As was said , I buy anything on Expansion, Ace Family (Kent, BGP, Westbound etc), Soul,Outta Sight, Dome, BBR, Harmless, Reel People/Papa, Acid Jazz and loads more. Anyone relying on streaming services for Soul / Rhythm I& Blues / Jazz / Funk etc is missing out on a huge amount. Ace family on its own has issued many more than 20 wonderful CDs since the one mentioned.

Yesterday I buy constantly, both new releases by current artists and reissues/compilations. I am always looking for soul music I haven't got or recently discovered. CD is my main buying format and I probably spend £150-£200 a month on it (some of which gets sold on, most kept). I also buy some.fownloads for tracks not available on CD or now out of print on CD. I thought yesterday so its current and ongoing with me.

Not yet, it's not at Amazon who usually are quick off the mark - nor at Acerecords.co.uk

Ady must of been listening! Kent is reissuing 'On The Soul Side' on CD with the original cover and twelve extra tracks. I saw it on Amazon rather than their own site as yet. It's made my weekend. Let's hope for many more like this. Of course it's a treasure trove of Minit, Liberty and United Artists classic Northern Soul sides. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BY6J41X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The ones on Music Stack had one with the short tracklisting and on with 19 tracks with them listed. So that was the one. I will check out the other CD of his mentioned.

Thanks. I found the CD on MusicStack and have ordered. For those trying to get 'Big Man Cry' and others on CD it is the expanded version of the 'It's Party Time' CD with 'Revived' added to the title.

Thanks James - I appreciate you taking a look.

Hi, Ernie issued an extended best of that had Big Man Cry and others on it that was a very short run release. It was quickly deleted and I wonder if anyone has one I could buy or as deleted, get a CDr from for personal listening only. I know Big Man Cry was issued on a French CD series called Killer Soul volume 16 that is now itself deleted. Any help in obtaining the CD is appreciated. I have looked extensively and cannot find it. Thanks.

Buy the original Luther LP. perhaps.

Special Lady by Isaiah Sharkey from his new Love.Life.Live album will work very well on the Modern Soul scene. It slows at four minute msrk but is pefect until then in a Donny Hathaway, Leroy Hutson midtempo style.

Stateside records did a few single artist and compilations with Liberty tracks I think.

Seriously, do not wander off on foot - central Cape Town can seem safe but get less so quickly. Have a great time - the coast towns behind Table mountain are very nice to visit.

Just happy to see him happy and working. Will take a listen.

There is a double CD of the label called 'Lost and Found' with both of these great tracks on and many more from the label. It is a great set. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Found-Blue-Rock-Records/dp/B000009HEB

Thanks, I look forward to reading. I think Thom is a little underappreciated in comparison to some producers and writers.

Thanks for the music. Love The Chants song, had it on a demo and crazily sold it for a decent sum. I should of kept it.

I think this is more accurately Ken Knox and Company and the song title just 'You' released on Sophee Records in 2012. Available on legal download at Amazon, CDBaby and no doubt others. Ken is from latter period Chairmen of the Board and Beach Music scene. He is fronting them now In a revived line up I believe. Recent songs available on Disco Soul Gold. Hope that is accurate and helps Mark

New Diane Shaw album.arrived yesterday. Hurrah.

Great singer in the band and solo. Here is one of his plays.

Crack of Dawn album good at year end. Simon Law was great earlier in summer. I2 Love Music compilation Sheena Johnson as others said - new album is classic soul songs done in original 60's style. Very good contemporary Northern Soul. Kim Gibbs was great. Curtis Harding is quite good. Got but not concentrated on the Eric Roberson triple mini album series yet. Sedsoul singles and Disco Soul Gold recent compilations. Hide & Seek comp was great. Kenny Lattimore album is nice. Funkadelic reworks is fun. Calvin Richardson, Marc Staggers albums were good. Diane Shaw in new year (MP3s released but CD in next week or so). More when I get back to computer. Tons of new releases due early in 18.

That post is wonderful! What a testament to the work and looking forward to the CD.

I fundamentally disagree that there isn't such a thing as Soul music today. Have a listen to the new album by Sugaray Rayford and many other artists. It's not in the charts but there is a lot around.

Sad news. Great memories from his songs on our scene.

I think the riff is ultimately a faster play on the blues riff in Mannish Boy / I'm A Man. The original poster was spot on and I'd never noticed the similarly in emphasis if not sound to 'You Really Got Me'. The most obvious influence to the record in style is in all those frantic Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels records, especially 'Jenny Take A Ride'.
