Join me tonight on https://www.dublab.com/ at 8pm US PST (4am UK GMT Saturday morning) as I welcome another guest from outside of the crew to the 45 Live Radio Show. We're heading Southeast where we find the enviable collection of one of the home counties favorite sons; ANDY COBB His knowledge of rare soul is encyclopedic & reaches back to the early days of clubs like the 100 in London. He's spent as much of his life in Los Angeles & CA where he perfected the art of foraging for the black gold, as he has in his home town of Norwich. Many rare soul pieces have been unearthed by the fellow, including Karmello Brooks on Milestone. Over the years, he's dipped into modern, crossover, classic Northern & big 'Nighter sounds. These days, he's reachin' for the rare soul, searchin' out the underplayed goodness. You can find him across the UK at nights such as Dark Horses & the fabled 6T's 'Nighters at the 100. We're excited to see a glimpse of what's in his bag. Your host Greg Belson bookends the set, firin' up the funk canons & droppin' some dynamite for the club! This is 45 Live!

Join me on dublab.com on Saturday 22nd June 2024 @ 10am US PST (6pm UK GMT) https://www.dublab.com/ Back in 1975, when the Staples Jr. Singers were just teenagers growing up in the small, rural town of Aberdeen, Mississippi, they make an LP together, : When Do We Get Paid. They paid for the record themselves and pressed a few hundred copies, selling most of them on their front lawn to their neighbors. Fast forward to 2010 & the discovery by Greg Belson of their first 45 record on the Brenda label, which soon led to finding a copy of said LP, that in turn was used by Luaka Bop for their lovingly crafted reissue. In October 2023, when the family gathered in a single-room church in West Point, Mississippi, called The Message Center. There, across the street from Annie’s house, they played songs they had written nearly fifty years before — though now they carried a different message. Check out this link for further enlightenment; https://www.luakabop.com/artists/staples-jr-singers And you can purchase the LP from all good leading retail outlets. Essential Digs Getting Dug.

Part 2 of my UK Tour dates takes flight next week....here's where you can find me at the clubs or over the airwaves. Still a coupla pending TBC's that will hopefully get confirmed asap. Join me for one or all!
