Thanks for the info regarding RJ´s Latest Arrival. The more recent output from that group is very easy to find and albeit quite nice not as exciting as those early 80´s recordings. Best, Mel

Hi Matt! The Genuine Crew aka Jens Chreisti & Mr Jay - cheers for the tip! It will be a very busy weekend for me, but if I´m at home I´ll definitely take a listen. Cheers, Melismo

Here´s a link to the brand new mix, podcast #10, will soon be published over at Podomatic and full playlist will be provided on the forum too, but until then here´s an Zhare link to listen/download: https://www.zshare.net/audio/19117423bf235968/ Lots of 60´s tunes this time (from the likes of Ben Aiken, Fantastic Four, Dave Howard etc.) and early 70´s (Jean Pace, Ronnie Williams, Billy Stewart etc.) and some new ones too (from Burhan G and Al Campos). Cheers, Melismo

Here´s a link to the record label: https://www.de-angelisrecords.com/ Glad to see that Anthony Wright gained some well-deserved recognition when he did that live session for BBC Radio2, "Reset To Zero" sounding very organic and kind of Northern Soul-ish actually.

Sorry Matt, don´t know what happened this morning, either there was a temporary glitch with the Podomatic page, or I´m a very confused man, I think the latter is more likely to be the case...LOL...Everything´s clear (visible) now, just downloaded and listened to the mix - great great stuff as always mein Freund!!! Cheers, Melismo

Hi Barry! Enjoyed the show - as always! Don´t know if you´ve spotted my posts in your previous threads during the last few weeks. Haven´t missed a single show yet...LOL...

Luckett - Who Made The Mountain Originals - Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me James Bradley - Let's Do It Together Bobby Hendricks - Go On Home Girl Crowns of Glory - Ain't No Sunshine Irene Scott - You're No Good Cheers, Melismo

Hi there! Checked out your podcast page, but couldn´t find that particular podcast, can you supply a direct link please?! Cheers, Mel

Hi Tolbert! I live in the southern part of Sweden. From my experience Copenhagen is a pretty hopeless city for finding soul vinyl, but hopefully someone can prove me wrong. Any recommendations from other forum members???? Malmoe and Gothenburg don´t have a lot to offer either, Stockholm though has a few specialist shops, but that´s far from Copenhagen of course, so of no help, I know... Have a nice trip Cheers, Melismo

Sebastian, always look forward to your mixes, and mix #6 doesn´t disappoint, another top-notch selection! Cheers, Melismo

Hi there! Thanks for posting playlist + soundlink. Some of my favorites this time were: Rhetta Hughes - You're Doing It With Her Gloria Williams - Sister Funk Bobby Byrd - If You Got A Love Willie Lee - Sweet Thing Freddie Scott - You Got What I Need Best, Melismo

Hi Bob! Thanks as always for posting soundfile + playlist. Stand-out tracks for me this time were: Brotherly Love - "I don't see me in your eyes anymore" and O'Jays - "Look over your shoulder". The O`Jays PIR output is amazing but also very much love those early pre-PIR recordings. Been listening to some of their best Minit and Bell stuff during the last few days. Best regards Melismo

For anyone who hasn´t heard this retro-sounding album, all tracks can be previewed here: https://www.myspace.com/raphaelsaadiq

Many Afro-Americans (including soul artists such as Jason Little) are sir-named Little, which is a typical slave name, given to certain slaves who were considered to be short/small/little

Yes, Des, that´s his name, now I remember! Couldn´t find his name anywhere on the DT Records webpage. Agree, he´s a top guy, but been a long time now since I was in contact with him. I wish we had a "black music record fair" in Sweden too. However, I recently went to a record fair over here and came home with 45 records, so maybe I shouldn´t complain...LOL... Cheers, Mel

Think Neo - Smile is a very limited item and for some time it was really a mystery track, some people assumed it to be Gil Scott Heron, which it isn´t of course.

Great, thanks for the info. That´s the one I frequented when I visited (the) London (area) several years ago, glad to learn that it´s still running. It´s the one organized by the guy who runs DT Records, what´s his name again?!?! Cheers, Mel
