fair point, I sposse what I meant was, burnside is typical of so much in contemporary blues and its productions values. i just used Mr Cray as a well know example, the simarlarity ends there.

Your right, just been freshing up my knowledge on the tube, Robert Cray blows Burnside into the down-home gutter. Personally I love blues, I'm not sure of its place on the scene or if I'd want to hear at a night, but I sposse I could tolerate the odd track, I know a lot of folk dont dig latin and boogaloo, which is always an essential feature if I get to play a set, so live and let live and variety is the key again. However what imho R cray and Burnside have in common imho is a contemporary polish and sheen which for all its clarity lacks the warmth and depth that 60's r and b tunes have by the bucket load.

while were at it, not sure of the credits on it, but there must be a connection between 'Im gone' and Derek Martin's unreleased 'flashback'? they sound so similar, imho. Billy Shae Rae aint as good but it isnt that bad a version either.

As I said I'm not keen but I'd go for this over another top 500 oldie any time.

hope so I've been saving up for a Northern soul Golly.

deffo, I'd also add that latina dnb funky sounds have there own particular nuances.

just for this year, there's loads! Gloria Gaynor- You'll be sorry Lovemasters- Pushing and pulling Mark iv unlimited- gone.

have to add its a pure blues record for me, that I'm not personally keen on myself, sounds a lot like an uptempo tune by someone like robert cray,

most Thanks for that, I suppose the highly disposable nature of this stuff makes it unlikely much has survived, hence the lack of response.

Saw one in Adam topping's box sat, not sure on price but he's got a site called soulsupermarket.

Thanks Ian, I agree personally that re- edits tend to be a little more respectful. I general a re- edit to me cant be about returning to the masters as the original re- editors only had reels of the final recording to work with.

Just been reading a piece about Solomon Burke's infamous popcorn consession at the Apollo, and was interested to hear that it was common practice for soul artists to sell there own merchandise at gigs; hats, posters, photos and the like. He also had preprinted popcorn boxes with his name on them! does anyone own or have they ever seen such items of interesting memorbila.

Ian what actually constitutes a re - edit here, did they have access to the masters, or are these just done from recordings of the finished product?

there's some right misogonistic crap on here, can I first apologise for some of the attitudes expessed, allbeit in a lighthearted manner. IMHO, the scene can only bennifit from a inreased inclusion of more females in active roles on the scene, personally some of the best dj's Ive heard in recent times have been female. Diva Di, Sandi Harpin and of course Joan have all impressed in a major way and something all the these have in common is a lack of ego , sensitivity for the dancefloor and an understanding that rarity have nothing to do with filling the floor, something many male DJ's would do well to heed.

Great thread idea, can always remember Bunny Shivel being revealed and quite few peeps being disgruntled by it being on a major label. I could never understand why myself, your paying over the odds for someone's superior knowledge, and you obviously have a choice when handing over the cash. No ones forced into buying a cover up. From a moral stand piont covering something can be veiwed as dubious, Godin despised the practiced, but I think missed the piont myself, the tune has to have failed in the first place to end up being a CU and when it is eventually revealed the CU is probably going to bennifit from the practice in terms of cred for the artist anyway.

The epitome of crossover for me that track.

hi Conrad, cant open the links at work but does this need to be in wants?

Slots obviously didnt go as planned due to, ahem, technical problems!! But there was an awesome array of underplayed and exclusives throughout the night, due mainly to our epic guests Mace and Beggsy. My early bit included the below. Geese. 8.00- 8.45 Fabulous Apollos- some good in everything bad Kris Peterson- Just as much Terri Bryant- Genie Detriot soul- All of my life Chuck Bernard- Send for me VIP's Right down from the bottom Mark iv unlimited- gone James Walker and the soul marchers- Walk on CU Alfredito- You tell me that you love me Joey Pastrana- My Vitriola Eddie Palieri +Cal T jader- Come and get it baby Chalie Palieri and Orch- Uptite Danny White- Natural soul brother Billy Wade and third degree- Tear it up part 1 Troggs- she's TNT CU

its not any of the things he did with MAW was it, 'you can do it baby' perhaps? Yeah i know its 9ts, but live sounding production. and I know it obvious but 'on broadway' or 'supership'?

couldnt think of a better time, in the last 30 years, to be buying cheapies than now, as chalky said acres of great Detriot but loads of great tenner and unders on chicago lables like one- der - ful, Mar v lus, okeh ect.

I disagree Nancy but think it would be a little off topic to get into theology here . ATB, geese.

a sad loss, he'll be missed.

glad to hear you got them back, certain vinyl, like freinds are ireplaceable, the second cautionary tale I've heard on here, I will never let them out of my sight if I ever travel with my tunes!!!!!!!!!!

worked it out now, no further advice needed.

please tell me how to distinguise an orig from the reissue, cant find any info on this one, many thanks in advance. Please excuse my ignorance, I'm always ready to learn. atb, geese.
