    Still looking for this one folks.

    Does anyone know of anyone who may have a copy that might be tempted to sell it to me?

    Top price paid.

    Many thanks

    Would be much better if someone could sort me this record out mate :)

    Good seeing you last night - Looking as good as ever, busting them moves on the dancefloor, like a veteran!

    And glad I could help out with the Elf label question.

    I walked away thinking, do you think I was there for the good of me elf?

    :thumbsup:

    Cheers, Derek.

    Record shops in New Orleans any advice

    in All About the SOUL

    Yes, that is a shame if Jims has ceased trading. 

    Had some great stuff out of there.

    Jim Russell is legend in New Orleans. Before his store he was a Radio DJ, in the sixties.

    He once barricaded himself in the station (Shawshank style) as the station wanted to stop him from playing 'race music'.

    He had many great tales to tell and even introduced me to the Dixie Cups once in the store.

    New Album Alert - The Very Best of Bettye Swann

    in All About the SOUL

    Posted · Edited by Sean Hampsey

    Evening all.

    Just had to give you a shout about this stunning new Bettye Swann compilation from Ace / Kent, featuring some of the finest tracks from right across her illustrious soul career.

    Money - Capitol - FAME - Atlantic 1964 - 1975

    Compiled with a great deal of love by Ady Croasdell it kicks off with the one track I vividly remember buying, on recommendation from my old friend Dave Godin, as he raved about it in Blues & Soul; the totally gorgeous 'Make Me Yours'. As we all know, a 24 carat soul music gem.

    From there it includes the stunning slice of Muscle Shoals 'I'm Just Living A Lie' from FAME, the wonderful 'Today I Started Loving You Again' the recent massive spin 'When The Game Is Played On You' crossover monster's 'Kiss My Love Goodbye' and 'I Want Sunday Back Again' plus superior ballad excellence in the shape of 'Time To Say Goodbye' and the recently unearthed 'Either You Love Me Or You leave Me'.

    Take a few minutes and feast your ears on the YouTube video with just a few snippets as a taster. Then tootle across to Amazon or Ace (or your favourite retailer of really great Soul Music) and, for less than a night at the pictures, grab yourself one of the finest female vocal compilations in a very long time.

    Cheers,

    :thumbsup:

    Out Soon! - Masterpieces of Modern Soul Vol 4 From Ace/Kent Unmissable

    in All About the SOUL

    Just want to alert ya'll to this stunning compilation, out at the end of the month, from Ace / Kent.

    This is the fourth in the series and contains so many fabulous unknown, underplayed and unreleased tracks, several of which, I'm very pleased to say, have been firm favourites in the playlists of Steve Plumb and yours truly for quite a while!

    Do yourself a favour and take a listen to the YouTube video. In particular, I urge you to listen out for "Never Felt This Way Before" from The New Experience which is bound to go on and do even greater things on the dancefloor, and the blinding "I've Never Been In Love” from Alvin Robinson, a raw, killer vocal version of the CP Love 'Chimneyville' crossover classic that's met with masses of approval every time I've played it out!

    The hard work, as usual, has been down to Ady Croasdell (Happy Birthday, Chief) for your listening pleasure, so I urge all fans of 'modern' and 'Crossover' Soul to pick up this fabulous collection and give these great, recently unearthed, tracks the exposure they certainly deserve!

    Cheers everyone,

    Sean X

    Great stuff. A few memories there. The Birdcage was indeed in Barnsley at Hoyland. First time I heard 'Cool Jerk' was at 'bud cage' as it was pronounced locally! 

    Also, remember Terry Collins 'I LOVE You'  being played there as a new release a couple of years later. 

    Good times!

    New release Northern hits

    in All About the SOUL

    Posted · Edited by Sean Hampsey

    What era are you looking for Ady?

    Those that were big in the 70's only?

    There's a few good examples above from the 70's.

    You could also throw in Carstairs, Montclairs, Ernie Bush, Invitations 'Look On The Good Side', Johnny Johnson 'HoneyBee" - Jimmy James 'A Man Like Me', John Miles 'One Minute Every Hour' - Eddie Holman 'This Could Be A Night To Remember' Junior Walker 'I Aint Going Nowhere', Terry Collins 'I Love You' etc.

    But if Greg Perry counts and you include tracks from the 80's etc. I guess you could include Bobby King - If You Don't want My Love -  Charles Johnson - Never Had A Love So Good, Otis Clay - Only Way Is Up - Echo, Johnny Bristol - Love No Longer Has A Hold On Me - Handshake, Keni Burke - Let Somebody Love You - RCA, Bileo - You Can Win - MTU Watts City, Atlantic Starr - Circles - A&M, Bobby Womack - So Many Sides Of You - Motown, Dells - Your Song - 20th Century etc.

    They were all massive at Northern Allnighters and we saw them very much as 'Northern Soul' at the time - as opposed to exclusively 'Modern'.

    :thumbsup:
