Forgot all about that article.

Thanks Andy. Is Silus still with us? I know Steve Green met him in a home some years ago now.

I think when the Italian authorites asked who to credit as writers the blue sharks said I haven’t got the foggiest, something got lost in translation.

No contest this one IMO.

Can’t remember if it was a weekender or not, I went with Ray Hudson. Sammy Ward in all white and cowboy hat.

Fabulous record, one of the best all-nighter records for me. Still talk of it being Butch’s “Del-larks”. andy, apart from Silus, were any if the group on the Candi 45 featuring the Mellow Fellows? Silus given lead credit on one side, Edwin Johnson the flip

Seems like there's some petty oneupmanship at Butlins as the one down the road was there long before Winstanley rolled into town. It happens everywhere though, purely selfish on the part of most and not a care for the bigger picture.

Don't let the fcukers get you down mate, sounds like someone has a grudge to me and there is always someone who think they know more than anyone, including those involved! Hope you are both well btw?

The instruments might have changed, the techniques and production more sophisticated but the 70s was full of soul, to say otherwise is nonsense. Soul isn't in just the music, the vocal is the most important aspect. Rehearsed? You only have to look at the techniques at Motown from 64 onwards to see the 60s was just as rehearsed and practised, it and other companies were production lines. Time in the studios was tight and precious and there was little time for improvisation and endless hours until they got it right, of course rehearsals took place. There was so much that was aimed at the white teenage markets that any down to earth, rough and ready soul had just about been taken out. That's not to say there wasn't any soul, far from it but the 70s for me probably edges it for the depth of soul music. It might not be to some of your tastes, I understand many prefer 60s (and vice versa) and often no matter how hard we sometimes try we can't look beyond our preference but the soul was there and just as prolific as what went before or after.

Both black groups as far as I am aware.

That is a real one you can see the stamp under the label if you look closely. Price is daft yes but seller is reputable.

The show that featured Stuart Raith a few weeks ago was stunning, 1965? to 1973 and a social history of soul and the US, great listening. Dave Raistrick and Arthur Fenn, great stories. Every show as Rob says has something different to offer.

Premier dealer, Dj and promoter, finder of many great records over the years joins Dean and Jez for more great stories of Dave's time on the scene and his trips Stateside, oh and of course some great music.

I think I have the track listings. I can look to see if I have any Cds at weekend if you are not sorted.

Paree was the first release in 1966 as far as I am aware. Then Aspirations on Peaches. Admirations on Peaches then the Onderful stuff.

Get the Lp and save a few quid, the French 45 fetching a fair bit these days. The UK take no where near as good IMO.

There has been an example of "complete madness" every week for quite sometime. Every day you open Soul Source, Facebook etc there is a topic similar to this.

It's fetched as much as that or more in auction here hasn't it? As for gradings, his G is probably a Brits VG+ or Ex grade.

Just got the decks set back up (still a bit of knob twiddling to do to get the sound right) Had an hour spare and threw together a collection of 19 recently released 45s all previously unissued at the time of recording, alternate takes and one or two new recordings in there too. Enjoy.

The Coalitions (minus Tony Talent who left temporarily) join with Al Brown to form a new Intrigues and record five tracks for an LP which never saw a release until now. Soul Junctions latest quality release hits the streets on the 18th of September. Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full
