    Just Soul On Solar Radio - Tats Taylor & Sean Hampsey

    in All About the SOUL

    Posted

    Following the success of Just Soul 4...

    ...Just Soul comes to the airwaves this coming weekend...

    Sunday 21st Nov (10am-Midday) - a two hour 'Just Soul' special with Tats Taylor and Sean Hampsey on Solar Radio.

    Solar Radio can be found on www.solarradio.com OR you can get it on Sky Channel 0129 (why not Sky+ it and listen later!) OR you can check the link www.soulmusic.co.uk/Radio.htm later in the week to download the whole show (courtesy of Zane Hunter).

    So, if you're already part of the Just Soul fraternity, or just want to know what all the fuss is about, please join myself and Tats on Solar Radio's 'Soul People' (or listen later) next Sunday morning.

    We're looking forward to sharing a couple of hours of 'Just Soul' music with you!

    Rarest Tamla Motown Lp

    in Look At Your Box

    Posted

    Does anyone have any facts about which Tamla Motown LP was pressed in the least numbers, excluding the Martin Luther King release. My reason for asking is that after a discussion with a long standing dealer, we both agreed that `The Temptations Sing Smokey` TML11016 is rarely seen for sale for example.

    Hi Keith, interesting that.

    Back around 1970 a mad keen Temptations fan in my village (not the ooonly Temptations fan in the village mind :thumbsup:) told me that he was finding it impossible to get hold of `The Temptations Sing Smokey` and "Temptin' Temptations" albums.

    I guess if they were tough 40 years ago they're gonna be really tough now.

    No idea how many were pressed.

    Book On The 1980S Scene

    in All About the SOUL

    Posted

    I've decided to write a book on the 80's / 90's Rare Soul scene , the clubs big and small , the influential characters , who discovered the records , cover ups , drugs ,New 60's/ 70's discoveries , new and recent releases of the time , crossover Soul , and want it to be a tribute to the largely unsung Heroes who kept the Rare Soul flame burning after Wigan closed etc .I want to interview all the major players on the scene , record dealers ,DJ's , characters , so any information ,stories , flyers etc would be very welcome . I'm going to write the book in 5 year blocks , so the first section will be 1981 - 1986 and cover Maxims Wigan , Clifton Hall Rotherham , Rebels Sheffield , Stafford , 100 Club , Morecombe, Yate [ 2nd time around ] and the clubs North of the border , plus any I've forgotten or unaware of . As someone who's never left the scene since joining it in 1972 , I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this project .Don't know how long it will take , but want to do the subject justice and get it right . Many thanks for any help ....Eddie

    Good stuff Eddie, you'd be just the man for the job! :wicked:

    I'd be glad to help (Clifton, Cleethorpes, Warrington, Bradford, Pitches etc.).

    Top man!

    Chuck Armstrong

    Good question Gareth.

    I've always loved this song (by Geater) and was blown away when I first got the Chuck Armstrong version.

    I have it on the 'Testifiyin' Charly LP and I think (without hunting for it) it was believed to be unreleased at the time of issue.

    Pretty sure there's no 45.

    Hi Sean,

    I know i added the title wrong on this ad. but i've been searching under the correct title so i'm not a complete twit...although i do have my moments! I get Paul's list but cannot find his email address and the contact link on his site doesn't work so do you by any chance have his email address as i want to ask him something?

    Ste.

    I've sold two copies this year, the last was just a few weeks ago - a mint UK promo for £40.00

    A fair price I think, especially for eBay.

    Paul

    ...having said that, I often make the (costly) mistake of assuming a record isn't rare just because I've had a few copies over the years.

    I saw it Paul and nearly bid on it, but had only recently picked up the issue.

    Its a 50+ quidder of anybody's money, these days.
