  4. Yes that's right. Oddly enough, I don't think I ever saw one of these until the late 90's. It got very few plays back in the late 70's so was very surprised that it had been booted.
  5. It was Ady, very limited but it's out there, vinyl, poor looking copy of the label (demo) and not great sound quality.
  6. I wouldn't say it's a boot, I'd say it's a second pressing. I got £50 for mine.
  7. The black lettering one is from around March / April 1976, that's when it first appeared in the import shops here, I bought one from Max Millward's. I bought one again from the same shop 30 years later, except this time it was £25 not £1.50
  8. It's what I used to get on my teeth at 8pm every sunday morning
  9. Track listing is on that page but doesn't show Tyrone Davis
  10. Taking you back to the mid 60’s now with songs plus authentic radio advertisements of the time by the original artists. I can guarantee you’ll be wanting a Coke after this lot, as the majority are jingles for Coke or Pepsi. There’s also some good advice from the likes of Little Anthony, Mitch Ryder and Stevie Wonder, plus a superb ‘Detroit Is Happening’ song at the end of the podcast. Check out Motor City Radio Flashbacks on the net for more of the same.

  11. This is the first time I’ve ever attempted a pure Soul compilation using only Jamaican sounds, here’s a collection of mainly forgotten and unknown, all of which, with the exception of a couple of ballads, could possibly be given an outing at your local soul nights. I have purposely avoided the blatantly obvious records such as I Feel So Bad and instead gone for things that hopefully a lot of listeners will be hearing for the first time. Not to be confused with my recent podcast Jamaican Soul Shake, which was only called that because every artist or track had the word ‘Soul’ in it! This one begins with a couple of R & B tunes originally released on the Blue Beat label and I think the latest track is probably 1974. I’ve also avoided putting any Jamaican funk on as that would also have been too easy as there are numerous compilations of that material available.

  12. When? How? Jeez, terrible news, only corresponded with him about 3 days ago. RIP Bob.
  13. 99% issues as well meaning they are probably from a collector rather than a music industry / journalist / dj source. Those are usually all demos.
  14. I've got about 30 snipes going on these!
  15. This new Mac is sh*te compared to the old one. Doesn't have a dvd drive either. Really wish I hadn't sold the old one.
  16. I've got a 3 week old Mac and I can't see one, apart from a headphone socket
  17. Radio 1 DJ, had the only soul show Radio career[edit] In the early 1960s, still using his real name, he began working for BBC radio, presenting talks and, occasionally, Woman's Hour.[7] However, when his cousin, the Liberal Party politician Oliver Smedley, founded the pirate radio station Radio Atlanta, he joined the station as a disc jockey, broadcasting from the ship Mi Amigo moored off the coast of Frinton-on-Sea. At that point, he began using the name Mike Raven, and presented shows which focused on his love of American blues, rhythm and blues and soul music, of which he owned a large record collection.[7] In 1964 he married Mandy Kilbey, sometimes presenting radio programmes jointly with her; they later had two sons.[3] With Smedley, he became an active campaigner lobbying Parliament for the legalisation of the pirate radio stations, until Smedley was accused of causing the death of rival radio entrepreneur Reg Calvert by shooting him with a shotgun; he was later acquitted on the grounds of self-defence. Raven then moved to another pirate station, Radio Invicta, which broadcast from a wartime defence tower on a sandbank in the mouth of the River Thames. The station was later known as Radio King and Radio 390.[7] There, he was programme controller and presented a daily R&B show until November 1966.[8] A compilation album, The Mike Raven Blues Show, billed as "twice voted top pirate radio show", was issued on the Xtra label, a subsidiary of Transatlantic Records, in 1966. It featured recordings by Texas Alexander, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Gus Cannon, Robert Johnson, Speckled Red, Victoria Spivey, Lead Belly, Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Boy Williamson, Brownie McGhee, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Elmore James.[9] After working for a short time for Radio Luxembourg, presenting an EMI-sponsored soul show, he joined BBC Radio 1 - the first national radio channel in the UK playing predominantly popular music - for its launch day in September 1967. The Mike Raven Blues Show debuted on the first day of Radio 1, and was a regular feature, usually on Sunday evenings, until November 1971, eventually expanding to a two-hour slot.[3][7][8] Raven was regarded as a leading authority on the subject, and the show was highly influential in promoting the music of African American culture within the UK, being described as "essential listening for every self-respecting blues fan".[4][5][10]
  18. I've got one of those. Came with about a dozen reel to reels of Mike Raven Shows from 1971/72.
  19. I'm sure I read it in her own biography about them not releasing it in 64...found an autographed copy of it (the biography) in a little village shop round here a few years ago. I think on the box set they have left the date blank but put it in 65. Anyway who cares, it's a great track.
  20. Well you do if your pc / mac has no audio inputs for those leads..

  22. Thats probably why the £20 one I bought is now rubbish
  23. Her words, not mine...also DARLENE LOVE - LONG WAY TO BE HAPPY - (INITIALLY UNRELEASED) - Darlene Love recorded this Gerry Goffin and Carole King composition in 1964, however it was not initially released. In 1964, The Blossoms (of which Darlene was one) landed a role as regulars on "Shindig!" which angered Phil Spector as he wanted complete control of the group. He didn't release any of Darlene's recordings at that time. [Recorded: June 1964]
  24. Surely you can record out of any deck with the red/white cables, via a gadget costing £20, which runs into the pc via USB. Why spend £375 on a new deck when your old one will do it?
