Is this on the "Vivo" label compilation CD that contains her "My Sedative" cut too, or is it a solo album? Cheers, Mark R

I realise that this is a Northern/rare soul forum, but those inquisitive souls amongst you who occasionally pop your heads into "that other room" at some of the two-roomed events, or just like soul music in all it's guises, might care to join me for my first guest show on Starpoint Radio, which will be broadcast over the coming week as follows: Friday 14th April - 5-7pm - www.starpointradio.com Sunday 16th April - 4-6pm - www.starpointradio.com Thursday 20th April - 11pm-1am - Sky Digital Ch 0163 Time permitting, this will be the first in a series of guest shows for the station..........your company would be appreciated. As you may expect, music policy is new/recent releases. Cheers, Mark R

The music and the artists that provide us with this great pleasure coming first............now there's a thought!

Top, top tuneage..........great record.................listen out for the "bust my pants" line from the lead male vocalist.........class lyric that one Cheers, Mark R

Coincidentally, just been spinnin' the both of 'em in the old record room mate

Think you are definitely mis-representing several quality modern nights which feature their fair share of new release material with that statement. For example, here is my most recent Without Boundaries (Bass Museum) playlist, actually from Xmas so those new releases are oldies now Carlton - Flyaway James Day feat. Jeff Ramsey - Don't Waste The Pretty Ginuwine - Want U To Be Anthony Hamilton - Change Your World Jascat - My Love The Unifics - A Lifetime And A Half Karl McNeil feat. Veronica Menniweather - I Got Your Back Mike Avery - Miss Lady (Radio edit) Heavy - Wonderlove (Jazzanova mix) David Borsu - Syncopassion Neolectrique - This Time Ron Trent & Quentin Harris - Happiness Studio Apartment feat. Terrance Downs - We Are Lonely (Quentin Harris remix) Solo - Where Do You Want Me To Put It Tashan - Still In Love Ray Charles/John Legend - Touch Kindred - As Of Yet Prominent - Step Into My World Ian Martin - Knockdown Side Joe McBride - Giving It All To You C Chang - Get Up John Legend - Ordinary People (Johnny Douglas remix) Kirk Franklin/Stevie Wonder - Why? Ron Carroll & Mr A.L.I. - Dance All Night (Mr A.L.I. mix) Camiel - You're So Right Sterling Ensemble feat. Sarah Devine - Life Ain't What It Seems Having joined this list recently, and with a background originating in the NS scene starting around 25 years ago, I'm reluctant to come on a rare/60's soul forum preaching about the merits of contemporary soul, but when it gets discussed I feel my thoughts are justified..................so, while we're on the subject, for those that think there is no proper soul in new releases, take a listen to this baby: https://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/214183-01.htm Don't live the rest of your life in denial Cheers, Mark R

Plumbster, I was not having a dig at Sam, just the scenario. Sam was and still is a fantastic character who the scene in general would be much poorer for without. Hell, he was first name on the teamsheet for our first Soul Purpose gig, and we always have interesting but amicable exchanges of views on music!! Cheers, Mark R

Agreed.........totally, but you knew that!!! Cheers, Mark R

I always play it off CD Trev..........have the 12" but usually use CD.......can't recall them being that different......will have to compare again. Makes me chuckle this.......one thing I've noticed since joining this particular forum is that the truly modern soul records mentioned (i.e. less than 10 years old) are almost all qualified by the "Soul Sam's been playing it, so it's £50....." or the like. There are records (& CD's) coming through all the time that are more than worthy of attention, but they won't get that attention til Sam plays them...........and if he doesn't, well, goodbye.....it's off into obscurity for them...............for a few years anyway .........apart from for us who track these things down week in week out Cheers, Mark R
