Guest Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I WAS SUPRISED U GUYS NEVER FOUND THAT SOUL TUNE barabas and check mate i can base the whole story on a tune u never herd all those dee jays that are connected to it and u never found the flavour man appart from thinking i was a linole blair which was a bit unfair ,we have to start with this tune i will try to explain wat it meant in the birth of the above said movement ,it might take months to explain i am a slow talker dont think any one elese here knows it unless its criss hill gerg edwards of vincent on the other screne man, or any other midwife so to speak is a fasinating look at the birth of back in the day better than meeeting phat boy slimm or any other vinil vampire u might find it to be the most iintreging story in the world
Martyn Pitt Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Barabas - Check Mate - Black Cat records 1976 / 1977? I think from memory. I have a copy deep in my vaults, came across from the USA on the Jazz Funk wave in the mid seventies. Martyn

Guest Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 well done martin listen to the tune most notably the overt sound of the clavernet, suading away over real hand claps it had a uniquike kind of feel to it, way before rolls royce had double hand claps in car wash it was a dark tune with a evervesent bruce lee power in it... as to pound ones feet away to the 7 inch single why was this tune so uniquike in the foundations of the thang that is wat u must ask

Guest vinylvixen Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 If Carl Mackintosh did use it on 'Hanging on a string', the sample source was never creditted.....maybe you mean he 'reinterpretted' the original tune and used it as part of his composition - therefore avoiding the sampling/ licensing fee Jowell done stomper u are thee man PASSES STOMP A FUNK MEDAL i even posted my new box with out reading your post i thought black cat must be a retro label stomper i was there when that tune hit the floors it was a kind of dark tune always associted to the best dancers and years later carl mackintosh used it on the out bars on his monster hit with loose ends" hangin on a string" its the same kind of clavernt break " you ba you bar da you bar do bar da "

Guest Dan Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I've just got off the phone to my man at the CIA. He reckons Del is probably some sort of virtual-reality programme designed by the Soviets to inflitrate the soul scene. Like Hal in 2001: A Space Odyssey, only different. And not quite as intelligible. The word from the spooks is Del might be about to try a takeover so be on your guard.
Soulsmith Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Stanley Unwin, welcome to Soul Source... Nice one Matt, you beat me to it
Martyn Pitt Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Del, Just reading your first post again, why did you assume / think that no one else here would know the tune? Any others that you want to throw in that we may not know. Martyn
