    Another Treasure Isle classic with prominent violin is Alton Ellis' "All My Tears Come Rolling".

    Show Me The Way Heatwave Nowhere To Run Love Guess Who A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Every Day)

    Why was Pharrell dressed like a reggae singer from the late 70s?
  4. Biggordy
    Cavaliers - "Ooh It Hurts Me".
  5. Biggordy
    It's on a CD called Made In Jamaica and a 45 both on Peckings.

    Duke Reid never went to New York. He died in 1975 and Treasure Isle was bought out by Sonia Pottinger.

    And there's those of us who WANT to attend such venues but don't drive and don't know anyone locally who goes to them.......(and don't get me started on train fares, hotel costs etc!!!)

    The problem isn't the people pressing the tunes, it's muppets playing them out at events.
  9. Biggordy
    People totally miss the point - pressings are NOT aimed at collectors, they're so us common scum can "own" the tune.
  10. Biggordy
    Pressings have a place. Personally I can't afford rare originals. I don't play soul music out (though I am a ska and reggae DJ) and I listen to it in the comfort of my own home. I love vinyl, so it's an affordable compromise. THAT'S who repressings are aimed at, not collectors. Get off your high horse.

    This is a fantastic oldie of Len's:

    I've got 26 CD's of Bluebeat 45s that were swapped between collectors around five or six years ago now. The released CDs in the shops don't have the best stuff on as the copyright laws changed to 70 years from 50 years at the start of this year, so I'm afraid we won't see 1963-67 unless they can work out a deal for the rights....

    It wouldn't be Lee Perry or Bunny Lee making the noises as it was a Derrick Harriott production! Hold Down is overrated IMO, Sufferer is the much better tune.
  14. Biggordy
    It would be an even better record if it didn't sound off centre......

    For years I thought that "Ain't No Need" was a Bobby Bland record! Very similar style.

    Forgot to add feedback when I got mine so will do it now. Great adapters and a total steal at the price, all 45s fit like a glove now. Cheers Gordy

    I heard Pete S has a cracked copy of the Carstairs. Cracked into about 20 pieces
  18. Biggordy
    Holds 24 records. I'd need about 350 of them.
  19. Biggordy
    Think it might be this?
  20. Biggordy
    What's the name of the hip hop group?
  21. Biggordy
    The History Of Soul label is amazing. Every release so far is recommended and are a "history of soul" indeed. Shame that it'll come to and end with the 50 year copyright laws reverting to 70 from next year.

    All these cheapies that aren't selling, pass them on to me. I couldn't give a flying one about whether a tune's in demand or not. If it's good I'll buy it. On a side note, my Dad passed away recently. I've been left a nice five figure sum in his will, I'll be putting aside three or four grand for records and my aim is to get as many as I can for my money, not four records at a grand each or ten at £400........

    Keb had made his FB page public so that people can read his posts and view his photos and videos. I was able to look earlier. The man deserves a medal and I hope that the mainstream media pick up on this, more people need to be aware of this incredible human being and his exposure of the truth.

    A group often credited with being one of the "proto-soul" pioneers as such are the Five Royales. Their big hit "Think" was a massive influence on James Brown amongst others (he went on to cover it of course).

    Also don't forget the great mod instrumentals he made with his band:
