Hope you guy's have had a great Xmas & New Year 

Mike has asked a regular of SSRC to put up a new thread for this year so i'd thought i would start this years 

I'll try & keep the rules of thread simple

NO putting records up for sale through this thread 

Only post records that you own  thanks 

We do like all aspects of the soul scene so just go for it has they say 

 

So here's my 1st of the year 

Great modern track 7" W/D here 

Hiroshima - Never Ever - Arista

One in the playbox for Saturday night.

Bunny Sigler - For Cryin' Out Loud Decca

 

 

another half decent dance tune that just came to me

 

I've had this for years, and their other release on Optimum, both a little strange, but not bad to freak out to

I've got "That Girl" by them on Bell.I think that suffers from the same thing as this?The production is brilliant but the vocals are a bit iffy to my ears?Put a proper lead vocal on them & you'd have a couple of serious tunes imo.

Isn't Lady Sunshine on the flip on Bell? I agree with you there, both records could have been improved with a stronger vocal lead.  "I've got soul" is weird hippie funk, strange as hell, the flute is too much, by far.

I'm a dumbass

For some reason I love this to bits after drinking my Ovaltine.

This is probably my favourite Brit pop tune of the 60's

I've owned it for years Peter and had completely forgotten about it, just going through some old email recently and there it was, so I looked it up on YouTube, and I've listened to it everyday since. 

Last one from me for tonight as I have to walk the dog, and it's raining, not that that is a problem, just a rarity here.  One I may take to Hitsville in September for the last day.

There's some fabulous tunes about, you just need to be in the right mind set when you first hear them, and then take a risk.

Time to talk serious singers.

 

 

Had this a while too, a good wake you up song.

 

This at the other end of the spectrum, nice easy going stuff for those not in a rush.

 

Garland Green - Come Through Me

It's the bass-line and snare Martyn, similar for a while and then off at tangents. 

Dave

Another slower paced one for a Friday afternoon....

 

This has got a good chance for an outing

You should get to the 100 Club more often, they give away some wonderful tracks on the anniversary singles

 

Well, I threatened you with some disco tonight - the night is still young! So, a bit of a change of plan - going to kick off with a Kim Weston track which had its first release on a compilation back in 2005 - or there abouts. 

Fancy Meeting You Here - absolutely stunning. Lyrics, vocals, and arrangement - beautiful. 

Ave it and turn it up. It's Friday! 

 

The last time I even mentioned this record I got hammered from every direction. But, back in the day, if you were a dancer on fuel, this was some dance record. Trust me, I was that man - well one of em, and we loved it. 

Annis - Don't Play Your Games. 

 

Sending this out to Martyn - can you find them dungarees and sandals? 

The Delegation - Honey. You got to play it loud or it dont work!

 

An under the radar flip side for Saturday morning

 

another nice flip that deserves a play or two....

I'll be there next month, then again in September, my only two visits to the UK.  I have all the anniversary singles and close to a second full set, a few spares too.

Dave

Here's a bit of disco for Peter & it won't be in my playbox for tonight

Herman H. Harper II-Head For The Streets Loadstone

 

 

another flip that does it for me

The spares are at my father's place in Lincolnshire so I'll have a look see when I get there if you like, I know I wouldn't have paid much for them, I'm too mean.

Dave

One that's definitely in the box for tonight.

I can't promise Martyn, but you never know, I had a spate of buying the anniversary singles as often as I saw them knowing the prices would rise, got most for less than £50, some for less than a tenner.

Dave

Another little beauty, took this to Hitsville, but don't think I played it

 

last one before my coffee and off to work, a funky flip that deserves an airing...

 

Another nice flip

 

Another one you just don't hear often

 

another nice flip...

 

Mellow Sunday music

A funky Monday flip
