Anyone else heard similar while out shopping? Dave. Exactly the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago. Which branch was it? Mine was the one in Hackney. I thought at first that some keen young staffer had gotten hold of a soul compilation CD, but the records that followed weren't soul. Very surreal. Can anyone explain? Is it some sort of conspiracy? Simsy? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There's obviously a store CD going around and whoever compiled it thought they'd stick one on for us lot!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 good to hear but not only that but i work for Somerfield and before we had been known as Kwik save there had been a day devoted to celebrate there birthday and it was selected 60's songs all day on there Kwik save in store radio and for some reason i love music - O'Jays being played. Even though songs were Dancing in the street, Four tops - I Can't Help Myself mixed with say Gene Pitney it was great to go to work and hear some motown and soul being played however cd's are on rotation they made about 3 complations of say 25 songs and play them on rotation so chance of hearing Four tops is like say 3 times Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
grant Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Last year in M&S in Stockport they had a crakin uptempo northern style tune on - never did find out what it was and certainly hadnt heard it before. But I have also heard AnnSexton played somewhere, may have been Matalan, cant remember. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
FrankM Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Whilst checking out the clearance rack for men's knitted tops in TK Maxx I heard Bobby Womack's original of Daylight. They've obviously researched their market and concluded that John Smedley seekers may buy that turquoise V Neck if mollified by a decent slice of Modern soul.

Guest soul_hull Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 my local kwik-save plays 'own-brand' versions of coldplay and U2 etc. didn't know whether to laugh or cry - so instead i shoplifted four pounds of mature cheddar and a union jack camping chair* * i made this last bit up.
