I like this feedback somebody put down for him

I played a scooter rally and was sorting out the box when I was approached by a woman possible in her thirties and definitely a bleached blonde. (this is just "colour" and has no real relevance to the story) Her opener was "i hope you're going to beplaying some good stuff" Me "Oh it's all good stuff in here" "Nane o that sixties soul shite then?" was her to the point response. As it turned out it was a very good night. My fellow DJ played some great R&B and the promoter played everything else the crowd wanted to hear including "Heartbreak Avenue" the two tone stuff, the Jam etc. He explained that was his job not mine to play the "classics". Anyway your mate should have asked for Chris Clark's version as it only received its official vinyl release last year

Uroffal is right. You have to talk to people as well as hand over the flyer to remind them what you told them. The personal touch counts.

Check out the TMG number. Cheeky

Pete has a jukebox warehouse suddenly been cleared? Fopp in Tottenham Court Road had as you say a box of mainstream Soul/R&B/Disco singles from the 70/80s. Record and Tape Exchange also had racks of them along with a pile of fresh looking reggae? There were jukebox cards scattered in amongst them.

Sound Of Soul - Phyllis Garland Try Here https://tinyurl.com/y4egn6 For Honkers and Shouters Try Here https://tinyurl.com/ygyfgf Arnold Shaw has a great way with words and as he was record industry guy gets some good stories from the early pioneers of R&B. Whether or not all the stories are true is anpther matter. John Ponomarenko has a good site with a whole load of book reviews https://www.localdial.com/users/jsyedu133/S...es/newpage2.htm

According to https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/sounds60s/playlist.shtml it was Crying in the Night

Hand clappin and its follow up were recorded in a studio in front of 100 or so fans. The best live recording I've come across is The Senate Sock it to you recorded at Sussex University in the late sixties. I've yet to hear the Garnett Mimms set recorded the same evening.

This was one of the biggest selling albums of 1967. It was in the charts for 38 weeks.Not a track played on the radio. It was one of the four big party albums along with The Drifters I'll take you where the music's playing, Tamla Motown Hits Volume 5 and Otis Blue for later that night. Whilst daft southerners might have handed over ten bob notes to see somebody put records on a Garrard SP 25 elewhere live bands filled the clubs every weekend. As Well as Geno and Jimmy James, there were herbie Goins and the Nightimers, and Chris Farlow and The Thundebirds, along with local favourites. I've been lucky enough to support Geno whilst playing his blues solo act and with the Ram Jam Band. He's hard working and a hard task master and he likes everything done to his liking. In return he delivers a great live show although some of his stories nad routines go back to his sixties hey day.

Whilst checking out the clearance rack for men's knitted tops in TK Maxx I heard Bobby Womack's original of Daylight. They've obviously researched their market and concluded that John Smedley seekers may buy that turquoise V Neck if mollified by a decent slice of Modern soul.

Note the lack of a W.

Thanks for that Pete. One of my favourite groups. I've played it on Reflections and out at The GoGo in Edinburgh. Right Now Not later was written and I believed produced by Bob Bateman and Ron Moseley and was the B side to Train from Kansas city. There another shorter but Live i think version here on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBPgrcGyQmQ Lead singer Mary Weiss has been back in the studio recently.

How does an auction work again? one places an article for sale and invites bids before a closing date. Bids are made and can be seen by other interested parties. More people bid and eventaully the highest bidder wins the article. Is there a step where the leading bidder has to have his head examined before continuing? Is there a page on Soul Source where the soul police ask if the auctioneer is morally right to put the article up for sale. oh yes there apparently is and I'm reading it.

I was looking for a place to plug this. There are 26 hours of Northern Soul to listen to here. 13 shows all play listed here https://www.radiomagnetic.com/shows/index_show.php?topic=12 There's a new Reflections on Northern Soul at www.radiomagnetic.com Two hours of great music with a live set from the last night of the Caledonian Soul Club. Tune in and let me know what Martin's Cover Up is. I have surrounded it with cuts from Joe Tex, Blue Magic, Harvey Scales, Valerie and Nick. My old school DAP jukebox has been busy recording sets at Friday Street, Goodfoot and the Dumfries classic soul night. They'll be featured in future shows. Next month will see the return of guests and their selection of music. Thanks for sticking with reflections and get in touch. Reply to this, PM on the message boards or use the radiomagnetic forums. This week's show and play list can be found here. https://www.radiomagnetic.com/shows/index.php?id=209

I've got Rhythm and Blues by Paul Mauriat and a looking for this one

Can you actually name a record whose songs have not been registered?

yes and his records are filed on the same shelf as Gary Glitter and Jonathon King.

Johnny Arthey also did the music for The Double Deckers. Recent instrumentals have included King of The Horse by the Delights Orchestra, Footpattin' Pt II by King Curtis and I've dug out Green Onions By King Curtis and The Flick by Earl van Dyke.

Hey I'm playing Voodoo Party James last plays The Temptations, Santana and Sly Stone. it's hansimania Modern Soul fans should have best Kept secret in their collection

Given that mains electricity did not arrive in the islands and certain parts of the Highlands (and all of Wales) till the late sixties there would have been a certain amount of demand for 78's for wind up gramaphones. The oldest one i've got is Roll em Pete on parlophone from the forties. The newest one is Robert Gordon and Red Hot from the seventies.
