  1. You make a good point.
  2. Both sides sound great Alex!
  3. Blimey - mine arrived this morning; I only ordered it yesterday! Great work Mark, much appreciated.
  4. Thanks Mark - duly ordered!
  5. Just seen this via Twitter: https://www.waterstones.com/book/cassius-x/stuart-cosgrove//9781846974762
  6. Here too, another great release.
  7. Just watched it. The opening programme seemed pretty good. Some previously seen footage, but well packaged and interesting commentaries from people of the day and more current observers. I liked Duke Fakir’s record centre lapel badge too!
  8. Less obviously political but still making a point that aligns with MLK's march for equal rights. One of those examples where a cover can come through stronger:
  9. I wonder if they'd give a thought to playing this during the 24 hours:
  10. An essential purchase. It may have been obvious to everyone else, but I'd never even questioned why there wasn't a book about Dave Godin. I've not even read the full article, just skimmed through - it looks like a great read in itself!
  11. Interesting stuff, looking forward to seeing / hearing the site develop.
  12. Just spotted that there's a one hour documentary about the story of The Real Thing tonight at 9pm on BBC4. Presumably there will be mention of Chris & Eddie Amoo's work in The Chants....
  13. Good to see another competition. I've not clicked 'like' as I've already got the CD. Terrific compilation, highly recommend it. As always, excellent booklet of information about the tracks and artists too.
  14. This hit YouTube 2 days ago; just come across it. Very nice:
  15. Moses Patrou - Standby Lover on Soul Tune released just this week. I got this lovely double -header (backed with 'Good Enough') in the post yesterday. I can't find a clip on YouTube but this is a link where you can get it directly from Simply Soul and can listen to the samples: https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product/moses-patrou-standby-lover-good-enough-7-vinyl-pre-order-in-stock-6-20/
  16. I'm in. This will make a great Christmas!
  17. Wasn't a guy, maybe the son of the label owner, talking about releasing a CD of unissued Cameo-Parkway tracks when the film Green Book was coming out? I seem to remember reading about it as the film team were looking for music that would sound authentic for the era but didn't have the budget to pay big licence fees.
  18. Sad news for sure.
  19. I don't know for sure, but was convinced when seeing the film that it was filmed in St Ives, or at least bits of it. Had no idea 'The Price of Pain' was a new track for the film. Nice little moments of Keb in there too.
  20. Sad news. Listening back to this album earlier tonight, I can't believe how jazzy it was, and how discordant the piano was on so many tracks. And, having said that, how influential it was on my enjoyment of music, as I loved the whole album, especially side 2! I especially liked 'Happy Feeling' after picking up a demo.
  21. Mine today - lifts the spirits!
  22. Great article thanks. I learnt a lot (that many others probably knew already). Black Grape for one - I got a very good soul pack from them, probably when Garry was looking at winding it down in the early 80's. I never kept lists of what was in the packs, but I did do a tape or two for convenience and swapping, so will have to see if I can find one to recall a few of the records.
  23. Nice one - I got a copy of this in a soul pack years ago and you could just hear the soulful quality from the outset. Soul packs certainly helped to broaden my tastes, as while I was after Northern, the more interesting range you'd get if choosing a soul pack has given me much more enjoyment down the years I think. Plus of course, back then, the perception of Northern still had a lot of room to grow, and some stuff that I liked came into the mainstream in due course.
  24. I got quite a nice (and prompt) email back from David Clements, who posted the article on his website. I'd just asked out of interest if he'd covered record shops around Detroit, but he hasn't. "Thanks for the note on my recent Blog story. I have documented and posted Blogs on three years of Detroit A Go Go documentation. These and other Detroit Blogs can be found at www.davidclementsproductions.com "
