Soul Of Jamaica

[Soulsmith]

Good news - we have our own SS bit of the chat forum for Soul of Jamaica.

Bad news - apart from the odd Jackie Edwards & Derek Harriott track I haven't got a clue what its all about.

How about a CD swap? Might kick start the Soul of Jamaica section (not that it really needs it) & educate people like myself.

Appreciate many 'soulies' won't be able to fwd a Jamaican soul CD, so just have to send something a bit intereseting......

Anyone know how/interested in a CD swap?

[Soul-slider]

I've done 3 volumes of JA soul from my personal vinyl collection so far, so i'd definitely be up for a swap!

[TOAD]

ANY MORE INTERESTED ?

ID SWAP FOR MOST STUFF (NOT BEAT BALLERDS!)

[ChrisOD1964]

i would join in but i have no c.d.s like this to swap so i`ll can`t sorry

[TOAD]

ID SETTLE FOR SOUL IF YOUR INTERESTED

[Guest FrostyJak]

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

What sort of stuff do you want to swap for

[TOAD]

RIGHT THEN I SUGGEST ANYONE WHOS UP FOR THE SWAP KNOCKS UP A CD OR TWO IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO

ANY ONE WHOS NOT GOT ANY JAMAICAN MUSIC IS STILL WELCOME TO JOIN IN JUST MAKE IT AS INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE

THEY WILL RECIEVE JA SOUNDS FROM ME AND IM SURE OFF OTHERS. DONT WANT TO MAKE THIS ELITES AT ALL JUST HOPING YOUD ENJOY THE TUNES MANY WHICH WONT BE ON CDS OR REISSUES!

IT WILL BE A ONE FOR ONE SWAP

ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOME

[Biggordy]

Sorry I haven't been around much due to personal problems, but I'd deffo be up for swaps.

Form an orderly queue and no fighting at the back!

Drop me a message if interested.

Cheers

Gordy

I was just going to say, for the people who have nothing to swap, I'll send them something anyway, don't want anything back - I must have given away over 100 reggae ska rocksteady cd's on here in the last 4 years or so. I'll be up for the swap too but a) I don't want to swap with Gordy cos he's got everything I've got and b ) I don't want any Studio One or Coxsone stuff cos it's overrated and useless after 68 anyway

Edited November 9, 2007 by Pete S

[Biggordy]

I don't wanna swap with Smiffy cos he's a cheeky git who has his head stuck up Duke Reid's bum

Seriously though, here's how it works with me. I send soulies Jamaican stuff and they send me early 60s doo wop influenced soul goodness, mid tempo mid 60s stuff, deep soul, 60s/early 70s Latin stuff or R&B.

Absolutely NO modern!

Cheers

[Biggordy]

Thanks to the handful of people who've sent me PMs (and to the chap who's already sent me a CD). I just finished putting together a couple of discs of soulful Jamaican tunes (including some great covers of actual soul tunes*) and these will be winging their way to you this weekend.

(I didn't bother including the Silvertones' horrendous cover of "What's Wrong With Me Baby" on Studio 1, which was attempted in an NS style and ended up sounding like cheesy lift muzak).

Gordy

[Pete S]

I sent out 5 lots of cd's on tuesday (free, not for swaps) and only 2 people bothered to even say thanks so I don't think I'll bother in future.

[Biggordy]

That's why I stopped my podcasts mate.

Kudos to the people offering swaps but people who just take stuff and can't even say thanks get right on my man-tits.

Gordy

[Guest Pete Griffin]

Ok, im up for cd swaps, pm me your address and i will send them out the cd will contain, Ska,R&B,Sixties Soul ect, Sorry dont do 70s

[ChrisOD1964]

[Guest FrostyJak]

This is a great way to hear stuff i'm never gonna get to hear any other way, thanks for going to all the time & trouble.

THANKS AGAIN GENTS

Just in the middle of a week off from work & replaying disc you sent out to me.

CLASS STUFF thanks again

[ZapatootheTiger]

Count me in - I have loads of JA compilations I've made for myself and others. My latest one was a selection of mid-70s UK sevens that "moved" me back then - I've called it MUSIC SWEET.

Anyone interested, PM me and I'll sort summat out...

[ZapatootheTiger]

Absolutely NO modern!

Cheers

Gordy

According to Gordon, any Soul after 1975 is crap!

Miserable sod doesn't even like Soul-based Disco

[Biggordy]

Told ya mate, I like Good Times and Le Freak by Chic.

Only cos we used to rap over the instrumentals as kids mind

(Flippin' eck, rapping's almost been around 30 years - where's it all gone?)

Gordy

PS: Will be putting together a new CD in the near future - still got your addresses in my inbox!
