Catching up with this thread this morning and having waited months for the record below to appear on vinyl, I was inclined to come on here and post that I love this just as much as Ernie and that the only difference for me Is the musical style.....both move me an equal amount.....and that it's a shame that this won't sell out like Ernie! So I go for the link at Juno.....to find it's sold out! There is hope!! I will never stop shouting about records I believe 100% in, so whilst I apologise for using this thread to post it....I make no apology for posting it per se. Completely irresistible 21st century black American soul music.....as I say, style aside I see no difference...... https://www.juno.co.uk/products/tkumah-sadeek-i-will-be-there/711944-01/ Cheers, Mark R

Live stream is my big problem.....a bit unforgiving as when it's streamed it's streamed. Easy to get caught up in it though.....I did a couple at Soul Purpose Pink 2 now I come to think of it! Slightly different scenario to your average all nighter environment though....if you know what I mean! Cheers, Mark R

The OVO thing.....

But the limited release was based on what they thought would sell, not just to make it a limited release to make it coveted! They were completely caught out by the interest despite knowing it was a great record, and so despite what they originally said they are now doing a repress and you can't blame 'em. The worst you could do is criticise them for not realising just how much interest there would be in it! Andy Lothian seems a genuine guy to me. As I said, it's this crazy scene that causes this........it's been on MP3 and Soul Togetherness LP for months! Cheers, Mark R

But this isn't the stock market John, it's a piece of newly released music and it's this crazy OVO scene causes this problem, not the record label I'm afraid. It's complete bullshit mate..... Cheers, Mark R

My show broadcast LIVE!! on Sunday 20 January folks. I'll be back on Sunday 3 February 12-2pm GMT. https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/starpointsoulboy/episodes/2019-01-20T06_59_59-08_00 Subscribe in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-music-box-with-mark-randle-on-starpoint-radio/id1437199939 Cheers, Mark R

And there you have it......agree entirely. Doing the legwork, expensive flights, dangerous neighborhoods........fair play if you find a 50 count box and make a bit of money. As for the new release bandits, sitting by their computer snagging copies that others could buy and enjoy........well it becomes a 50 c(o)unt box doesn't it? Cheers, Mark R

Don't misunderstand me.....these are superb comps and I have them all......albeit on CD. I'd be quite happy to have the Ernie track on this CD/LP if it were the only way to buy it, but in the a scenario we are in I would be just as happy to have MP3/45. As it is I have all three. I wonder whether people would rather play Ivan Matias off the compilation LP vinyl rather than the original release JAP CD? Like I say.....funny old world! Cheers, Mark R

Isn't it interesting how we all have our little idiosyncrasies! Because whilst I don't buy into the whole obsession with vinyl only, I don't think the LP counts here being a compilation. In other words I would rather have the MP3 download or the 45. Funny old world ain't it?!! Cheers, Mark R

In no way offended good sir......just stating how it is for me! Cheers, Mark R

Will it? Interesting 'cos it's the one I'm least likely to carry as it's the format I play least off!! All my new 45's are converted to digital for my USB.......or at a push CDR where USB isn't available. I think when you say it's the preferred format of soulboys you are only thinking of a subset of soulboys..... Cheers, Mark R

I make you right......Mercy, Mercy Me, not What's Going On in terms of the percussion I mentioned.......doh! LOL

Especially the start with the atmospheric percussion......... Cheers, Mark R

And anyway......you remember we had (have!) "everyone's a DJ"? Well add to that everyone's a feckin' record dealer!! Cheers, Mark R

I did sir, second track in! First was Amp Fiddler "Seven Mile" Two decent 45's from 2018 I reckon!! And I was on before the others, so in that respect NOT GUILTY! LOL Cheers, Mark R

Yep, I'd say that's pretty much true! Most of you know that I DO understand the vinyl preference, it's mine too, but I just find it laughable that folk are only interested (in something they think is a stunning piece of music BTW) when it arrives on vinyl. It's laughable and very much the downside of that part of the UK soul scene. Anyway, here's a bit of a potted history and some credit where it's due as I understand it, please correct me if you know better: - first brought to many people's attention via Mark Merry's "Soul Sermon" show on Starpoint Radio back in the summer of 2018 - suggested for inclusion on the Expansion yearly (2018) compilation by Roger Williams - released on a 45 on It's Soul Time records by top man Andy Lothian, an ex-pat residing Stateside. So there you go, just enjoy the music! Cheers, Mark R

I'll stick with my original! The rare soul scene eh. Tell me this: if it's that good (which it is, BTW!), would you be prepared to miss out on (supporting) it if it didn't land on a 45? Seems some would which I find totally bizarre! Cheers, Mark R

Hi guys, I know some of you are partial to a bit of house music so I thought it worth posting this mix I put together in the holidays, featuring some personal highlights from 2018! Happy New Year everyone! x Cheers, Mark R
