Admittedly this is just a stop-gap to pacify my Northern Soul loving listeners while I am in the process of putting together a History of Jamaican Music and that’s taking up a lot of my time, but nonetheless, I think you’ll find this selection quite interesting. It’s mainly stuff that I’ve had in various folders on my pc meaning to do something with for a long time. Many are goodies unearthed by the boffins at Kent Records and now established favourites; some are from one off acetates; some are alternative versions of well known classics. Put it this way, it may not be another $30,000 worth of Northern Soul but you’re not going to hear many of these down at your local soul night. (A lot of these are old now but were unissued at the time of discovery hence me still using that description) ++++++++++ .

When you see a topic such as this only has 18 views it makes me wonder why I bother trying to provide a bit of free entertainment every few days. 124 downloads but obviously 106 are NOT from Soul Source. Does the post not get seen? Are the podcasts just not to peoples tastes?

Not sure if you're aware, but you get an awful lot of visitors to your site and regardless of the lack of comments or input, their constant visitation is testament to their appreciation :no:

The record site or the podcast site Karen? The hits on the podcasts are phenomenal. Part of my mission to convert all the soulies to rocksteady and reggae :rolleyes:

Rocksteady and reggae... ooooh, my ears... they're bleeding lol.

What I've learned over the years, if it's good you get no feedback... if it's derogatory or inflammatory and argumentative you get lots of feedback... negative feed back that is... therefore, what you're doing is ALL GOOD :no:

As you know, the main communication and correspondence is complaints... you're not getting any so you're definitely doing the right thing :rolleyes:

Great stuff Pete -

I needed this for the Hand It Over instr.

I had it on the CD that came out a few years ago then blew up my hard drive......

Fantastic instr - I will be karaoking all night now.

I also missed this first time around - glad someone replied, The Soul Girl to be precise, and drew my attention to it.

We need more pod - thingi m jigs...

Thanks everyone, I am most humbled, honestly, but not sure why this podcast is being singled out, I did loads better than this one :D

Nice to see all the tracks in one place I suppose.

For anyone who's interested, there's a new volume of FORGOTTEN OLDIES going up in about half an hours time, I'll put a link up soon as it's ready.
