Lewis Clark If you ever ever leave me Tigertown Records

If you ever ever leave me I don't know what I would do! That's what I feel about my love of soul! I would have to listen to Radio Five Live for the rest of my life ;-) Lewis was only seventeen when he recorded this the first of his records with "come to me" on the flip side only 200 copies pressed with Lewis selling them to his friends it's no wonder this is a tough one to find on the first issue! Thankfully Tigertown issued it with "here's my heart" on the flip side, still hard to find especially in nice condition. But more than well worth the hunt imo. 

Deena Johnson The breaking point Wild Deuce Records

As you will see from my Stute plays I'm a sucker for young lady soul singers from the 60's! And this 1964 Detroit slab of soul as it all & then some, the guy's running Wild Deuce Records had to come up with something really special to follow 1003 & they did that with style imo.

Clydie King Soft & gentle ways Imperial Records

When I got back into attending soul nights I was very lucky to make friends with Rob & Bob from Coalville It was Rob that introduced me to this wonderful track by Clydie, & along with Bob's play box I got to listen to loads of other tracks played at the Top Of The world I had mist out on, I knew about the flip side (he always comes back to me) but never owning the record & not having a clue that something so sublime lay on the flip side, it took me near ten years to find a EX+ issue copy & that was down to the wonderful Mr Pete Smith from Planet Records. 

Marion Stewart I must be losing you "R" Records

Yet again me knowing this Record is down to Rob Gray but the track Rob played out was La Renie La Mar on Clouds with the same backing tack, then one day in his flat he plays me the Marion Stewart & I knew I had to find a copy, it's right up my lady soul singers street!

The Jelly Beans I'm hip to you Eske

The flip side to "you don't mean me no good" & one of the records that I played from my cousin's record collection that turned me onto soul just before I left school! even now when this record is played out it's the more up-tempo side played but I always play "I'm hip to you" at the Stute, i hope you enjoy this as much as I do. 

Sheila Ferguson And in return Swan Records

I have the very nice & very knowledgeable Tony Clark (Newark) to thank for owning one of my favourite records, If he had not found a DJ copy he would not have let this Swan issue go that's for sure. Sheila's finest moment imo.

R Tenard You made me cry Fa-BO-Lus Records

A Guy spin from TOTW & one I played many times at No More Doggin, at the Stute I'm still pushing this track from Chicago with a little more interest with each play that is nice to see & had a dance floor action one week! I hope it may get the recognition it truly deserves one day ! All IMO of course.

Young Hearts I've got love for my baby Minit Records

I started playing the Young Hearts not just because I love the track but you never here it played out in the east midlands anymore, on first play at the Stute on the opening bars I got the silly Egyptian dancing but this is a true 1968 group soul record of the highest order from Los Angeles & I soon got the "I like this" feed back !.

The Dream Merchants Stop (you're breaking my heart) Renee Records

You can feel the pain in the vocals pleading for his girl to STOP breaking his heart! How anyone could not like this track is beyond me it has the lot for the dance floor, It came out on Jenges but I've still to hold one in hands it's a very rare one that's for sure, if you what to see one do a search on Rare Soul Man!

The Singing Swinging Counts Along the way Label

The Carolinas have given the Northern Soul fan some cracking dance records & this is right up there with the best of them imo it's a track I love dancing to it has featured more than once in my play list at the Stute & it will be in may more to come.
