Jesse James-love is alright and Walter and admerations would do it for me,Eddie Parker -im gone would qualify also!!! BAZ A

Looks like we got posting sound back in the Media soul audio section,know many have missed it so get posting and surfing the various threads ,theres some really nice soul music posted!!! BAZ A PS Dont know if the mods are gonna move this?

I'm not sure there are any other releases on that Mr G, Baz. I wonder if there is a connection between Mr G and the GC labels? Is the "G" in the labels the same person? It would probably be better to look into funk releases from the same area, rather than chase the label. Texas, Jazzman has researched it a lot for the Texas Funk compilation. The culture clash in the area and the studios used gave the best funk sounds in many people's opinion, independents, doing their own things, experimenting with sounds they believed in without commercial constraints. Mavericks of the soul circuit. Carleen and The Groovers, Mickey And The Soul Generation, Soul Seven, Lou Pride et al. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those key bands shared the same studio at some point, the sound from that area is very distinctive. One of the studios used in the area used a sewage pipe for reverb and an old 1950s recording deck. The production is very distinctive, perhaps even unique. Texas is to 'deepfunk' what Detroit is to 'northern'. To be honest I've never really taken much interest in areas, studios, producers etc. I'll do a bit of research for you, Baz, see if I can report back with any info... Fantastic James might link it in with my trip there in October,I think infact I know and many agree that the Lone star state is completely unique not only the Latino/Brown pride stuff but the massive amount of quality from the numerous logos,check out www.texassoulrecordings.com as a brill sttarting point ,im sure bobo contributed to this site also!Like the sound of this Texas funk compilation have you got a link James ? Imstill of the view that it is one of the few states in the us where you can still find tune after tune,gonna try and dig a bit deeper next trip!I can remember when Guy came back from Houston late eighties boy did he have some stuff,sure Kitch and Dean Anderson riaded along with many others,no one picking up rare funk however/could be wrong. i

Mickey And The Soul Generation - How Good Is Good B/W Get Down Brother That's on Mr G. Same label? Texas? I assume not, although I've not really thought about it... NOT CONNECTED BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ID LOVE MORE INFORMATION ON OTHER RELEASES ON THIS MR G IF STUFF IS AS MICKEY AND SOUL GENERATION DEFINETLY WORTH CHECKING OUT!! BAZ A

Baz, There's also GWP's Grapevine label that had these two great releases on it. Ady TAYLOR, DEBBIE Stop GWP GRAPEVINE 202 TAYLOR, DEBBIE Don't Nobody Mess With My Baby GWP GRAPEVINE 202 PERSIANS, The I Can't Take It Anymore GWP GRAPEVINE 201 PERSIANS, The Detour GWP GRAPEVINE 201 Hello mate played detour the other night , it sounded brilliant,sure cant take no more got some casino action?

, One that really gets me is MARCELLE STRONG+THE TRIAD ON EMERGE sheer gut wrenghing masterpiece !!! Few others would be SOUL STRIRRERS -TRAVELING ON --really in all my collecting never been gripped by a more soulful piece, Millie Jackson CAUGHT UP AND STILL CAUGHT UP the whole of the 2 albums in the right mood get the tears flowing!!! finally the Master Curtis Mayfield SOULFUL LOVE-IM LOVING NOTHING,and the piece de resistance and the reason why i prefer the deeper side every time the IMMACULATE CHOICE OF COLOURS civil rights anthem and absolute masterpiece. BAZ A
