Eddie Hubbard

Myself and a few Banbury guys used to go to The Lafayette in W/ hampton on a wednesday in the late 70's , run by Neil Rushton , we hadn't even recovered from Wigan by Wednesday , and this great night just about finished us off !! Remember buying a black Gamble copy of Frank Beverly off Clive Jones for £25 which was a lot of money then .Happy days .........Best ,Eddie

I've got a demo as well Mark , never seen an issue , never seen an issue of Doris Troy " Face up to the truth " either .Best ,Eddie

That's very kind of you Garv , got to say John Ridley is the man when it comes to Deep Soul , I'd have to include Tim Brown as well for all types of Soul , always enjoyed his guest spots on Richards show ,a fountain of knowledge .Rob Moss is very knowledgeable when it comes to Detroit , John Anderson must be up there , along with Garry Cape , if only by the sheer number of records they've found .Best ,Eddie

Paul Kyser produced The Superlatives " I still love you " as well as sides like Jimmy Briscoe " Invitation to the world " .I've got the Tim Ashibende mag as well , I'll dig it out .Best ,Eddie

Hello Dave , Lee Fields is a label mate of Sharon Jones at Dap tone , still turning out great traditional Soul in the Deep Soul / gritty style .Other superb artists to my ears are Ann Nesby , Jaheim , and Angie Stone , maybe not recorded in the old style , but really Soulful to my ears .Try listening to Mick O' Donnell's " Soul Discovery " show on 209radio in Cambridge every fortnight on a sunday 12 pm - 3pm or go to the archive and pick it up anytime , for more examples of great Soul music coming out of USA .I've got to say I think we're going through a golden period for great new independant Soul music on CD , and of course labels like Paul Mooney's Soulscape records are doing the business as well with some fine archive releases .Best Wishes ,Eddie

I got an original Mel Britt for around £8 when Neil Rushton found some originals and advertised them in Echoes .Best ,Eddie
