Consider this an order, Francis! Looking forward to hearing you, John and Rob on Friday. Sean

Nice one Godzilla. Don't think "Kick That Little Foot" had such a release as I have a straight w/d somewhere. Awesome thread this and pretty amazing how new ones keep showing up. Sean

or as an old workmate told me "Soul Music... for people who don't like real Soul Music"

Aha! Which only goes to show.... Perception is Everything! Sean

A brilliant boardwalk, a shining street, a twinkling terrace, a..... ... bit of a dive really!

A brightened boulevard, a radiant roadway, an enlightened esplanade! Sean

Off the top of me head, faves include: Peggy Scott "Don't Hurt Yourself" Debbie Taylor "No Deposit, No Return" Dee Dee Warwick "Foolish Fool" Doris Duke "Feet Start Walking" Loleatta Holloway "I'll Be Gone" Lorraine Johnson "If You Want Me To Be More Of a Woman" Millie Jackson "You Can't Stand The Thought" Oooooh... I do like a gutsy lady! Sean

Which one? Sean

Got back last night Steve. Only managed to get on here a couple of times while away (too much Sun & Sangria)... so now I've got to get a few hours in to catch up .

I reckon it's become the most non-descriptive and often misused term on the scene, Chalks, (along with 'Crossover' of course ). The definitions seem to be so subjective and personal these days. The term Modern Soul has certainly lost any true and broadly accepted identity. The descriptions, I see on here, tend to fall under the following: Definition 1 - Modern Soul - Recently recorded Soul Music. Definition 2 - Modern soul - All Soul Music recorded after 1969 up until today. Definition 3 - Modern Soul - Any Soul Music from the 70's and Early 80's played on the Northern Scene. Definition 4 - Modern Soul - Not Northern. Definition 5 - Modern Soul - Disco. There may be other interpretations, but those tend to be the main ones. Sean

I have the LP too John. Great cover! Dont know about you but "Slipping" always reminds me of Paul Rowan at Raquels in Wakefield. Pretty sure that's where I heard it first! Still love the tune to bits! Sean

Me neither buddy! Right... back on topic... anyone got a James Taylor for Cliff? Sean

Don't know if you've heard the blinding 45 on Casino, Gareth n' Cliff by James Taylor "If It's Love"? Superb Al Green / Royal studios soundalike. Luvverly stuff. Hope you are well. Will we C U at the seaside? Sean

Clifton Hall mini classic, Cliff! ...so right for now! sean

Worth noting that Cigarette Ashes was not Johnny Caswell, but Jimmy Conwell and Spellbound was not on Contempo 'Raries' but the main Contempo label. Other than that, Bettye Swann "Make Me Yours" had its third UK issue on the Raries logo. Sean

That's Nat T Jones "Moving Forward". I have two copies - but you're right Pete - very hard to come by. Sean

Where are we up to? I've bin packing. Am off to Lanzarote in a few hours (or is it Llandudno?) so I'll be out of the game for a few weeks (or is it days?). Anyway, I've got pretty much everything so just count me as a yes for whatever comes up! Enjoy playmates! Sean

Wax Trax/Rich Rosen has nice records, but charges Top Dollar and is a bit of a mean Mutha.

So its a N.O. NO then?

Got all them. What happened to Willie Tee?

Ah, thanks Benji & John. My eyes aint wot they used to be! Sean

Sean

I always thought it was written about my sister Has Sir gone to bed to yet? Sp where are we up to? What happened to Willie Tee?

Me neither. Right then. I'm going home poorly before he gets back!
