Simon M

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

Dam I know of a copy , that was up for trades for modern stuff

Dont tell me youve got a DSOF , C.Coulter , and a Mixed Feelings now

Guy H ,was 60's only then .. but Ive been told he was first to play Joseph Webster .( obviously not a 60's record ) Its was certainly a good dancer ..

I think we need Pete S , on that one . I would guess its ultra rare !!

think it was "Man oh Man"

Charles Johnson , Tavasco , Pro Fasination , Seville , Co Co & Ben , Tony Troutman .. Fabulous Playmates ,

Soul Bowl and John Manship, 5 records for £6 including Charles Johnson... ahhhh.. Exciting times indeed............ You certainly got a lot more sounds for your money , some of the £2.00 to £5.00 modern records are over £500 now even close to £1k .

Good one Bazza . Ive always been told by my elders that proper Northern is 60's soul with a stomper beat . Always remember Guy , at Fleet , saying " Proper Nothern Soul " and then bang Walter and the Somethings ... hmmm forgot now !!

I know some original Mods .. they just called it soul .. ( ahhh nice n easy ) Marriot was one of the first Soul n Blues collector/trainspotter types , so Im told .

I was talking about that Jesse Mitchell ( a blue 12 ? a great dancer ) , with Paul and Gary at the Bass .. ( Paul's got some very obscure 12's btw) Absolutely right about the turnover of records, luckily they were mainly cheap (at most £50 maybe more for big sounds like Pokes biggies) By 1983 or maybe earlier the Modern Soul term had spread to Japan , with Dr Soul ( Hitoshi Takasawa ) leading the way . See his playlist on the link below https://www.soul-treasures.com/andmore/USA1/usa1.htm Also London's pirate DJ 's were playing a lot of the titles but not many of the really rare ones, these still being held by all-nighter dj's .. Thanks for the New stuff Robin , will start playing through today ! Simon M ps. It certainly looks like Martin (aka Soul Sam ) started the modern soul term as he strived to bring forward a new scene .

Ahh ok , Ive got the Lp , but never flicked by a 7 .

Dont tell me youve got a 7'' of the Clarence Carter " Im so tired" ? Clarence Carter / I'm So Tired / Venture

I believe Darren on here has loads of old flyers too. Essential memory aids these days for the kids of the 80's .. ( Robin aside, he can remember almost everything . dont play name the coverup with him !! . ).

Dear me Mark , amazing that youve still got that

I remember that .. early 1985 I think .. James Govan was a big sound and was being played on the Pirates and at nighters ( late 1984)
