Scotters

...Anyone? I'm happy to pay £10 for each one if in decent condition. Thanks

Please let me know if you've spares or willing to sell any of issues 1-6, 20 & 21 of this brilliant series of soul mags from the 80s/90s. Many thanks, Steve

Thanks for that Len. Great to hear you and others are also playing those sort of tunes in The Kenwood Suite at Bury All-Nighter Yes I enjoyed this one that Gilly & Nicola shared with us (alongside a couple of others I couldn't pronounce!) .. Eric Monty Morris, previously unreleased until a couple of months back I believe?

Hi Kev..Cheers for your ongoing words of support mate. There's no doubt you, Pete & Gaz etc would enjoy the night...it's the near 200 miles of tarmac each way that's the problem on a Sunday. Still, we've all travelled further for just 90 mins of football, so maybe one day In the meantime I'm sure Chris (or my kids) can get us trained up on that Instagram thing

Yes, thanks very much as always to all the DJ's and everyone who came along last night, many having travelled a bit...much appreciated! We look forward to more of the same at the next one mid-July! Here's what I chose this time anyway. Cheers, Steve Fabulous Holidays - Too many times (Soul Junction CD) The Elements of Peace - Love came suddenly (Symphonical 45) Jack Montgomery - Beauty isn't born (Auston's 45) The New Gospel Stylistics - Someone who really loves you (Champ 45) The Up Tights - Look a little higher (Alley 45) Jimmy Jones - I'm so glad I got you (Deke 45) Marvin Smith - Peace (Unissued Masters CD) Brian Owens & The Deacons of Soul - Prayer for my children (Sweet Soul CD) The Itals - Oh Lord, why Lord (Punch 45) Alton Ellis - I dig you baby (Well Charge 45) Natural Impulse - She Went Away (Natural Impulse 45) Roy Robert - I know what to do to satisfy you (Tina 45) The Chapells - She needs Him (Bedford / Numero LP)

For the last 4 or 5 weeks this CD has been the soundtrack to the start of my spring & summer whilst driving around or mooching around in the house. I'd only really listened to 2 or 3 of their recordings previously and this compilation together with fantastic write up & photos has been a real treat...that full length version of "Getting kind of serious", amazing. Well done (again!) and please keep 'em coming guys. Cheers, Steve

I've not seen the yellow issue pop up for sale too often...guessing that carries a hundred or so premium over a demo in same condition? Was lucky to find one several years ago. Love it...everything about it. Interesting story behind the label I think I read on here a few years ago, will try and find the link. ...The power of Soul Source search! Some interesting links included in this thread from 2012: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/220626-alex-brown-in-search-of-love-sundi-lp-1977/#comment-1819511

Agree probably fewer recently (assuming you mean previously unreleased 60's/70's) but I think there's still a decent CD release at least every month and some strong new download only tracks from iTunes, Bandcamp and CD baby etc. The Ace/Kent releases are quite consistent still I think. A very good CD comp on the way from Soul Junction soon featuring tracks from The Holidays incl some unreleased numbers and alt recordings. Several strong new download/CD releases from small independent studios such as Blue Lotus Recordings (great album from Roland Johnson last year & more recently Gene Jackson's "1963"). I noticed last week that the previously Jap only CD album from Brian Owens & The Deacons of Soul is now available on iTunes too, so hopefully more income for those guys and that interesting label. I'll be happy to learn of any more recent & decent CD's or downloads that others are enjoying. Cheers, Steve

Watched this with my two girls tonight and all had to watch it again straight after...stunning vocals considering her age, well done that girl!.don't think I'll see / hear a performance like that from another 15yr old any time soon. Confidence & real talent in bundles. Good for her and her family..hopefully good for future new soul.

Hi Mark, Yes he's ok..just couldn't make this one unfortunately, but out and about again and taking the p1ss / winding everyone up again soon I'm sure

Not sure if anyone's still bothered with playlists these days but here goes anyway to share some Easter Soul. Brian Goucher unfortunately couldn't make it to Yarmouth this year so I was a reluctant (but grateful) sub in the famous Lounge...superbly relocated in The Burlington Hotel right on the sea-front....a fun few hours early on the Friday night alongside DJs Dave Halsall, Alex Subinas & Dave Grimes playing various genres and tempos in the company of a few dozen other like minded souls, not forgetting Mr Gregg Jackson in the room just hanging out and listening in / chatting to everyone before his performance in the main room on Saturday night and a couple of surprise songs in The Lounge on Saturday afternoon! Brilliant..well done again Pat & everyone involved Then opened up the Saturday session before sitting back to soak up several hours of amazing soul from collectors and DJs including Pete Mattock, Steve Guarnori, Andy Etheridge, Blake Helliwell, Tricky, Rob Hurcomb, John Farrell and Sid Clayton. Hopefully one or two of those guys might also list what they played as it really was a great soul session from 11am through to 8pm, sea views out of the window and bar only 10 yards away! Friday eve: Gene Jackson - 1963 (no relation to Gregg Jackson, so I'm told! Great recent release.) Lee Fields & The Expressions - I'm coming home The Michigan Soul Searchers - Where could I go Operation Faith - Saved by the King (feat. Pastor Harold Johnson) Brian Owens & The Deacons of Soul - Prayer for my children Durand Jones & The Indications - Is it any wonder Carmelita - Isn't it lonely F.J. Jones - Gone and found another Bernadette Bascom - I don't wanna lose your love Talmadge Armstrong and the Escotts - Give it up Natural Impulse - She went away The Lovations - (I keep singing) la la la ooh Cast of Magic Band - Don't say no Collaboration - Where is love The Fabulous Malibus - My love Little Gregory & The Concepts - Look and you'll see Dynamite Dyous & The Green Tree Express - You made my living worth while 2001 Black Essence - When you walk alone with love The Love Experience - Waiting for your love Carlos Wright with Purple Mundi - Man from the sky Saturday starters: Soft Touch - Look up, look down Billy Peterson Jr - Color one tear black Ivy Jo Hunter - Yea, yea, yea Curtis Wiggins - Can't buy love with money Veda Brown - Play Brother, play Sister Sandra Phillips - Hoping you'll come back Jo Ann Garrett - I've gotta be loved Gene Jackson - You're gonna get hurt Liz Vice - Empty me out Doug Harris & Vishun - Bright side Inez Andrews - Lord I love thee The Village Choir - Talk to me sometimes Jo Jo and The Outcast - Why baby The Demands - Let me be myself Harlem Meat Company - I'm not gonna be anybody's fool Blue & Ferris - It's your turn to cry Saun & Starr - In the night The Dontells - Move on down the line ...More of the same at The Sunday Soul Sessions on 14th May at The Stanwick Hotel for anyone interested. Cheers, Steve

