Back Street Blue Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 will have to get myself a copy.......if only to see what the "seven up" is about ....hopefully its not based on an environment agency flood warning 2
Dave Rimmer Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I haven't read Blues & Soul for years now, (Does it still exist?) mostly because it actually contained precious little about Blues or Soul. Is Echoes any better ? Given that I have no interest in Lisa Stansfield, and haven't heard of the other acts on the front page do they have any relevence to Soul music ? 2

Just checking you have not read the page too quick. You have really never heard of Jennifer 'Am I telling you I'm Not going' Holliday?
Wiggyflat Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Does Ian Levine still have a column?...lol...... Is there any northern soul content?.I used to buy it for 2 pages in the eighties and nineties. 1
Chalky Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I was buying both not so long ago. Not sure why as both crap. 1
Derek Pearson Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 will have to get myself a copy.......if only to see what the "seven up" is about ....hopefully its not based on an environment agency flood warning First thing that came into my mind was Snow White....... Dx 3

Steve G Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I was buying both not so long ago. Not sure why as both crap. Agreed. It was interesting in the 70s and 80s, and for all his faults you could always get a mention of your gig in The Ramblers column. Paul Philips (The Rambler) was actually quite a decent fella, although he didn't really know much about music, and his first love was horseracing.....Chris Wells and Stuart Cosgrove also did some good contemporary articles in Echoes too. B&S I don't think ever recovered from the loss of Godin's column, always worth a read, and thought provoking, even if he occasionally Uncle Dave "got it wrong". B&S kind of went OTT on Jazz Funk late 70s, and I remember one Xmas edition c 1980 that had pictures of Chris Hill on virtually every page - it was a joke. I gave up with both, there was just no real informed and interesting journalism in either mag. Their interviews and articles of artists were lame and poorly researched and generally written by people who know less about soul music than some of us have forgotten.....Good example Maurice White they wrote about what he likes for breakfast, but completely missed his early pre EWF work in Chicago. In the 90s, getting "big names" on the modern scene to write about their recommendations never really worked for me either since I knew the records, and their column took about 2 mins to read. Compared to "Voices" which by then was on top of it's game, neither magazine stacked up. I guess to B&S interviewing Lisa is a major "scoop" and well worthy of cover pic.

Back Street Blue Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Lisa's new album is called Seven. Boring, I know. Must be her seventh album or something. thanks for clarifying that Steve........another illusion shattered ......hope she has retained her Rochdale accent........eeh by gum
Steve S 60 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I guess to B&S interviewing Lisa is a major "scoop" and well worthy of cover pic. Here's a recent interview with our Lisa about the album, from a couple of months ago..... https://youtu.be/7GPEdkRw_1M
Steve G Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Does the Lisa interview in B****S*** mention her part in the Northern Soul film?
