One of Soul Sams More Progessive Funky Plays. Heres what Andy Noble of Lotus Land Records has to say, P.J. City, ?Straight Forward? It?s a gospel 45 from the mid ?80s, from Chicago. It?s kind of an undiscovered record; we?re actually in the process of licensing it for Lotus Land right now. It?s just amazing. First and foremost, it?s a really great dance track. It?s a gospel record, but it?s very difficult to tell. One thing I?m into a lot are gospel records that don?t talk literally about Jesus, but sort of allude to the Bible. ?Straight Forward? has this weird philosophical lyric over a great early ?80s, black disco track.

unfortunatly downtime was more than 5 mins due to an unexpected automatic programme kicking in x 3

as it says

another day and still more threats and rubbish via the usual means from this character due to the nature of his latest threats am temporary closing this thread

This record is one of the sound tracks of my youth. On the dance floor of Stafford at 17 years old absolutely transfixed with this sound. No one danced the traditional northern soul way. It was an eclectic mix of up-tempo new sounds and wonderfully orchestrated mid-tempo and left field (just above) beat ballads that set this place apart from the others. i truelly believe that the scene at stafford set the blueprint for the future of northern soul. With records like Matt Brown (which i incidentally used to put the b side 'i want to thank you' on tapes for people back 1984 realising it was a very special record. Records like these gave birth to the term 'cross over' which believe me to my great dissapointment is an extremely detremental phrase now days as it seems to be very much demoted to the side lines compared to the absolute rubbish that is termed as (so called) 'R&B'. which to my absolute disgust is winning the race for dance floor popularity. I have lived with the term R&B as a musical term nearly all my life and i am extremely proud to patronise this word as it lives in all of us soul fans. But (and this is where I explode) i pour absolute scorn on records that are dated, poppy (ie rubbish white popcorn) crass near pseudo rock and roll do forgive me but i think i am going to explode now and throw my key board out the window giving this subject time. Stop the rubbish R&B NOW. Unless your too old to dance to proper Soul that is. View the full item

caught the last 20 mins of Karl H spot on Sunday thought was superb - everything seemed to come together (sounds. crowd, atmosphere) giving out a most enjoyable experience any one else have any thumbs up nominations

Ian Levine was caught red handed At the same time he was sending legal threats to site He was caught out using his account on here to send pms to other members asking them to post links in an attempt to enflame a thread about his new cd release Given the sh**ty personal abuse and threats he has sent me since via pm and emails, and have appeared elsewhere was going to reply in kind However, on a bright and sunny september morning have come to the conclusion he's just not worth the time and effort His recent actions have just finally said what many have suspected all along After discussion with all the moderating team action has been decided His account has been suspended for the foreseeable future (eg will look at it in future if felt needed)
