Gaz T Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Great Chalky, Really great. So not just as an outstanding soundtrack over a couple of bottle of reds, but an overview of what is going on with legit re released and unreleased items. fantastic. I ordered a couple for my unreleased until recently box , the Woodward Avenue Players particularly stood out for me, just perfect, how nice, how soulful and perfect. I am researching this Italian label as we speak. I was aware of the Carolyn Crawford 100 club 45 , but when you hear it on a mix, you just know you got to get it, I already have forget about me and my smile is just a frown, so ready or not just had to join them. Teddy Pendergrass, shockingly good, bagged one immediately I just stumbled on your mix looking for something decent to listen to , really just wanted to say thanks and really enjoyed it ! Moss 1

Randolph Brown sounds a lot like another more well known singer - it's nagging me as it's on the tip of my tongue!

Can't believe how you can possibly be accused of being a Northern Soul dinosaur with such a "modern"/cross over selection. Love the last two Lamont Dozier offerings, as a recording artist he is vastly under rated. 1

If I am it is quite laughable and whoever it is obviously doesn't know me. They only have to look at some of the playlists on this topic to know otherwise.

Popular Post Chalky Posted August 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) A tribute to Lamont Dozier, compiled by Eddie Hubbard, I just did the mix. The first 15 are from Eddie's set at the V Lounge, Ease Your Mind last Sunday, the rest are the ones he didn't have time to play plus the odd suggestion from Eddie that I had.
