Hi Folks The "Extra Rich In Soul" SJCD 5007 album is out today and is available from all the usual stockists, Soul Brothers, CrazyBeat, Simply Soul, Funky Feet, Juno, Soulstacks etc etc Or if you so wish directly from the Soul Junction website: www.souljunctionrecords.co.uk via the buy it now page. Last call on the J.B.Bingham SJ525 45as we only have a handfull left. Dave

Hi Pete I think you should add that you where standing next to Mick when he rang me at Prestatyn about BH.It just so happened that John (Anderson) and myself while having our breakfast where playing through a box of Philly acetates he had taken, working out the unissued ones from the issued. So after Mick's call we began to reminisce about the Benny Harper story again. Dave

Yes Pete It was me who actually told Mick to buy a copy off John in the first place. John circa 15 years ago, had hit a shop in Texas where he found circa 30-35 copies of Benny Harper. Due to the fact that the stores roof out back had a leak most of the copies he found although the vinyl was mint had varying degrees of water damage with only about 6-7 still remaining in mint condition. The mint copies were sold at £500.00( one of which I bought) with the others being discounted according to their label condition with the worst ones (i.e.KIrsty's recent sale)being eventually sold off at £200 each. The Irony is that the copy Kitch recently sold which if memory serves me right had no more than a 10% water label stain sells for just over £800.00 and has you can see from the previous scans on this thead one of the worst ones sell for £1500, unbelivable. Dave

Unless Mick is becoming senile he knew it was me we've been close friend since the mid 70's so there isn't much we don't know about each other believe me ! Dave

"Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You" ain't too shabby either

Just think of the royalties it will be earning Smokey ? Mind you it might get the Manchester Northern Soul dancers another TV gig Dave

Your forgiven Steve might be a idea to reserve a spare copy ATB Dave

OMG Andy How could I have ever forgotten the mercurial Frazer Dunn, one of Scotland's finest soulmen and last of the big time spenders I often joked about having to charge him airmail postage rates, but I bet he's starting to get worried now Dave

Hi Allan Are these prices in Dollars or Pounds Sterling ? Dave

Glad you like it Jerry your doing a sterling promotional job for us down there in Gloucestershire on your GFM breakfast soul show ably abieted on a Tuesday night by Mr Thorley's "Crossing The Tracks" show. Anyone wishing to hear more Soul Junction stuff can tune into Steve Guarnori's Friday night "Soul Time" show, Chico's Tudno soul Show, Bob Smith and Wayne Arbon's Sunday night soul Soirée, Mick O'Donnell's Soul Discovery earlier sunday night show or Paul Cater on Ambersound amongst others Checkout the links and playlists in the Soul ,Video, Auudio section on soul source N.B. It would appear that the cd has reactivated some renewed interest in Natural Impulses "We're Gonna Make It Through" judging by the e-mails we have recieved today, sadly the 45 is long deleted so people will have to make do with the cd I'm afraid. Dave

Now that's what I call a domestic! Dave

Great show Steve Dave

Nice woolly hat Compo

It's refreshing to see so many new and recent new releases getting a mention but how many of them are getting anywhere near the extensive airplay they deserve out on their respective scene's A top tip for 2014 might for more Dj's to be a bit braver and ignore the incessant diatribe against new releases and and anthing less than 100mph, could 2014 be the year when the soul gets put back into Northern ? Dave

Nice one Chalky I might be biased somewhat but I still think there's plenty of legs left in : The Coalitions (the whole album) David Washington Games August Heat You & Me Elbowed-Out Taking A Step (watchout for their follow up 45 in 2014 too) Dave
