"Don Varner new CD Album titled "Finally Go Over!" on the UK Label SHOUT! will be released on May 30th 2005. It is also already available online for pre-ordering... Here are some clips of announcements about the upcoming release: This series represents RPMs foray into what In The Basement magazine calls Real Soul and R&B, primarily from the 60s, but with some crossover into the '50s and '70s. SHOUT! was chosen as an imprint name from its connotations with the Isley's hit, also the Shout label subsidiary of Bert Berns Bang label, and last but not least because label co-chief Clive Richardson used to publish a Soul magazine in the '70s called...Shout. The logo design is somewhere between the original Shout and Minit label designs. You can reach us at: Shout Records, P.O.Box 49215, London SE12 9XF. Email us at shout.r-@btinternet.com New and Forthcoming on Shout! "...we are very pleased to announce the May release of DON VARNER - "Finally Got Over - Deep Soul From The Classic Era", comprising a comprehensive selection of southern soul ballads and beat recorded in the mid/late 1960's by this great but under-rated baritone-voiced soul man, released by kind agreement with and full co-operation of his widow, Mrs Francine Varner. This CD will be issued on RPMSH 299, and full details of the 23 tracks will be advised shortly." Album Details "Don Varner Had a Powerful Baritone Voice and Could Sing Rasping Uptempo Items and Pleading Ballads with Equal Quality of Performance. Shout Records have Pleasure in Presenting the First Comprehensive CD Collection by One of the True Giants of Southern Soul, with the Assistance and Endorsement of his Widow. The Re-issue Production was Co-ordinated by Clive Richardson, who Commissioned Booklet Notes from David Cole, Editor of in the Basement, the Specialist Soul Magazine, and who Conducted the Last Interview with Don Varner Before his Tragic Death in 2002. Includes all Don Varners Recordings Released on the Quinvy and South Camp Labels, plus the Unreleased Material, and Are Truly Uncut Southern Soul Gems from 1968-1974."

I of course took no notice of the first part of his sentence and jumped in feet first, though some may say perhaps deserved one foot for posting up a strong view without seeing it all.... maybe Bobby Womacks bit after the clip on rolling stones made me smile, went along lines of when i first heard their version, I hated them when I saw the royality cheques I loved them mike

you serious ??? thought it was obvious why they showed that clip

Cheers for views, aint got time at moment to do ought major so was more of a case of sounding out for future tweaks understand what Dans is saying, as in making space for a sounds section but theres both pros and cons on the sound thing, and not convinced yet. see thread in site news for more (thinking about it will move this thread there as well in a moment or two) on wants - think trick would be that everyone entered their want in a format in the title, say artist-title-label as in each forum you can choose a default of how list of posts are displayed - time, alphabetical, etc etc could do it to display say alphabetical and could do the job however... and its a big however! it would mean that everyone must follow this format ! call me a pessimist but going by overall way see some use site, think be hoping a bit for that to happen suppose it boils down to choice of a loose or structured format in end, with benifits and down bits of each mmmm... anyway as said thanks for view, views from those out there always worthwhile and will move this later into site info bit mike

Lookback At Monkey Llandudno Sat 07th May 3 years since the very first monkey and could say things have changed a bit since those days! One slight change, that there is a slight chance some may have noticed, is that the main nights have moved. No more hanging out in the good old borderlands, instead have moved about 50 miles away to the North Wales coast in Llandudno Thanks to Chico's fine efforts a new venue has been sorted, well say new but as it is The Penrhyn Old Hall in Llandudno, some may say “revived” as was the home of the highly rated soul nights that were held there around 7 years ago. The venue is a large listed 16th century manor hall here, and while on the outside it looks just like that, once inside the building there is a bit of a tardis effect. The dance complex part is purpose made for such an event, dj booth, a unusual floor and layout, all a bit different from the usual but sort of tailor made if know what I mean, and have to say that apart from Chico having to do a bit of tomfoolery with the sound system, any night which after 10 mins of turning up the venue is ready to roll is a most welcome change! Crowd wise was great to have such a good turn out for the first one at a new location, and had many dmsc regulars showing up, which along with many new faces got this new series of events off to a flying start with a fresh vibe. Thanks to all the travelers who made the trip from all over- Chester , Kent, Hampshire, Wirrall, Manchester, Midlands, Yorkshire and so on and of course thanks to all those from North Wales. Sounds wise, guest for this one was Andy Dyson who did a great set, rest of the dj line up was as per the flyer/plays below and going by ears and eyes( as in floor reaction and feedback both on and after night ) did the business. Grabbed a mixed grab bag of sounds from all involved on night give idea of what was thrown out Andy Dyson Dennis Edwards- Johnny On The Spot- Int Soulville Rita+Tiaras - Suprise -C/Up 4 Dynamics-Things That A Lady Ain't Supposed To Do- Peachtree J.J .Jackson - Too Much Love-C/Up Jerry Williams -Ordinary Girl - C/Up Emory + Dynamics -Let's Take A Look -Peachtree Flirtations- Stronger Than Her Love- Festival Mark Speakman Prophets - One Gold Piece - SHRINE Margaret Little - Love Finds A Way - GREENBRO Billy Arnell - Tough Girl - HOLLY Jackie Day - Naughty Boy - PHELECTRON Fuzz - I'm So Glad - CALLA Paul Anka - I Can't Help Lovin' You - RCA Billy Arnell - Don't Stop The World - C/U Topics - Rose - Acetate Steve Thomas trey jays - i found a love in you dream girl -spiedels twinkle little star -parisans try my love- Tony & The Showmen delegates of soul cover up Phil Blacknell The Fabulous Apollo's-The One Alone-Val tone Ella woods-I need your love-Merging Annabelle Fox-Lonely Girl-Satin Johnny Truit-Just the other day-Abet The Topics-Booking up Baby-Mercury Minnie Jones-Shadow of a memory-Sugar Delegates of Soul-I'll be coming back -Uplook Moses Smith - Keep on Striving-Cotillion Flowers-For real-Laxpressio Bill Brandon- The streets got my lady-Piedmont Ritchie Andrew Frankie & the Damons Man from soul JCP.

Anyway thanks to all who were there, djs, event staff, door team and of course all who come in thru door, all feedback have had is was a great nite, to me place had a great buzz, crowd was up for it and up amongst best monkeys have had. Next definite one at Old Hall is Friday 27 Aug (gap due to summer) and looks like going to be a big one as can be billed either as first time at monkey for Soul Sam (dj-ing not as a punter that is) or can be classed as a welcome return to the Old Hall for him! few words on nite from Janine and Dave and a few pics in Janines album Thanks to Colin and Jean for hospitality afterwards, think Dave and Janine were the furthest travellers, and was good to catch up again with loads

Most members have took notice of the request to try and get the balance of off topic posts right, however its a pain to see one which was going well been damaged this way by a few members. "Interesting threads" are the lifeblood of this forum, to see one being choked by a few members, who for some reason think its ok to post up a constant stream of off topic/in-jokes/chat, is annoying and is unacceptable. These recent off topic posts are out of order to the topic starter, and to the members who have contributed or are following the thread and are out of order to the forum itself. Thread is now open, the three members involved in the last spate of off topic posts should be aware that if similar occurs action will be taken

thread closed for a bit due to the amount of recent off topic posts
