??

Paul, There must be thousands of those albums knockin' about too, a record shop in London had about 40 of them for sale at 50p each in '88. I bought one at the time and still see them kickin' around up here in the charity shops of Scotland!!!!!!!

Found these at car boots/junk shops through the years:- James Royal-Work Song on Parlaphone white demo...20p Sons of Moses-Soul Symphony on MCA..............50p JImmy Smith- Mojo workin' on Verve demo.....10p B.J Thomas-Never had it so good on Scepter.....10p

Any help appreciated on this item from the back of the box!!!!! Artist- Wendell Parker & the Cape Ann Kings Song Title-My Loves on Ratio/Finally Made the Break Label- Capricorn 7....Red with black lettering Both songs written by Billy Dawn Smith and prod by wendell parker. My copy not too good but sounds likesomeone has pulled out the vocal to give an instrumental, any news of it?????

Yes, i remember Richard Domar, his list just went on and on. I found a lot of good sounds in there about '87/88. Volcanoe-Laws of love on Arctic,Rosey Jones-Have love will travel and the like came from Domar. Bought a few Night Owls too. I used to love phoning him outwith the hours written on his list, it was funny to hear him go apeshit when you inquired about a £1.50 reissue, you could imagine him turning all sorts of colours. Endless source of amusement. I hope i can get his number again, it put a smile on my face. Hello Richard? Do you have a copy of Futures-Party time man? You do? No just askin' Will phone you back about five thirty! click.......................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz H.

Don't know about 2 versions Grant but there is a version on the sounds forum if it's any use to you. Haydn.

Many thanks, Gene, Been asking about that track for a while now. This has helped me very much, I can now be the bearer of good news to my wife since she has went on and on and on.......... You may know the score!!!! cheers once again, Haydn.

I have an old tape with a really great tune on it, can anybody down south help? Female vocal Sax intro- Bah bah ba baaaah Whenever i'm sad and lonely, whenever i'm tired and blue' I know i'm goin to miss you only, after spending my life loving you Thats the first verse but further into the song ,she goes off her head and is screaming in a high pitched key. This is a gr8 track and haven't heard it at any "recent" do's but I bet someone can help here, cheers in advance, H.

Well done,Jo Caught your set at Caley in Glasgow last year, couldn't fault it at all. It would be good to see more of the ladies DJing on the scene especially when the average do contains about 90% male. Faith H.

Heard this last week and sounded very familiar, don't know the label or the writers, but was sure i heard it before. Puzzled me where I had heard it ,for ages until i delved into the back of beyond and picked out "The Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band - Brown Sugar" on Keymen records. Well blow me!!! The same tune in a different style, does anybody know anything about these? Writers for rhythm band is Rebennack and Hill, arranged by J Carmicheal, produced by Fred Smith. Surely somebody can help on this please. H.
