  5. strange one this, may have been due to a setting change this end ?? if was should be solved if having probs still, try hitting F5 to refresh browser if that doesnt solve it let us know ta mike
  6. Think anyone could be hard pushed to give the definitive history of soul, espically going by the many different takes have on it on here going by what read earlier on here, does seem to me that should be better quality than the vh1/mtv sort of 5 min things see now and again Here's what was published on soul source a couple of weeks ago by some involved in it Just to let you know that the Beeb will be transmitting Soul Deep from Saturday 7th May on BBC2 at 9pm. There are six programmes in the series, roughly broken down as:- Prog 1: Rhythm & Blues Prog 2: Gospel to Soul Prog 3: Detroit and Chicago (largely Motown and Chess soul but with some Curtis) Prog 4: Southern Soul Prog 5: Funk Prog 6: Contemporary R&B We helped out on the Southern one and I have seen a rough copy of the show and it is good with interviews, contemporary footage including unseen film of James Carr singing Love Attack which we put them on to and some re-enactments of the last hours of Otis Redding and the life of James Carr. The producer and crew are the same people behind the gospel and country series already shown on BBC2 so it is excellent quality. Best wishes Colin Keeping Soul Alive Limited
  7. may have been a bit of a glich with sounds on site ?? not sure how long or how wide but seem to be working ok now

  10. quite a bit its called discussion you started off with mp3s cds etc, and the discussion moved on
  11. Pete yeah sure he had two unissued Carol Anderson tracks from same session, and played them at one of early monkeys, can't dig the full details of them at moment however got a feeling they may have since been featured on a recent grapevine cd release ?? not sure but will try and dig deeper later hope helps mike
  12. just re-upped the magret little clip up here for those who didnt clock it first time up on here its from the time Soul Sam played it on JazzFM show At a guess think Mark Speakman be giving this a play at Saturdays Monkey /index.p...md=si&img=5366&
  13. Thanks to Grapevine have got a decent clip of this unissued track from Labeat master tape! Heard Keith Money playing last week it at the most excellent just gone Dublin event and have to say it pricked up me ears, and after playing this clip a few more times, it certainly does take on the form of a "gets even better with each hear" killer track Believe 4 djs playing this track out and about, Keith Money , Ady C and... two more (ack the other two names have gone spongy at moment will add once 100% sure right) Seems its due to be released in future along with other unissued tracks on a forthcoming Labeat CD, so keep a eye on the Grapevine website and of course on here for info on that release https://www.grapevine-soul.com clip is up in the "rare, indemand, talked about" section of the soul source sound sbit here /index.p...cmd=si&img=5367
  14. on sounds on site posted up a q about the gallery v forum in members section any views ? feel free
  15. just threw clip up in the gallery here /index.p...y&cmd=sc&cat=81 along with a couple of other harvey averne tracks their version of "wishing and hoping" (prefer-this) and also an instru called the word this is down as a lennon/mcartney tune, often wonder what/who did the orig of this - anyone any pointers?
  16. had to smile at the use of this term its used in a article on a sweet floral albion site TOY TOWN SOUL: Those tracks once played at the Wigan Casino in the second-half of the '70s but which fell out of favour with the Northern soul scene's snobbish reaction against white pop-stompers and a return to black-only US soul, often provide the richest vein for this magical sub-genre. The Northern Soul scene was always way ahead of psych collectors in unearthing those golden Brit-pop nuggets. It is also interesting to take note of the sounds on these pre-1967 pop-soul tracks and to recognise the influence of such material on the toy-town pop of 1967 and 1968. Other good examples of toytown soul/pop are, Sue Lynne - 'Don't Pity Me', Paula Parfitt - 'Love Is Wonderful', Five And A Penny - 'You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies' and Adrienne Posta's version of 'Something Beautiful'. Adrienne takes a fine mid-tempo US soul original (by Margaret Mandolph) and transforms it into a twee and chirpy Brit-pop dancer. What it loses in genuine, serious soulfulness it more than makes up in happy tweety swinging poppiness. In fact, it is a genre distinction of toytown soul that it lacks overt seriousness, that the soul element be minimised in favour of out-and-out pop..... full article in which above is clipped can be found at the SWEET FLORAL ALBION SITE on this page https://homepage.ntlworld.com/marmaladeskies/sfa36.htm also pysch northern gets a mention on other page below *** IT'S ONLY A NORTHERN PSOUL, by Paul Hodges *** https://homepage.ntlworld.com/marmaladeskies/sfa22.htm
  17. had to remove the links to nick rennies bootlegging site as per the guidelines simple fact is rennie openly sells custom diy cdrs of all the tracks on his site -see previous posts this is illegal and as such links to this or similar bootlegging sites are not welcome ta mike
  18. if cutting and pasting stuff always ask that give credit from where got it from as in site/source link and so on ta mike
  19. post deleted suggest some members read the guidelines wanna flog tacky mp3 cds then f*** *** elsewhere
  20. have to say am suprised that after Vics reply, some thought it be worthwhile posting did think that after both members had their say, matter could be closed and all move on

  23. Hey controversial wasn't the issue As said I thought that this thread was going down road of slagging off scenes Yeah sure bit of a windup/crack is good laugh, but can almost guarantee that some old northern/caister head on reading this thread would feel obliged to join in with similar posts. Then before know it, end up with a couple of pages of slagging down. Thats why comments posted If got any issues about moderation on here, works better if pm site rather than do it online
