The Northern Lights Valentine Playlist 14/02/2012

Last night's gig down at the Northern Lights tended to be a birthday party for one of the girl's who works at the establishment, little Lina no less, who has become the events manager. Ville started the early two hour session as he has to be up early for work the next day, and I did the last two and a half hours. It was an all vinyl set, and I used a number of 45s I brought with me from Kent.

These are the ones I remember playing (in no particular order) -

Johnnie Taylor – It's Cheaper To Keep Her (Stax)
The Chimes – I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (CBS)
Randy Maverick – Pure Love (Serious)
Blondie – Heart Of Glass (Chrysalis)
Bob Marley and The Wailers – Kinky Reggae (Island)
Santana – She's Not There (CBS)
Booker T & The MG's – Slum Baby (Stax)
Marvin Gaye – That’s The Way Love Is (Tamla)
Mary Wells – My Guy (Motown)
B.D.M – No Rest For The Wicked (Freestyle)
Wild Cherry – Play That Funky Music (Epic)
Love Unlimited – It May Be Winter Outside (20th Century)
Trini Lopez – Gonna Get Along Without You Know (Reprise)
The Stance Brothers – Steve McQueen (Ricky Tick)
Letta Mbulu – What Is Wrong With Groovin' (Jazzman)
George McCrae – You Can Have It All (Jay Boy)
Earth Wind and Fire – Boogie Wonderland (CBS)
A Taste of Honey – Boogie Oogie Oogie (Capitol)
Honey Cone – Want Ads (Hot Wax)
Veda Brown – Short Stopping (Stax)
Staple Singers – If You're Ready (Come Go With Me ) (Stax)
Dennis Coffey and The Detroit Guitar Band – Scorpio (Sussex)
Love Unlimited Orchestra – Love's Theme (Pye Int.)
Didiers Sound Spectrum – Impuls (Timmion)
Johnny Hammond – Working On A Groovy Thing (Kudu)
Third World – Now That We Found Love (Island)
Miami – Kill That Roach (Drive)
Ray Bryant – If You Go Away (Cadet)
C.J. & Co – Devil's Gun (Atlantic)


As things stand, I will probably miss March out all together and have another Brillo sometime April, as the times ahead a somewhat uncertain.
