I thought that .. but then I edited to the Admirations (after someone far more into 60's had said ) anyone got a soundfile ? +++++++++++++++ The Original rare groove scene ( The gigs Coldcut were involved in Meltdown etc ) incorparated a lot of electro productions .. two examples a rare one by, MB and the Rome Jeffries 12( a soul sam fav ) replayed 18 months after its release, quite hard to get , a record way ahead of its time .. Rare groove 1984 was not only about Retro Funk & Soul ..and most of the records were not really ultra rare JA had every title , boxes of em and sometimes gave away the 12's that he had on promo of early house and electro Cheers

Johnathan Moore and Norman Jay more or less started the Rare Groove scene , they embraced Electronic productions , ( some electronic stuff is obsure and rare even back in the 80's ask soulfulsaint ) the Modern Soul scene certainly embraced electronic productions too .

Yes well , hmmm sorry lads .. I think soulfulsaint should start a Go Go thread , he also knew a few Go Go girls back then well cool Im off down the pub Ciao

No the original Rare groove scene thrived on Electronic production too . The retro Funk , jazz and soul that was just a part of it . Coldcut DJ Johnanthan could play Shannon , Eddie Bo , then Ronnie Mcnier ( new lp) to packed dancefloors . in one spot One of the Best DJ's ever Johnathan Moore . !!

I think the slower sounds just came into vogue in USA with producers . The Rare Groove scene was a kick back at the Tony Blackburn and Caister scenes ,. I met Johnathan Moore at John Andersons early 1984 and on the train back he told me about his doo's . Amazing gigs with Electro and Go Go played alongside Funk jazz , very early House and modern soul !!

The slower stepper stuff came into vogue around late 1984 . The tempo had slowed considerably in normal soul clubs too like Flicks . eg . Controllers Stay. Around 87 Searling took the pace of the modern soul dancefloors to lets say swaying mode . The 2 step scene started in London 84/85ish and included many of the now , crossover/70's ..Having said that ,Im not sure what crossover is LOL The Modern Scene ,in the 80's always had a variety of tempo's that's what made it great ! Most deejays got the blend of tempos just right .. I think most had the Cut Class 7 , as the 12 was sort after by completely different scene .

Geraldine Hunt "look all around " was a resonable hit on release . I think it got UK issue too , as Im sure my sister has a copy Dont remember it being featured by modern scene jocks , but I may be wrong .

Well he knows what Jimjams he still wears Just havin a laugh Steve

Ha Ha , I was thinking that Mark .. ( Sammy boy does buy the odd new release tune though as you well know from your Bass doo ) Some dont buy any at all !!

That was quick Dave .. I was gona post a remix , with Disco drums

Well thats it in Black and White... Cool ! . I still have a feeling that John Anderson may have coined the term in discussions with Sam ( as he did a little later with the term " Indie Soul ) but you'd have to get Sam and John to confirm that Simon Murray

Sexy Soul , better than , Sexy Football

Slightly pornographic

Anacostia " What kind of love " MCA

Sam got one from Santa , and two mates got one each a while ago

Perhaps harder than Mixed Feelings now ..Its NewOrleans ,

No not yours Gash .. Seems to be a few turning up though

Revelation " Shout for Joy " Handshake is great too

But what has happenned to those ealry 80's releases? They are all safe and sound , with the original early 80's Modern Soulies .. although many 80's modern records go to japanese collectors
