Recorded on Sunday 8th October.Special guests Wax Poetics' David Holt for his debut session joined by COTB regular, Mark ‘Daddy Bones’ Allbones. Wax Poetics has been the Black-music bible for vinyl diggers since its launch in 2001. Twenty years in, and the original team had grown weary, so London-based David Holt stepped in with a Kickstarter-funded campaign and took the reins. Since the relaunch under his stewardship, Wax Poetics has seen a return to the enthusiastic, in-depth coverage of music that we love, and each issue goes from strength to strength.

Here is something a a bit different. The children have the 'Boiler Room' video platform! But for us adults and serious music people there is a wonderful platform with an incredible array of diverse sounds from across the world. Plenty to discover. Strictly Vinyl on an audiophile system from those with a real passion for music, for connoisseurs. Here is my attempt to represent 'our' music we play at Color One Tear Black - Sweet, Deep, Steppers, Lowrider & Gospel. Hope you enjoy. It was a nightmare to chose 45mins from thousands of records.

The Five Royals - Gonna Keep Lovin' You (unreleased full length version & Instrumental from original tapes with Picture in Sleeve) £20 Cosmic Force - Why Don't Love (Make a everything Right) P-Vine remastered reissue 45. £20 The Topics - God & You (P-Vine 45) £20 DM me to reserve and for postage prices outside UK.

For those that missed Color One Tear Black Soul Club with Chris Huggins & Any Etheridge. Killer Sets!!! Next one on Sunday 13th August, Color One Tear Black welcomes Chris Peckings for his first guest spot, and COTB extended-family member, Yann Vatiste, back. Chris Peckings musical history goes way back. In the 1950s his father George ran with Coxsone Dodd in West Kingston, Jamaica, years before Coxsone's first recordings at 13 Brentford Road, home of his Studio One label. George moved to London in 1960 and was then single-handily responsible for getting Coxsone-produced 45s into the hands of London’s sound system owners and operators. In 1974 he opened the legendary Peckings record shop at 142 Askew Road, Shepherd's Bush, West London. Now at 81 Askew Road, the shop is still going strong today, and is run by Chris and his brother Duke. Chris, like so many Jamaican music men also has deep love and knowledge of soul music, especially two step and group harmony, the root of rocksteady. We are very much looking forward to his selection. Yann Vatiste is a stalwart of the London soul scene, and the man behind the Soul Devotion and Va Va Voom. In the last few years, Yann’s Epsilon label has consistently issued incredible ‘lost’ soul music, which is either previously unreleased or ultra-rare. It’s always an education when Yann plays. COTB residents Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill and JM will also be spinning alongside Chris Peckings and Yann Vatiste on 13th August. Set up in February 2016 by Thierry Cochet, AKA Dr. Kruger (nts radio), Color One Tear Black celebrates group harmony, mellow steppers, sweet and deep soul music, all played on original issue vinyl by resident DJs Dr Kruger, Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill, JM and monthly guests. COTB runs on the second Sunday of each month at The Paradise, 19 Kilburn Lane, London. W10 4AE. Color One Tear Black on Sunday, 13th August Guest DJs: Chris Peckings and Yann Vatiste COTB resident DJs playing: Claire Kalvis, Jim Edwards, David Hill, JM Thank you. Very kind.

Chris has spun at COTB in the past, and those lucky enough to have heard his 45s selection will understand how special this is. As if that weren’t enough, Andy Etheridge will also guest alongside Chris, in what will be a must-hear session for true soul connoisseurs.
