If Ian Levine is not worthy of discussion on this site then God help us all. Discovered more records than you've had hot dinners for a start.

Lorraine, nobody got paid from the profits of that film because there were none; it cost £80,000 in total to produce and so far they have only taken £14,000 back, and thats after one video and two dvd releases. I might have got this next bit wrong but I think they were going to try to pay artist royalties if they got back 50% of the costs? Please don't shoot the messenger!

All 'proper' instruments

Nat Augustin played every instrument on that himself, live, and overdubbed each instrument himself. Wrong choice there!

https://www.mixcloud....soul-live-tape/ This is the only live recording I have from Cleethorpes Pier, and it’s from it’s peak really, when it’s playlist matched or even surpassed that of any other venue in the country, late 1975 going into 1976. What I love about live tapes is the atmosphere, the clapping which sadly seems to have disappeared over the last two decades, but what makes this Cleethorpes tape special is that you think you are hearing clapping, when in fact it’s the sound of FEET stomping in unison – just listen to So Is The Sun for proof of this…it sounds like they're going to stomp the pier into the sea! Anyway, Cleethorpes 75, the DJ is Pep from Wolverhampton apart from on the last three tracks, not sure who it is that takes over. Enjoy people, enjoy. THE CROW – YOUR AUTUMN OF TOMORROW – INNER EAR THE MATA BABY – DO THE PEARL GIRL – PENNY HANK JACOBS – ELIJAH ROCKIN’ WITH SOUL – CALL ME TAMIKO JONES – I’M SPELLBOUND – GOLDEN WORLD THE EXCITERS – REACHING FOR THE BEST – 20TH CENTURY KEYMEN STRINGS – TRY A LITTLE HARDER – VEEJAY GEORGE BLACKWELL – CAN’T LOSE MY HEAD – SMOKE H.B. BARNUM – HEARTBREAKER – CAPITOL DANNY MONDAY – BABY WITHOUT YOU – MODERN DON VARNER – TEARSTAINED FACE – QUINVY WORLD COLUMN – SO IS THE SUN – TOWER RPM GENERATION – RONA’S THEME – ROMARK DELRAYS INCORPERATED – DESTINATION UNKNOWN – TAMPETE MEL BRITT – SHE’LL COME RUNNING BACK – FIP EVE OF EDEN – PARADE OF A BUNCH OF FOOLS – BUDDAH KING ERRISON – ZOLA – CANYON FRANKIE ‘LOVE MAN’ CROCKER – TON OF DYNAMITE – TURBO BILL BRANDON & LORRAINE JOHNSON – FULL TIME GROOVER - MOONSONG (tape supplied by Andy Rix many moons ago, thought I'd lost it, found it today)

I'm bumping this deliberately for those who missed it last night and I know would have liked to hear it, once it disappears from the new and current posts lists it just disappears - watch out for something special in a few minutes, Cleethorpes 75 live tape!

If only you knew how much anguish I suffered over this thread

One of the worst records I've ever heard, for some reason Russ started playing it despite it being a 50p cheapie, four weeks later it was bootlegged, things happened so fast back in those days.

Soul Sauce wasn't reissued until 1979 on that blue Verve bootleg.

Why are you asking for PERMISSION from a bunch of people you don't know, to play a record? Just f*cking play it.

Probably...

Mr Levine tells me that the first track is by BLINKY, so have altered it accordingly

Should have offered them to me, I'd have bought them

Nearly all my own records are boots, I can't afford to keep originals as I sell them for a living, I would never, ever sell my boot collection, there's 37 odd years of my life wrapped up in those 45's. Records come and records go, I've had thousands and thousands of originals, some of them mega-rare, but I always come back to my box of favourites, be they reissue, UK 70's, pressing, whatever

When you're listening to 40, 50 year old music who cares if it's "lossless" or not, a decent mp3 sounds exactly the same to me.

I've got an original of this ending on Ebay today, think it's stuck at £9.99, people don't realise how tough the original is to find

This used to be on one of those compilation DVD's I used to do before I was told not to

My last 2 podcasts have featured Barbara pennington - 24 hours a day Barbara Pennington - Running in another direction both are classic of the tailor made variety the one that everyone always quotes as being 'the best' is James Wells "Baby I'm still the same man" but I can't stand that one. Weak Spot, heard it the other day for the first time in years, sounded great, Your Magic Put A Spell On Me, also sounding great. I prefer all of these early ones in the main but there were a couple from a few years back that were equally as good. Unfortunately my memory is not what it was. I spoke to Ian the other day actually, he sounded in good spirits.

It was, definitely 1974 for The Joker.

What, I Saw The Light by Todd Rundgren?

David Porter & The Soul Searchers I thought
