Heard word that Ficton Factory films have been producing a welsh language drama series for S4C, (the welsh language version of Channel 4) which has soul related content Been told that he series is planned to be shown in October and it'll be called 'Caerdydd' Not 100% sure of just how strong the soul content is but believe it has club scenes along with record shop scenes, apart from that details as usual all a bit vague, do believe a soul source member had been involved and so maybe more info soon

Admittedly only among a few select residences dotted around the north of the UK and the odd foreign outpost, but the cry "Go and put some Mirwood on Agnes" is as common up there as "Do you want a cuppa Arbuthnot?" That's because two generations of Northern Soul devotees have been brought up, while dandled on their mother's knee, to the sounds of Jackie Lee, Bobby Garrett and the Olympics playing on the phonogram. To research the label properly was therefore a daunting task. This wasn't just a group of records that happened to come out under the same brand name, but a musical sound that has determined a way of life for thousands of people who like their soul music fast and viberant (sic). Unfortunately what has been written about the label has been either sparse, speculative or utter balderdash. To put that right and to maintain Kent's high standards, I've been locked away in a garret (no relation) at Ace Towers to plough through the reams of paperwork that fortunately came with the label's purchase. Given access only to a toilet, tripe and onions, Eccles cakes and a direct line to five hand-picked soul gurus, I've come up with eight thousand words of wisdom which includes 914 facts and two jokes. I pray it was worth it: God (better known as Fred Smith), will be my judge. The North's love affair with Mirwood started innocuously enough with a cool dance number called The Duck. The singer Jackie Lee happened to have been one half of a successful male soul duo called Bob & Earl. His partner Bobby Garrett also recorded for the label as a solo act, with just the occasional recording together. The Duck was a big US hit and saw a lot of life in England's trendier discotheques in 1966. The follow up album sold well too, but hidden among the tracks was the blueprint for what would become the Mirwood sound. Producer Fred Smith along with arranger James Carmichael used the LP to develop their own house style and tracks like Do The Temptation Walk, The Shotgun And The Duck, Everybody Jerk and even re-cycled old hits like Hully Gully and The Bounce were given this brand new groove. The sound was urgent but smooth, with a relentless beat that was enhanced and bewitched by the celestial sound of vibes. They completed and polished off this beautiful gem of a sound and discerning soul fans became aware that a new dimension had been added to the discotheque sounds..... more of background can be read at ace site here

New Releases for MARCH 2005 from Ace Records BOYD BENNETT / Rockin' Up A Storm - Best Of The King Recordings - ACE - CDCHD 1039 Boyd Bennett's standing in rock'n'roll is forever assured, thanks to his 1955 hit Seventeen - a record that he had to fight hard to get released, and one that eventually sold more than a million copies. He never had another hit of comparable size, but he and his Rockets made a bunch of records that are treasured by rock'n'roll collectors everywhere - especially those who like to dance. more The LAMPLIGHTERS / Loving, Rocking, Thrilling - The Complete Federal Recordings - ACE - CDCHD 1040 Of the many, many groups who recorded for the King/Federal/DeLuxe group of labels during the 1950s, few are as deserving of their own legally-licensed compact disc as the Lamplighters. Although just about all their recordings have been reissued in years gone by (with inferior sound and presentation) on bootlegs, "Loving, Rocking, Thrilling" marks the first time that their entire discography has been reissued from pristine transfers that have been made directly from the original master tapes. They have not sounded this good - well, probably ever. more EARLY GIRLS Vol 4 - ACE - CDCHD 1045 We've arrived at Volume 4 of this delicious series, so we're used to the recipe by now - very feminine, and extremely tasty. The formula ain't no secret. Start by gathering and preparing your ingredients, then proceed as follows:For starters, carefully blend together: Brenda Lee's Dum Dum, one of several compositions gifted to Little Miss Dynamite by a certain Jackie DeShannon:... more B.B. King / Singin' The Blues - ACE - CDCHM 1041 Step forward the eighth set in Ace's