Oh my Gawd....San Remo Golden Strings...we danced our arses off to this music. Long before Barry White or EWF had instrumentals. No lyric just that driving beat..crowded dance floors...sweat..all that energy!....Wish I could muster some of that spring in my step from back in the day. At 80 the mind is willing but the body is a little frail.....bit,Oh those memories. Thanks so much for the trip back in time...

[@drwhatson]

Even after 50+ years, I'm still quietly seeking out original copies of some of these dancefloor classics, enjoying them and and filing them away, hopefully for future generations to appreciate. These exciting records are timeless - once they touch your heart and soul, the joy will never fade.

[@thesoultwins72]

@drwhatson........Mmm, I don't want to sound like a 'party-pooper' and I agree, there are some truly great sounds here - but I thought the set was a complete mishmash. He started off with some classic 'youth club sounds' [mostly Motown with the odd rarity thrown in] but then it went completely batshit crazy! Frank Wilson followed by 'Festival Time'?!? C'mon. And what happened to the 'Uptempo soul' items that segue-wayed from the Youth club era to the pioneering Soul clubs? Iain and I were regulars at Colley Gate Labour club after we had 'graduated' from Halesowen Youth Club - and I can't begin to emphasise just how important CGLC was in our 'progression' onto 'proper' Northern Soul venues like the Catacombs and Torch. By that time we had acquired tracks like Johnny Sayles, Mamie Galore, Chris Jackson, Right Track, Travis Wammack etc and would get the DJ's at CGLC to play them for us. Then one night this new DJ showed up and in response to us constantly badgering him to play our records - he played a 'set' that absolutely blew our minds! We didn't know any of the sounds he played, but they were all brilliant. I can remember us rushing over to him to ask what they were ....he reeled off a succession of titles as we busily noted them down - Sam & Kitty, Bok to Bach, Shakers, Jimmy Thomas, Rose Batiste Whispers et al. I asked where he had heard these amazing records and he smugly replied, 'Tunstall Sounds'. We hadn't got a clue what he meant, but after further probing we managed to get him to reveal that he was talking about the Torch in Stoke and we made plans there and then to visit that iconic venue as soon as possible. That was the beginning of our 'journey' to experience the most influential NS clubs and [IMHO] the best times ever on the scene.

[@drwhatson]

@@thesoultwins72 Yep, you're absolutely right about the mix - I think I probably got carried away with Johnnie Taylor "Friday Night"(!) One of my faves of which I can't eulogise enough. :-) I can't stand "The Snake" and Frank Wilson is, you know... yawn city. I always preferred Laura Lee to the San Remo Strings, although both blew my mind on first hearing. Earl Jackson still sounds awesome though. I was very surprised to learn (from Carl Dene no less), that it had been played as early as 1970(!) Some of the rest are mostly reminiscent of a Tesco's CD compilation of "Wigan's Greatest Hits" - or worse 'Mr. Fuckin' M's'. :-(
