  13. NEED A CHRISTMAS OR BIRTHDAY PRESENT? WE'VE GOT YOU SORTED! When I first discussed writing a book with Weldon A McDougal III, he was adamant that the story of Philadelphia’s ascendancy, as a ‘soul town’ should be told as he called it, ‘properly’. I’d already written Weldon’s story as part of The Harthon Trio – A Dyno-Dynamic Tale and published that piece in Issue #4 of There’s That Beat a couple of years earlier, but Weldon kept badgering me to ‘get it all down Dave, the whole kit and caboodle!’. For those that know Weldon he was a larger than life character who always had a penchant for looking on the bright side of life and over the years his insistence on me writing a book about Philly Soul grew. I started making a few notes and put together a list of topics that would need to be included but then tragedy struck. My mate Weldon passed away. I shelved the project and went back to real life for a while until I was contacted by a guy in Sweden who owned a publishing company and had worked at CBS when the Philadelphia International Records company went global. Wilhelm from Premium Publishing in Stockholm had bought ‘There’s That Beat!’ and wanted to know if I was interested in being commissioned to write a book about….. Philly Soul! Karma or what? I toyed with the idea and eventually contacted Jason Thornton my friend and partner in There’s That Beat! and asked him if he thought we could pull it off. We were both, and always have been, conscious of the fact that projects we get involved in have to have production values that stand in quality next to the music we love and after a few weeks mulling it over we decided that because of our affiliation with so many Philadelphian music makers, we would accept the challenge. But we would do it our way, in full glossy colour, with as many pages as it took! And so, began a near 6 year journey of research, interviews, hunting down people, artefacts, records and other memorabilia. When the call went out for assistance, it was met by an avalanche of goodwill from Record collectors and archivists all over the world, many soul-sourcers included. As the project developed I made a few trips to Philadelphia and to the people there that showed immense patience with this quirky ‘Brit’, trudging round their city, who wanted every single i dotted and t crossed, I will be forever grateful. As I drafted the text of the chapters, Jason, whose graphic layout skills are well known to There’s That Beat! readers, pored over the material in order to present it as we wanted and the book began to take shape. Whilst writing the book quite a few influential Philly musical figures have passed away and I like to think that as time went on, despite the pressure to ‘publish and be damned’ a number of times, Jason and I held out, determined to present the stories as we planned. And so now in September 2016 the first edition of THE PHILLY SOUND : It’s Roots and History. All 690 full colour, A4, glossy pages is available. The new book is now available to pre-order for a cost of £45 + £6 Shipping within UK. It ain’t cheap, but then quality never is and this tombstone of a book weighs in at 3.5kgs! If you would like to order a copy for delivery next week : Email me at : hitsville2648@earthlink.net. Drop me a message here on Soul-Source Join the books facebook page at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1585027708465960/ or search out The PHILLY SOUND book. Payment is via Paypal to : hitsville2648@live.com (Friends and Family please) Or Bank Transfer (Details available from me) They say a picture paints a thousand words and so I have created a video for folks to see the book before they decide to order one or not. Although every single person who contributed to the project is acknowledged in the book, I’d just like to thank every ‘Soul-sourcer’ that stepped up, with a scan, a story, a lead, a phone number etc . The soul world at its best! Thank you. The Book and the Harthon teams
  14. I've had mine for a few years now and have constantly re-read chapters of this book. It documents The Chitlin' Circuit like no other book I've ever read. A must have for anyone who wants to scrape past the veneer and really get to grips with the true details of what has become a Mythical route around America. Regards, Dave
  15. I have the White Demo to the Red Monarch Press. I rate both these 45s as much harder to find than the multicoloured ones. Regards, Dave
  16. Well done Chalky Lad. Impressive story and the photos are fantastic! The WIGS! Brilliant photo! Soul Source and it's members come up trumps again! Many thanks for posting. Regards, Dave
  17. Hi Frankie, Not from me. Not unless I start doing 28 hour days! 6 years on one project is WAY TOO LONG! ;-) Regards, Dave
  18. Guys, here's a peek inside the book. PHILLY BOOK VIDEO Regards, Dave
  19. Yep, if you email hitsville2648@earthlink.net you ca n receive all the ordering details which should be in place next week. Dave
  20. The Book is a totally different project Paul. There are obviously a few people that were featured in the mag issues (The Harthon guys for instance), but the info is updated and expanded in those one or two cases. Regards, Dave
  21. Channel 3 on Dakar. Numerous copies every month show. Still sat on dealers 'online' shelves with 'daft' prices stuck on 'em. Go back in another 6 months.... they'll still be there! LOL! Regards, Dave
  22. A Spanish TV Crew asked if they could film a documentary of 2 young Spanish fans 'soul journey' during the Benidorm International Soul Fiesta in May. I know the 2 Spanish lads very well and agreed. Both Mick H and myself were interviewed and managed not to make horses asses out ourselves and the 2 Spanish lads did equally well but sure as eggs are eggs it was all interspersed with 'rinse and repeat' footage from This England. Even AFTER explaining to the producer and the front man that that was a false image of what we're about nowadays. If there was visually impacting, vintage film or video of TOTW, 100 Club, etc they'd use it. Anything that has a visual impact. Thing is... media folks are ONLY interested in visual imagery. Any substance or intimate detail, if perchance it does materialise in any production, is more by fluke than design. Dave
  23. Caught him on TV this morning.... anyone know who his white, middle aged, piano player is.... completely stole the show! Besrt I;ve heard in a couple of decades! Dave
