Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Bobby Treetop had two records big on the NS scene, that's quite unusual for such an obscure artist :-) As well as "Wait Till I Get To Know Ya" there was "So Sweet, So Satisfying", equally as good too. I recall that "So Sweet" is the rarer one of the two and went for serious money, the last time I heard of one changing hands was for around £500. Trivia: both records have the same flip side :-)

I haven't achieved much today, but I have been digging for music in some very obscure corners - and here's one of the most obscure records you'll ever hear, but a rare northern soul number all the same :-) Haven't heard this for flipping years .....

The CD this is featured on (above) was a bootleg, thinly disguised as a legitimate release. Cameo Parkway didn't licence their music for many years, certainly not before 2002 when this CD came out. It's quite rare now :-)

The Treetop disc has a strong, driving soul tempo - dancing guaranteed!

The CD compilation looks really quite convincing!

An anthem to being young, having fun and dancing. What’s not to like?

I've chewed over my proposal today for the Top 100 and have decided on one from the goddess Maxine Brown, this is the original version of "Oh No Not My Baby", also recorded by Aretha Franklin and Linda Ronstadt and while they're good, this is the best :-)
