MANY THANKS FOR ALL THE BOTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SUBJECT..How to proceed first of it jumps out at you at the quality of the black music that has train or a referance to it in the title my guess it is so popular as it represent movement for for black poeple in the USA and WEST INDIES IN MOST CASES IT MAKES YOU LISTEN TO THE RYTHM AND THE THE MESSAGE THAT IS SUNG TO IT right back to the days of theBlues the harmonica gave the simple rythm of a train beat which is most prominant on discs that come from bellow the Mason Dixon Line & the West Indies the message is that we will keep moveing and if you think about it its quite spitual in its meaning from the days of slavery the message has of liberation and indeed emancipation that the message will travel faster by music than by reading it as you are aware most black poeple did not recieve the standared of education that was on offer to white poeple in the southern states the train message took over from the work & chain gangs made the rythm by hammering in time and adding a song to it and at the right time stop and steart again this stop start rythem was tailor taylor made in the development of R&B and even in the UK in SKifle music and has progress in black music right up till today in that it is essential to have a brake in the tune.

In Jamacan Ska & reggae once again if you listen to the tune the rythem is alway to the forfront as most of the poeple would find out the news from the recordes that they listened to So to conclude i would sudjest that the rythem means more than it would at first apeer represents movement for the blackman away from the position they are in the Freedom Train ect also all the outher simmular records that have travel in the river songs the horse the mule and even walking.

As promissed i will complete what i think arethe best and rareist and i intend to contact ACE and sanctry records to see what they can come up with by demand. if you have further ideas as what is the meaning of soul as there are many but whats your bag what hits the spot I say its the rythm of movement to freedom once again many thanks for keeping this topic going i will report back DAVE KIL

Sanctuary were swallowed up by the monolith that is Universal Music Group over a year ago now, Dave.

I doubt you'd get even a response from them (UMG)...although Laurence Cane-Honeysett and Nick Bourne are doing JA-related stuff for UMG.
