  1. I've upvoted both Planesoul and Phantom Janitor's posts. They both list a number of events that cater for the broad church that enjoy soul music whether you like the 60's Tamla Motown and Top 500 or more esoteric, rare and underplayed sounds. There does seem to be enough events put on to keep all sides of the debate happy. Peace.
  2. I have a spare copy for sale or trade of Home Of The Blues #11. Sell for £35 inc p&p (UK only) or straight swop for one of the following: Blues & Soul nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 22 or 23 PM me
  3. On my Christmas gift list
  4. Waiting for my copy to drop through the letterbox. Looks like a deserving addition to the series and looking forward to reading the usually excellent sleeve notes.
  5. Always loved this Stevie penned tune
  6. This new release from MD Records has just landed.
  7. Reading B&S in 1980 it would seem that Jazz Funk had taken over the Soul scene. Frank Elson's column was about the only feature to focus on Northern Soul and that was about to be split in two to highlight Jazz Funk events in the Midlands and North. The only reference to the Casino's 7th Anniversary comes as an after event review (of sorts) titled Wigan Casino - The Last Anniversary in Frank Elson's column in B&S 315. Even the club adverts are all promoting Jazz Funk events, even in Manchester.
  8. Yep; got mine from Soul Brother for £11 plus p&p.
  9. For me the excellent vocal from Luther Ingram takes the track to a different level. I do have one question though; how come the vocal version has a single writers credit - Wylie but the instrumental has four writers credits - Aikens, Ingram, Frye & Bateman?
  10. The local HMV in Gloucester is closed although, I think, the Cheltenham store survives. Have, until the last six months, been a regular Amazon customer for CD's, but since I am buying more vinyl I am looking at small independent shops, direct from the label or specialist mail order companies
  11. A few of the tracks have been getting a play on the Soul Brother show on Solar
  12. Looks interesting looking forward to hearing the soundfile when available.
  13. Wasn't Luther involved in the arrangements on the Philadelphia sessions that became the Young Americans LP? More likely he would have heard the Chandlers track don't you think?
  14. If we are discussing 60's Stevie this is the definitive version of the Ron Miller penned song
  15. Received today. Very nice to have both these sides on vinyl.
  16. Was at Hyde Park on Saturday where Stevie explained to the crowd that he will be having kidney transplant surgery in September. Wishing him a speedy recovery
  17. Wasn't both sides issued on Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures vol. 4?
  18. Nice tune but why a £2K price tag?
  19. Unfortunately not, that would have been too Twilight World. Stayed in Penally and got the train in. Manorbier is a lovely little village we visited whilst there. Hadn't been to Tenby since I was a kid. Came on this thread to get some tips on camera purchases. Was considering a Panasonic Lumix FZ 1000 as its got good reviews but have any of our erstwhile David Bailey's had any experience of using it?
  20. WTF Steve just spotted this post. I was also in Tenby on 5th and 6th June with the wife for my birthday; stopped in Carmarthen on way home on the Friday and got soaked! Can certainly vouch it was hot on 6th though; burned the top of my head as I hadn't thought to pack a hat for the trip. By the way Tomangoes, I can offer another recommendation for evening meal at the Baytree Restaurant in centre of town. Apologies to Mods for going off topic......
  21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guUN-5Xpdt0 This is great from the Locked Down album in 2012. The drumming is manic. RIP
  22. Gutted. Misread the announcement on Tuesday completely and thought pre-order was from today. Been away for a few days for my birthday, got home and first thing was to log on and order a copy only to find I missed out. Doh! Can only blame myself....
  23. RIP Chuck This is an absolute classic recorded live at the peak of their powers https://youtu.be/iX3cOtmyyOc
