    Not sure if this is sarcastic. I play Modern Soul more than Northern these days at home. It's not the concept that annoys here, it is the selections. But as said earlier, it is a pop show really.

    Its hard now to get across how important Landslide was. Just a monster. Seems slow here to me and definitely lacking dynamics. Not playing it off a decently mastered CD. It's The Beat now kids!

    Bob Brady EGTTL-I. Blue eyed Smokey Robinson style hippy homage from the early days. Love that piano. Landslide and more Major Lance coming.

    I know but there will be casual readers of the forum today who may not pick up on that.

    Going back to Sweet Things, it is incredible that stomper s are too fast to play now. In fact they may clear some floors. That's what I went out to hear, faster the better when I was a youth. Get on some Dean Parrish or Bobby Paris and get yourself running to the floor.

    I think no vinyl at all. They are all CD rips. There are multiples off the same few CDs.

    John Newman. WTF! To show continuing influence play something like The Revelations version of'Why When The Love Is Gone' or Jo Stance 'Hey Girl'. I don't really hear it here. Plan B, oh f-ck off. How long before Duffy? What is she on about with this foot slipping thing. A foot movement does not genre alignment make!

    Sweet Things. Drawing off the Soul Time CD volume 1 CD for a few tracks today.

    'John Newman and Plan B coming soon'....?

    Little Richard. Three off one Okeh CD now...It's Okeh Up North I think. If he hadn't felt bad before he joined Okeh he would have after her intro 'career in a downward spiral'. I'm still surprised a record paid in 2013 for Texas to record a video in Detroit as she said earlier.

    Takes me back to back to back plays with Jimmy Frazer. Needed a rest after those two. Lorraine Chandler 'I Can't Hold On'. Must be a day time mainstream radio first play for many of these.

    Hold On To My Baby. Proper. Marvin Gaye now with Love Starved Heart. Tore me up along with When I Feel The Need in the 90s.

    It's the news..time for the record bar. Back with....Tainted Love. Inevitable. Kind of thing my wife loves in the car these days. Overplays don't detract from the song though. Perfection?

    Lee David. Sounding great through big speakers here. The rhythm section makes this one. Those bass and drums will never get old. One for the haze of an early hours of the morning dancefloor.

    Chalky brace yourself....Amy Winehouse. Now this really has no place here to me and is bound to contribute to the term Northern Soul becoming ever more generic.

    I think Sharleen is alternatively speaking from notes and off the cuff. It needed a producer and a run through to polish it. But she is undoubtedly keen.
  17. Thinksmart
    More Okeh....Major Lance 'Investigate'. A favourite from way back.

    These tracks do have my wife singing along so it means the show is working to its target audience.

    Oh dear ... 'Don't go away as I have some Chuck Wood, Al Wilson coming'. Advert on for the Lenny Gamble soul city shows sounds very fresh in comparison.
  20. Thinksmart
    Epitome of Sound next. Far too much talking between the records, especially as they are fading the records out very early. Sharleen seemed to realise it herself.
  21. Thinksmart
    Williams and Watson 'Too Late' always class. There could be a wonderful radio show just with Okeh label tracks. Interesting bit on recording techniques at Motown. Edwin Collins on now as an NS inspired track. For a R2 audience it may be useful to show the link. Its at least preferable to playing Wayne Gibson.
  22. Thinksmart
    She's warbling on about there not being many female singers in Northern Soul. Clearly nonsense. Playing Rose Batiste 'Hit and Run' which is a welcome inclusion probably not known by casual listeners.
  23. Thinksmart
    Being fair to her I envisage the music was inserted and she just did the links. So far obvious plays OOTF FW COTB LATIAO now Shirley Ellis 'Soul Time'.
  24. Thinksmart
    Second song in.....Frank Wilson in the crap 80s synth version and Sharleen doesn't even realise. Jeez....
  25. Thinksmart
    Kent has now released two CDs of country covers by soul artists.
