Liverpool John Clement? Encyclopaedia of soul, lovely bloke.

1984, got hooked by my mate Robin Brace (Cleethorpes, Keele attendee) I stated collecting records in 1981, I was too young fo the famous niters and was into Ska Blue beat, only casually, as I found it limiting. . I'd been in a lot of trouble at football, it was getting worse by the week life was going nowhere and narrowly escaped jail after a court appearance. He gave me a quiet lecture, what do you want. to go round smacking people for etc etc fo and turned the volume up in his shed where we still meet. Records I could buy for 25p at Eddie's (RIP) Mart in Hull and when I came back to Eddie's many years just before Covid, he was still selling records at 25p a pop., but no Four Voices or Jason Knight

I have to say I am having a great amount of fun with a download mixing desk app on the computer called transtions DJ (opensource but probably online too) Even a complete numskull like myself can use it, with very entertaining results. Anyone else had a go on it-you cant uplaod from your decks as far as I can see but it whacked in my complete MP3 sould files some several hundred in about 3 seconds, and when you play them it shows up immediately how many BPM. A bit of practice and you can do a decent enough radio set without setting everything up, lazy I know but when youve also got 10,000 mp3s its very tempting to have a go at entertaining, as thers a record facility as well. I havent worked out yet if it has plug ins for your mixer and midi boards, but its total fun and makes a change form the ole xbox.

Some forgotten wonders Some fortgotten wonders among the lists, more please! Many thanks for the info!

Roburt and Ken many thanks for the info, really very interesting!

My mate Eddie an African Americsncgasman (anesthetist) back in my days at Spire was nuts about Boz Scaggs and Peabo who he knew from his days in NYC. More for the general soul scene, I must now touch base with that man. C

Thought folk might want to look at these blueys. I got a box out and was gonna sell, but I can't part with anything. Obscure fort lauderdale is it Carl Carlton? and the Cyntriks, a mystery label, which I haven't been able to locate, not heavyweights I'm sure, but of interest to some maybe!

I listen to Soul Cafe and NY Soul on the soul cafe app, you get to hear new fresh stuff on these stations, as I prefer to go straight to source, when you get in app there's various stations some 24 hour, others I haven't picked up, oldies station included. There's a few on mytuner, with soul stations in most states, some that come and go, but those are more Lik you pick up a few gems though the French Jams are good, you have to dig around.

Recievd mine superb service many thanks Bunderthollox.

I've got thr prpfonix versio, I always thought that night be a bit dubious.

Just wondering if a lot of them were set up becuase the incumbents wanted to be boss of something. The more niche ones dont like opinion sometimes, I know that I've been blocked off half of them, are they generally echo chambers for the disgruntled and downright tedious?

HI its my first selling post after many years on this illustrious site, just thinning out a few bits to accommodate newer sounds.

The less said about him the better. I know some quite disturbing tales of him in the 90s oh yes, and that's all I have to say.

Great that, had a look on discogs and found, Ernie Lee Banks. Most likely same dude?

Briklain topic, nice one Robert

Baby needs a new pair of shoes. Opening song. The numbers game.. Any ideas who Ernie Lee is or was, sounds funkeh. Dont think it was released. He did or was sampled for a thing in the 80s are you rready to be loved but its not in demand or anything. Karmello Brooks is in this movie too, maybe a couple more if you look Ernie just seems to crop up occasionally in the music world, but aha I just looked and he was in a number of movies in the 70s. Perhaps he jus tsang for the movie. Its available to watch thee whole movie on the ole YT.

We exchanged a lot of laughs about the scene in general, only linked up 2 years ago, through the shop, even losing his eye as he did this year was, just yeah I'm gonna crack on, I think, by look of a couple of posts I missed, Tooley was getting set to fly when he drove down to Glasto and djed. That was ending 25.6. and he died end of July. Huge respects to family and friends.

As noome else has said as yet Immensely sorry to hear that the owner of Records Revival, Scarborough, Paul Toole aka Tooley, aka Pablo Mesqualito a big soul and beat dj and soul collector has passed away (July 30th) after illness that had dogged him this year, shortly after gigging at Glasto, a very short while after undergoing cancer surgery. I'm sure a lot of people will have met Paul en-route to niters on the East Coast for niters. Lots more details on his Facebook page. We met 2 year ago, instant pals.. and he was kind and generous, with a superb sense of humour.

Been looking for a thread on this so my nomination is Sheba Baby I loved a lot of the music in that, Mine is Sheba Baby Monk Higgins Alex Brown funky as you'd guess. Bought the album, tatty cover but all things Buddah

Craig Charles is not the ideal representative of the soul or funk scene at all, he would never show up at a bonfide decent night as he'd be laughed out before he got ten foot, I imagine.. this is more comedy from the Beeb. Sorry not my cup of tea.

Family plain and simple and pets if I had them. That's it. I'm kind of philosophical about personal goods, here today gone tomorrow. I'd still throw the record boxes out the window if I had time in a fire.

Does John Godber come to soul nights? Never seen him in Hull, even for researching this. obviously it doesn't mean he doesn't attend, but nobody has mentioned anything, not a dicky bird. Im thinking of that play scene in League of Gentleman with Chubby Brown

Already about aren't they....

Should be in catch up, I've done a bit of digging and now repairing good old YouTube and now we're half way to . Found strings fillered and cleaned up and shellac going on this week! Cheers everyone and those who messaged!
