"when i became of age, my mother called me to her side. she said " son your growing up now, and pretty soon you'll take a bride", and then she said................................. "save all your money, and go out and compile the best hour and a half of motown you can." so, as i don't want to upset my mum, i would like your help. what would be your favourite motown dance track/tracks, that no motown "hour an' half" should be without? help make my mum happy alan

any one know if "strange" was released on 7" by ike and tina turner? thanks inadvance alan

surly it was..................... one hump or two or, be careful he might get the hump alan

PMed ya alan

oh no!!!! what have i done. i'm hated by everyone, my life will never be the same. i'll be scared forever. i still like it anyway but i ain't spending 800 notes on it alan

having been of the scene a while, what "new" tunes should i be looking for , preferabley without breaking the bank even easy to get hold of sounds (i.e. four vandals) i know these thanks in advance alan

anyone know where i can get a copy of "wake up to the sunshine girl" - Joey Delorenzo how much should i expect to pay thanks in advance alan

cheers sean alan

what was your first and last northern record? then.......love on a mountain top-robert knight last........ain't love wounderful-fantastic four and no cheating alan

what was your first motown record? mine was reflections-the supremes come on its just a bit of fun alan

ya, i would agree...... they just seem to sound very different, although very similar alan

am i going mad , or does my cd player make songs sound different ...................... is there two versions of what is this?-bobby womack i have a version on a minit/stateside compalation album, and i've just heard another version on the northern soul sensations cd and its sounds very different. anyone shed any light on this? alan

i'm sure its great to have three and four figure sum priced records, but when you have limited knowledge, as i do, every records a rare one. even the 99p ones ingnorance is bliss, aswell as cheap alan

thank you alan

ya, got to agree, cracking track

PM sent alan

cheers simon, that should keep go'n for a while alan

cheers blake, i'll keep my eyes open for that one thanks alan

thanks to sean i've now got my head around the "crossover" period, and i'm going to try and get up to bentnik to listen to their "crossover" evening. but, can anybody recommend some albums or cds i should look out for to help appriciate this style better in the comfort of home LOL thanks in advance alan

it was the bob and earl B&C RECORDS album that got me asking the question in the first place. i bought a copy the other day from a second hand shop for £2.50 when i played it, i was just blown away by "my little girl" along with a few of the tracks, i gotta say this is a cracking slice of old school "northern soul" best couple of quid i've spent for a while alan

did bob relf (of bob and earl fame) ever record "my little girl" on a 45, and did earl nelson (same fame) record "would you believe" on 45 thanks in advance alan
