Godzilla Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Possibly remembered with less fondness than Soul Sounds - no doubt due to Simon Soussan involvement, particulalry those awful synth instrumentals. Have to say some pretty fantastic stuff came out on these booties in the 70's though. Anybody got a complete listing? A few personal faves were: Doni Burdick - Bari Track / I Have Faith in You Inticers - Since You Left / I Got To Find Me A Baby Fabulous Jades - Come On and Live / Planning This Moment Benny Curtis - Dirty Hearts / (can't remember what the flip is) and of course "Bob Wilson Sounds" Of yeah Four Perfections and Jimmy Mack too. Damn good recordings compared to some of the other boots around at the same time as well. Not that I'm advocating bootlegging, of course but as mentioned in the other thread, they are a part of our history like it or not. Godz
Tabs Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 No argument from me Godz. History will be the judge. I guess it's the same old story, and we will all disagree on that. From a personal perspective, empasis personal, at that time we all wanted the sounds and were not really fussed how we got them. Older and wiser now. That said of all the 6 titles you mentioned I still play 4 constantly on tape .

Weren't Soul Fox Strings and Mirwood strings etc on the Soul Fox label rather than Soul Galore Mark? Any chance of throwing the label listing up just out of interest? Cheers Godz
Pete S Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Soul Fox Strings - Blowing my mind to pieces - was on Soul Galore, pink label

Cheers ========= im sure it was godz but i will check... getting all my 45s out later today for an audit will list em for you theres a inst of love on a mountain top on it too which john vincent spun (or a version of it) ,,,not one of his best plays regards
Godzilla Posted June 8, 2006 Author Posted June 8, 2006 Hey! You're the expert, Mark Just an old codger's memory playing up. Hang on - just remembered another one. Sounds of Lane - Serenade. It was actually an instrumental version of The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night, really drenched in reverb. Worked better as a psych tune than a soul one. Really, really cannot believe anyone played that out other than the odd youth club. Godz
