Couple of questions about this CD. What’s the sound quality like? And I noticed that there’s two different covers is it the same CD or is one better than the other. Thanks

Brilliant cd. Superb sound quality. Love most tracks particularly Little Nicky and Kim Weston both new to me. Unbelievable for me to hear new material after all these years and hundreds of cds. It’s a shame that cds are on the decline just when the sound quality has got so good. Now I’ve finally got some decent speakers I can hear the difference between good and poor sound mastering. I wish we could have some reissues of all those classic Kent LPs. Perhaps even some Ernest Mosely, George Blackwell and Mel Britt. I live in hope!

Cleaning out the attic today found hundreds of record lists from the seventies. Soul boul, record haven etc etc also found black echoes '76 to '80

Thanks for the link...interesting read "In the same stack was another single — “Heartache Souvenirs"/"Chicken Shack,” by William Powell — that has fetched as much as $5,000 on eBay. Nearby sat a Cuban album by Ivette Hernandez, a pianist who left Cuba after Fidel Castro took power"

Thanks for posting the flyer I had a look for mine but couldn't find it. I remembered it looking a bit scrappy with the Andrea Henry label on the side (first time I heard it was there and loved it). I didn't realise that was the first one. It was a brilliant night, packed, people were even dancing on the stage. I must do a re-edit and put the flyer in.

The year? I couldn't remember for sure, but 1994 fits with the guy I went with who moved to Scotland soon after. Also later on in the night one dj mentioned a forthcoming event on Friday the 17th June. I was looking for the flyer which I have somewhere (it had records round the edges one of which was "need you like a baby" which I think Richard played). I will try to upload the whole video sometime. I also have a load of photos from Stafford that need digging out and sorting. I have time at the moment as I've just had an op. re. Stafford... had to say I'm really enjoying the podcasts on soul underground, brilliant stuff.

I don't know who the first dj is. He was working with Richard for some of the time at the beginning of the night. Gary is the guy with the back to back super rare stuff. He did about 2 hours and seemed to have just about every top rare sound of the day. I never hear of him these days did he sell up?
