    Not if you were drinking in rounds with Roger Stewart it didn't Mind you knowing the barmaid Jan Clarke at the time an ex-pat from the West Midlands was also useful Dave

    Hi Guys, we thought this would be a popular release and the feedback we've recieved so far seems to back this up. Two strong 70's dancers on the back of David Washington's 'Games' (SJ522) release. As Marius has rightly said the Elbowed-Out soundfiles don't do the songs total justice,but unfortunately with some some of the unscrupulous souls around these days who'd prefer to rip a sound file off rather than buy a copy we have to try and protect ours and our artists interests at least prior to its initial release. But if you'd like to hear more tune into Solar, Starpoint plus many other radio soul stations who are hammering the hell out of it. Or if your going to Cleggy this weekend be sure to listen out for it. Have a nice day Dave Soul Junction

    Makes me wonder if the Just Brothers if discovered now would be held in such high regard by the current northern crowd who seem to think that Willie John's I'm Shakin' and Bob Sinclairs 'Tribute' is where it's at ? Dave P.S can we please get back to some real soul of which the Just Brothers is a perfect example.

    A catchy funky little dancer, that features David Bursey of the Candi-Bars ("I Believe In You/Your The One") and one time Esquire, although uncredited on lead vocals. See the David Bursey article in the SS article section. Dave

    Yes Andy "Games" is proving to be a popular choice with our Scottish Brothers and Sisters, so by the time the "True Soul Weekender arrives it should be regarded as a anthem. Better keep a copy back for Jocko (I'll get back to you later ) O'Connor before it sells out Dave

    Hi Andy The Joe Parker exists, It's Joe Parker & a group (forgotten the name) It's a really maniac version of the Uniques as mentioned, way, way to fast to dance to. Took me ages to sell it. Also had the Otis Scott, and I seem to remember having a third Tasco 45 too Dave

    Hi Andy as you can hear in David's interview unless your a young buck hip hop artist on a major label there's nothing happening for you stateside. That's why the work not only our selves (Soul Junction) but other labels, Kent, Daptone, Numero, Timion etc etc do should be supported wholeheartedly by genuine soul fans throughout the world. The obituary columns are growing longer and the material is getting harder to find in a physical format so the future is gonna be in the release of previously unissued masters, again for as long as they are obtainable. Dave

    Yep! and a record that's made more comebacks than George Best How many's that now that have gone through e-bay since Christmas Dave

    hi Steve Great list but didn't The Temps "You Got To Earn It" come out as the flip to " Since I Lost My Baby" on Gordy ? Edward Hamilton claimed that Cornelius Grant ( the songs co-writer ) had offer "You Got To Earn It" to him to record, but Edward refused the offer. Cornelius along with Pistol Allen had taken unoffical leave from Motown to play on Edward's "I'm Gonna Love You" Session Dave

    David Washington's "Games/Ready For Your Love " SJ522 is released today and is available from all the usual stockists. Dave

    Hi Andy I have my doubt's about James Lately and Calvin Golden being one and the same based on the fact that one of the the earlier copies that went through e-bay had a hand written press release( letter of provenance) from the producer Henry Watkins Jr which pointed out that the record had a recording fault (i.e at one point the recording stops dead which be can clearly heard). The letter/press release stated that although they intended to repress the 45 with the fault corrected, they had seen fit not to do so as Calvin had recently been killed in a car crash. Did any one on soul source win it and can post it up ? Dave

    Well Nick One of the many joys of owing a record label is the amount of free advise you recieve from armchair critic's ie "you don't do enough promotion" and in your case "We do to much" promotion But hey keep up the goodwork as the old saying goes "there's no such thing as bad publicity , cheers Have a nice day Dave Soul Junction

    Soul Junction have done it again with a superb release from former Chapter 8 vocalist David Washington. The single is an interpretation of a track he wrote that was recorded by Jimmy Scott called Games. The flip is a reworking of Chapter 8's Ready For Your Love.

    More information about "David Washington Games b/w Ready For Your Love"
    Press Release: David Washington “Games/Ready For Your Love” SJ 522 Release Date: Monday April 29th 2013 https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/david-washington-soul-junction David Washington is a multi talented singer, songwriter producer and musician (bass guitarist) who was one of the founding members along with Michael Powell of the legendary Detroit Group Chapter 8. Chapter 8 went on to recorded three highly acclaimed albums for major labels Ariola (1979) entitled “Chapter 8”. The “This Love’s For Real” Beverley Glenn (1985) and the “Forever “ album Capitol (1988) these albums and their subsequent 45 and12” singles secured Chapter 8 a cult following not only in Europe but Japan where they toured for 6 months at a time for 3 consecutive years. David Washington was also responsible for discovering Anita Baker whom he first heard singing with another local Detroit band “The Osmoses”. Following brief spells with female lead singers Carolyn Crawford and Barbara Love, Chapter 8 in 1978 were again in need of a new female vocalist and Baker fitted the bill. But Baker was to leave following the group being dropped by Ariola. When Anita Baker embarked on a solo career she did so under the tutelage of producer Michael Powell who enlisted David and other former Chapter 8 members to record on the Baker sessions, they also found success with Regina Bell, RJ’s latest Arrival, Marissa Rose and David Peaston, amongst others. David Washington has also worked and travelled the world with the likes of the Detroit Emeralds, The Fantastic Four, Joe Simon, Sam and Dave and The Dells whom Chapter 8 backed on their Detroit and national concerts. This opportunity came about through Tin Alison as he was the cousin of Marvin Junior the Dells baritone lead singer. Also, David, along with fellow Detroit musician Donny Lyle formed another group known as Quazer who also established a firm fan base in Japan. At one point Quazer looked to be close to signing a recording deal with CBS/Sony before a difference of opinion caused the group to split. Additionally, in 1999 David toured Europe with the British gospel singer Lavine Hudson. David then turned his back on the road life of a professional musician. Firstly, he operated his own pest control business before entering college where he attained a degree in information technology. David went on to work as a network specialist with his wife, Jeannine, in Japan that was until the tsunami hit. Upon his return to his native Detroit David rediscovered the urge to perform and record music once again, his first effort being a solo rework of the Chapter 8 classic “Ready For Your Love”, which we at Soul Junction records have since picked up for release along with David’s own brand new interpretation of the song “Games” which David previously wrote for former Fee recording artist, Jimmy Scott.
