Lonely Man is such a great record

I think that seems to be cause of a lot of these kind of experiences discussed - the crossover between different scenes that have different histories and baggage (as all scenes do). Plus there is racism in all walks of life if we're honest. I'd say in general racism at soul events (considering they are mostly white attended affairs) is minimal compared to the kind of shit you hear as par for the course in ordinary pubs and clubs, particularly in areas like i'm from in South London. I don't think you could ever say any scene is free of this sort of nonsense - and homophobia is still rife across the board btw, no-one seems to give a shit about that - but at the end of the day does the soul scene suffer from ingrained racism so badly that it needs mentioning for no reason whatsoever by a down at heel Corrie actor / populist DJ in a Guardian article about contemporary pop artists? No it doesn't.

Pretty sure he did yes

brillant but the beat is hard to dance to

Try Manship for Danny & The Tejanos...

Try Driveller (Nick Brown)...

Is the Ghost Squad a version of Spencer Davis Group? Maybe called that as the song appears in the Ghost Goes Gear?

Great record Lenny - sadly had to let my test press go last year. Still kicking myself :(:(

Wot he said above!

Nope there wasn't. Unsurprising.

What a prat. I'll wager there was no counterbalance to his comments either?

'Never no more' - glaring double negative. Tut.

This is great and then you realise it actually HAS got the Road Runner in it.

Two great records - especially the tommy hunt

Had it sold it - alright but lacks something.

Don't get any cooler than this:

One of the best records i've ever heard bar none - RIP to the King.

Yeah i've had a few listens to this over the last couple of weeks and both bits of it are great they just don't gel together in the same record that well Mind you plenty of disparate records in that vein have gone big...

Wish i'd never sold my copy - such an awesome guitar break. Great article too thanks for sharing.

I can think of a certain one that i'd be interested to find out the true title of :)

Amazing record

Jimmy Gresham - what a record!

Missed out on this last night - anyone got a spare? VG+ upward is poss. Ta!

VG+ upward required please!
