Oh Shaddup Ya Face

Mine plays fine but hisses on the out groove if thats what you call it on a 4" disc. While on the topic of Mayer Hawthorne he's on live tonight in Leeds & tomorrow in Birmingham. Well worth checking out & I wish I'd known earlier.

Ya might be the smartass Ian but at least I had a room to go back to

Not doubting you at all Ian but have just played the Robbie Danzie version & the writers are credited as Mark Capanni & JAMES TAYLOR, not Bobby Taylor. Probably an error but you never know???

This if ya quick & know where to look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DGjVYJlUYM

Guess I'm wasting my time reccommending Beres's 'Let's Make A Song' album to you then Pete. Sort of on topic via the Reggae link played Marcia Aiken - I'm Still In Love at the Morecambe weekender on Friday. Filled the floor (new thread?). Got fed up of the Uniques yet fella???

You mean Modern Reggae

Some real bargains to be had there Wish I'd seen the Teddy Pendergrass - I Don't Love You Any More. If you've got another copy spare ( or anyone else for that matter) drop me a PM.

Yes there is - Carstairs Thought you'd like it Pete. After all you are our Reggae Mod

Agreed Chalky. Thread seems to be more of an events plug to me. If thats the case it's a lokker unless folks can prove otherwise.

Thank you for a well worded & thoughtful reply Boba. It really is appreciated. It does open a few cans of worms though especially the comments about no Soul being made now. I'm sure as a resident of Chicago you will know that a hell of a lot of Soulful House music hails from your fine City, now if that ain't soulful I don't know what is. I could go on for hours about the current Modern Soul scene & perhaps a visit to the essential Modern Soul ( EMS ) forum might open your eyes to new Soul releases. Don't think this thread is really the place to discuss it though as it's going wildly off topic & I am a Mod on here so have to set examples to the rest of the horrible bunch Just an example for you though is the Eli Paperboy thread an the EMS site has only had around 2 comments & hardly any hits but the Soul Unsigned thread has had around 30 comments & several hundred hits. Again I'll wish Eli all the best with this release but I'm just trying to champion the cause of other Soul artists & I'm sure he'd do the same. Thanks for listening BTW & perhaps you might like to go back & have a listen to track 6 Cool Million - Back For More as it's been probably the biggest sound on the UK Modern Soul scene this year. My final point is that you said the comp didn't sound like Northern Soul but it's not trying to. We'll leave the trying to sound like Northern Soul to the likes of Duffy, Kings Go Forth, Levine new releases & yes the Paperboy.

Sorry but I kinda like my 2010 Soul music to sound like err 2010 Soul music & this certainly don't fit the bill IMO. More like a 'male Duffy wanabee' to me. Not slagging the Paperboy chappie by that statement as it's quite a nice pop record with a catchy fashionable retro beat but new Soul music it ain't im afraid. Will be interesting to see how many folks who are saying they like it now still will in 12 months time. Remember the Duffy, Whinehouse, Stone (actually quite like Joss Stone though) syndrome? Might I suggest if you want some REAL 2010 Soul music you could do worse than check out the Soul Unsigned 2010 compilation album on the link below. It contains a bit of everything from midtempo & uptempo grooves & a couple of rather nice Boogie tracks (1&2). Also a nice retro sounding track if that's your thing (Soopasoul - Do Me Wrong). Worst thing though is the Paperboy will probably make more cash from his pop record than the entire artist list on the 2010 album. Don't begrudge him a penny but would like the folks who make 'real Soul music' to earn a few quid unlike in the past. Sure as fans of Soul music you'd ALL agree with that https://www.soulunsigned.com/records/sudj002.htm

Events??? You know the site rules Kev. Locked...

Thread on link below. Gonna lock this off now.

Moved this to the correct forum for you Steve. Glad I bought e'm both when I did

Been watching those old Michael J Fox movies again Stevie? (Listen to this uncle Chuck ) 50+ year old music the future????

Sadly only a few of us are in't 21st century Dave Like we had at Bretby 10 years ago when Terry Gee ran the 2nd room. Bring it on again (yes I know it's been pulled down before you all jump in). BTW is that me in your avatar mate???

Modern & Rare neck & neck at 16 votes each eh. How about a Rare Modern room & then everyone's happy. Well everyone exept the RnB fans.

Think I'd play cards actually

Err whats the first room???

Beat me to it Roger as I was gonna say that. Some very good points in both posts Matt & Roger but the simple fact of the matter is the Northern scene always has & always will cherry pick tunes from the Modern scene. Just take a look at Sam's playlist for an example of that. As for the punters there are some out there who like both as well & also couples who are into both. Myself & Shelley are a classic example of that. I came from the Northern scene & moved towards the Modern scene as some sort of natural progression. Still love the Northern scene but not so much as back in the day & see it as more of a retro thing. As for Shelley she has been a Northern fan since the early 80's & loves it to bits but is also enjoying going to Modern nights as all the music is new & fresh for her. Biggest problem though is she's nicked all my old Northern records Same as you Roger I'm not going to go down the 'format, road as I'm more interested in what comes out of the speakers but the Northern scene was built on a 7" collectable format & it's never going to shake that off. Not a bad thing really for them but it's 2010 so why do the same on the Modern scene & what about the Crossover fans (can of worms opened!!!). PS Matt, might be over to Move On this Friday so maybe we can discuss this in a civilised manner over a beer Think you should pay extra myself as you're enjoying MORE of the music than everyone else

Also got released on the Soul Supply 'Modern Soul Story' vol 1 album.

Great story Ivan. Thanks for taking the time to post it up along with the letter Still waiting for a 1932 'bongless' copy if anyone has one they would like to part with for a nominal fee. Might even be willing to share the P&P fee's

Bloody hell, no sitting on the fence with this one is there. Bit like Marmite! As for the world cup theme comments I might just give it a spin at Mr Wigleys Bridlington weekender in the middle of the world cup but until then I'll hide it behind my Florescent Smogg if Sean comes for tea Anyway thanks for all the comments so far both positive & negative.
