    Compared To What? Mr Flood's Party? Heard worse

    Prefer the flip tho, don't you?

    80s and 90s were low points for me - all my fickle mates drifted away from NS, leaving me high and dry. Goldmine CDs in the late 90s woke me back up and finally, FINALLY I'm buying vinyl again and off to my first NS do in April for 34 years.

    Fair point Pete, I think after the Sharonettes, Paula Roussell etc I have a little bit of a downer on Black Magic - probably colours my judgement, all though I'm still not bothered about it - is this going off topic?!!

    Don't get me wrong, I love J.J. Barnes to bits, but I'd have preferred it if he'd re-recorded the entire song rather than singing over a three year old backing track. Knowing that spoils it a bit for me Not much different from the 'Lorraine Chandler' version of Love You Baby, other than that was crap.... and not Lorraine Chandler. Actually that's not fair, JJB will always be a great record, just not quite a classic. See also the Inspirations re-issue with new vocals. Is it the rarity value that gets us more excited about the JJB version than we should be?

    ...and the astonishing thing is you can still pick up the 1st issue US original for £15-ish. It's got to be the ultimate cheapie. Imagine if only a few copies had been pressed - it would be the holy grail.

    Hey Jim, Depends how much you'd love to own it. People think nowt of spending 5 and a half grand on a little second hand car ... or a kitchen. I think I'd prefer the Del Larks! (no I'm not putting a bid in!).

    Darrell Banks for me too every time, although don't want to diss JJ too much as he had a great voice. Just prefer the timbre and phrasing of DB.

    After all these years I'm forever coming across new stuff on Soul Source thanks to the links everyone puts up (including the above) - it's a constant source (ahem) of pleasure. I now have a massive list of wants that I'll never be able to complete! God look at the time - go to bed, Stu.

    Anybody remember one called 'All Night Oldies' - 1977-ish? My made taped it for me when I was a kid and it had some crackers on it, all new to me at the time, It Ain't Necessary, Hide Nor Hair, Compared To What, I'lll Be There, Colalined Baby etc.. Played the tape so many times you could eventually hear the music on the other side being played backwards!

    What it's all about - people coming together. Well done!

    Today I'd ease in with: What's that On Your Finger - Willie Kendrick Don't Mess With Bill - Marvelettes I Don't Want To Hear it - Exits God this is hard - I can imagine the empty floor! - no wonder I'm not a DJ.... ask me again in ten minutes and it'd be three totally different ones. Total respect to the selectors.

    The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game - Marvelettes of course - ends with a slow flourish - class track!

    God, it was 'Rat Race' for me - Pleasley Verney Institute 'Tea-timer' (8.30 till 10), probably late '78. After the usual Judy Street, R Dean taylor etc.. Phil Cresswell the DJ slapped this on the decks and introduced it as a piece of 'heavy northern'. WOW! it sounded evil, mysterious, and weird... but great to a 14 year old. I can hear and feel it now, clear as day. Would love to have heard the first outing of 'Bari Track' wherever that was. Great thread ajb, should get some good memories from this one.
  17. Soulstu
    Pete, Ta for that - If you find the 'Bok' thread let me know cos it's bothered me for decades!
  18. Soulstu
    Yep - totally agree - an instrumental can sometimes have SO much atmosphere - and you can concentrate on the groove, the sound and the playing. btw 'BOK' to Bach.... 'BARI' Track where the hell do these titles come from? - would love to know. Top thread by the way.
  19. Soulstu
    Not got one i'm afraid... but 20 past four in the morning?!!! - you a milkman?.. or are you posting from a 'niter???
  20. Soulstu
    John, It seems like many of us on here have lost precious vinyl - it's like losing a loved one. Hope you get it back mate.
  21. Soulstu
    You know summat - Soul heaven doesn't have to be on the floor or at a gig. I was driving under Tinsley Viaduct (don't ask!) - pissing rain, howling wind, when You Just Don't know by The Broadways came on the iPod. Suddenly nothing else matters - crap day at work? leaky roof? car running on 3 cylinders? - so what. SOUL HEAVEN!!!!!
  22. Soulstu
    Kev, you have EARS!!!!
  23. Soulstu
    Under The Street Lamp - Exits - does it for me. Wonderful, wonderful song. All about friendship and love between best buddies - gets me all maudlin when I've had a few!
  24. Soulstu
    Right! This is a great thread - now we need some real input from the lasses. One of the great things about the soul scene is that it's neither laddish nor girlie - If it's soulful and emotional then it's relevant! I've just been listening to some Marvelettes and Mary Wells, who are OFF THE SCALE! We blokes love tuneful, soulful, female vocalists. Surely the ladies appreciate the tougher stuff, gritty male singers, exciting, dynamic soul tracks. Come on girls - give us some stuff you secretly love! Just downed a bottle of wine so I'm a bit more outspoken than usual! (hic).

    Feel your pain Kimbo, I lost 30 odd in one go many years ago and it was deffo someone I know - can't prove it etc... If any of the tea leaves concerned in all these posts are (god forbid) soul source members - close your accounts down and f** off, you are not soul fans - the discs are worthless in your hands!
