  1. Thanks for posting Steve. I take John's point but happy enough with this and I've placed an order.
  2. I only caught the last part of this first episode but it looks great. I'm looking forward to the next ones and hope to record the series when it comes by again.

    Ease Your Mind, V Lounge, Banbury May 2017

    New Sunday Soul afternoon event playing modern soul, jazz and generally aiming for a laid back session of great music in Banbury at the V Lounge.
  4. From the album: Ease Your Mind, V Lounge, Banbury May 2017

    DJ area set up at top end of the main dining room on the higher level, but with a large courtyard with lots of seating and good weather the crowd were all outside.

    The old days of chin-stroking have given way to apps like Sound Hound and Shazam.

    Get the dates in your diary and make sure to arrive for the start, good variety of music and all quite different between the DJs.

    They picked a great sunny day for the first of the new monthly events.
  8. Totally agree, 'There You Are' is a great track. Not sure if things changed on release for the issue in the States, but on the demo I have it's the flip (again) to 'Bad Risk'. UK and USA both from 1976. 'House for Sale' has always had a place in my heart from when I lived in Deptford in the early '80s and got burgled. Sods took my music centre (remember those?) and stupidly I'd left my UK copy of 'House for Sale' on the deck, but even worse, a tape from Wigan. The insurance people were remarkably generous on the record but felt that the tape had no value whatsoever.
  9. Interesting thread, sorry to head off the main point of the single, just thought some people might like to see the video with Keb, and I presume Sue, in short clips within the overall video:
  10. Very late reply - sorry, I didn't realise there'd been any comments on the photos! I was living in Woolwich and Deptford between 1981 and 1984, and I think this would have been around '83 but I'm not certain. I used to really like the venue at Notre Dame and helped out with playing some records at the very start before most people arrived. I didn't get to La Beat Route more than once or twice though I think.
  11. Oops- many thanks for the correction!
  12. You need to subscribe to this guy's YouTube channel. Ian Whittington. All very cool videos with sublime crossover tracks (probably wrong description, but that's more or less where I'd reference it talking to people) . Really worth a delve into his archive if you've not seen his other uploads; various socially conscious style retro footage, plenty of West coast low rider scene stuff including lots of tattooed and face-painted 'Day of The Dead' style female studies. Although I hesitate to say, it (as the visuals are fairly in-your-face and it's not even OVO) I just love the verve displayed in his video for Joe 'Jama' Perales "My Life" 2001 version:
  13. A proud musical and cultural legacy, and it sounds as though her wider impact on disadvantaged children was probably just as important. Despite having heard Bill Cosby's 'Little Old Man' I'd never realised he co-wrote the earlier Stevie Wonder track, 'Uptight' (that has the same backing track) with Sylvia Moy.
  14. Always loved the atmosphere the clapping created, totally recognise the tailing off of its popularity, but it does still hang on, and for me is one of the things I can still contribute to, never having been much good at spins, and with stamina and knees not what they once were! I take the point made earlier in the thread about claps that might come out of the blue from someone dancing near you, but maybe that's a personal response to how the record takes you, can't say it's ever spoiled things for me (but maybe it was me doing it!).
  15. Friend of mine has just sent me this link to a website who will make a bespoke piece of art for your wall: https://www.snapgalleries.com/portfolio-items/welcome-to-the-temple-of-wax/ Personally I like the unframed option, but they all look pretty good. Back in mid-february I also saw this in Sister Ray in Berwick st in London, another approach to enlarged art for the wall:
  16. Nice one Mike, thanks for posting this. Love the track, I bought a demo of it when visiting my cousin while she lived in New York, over in Academy Records in Brooklyn.
  17. How strange - only this weekend I've been listening through to 3 CDs I bought at Glasgow airport years back issued by Charly: Chicago Twine Time (Mar-V-Lus), Chicago Soul Cellar (m-pac!) and Windy City Soul (One-derful!). All terrific compilations from 1998 with great booklets.
  18. Clip about halfway into the programme, but thankfully not chopped in and out of the rest of the programme. Thanks for posting this, great that they got Ivor Abadi talking on film about it too. Did they feature any vinyl in the rest of the programme?
  19. Hi Mike, like the idea of this thread. I've posted 2 new albums in the photos section related to this: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/gallery/category/42-scans-single/ And here's a painting by a guy called Martin Grover who exhibited in Oxford a few years ago, along with the text from the flyer:

    Fake record for 50th birthday 'The Poubelles'

    My cousin's son and his girlfriend made this mocked up record for my 50th birthday some years ago - love it!

    'Centrefold' of the record sleeve. Photos showing various record shops I'd gone to over various years visiting New York while my cousin lived there. She went round them all and got staff to sign a record bag for me at each one!

    Back of the gatefold 45 sleeve - the Stax water bottle was a gift from Ben and his mum when they visited the museum in Memphis. I took it with me to Florence as it seemed too special to just drink at home!
