Top Tips For 2015

Morning all,

 

Happy new year and apologies for being a bit later than usual getting this thread off the mark.

 

Got a bit more on me plate this year, even than usual!

 

It's 12 months since we did the last 'Top Tips' thread... and it's now a Soul Source tradition (this is the ninth, as it started in 2007) so here we go again!

 

Although we may be at risk of inferences that this thread only exists cos we've run out of things to play (me in particular :shhh::lol: :lol: :P ) we'll give it another shot, shall we?

 

I'm sure if you're a Soul Fan we all enjoy and benefit from being made aware of something new!

 

And lord knows... some of you might well need to freshen up those playlists! :D So here's your opportunity to tip the tunes in your box for future greatness, during the forthcoming year... or simply list any number of records that you'd like to recommend to other Soul Sourcers.

 

You might be a DJ with that tasty unplayed, unknown, hardly played or semi-known 45 stuck in the back of your box that you'd love to play out... but haven't quite got around to it... yet!

 

You might not be a DJ, but a collector, sitting on a tune that you know, if it got into the right hands, it could become massive in the next 12 months.

 

The tune could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves.

 

It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just have what it takes to become a monster!

 

We're talking, Northern, Modern, Crossover or 'Just Soul' - Whatever floats your boat! With the increased diversity around these days, and lots of new folk getting into the music, this should be a really interesting list!

 

How about those funky groovers. Are they now providing a rich seam of new quality music that is trickling into the mainstram?

 

Are Firme Rolas and Lowrider Oldies doing it at your night?

 

How about the 'Carib Soul' material... is that finding it's way onto the Northern Playlists?

 

Is there a killer, long overlooked, track just ripe for a revival?

 

Have all the big 'crossover' tracks finally crossed over?

 

Or are the Top 500 Stompers still the only tunes that make it really happen on the dancefloor?

 

No need to post sound clips. Just let us know what you've got that you think deserves a really big plug in the coming year!

 

What I need from you please, to keep things tidy and stop me having to do hours of research to get the detail, is the following:

 

Artist - Title - Label

 

In that order please.

 

That's it.

 

You know the drill!

 

Cheers!

Had the odd play but I think it has dance floor potential:

 

The Vontastics - Let me down easy - Toddlin' Town

 

Crossover winner for me:

 

Aretha Franklin - Oh no not my baby - Atlantic UK

 

Adam

These two in my playbox for most of 2014......

Moody Scott - We've Got To Save It - 77

I've always thought this was a fantastic tune and wondered how someone could fit it in to any spot other than a slower/left field early doors set.  Another record I think is in the same vain is Walter Wolfman Washington - You Got Me Worried on Hep'Me another top tune IMVHO

 Nice one John.

 

Any other left fielders you'd like to recommend?

Even better if more brand new releases like Soulutions can get an airing as already rightly mentioned...eg tracks like "L-O-V-E" from Shirma Rouse MP3 album released late last year just superb I think. The remixed Preston Shannon 45 "The way I Love you" that Soul Junction released last year just brilliant too and loads of others. Okay maybe not for a busy main room but certainly smaller rooms.

 

 

 

Couldn't agree more on those choices, Steve, especially Shirma Rouse, as you say, superb.

 

Cheers

Roger

Here's 3 from me that I enjoy spinning at home, would love to hear them out at a big venue -  SWAMP DOGG  -   ' COME GET IT ' on ALA from '82, old P. Brady Bradford modern spin, excellent funky stop-start stormer ! //  SMOOTH & CO  -  ' HALF STEPPING ' forgotten 80's super group sound that came out on UK Move (very hard on US Bevnik).  //  THE IMPRESSIONS -  ' SINCE I LOST THE ONE I LOVE '  criminally underplayed  Mayfield  ABC dancer, just as good as some of their better known goodies.

Sean, Julius Wright did get a vinyl release in 1969 or 1970 on a very obscure german-only LP.

Thanks all, some triffic recent additions to the list.

 

We've smashed through the 100 and I'm ready to call that quits, if you are!

 

I'll finish the list off with something that featured a lot in my 'early hours' sets this past couple of years. A stunning piece of 'Inspirational Crossover' and a great vocal performance on a fairly topical track from the Fantastic Violinaires.

 

Play it loud and enjoy!

 

Cheers all and thanks again.

 

Your contributions are enjoyed and appreciated by us all.

 

:thumbsup:

 

Sean

Love going to venues where CD's / MP3s can also feature and make the most of some amazing previously unreleased dancers from last year including the likes of say:-

 

- Dee Dee Warwick "You tore my wall down" (The complete Atco recordings double CD)

- Julis Wright "I pray that things will change" (Kent CD "Brent...superb 60s Soul Sounds")

- Chuck Jackson  "Where did you go" (Kent CD "Satisfaction Guaranteed Motown Guys 1061-69")

- The Natural Resources "If there where no you" / Toussaint McCall "I'll laugh till I cry" (Kent CD "Dore L.A. Soul sides" then also on Kent Select 45)

- Dynamic Sounds Orchestra "Take me back" MP3 from their unreleased album (thanks again S.P.!)

 

Even better if more brand new releases like Soulutions can get an airing as already rightly mentioned...eg tracks like "L-O-V-E" from Shirma Rouse MP3 album released late last year just superb I think. The remixed Preston Shannon 45 "The way I Love you" that Soul Junction released last year just brilliant too and loads of others. Okay maybe not for a busy main room but certainly smaller rooms.

 

Here's to another great year of soul anyway :thumbsup: . Steve

Well Steve

The Dynamic Sounds Orchestra will be hitting the streets on a 45 late  April, :thumbsup:

Dave