mid-price series of vintage B.B. King recordings based on his albums released on the Crown label. Between 1957 and 1963, the Bihari brothers' dime store label released 12 albums, comprised of singles from their RPM and Kent labels, tracks from the vaults, plus dedicated album sessions.more Elmore James / Blues After Hours - ACE - CDCHM 1043 For those who had thought that Ace Records had "done it all" when they issued the definitive collection of Elmore James' early recordings on a 3 CD box set over ten years ago (The Classic Early Recordings 1951-1956, ABOXCD 4), that is not so. Blues and rock fans will find much to celebrate with Elmore's "Blues After Hours", the latest must-have instalment in Ace's Crown LP reissues on CD (see also the B.B. King, Howling Wolf and Jimmy Witherspoon releases in the series).more The VANGUARD FOLK ROCK ALBUM - BIG BEAT - CDWIKD 248 When folk merged with rock to form the explosive new hybrid known as folk rock in the mid-1960s, Vanguard Records found itself literally in the vanguard of the new movement, probably at least as much by happenstance as design. The label was already enjoying more commercial success with folk music than any other indie, largely on the back of superstar Joan Baez, but also bolstered by such innovators and solid sellers as Buffy Sainte-Marie and Ian & Sylvia. more MIRWOOD SOUL STORY - KENT - CDKEND 237 Strangely enough Mirwood is a household name. Admittedly only among a few select residences dotted around the north of the UK and the odd foreign outpost, but the cry "Go and put some Mirwood on Agnes" is as common up there as "Do you want a cuppa Arbuthnot?" That's because two generations of Northern Soul devotees have been brought up, while dandled on their mother's knee, to the sounds of Jackie Lee, Bobby Garrett and the Olympics playing on the phonogram. more DORIS DUKE / I'm A Loser, The Swamp Dogg Sessions - KENT - CDKEND 242 'A Legend In Her Own Time' could be an overblown statement when applied as the title to an artist's second album, especially when the debut made no greater dent than #39 on the Billboard R&B album chart during a nine-week run. However, when related to the magnificent Doris Duke, the title is well-deserved. The man or woman in the street may have ignored that debut set - "I'm A Loser" issued on Canyon 7704 in 1970 - but it got the soul world a-buzzing and anxious to know more about her. Investigation proved that Doris had been around a longer than first thought: her debut recording had been on the small Hy-Monty label under her (then) married name of Doris Willingham. more JOAN BAEZ / Live At Newport - VANGUARD - VCD 77015 JOAN BAEZ AT NEWPORT is an invaluable addition to Joan Baez's impressive body of recordings. The performances present Joan Baez in her natural element. To listen to that voice which, 37 years after her Newport Folk Festival debut, is still a pleasure to hear, reminds us why Joan Baez's music continues to endure.more DOC WATSON & SON - VANGUARD - VMD 79170 DOC WATSON's only son, Merle, had just turned fifteen when he started to play the guitar. His Dad had left on the longest tour he had ever taken and expected to be gone for two months or more. By the time Doc got back home, Merle was able to play finger style guitar with a thumb pick and he could back up a fiddle with a flat pick as solidly as any fiddler could hope for. more CAMILLE YARBROUGH / The Iron Pot Cooker - VANGUARD - VMD 79356 If you were looking for an easy way of summing up Camille Yarbrough it might be difficult. Her life has seen her take on many different careers: she has been a dancer, poet, actor, writer of children's literature, and a recording artist. To most she may be best known as the voice on Fatboy Slim's Praise You which used a sample from Take Yo' Praise from THE IRON POT COOKER. more FOLK HITS - VANGUARD - VMD 79510 more FOLK DUETS - VANGUARD - VMD 79511 more JOAN BAEZ / Joan - VANGUARD - VMD 79720 The emotional tug-of-war endured by JOAN BAEZ in the aftermath of her ill-fated trip to England with Bob Dylan in April-May 1965 would end up turning into one of the most profound segues of her recording career. Temporarily estranged from both Dylan and the hard rockin' scene which now informed his personal life and his music, Baez recorded three fascinating LPs during 1966-67 with classically trained arranger-conductor-composer Peter Schickele.more ________________________________________________________________________________ _ Produced by Ace Records Ltd eTrack is a monthly newsletter which you have asked to subscribe to by entering your email address at www.acerecords.co.uk
