Pigeon Thing

...Morning All, not sure if this is picked up elsewhere on the site but Honest Jons have a checker gospel comp out, picking up where the savoy series left off...I appreciate its a comp and there are other checker comps out there but they are normally put together well, decent pressings and have canny packaging... and its a lovely shop... https://honestjons.com/shop/artist/Life_In_Heaven_Is_Free/release/Checker_Gospel_1961-1973

Yeah agree it's a totally different vocal take but def doesn't sound anything like Rudy Love? his natural register is higher...soz as just agreeing with you and adding no info that your looking for...

yup...good groove on crown street sort of between Oxford street and Surrey hills...

...a few years earlier but I used to go to "get down" at the exchange hotel on Oxford street, think I have a flyer, will dig it out and scan, I think it was something to do with the folk from Good Groove records which was a canny shop for digging...

...from the "first take" lp version...soz forgot to put that...

Hi All, quick question hoping someone may know.. regarding "Roberta Flack's - compared to what", apart from removing verses to fit a 7" time wise , is the single a different take recorded at the same session? a totally different session ? or just cut / edited from the same tapes... thanks for any info / knowledge folk may have on this..

...This was great...well made film that didn't drag...well worth a watch if you get the chance...q&a was good afterwards...sadly though yet another story of working musicians getting ripped off...Don Letts touched on "authenticity" in the q&a which was an interesting theme which is picked up in the doc... doing the rounds of film fests at the minute but will prob be on streaming things I expect...

Record world directory 1969 adds Larry Foster to the mix if that sparks anything? Jaysina Productions (MortyJay, Sandy Sina, Larry Foster) 143 west 51st street

technics rubber matts are best for technics decks if you are just playing / listening, and want the best quality...if your djing and you need to cue up records they wont work, unless you turn the deck off... if that makes sense...

...off to this next week, with a q&a with the band and Don Letts..looking forward to it..

its Cleo Sol on the vocal, and co wrote it...agree it has a 90's thing going on...

...I call it love...I love the backing track, the guitars are great...just help cushion the vocals..

...its in the car where I play the digital stuff...but I just use an aux cable or bluetooth to connect from my phone...I appreciate the compression on internet streaming doesn't make for the best sound quality but our cars rattles enough and its just got bog standard speakers in anyway...so does the job...

...I find mixcloud great...theres quite a few soul source members stick there mix's up on the soul media section of the forum...its not quite Spotify as you can't pick and choose yr tracks but there put together by folk who know a thing or two and not an algorithm...also for me its a plus because I'm constantly hearing new things...