Good idea Mike. On the more uptempo side, this occasionally upsets the neighbours, nice n loud when everyone's out of the house, from 2004ish "Cycles"..

Well typed there Kev! Must've taken you ages I'm glad you made the effort though as missed the first few hours and then as usual couldn't remember most of the records I heard or looked at through the night! Much amazing soul, beer and some JD soaked up over several hours in very good company + great to meet Jakob and Anthony too...sure looked like they enjoyed themselves double decking later on and no doubt be back if you keep it rolling. All the best and thanks again, Steve

Please PM if you have one of these to sell or trade, on Q Records. Cheers, Steve

Another very sad loss. Have really enjoyed his music, one of my faves among so many tracks "That's why I came to California"..Was only listening to it the other day feeling uplifted with memories of just the one trip to LA so far. RIP Leon.

Thanks for posting this a few weeks ago Sean. Received mine today from Colemine and top quality both sides for sure for anyone who likes this style and tempo of soul. Guessing there'll be some UK dealers stocking but if not then best get in quick from Colemine, as when I looked a moment ago their website was saying only 9 left (not sure how many they pressed up?). Cheers, Steve https://www.coleminerecords.com/products/tsr002 PS...If anyone has a spare or unwanted copy of the Dontel's "Moaning and crying" / "Soul nitty gritty" (on Donte) then please let me know, thanks.

Please PM if you have one of these in decent condition and might consider outright sale or trade(s). Thanks, Steve

So very sorry to hear this news. I only met Paul about 5 or 6 years ago and feel lucky to have seen / heard him play some of his records a few times. Such a friendly man, brilliant sense of humour and amazing taste in soul...he put me on to some stunning records I might never have otherwise heard and I'll treasure them even more now. Rest in peace Paul.

Thanks as always to those few who could make it along to share some soul and banter..We'll back again next year starting with the soul weekender 10th/11th/12th Feb at this great venue. All the best to Gavin Harrison and his pal also staying over at the hotel last night and about to start the final few days of his charity walk from Scotland to London for Children in Need....dressed as Darth Vader! Link here if anyone feeling generous for this worthy cause www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Gavin-Harrison3 We offered Darth a spot, but the big gloves, no chance... just drinking Guinness through a black straw and mutterings of "I am your Father" (in the proper authentic voice I might add)....and that dark look in his eyes when anything really deep was played. Len had a go at trying on the mask but always going to be a problem on the height thing there mate Oh yes and some music...here's what I played from the dark side and Im sure Brian, Chris, Tricky & Sid will also post up their plays sometime.... Major Harris - Beside me (Muffat 45) ..thanks for this one Brian Mather - This is serious (DSG) Mather - I can't forget about you (DSG) Rachel Modest - I try (ATA 45) Lyle Divinsky - Fallin' (Lyle Divinsky CD) Lawrence Beamen - Better than you (Knafo Entertainment CD) The Sisters Love - This time tomorrow (man-child 45) Grace Love & the True Loves - Everything happens for a reason (True Love LP) The Exciters - You got me (RCA LP) Rita Wright - It don't mean nothin' to me (Ace / Kent CD) Arnold Blair - Finally made it home (Triumph / Super Disco Edits 45) Betty Wright - Don't you dare (Ms.B Music download) Energy MC2 - If you break it (Soul Junction promo 45) Lonie Jones - Treat your baby right (Jenmark 45) Psychodelic Frankie - Putting you out of my life (Hi-Speed 45) Fantastic Four - If you need me, call me (and I'll come running) (Eastbound 45) Little Gregory & the Concepts - Look, and you'll see (Lompri 45) Cheers, Steve

Really enjoying this album the last couple weeks, the lp not cheap but well worth it I think and yes would be great to see him live in Jan, at Gorilla in Manchester or Under the Bridge in London. Big Crown Records going very well it seems and looking forward to whatever's next. Cheers, Steve

Thanks for posting this up each month or so Mike..Really enjoying the Rita Wright CD in the car this week and in particular the unbelievable track 3 "It don't mean nothin' to me"...so good I noticed Mick O'Donnell played it twice on his Soul Discovery radio show the other week, and has been on repeat here a good few times too. Perhaps a 45 release of that track to follow I'm guessing. Cheers, Steve

I got my copy through the post today from "Love Vinyl" in London and I think Soul Brother Records + Simply Soul (Fish) have some limited stock in this week too. No doubt other reputable sellers will also have some for sale at the £12ish RRP before anyone has to think about paying over the odds via resellers on Discogs, on here or via ebay etc. Really great record by the way and thanks to Russ at Super Disco Edits for releasing it. Cheers, S

Still looking if anyone wants to exchange theirs for a PayPal receipt, needs to be clean vg++ though please. Thanks.
