Ta for that Sebastian.

Speaking of 12"s played @ Wigan - Dave Evison used to play George Benson's - 'On Broadway' (think it got his No. 1 'Newie' in '81).

It used to get battered - they booted it with Janice on the flip in the end.

I used to get Blackbeat but must have missed 14 - anyone got a scan?

So - format over song.

I know but at least Gentelmen and Thier Lady had vocals in it - I'm astounded that MV got a ply @ Wigan.

What were his other releases Sebastian? The only other thing I have on Charm City is She Devil - 'She Devil' an old (but cool) funk spin of Searlings.

...spot on, I'm pleased for you mate

Jesus! Really? Was he p*ssed!?

Have a good birthday mate? Bad head?

I'm not having the Curtis Hairston bit Nick - vocally too far apart.

I thought Curtis Anderson was Curtis (How Can I Tell Her?)

For 'pressing' read 'format'.

Ovo - agreed.....but you know the prediliction with 7" vinyl over 12" vinyl on the NS scene!? If a 7" version is an edited version of the version released on the 12", does this qualify as the original edit? I ask as surely this means we value the pressing over the song, which can't be right - can it? Discuss.

Richard lives in St Helens nowadays....there's a big conversation in there that I'm opting out of haha. I used to stock Voices stuff was never offered a Donald Albert 7" but am not saying that there isn't one, just that I've never seen one sold or offered in all these years.

I'm sure there was/is no 7" - but I'd love to be proved wrong - can you dig it out fella?

haha

Perhaps we should boot a pitched up Carstairs!?

Didn't Peter pitch a George Blackwell up on a boot?

Just had a look online, found a usb cassette mullarky - I'll grab that. Cheers

How are you digitising the cassettes Chalky? I have a full collection of the old cassette soul magazine 'Soul On Sound' from the early 80's here that should be put online - great interviews,quaint adverts (dinnertime disco's etc), North and South round ups

Okay! Playlist may have thrown me a bit, very Cricket Club.

Kev never played Stafford..am I missing summat here?

Nice to hear Kev's dulcet tones, this must be from the old Hott Waxx Soul nights @ Newton Le Willows Cricket Club about 83/84, Sam was a regular guest at that time - fantastic to hear it as I didn't know any recordings existed. I have loads of recordings from The Carlton, Smiths etc but none from the CC, I'll tell the old dog, he'l be made up. Thanks for posting 'em
