    You took the words out of my mouth. Two extremes in terms of the quality of planning and selection of material to present a story.

    Just noticed that along with the "When Motown came to Britain" documentary on New Year's Day at 10pm on BBC2, running just before it at 9pm same side is a documentary on Lamont Dozier "Motown Master: Lamont Dozier at the BBC". Definitely recording both of these.

    No, not yet. As you say, post will be disrupted at the moment. It looks like they are due for release on 9th December, so with the next strikes due on 23rd & 24th, the window for arriving before Christmas is closing! Mind you, I fully support the posties

    Arrived today, along with a copy of Mary Wells 'Love letters' and the equally good 'Hands off my baby' that I'd ordered at the same time but had to wait for Cole Williams to come in. 2 great records, and as this thread is showing - plenty more out there!

    Finally had notification that it's been sent out. Simply Soul have announced that it's now in stock. https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product/cole-williams-with-soul-tune-allstars-a-better-woman-organized-7-vinyl-pre-order-in-stock-early-november-2022/

    Interesting - need a bit more info please....

    Hi Graham, and welcome to Soul Source. The only book I've got that seems roughly appropriate is 'Temples of Sound' by Jim Coogan and William Clark, published by Chronicle Books in 2003.

    https://acerecords.co.uk/loma-northern-soul-classic-revelations-1964-1968 This looks interesting, both the CD and this set of 7 45s. Due to be released late January in the new year. Came across it via the Ace email newsletter today.

    Covered in today's Guardian, at least the online version of it. Mainly stoking up differing stories of the discovery of the record between Russ Winstanley and Richard Searling: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/nov/19/bruce-springsteen-cover-reignites-row-over-lost-northern-soul-classic

    Interesting range; I went for the 94 East in the end.

    Looking forward to this arriving sometime soon, I believe it gets released this month:

    It'll have to be catch up if it's available for me - I've been reading it was really good.

    Just spotted this on today's Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/oct/12/soul-survivor-gloria-scott-tina-would-say-why-does-gloria-always-talk-back-to-ike

    A quick search didn't turn this up so hopefully I'm not doubling up on a posting I couldn't find here. This arrived in yesterday's post, via a message I saw on Facebook. On Creative Soul, Don Bryant 2 excellent sides, with 'A world like that' the A side but an equally great B side of his self-penned 'It was jealousy', the same song that was recorded by Otis Clay: https://creativesoulcouk.bigcartel.com/product/don-bryant-a-world-like-that-it-was-jealousy

    Thought people might find these photos from the 1980's in today's Guardian of interest. In particular there are two of Mod revivalists at one of the regular Friday Northern nights at Notre Dame Hall just off Leicester square in central London in 1983. I used to go to these and play some of my records in the opening hour; it was a good sized venue and you used to get a good mix of people attending, not just the Mods. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2022/oct/07/looking-for-trouble-1980s-youth-culture-in-pictures

    Just listening to their 2018 CD 'Half Mile Harvest'. My wife got it for her birthday, she's not sure where she'd heard of them put popped it on her Amazon list. It's a very good listen, various tracks definitely put you in mind of Southern Soul, including as you say, the lead singer sounding a lot like Otis Redding. Other tracks a bit more country, but all really well put together.

    Mine arrived yesterday too - didn't have time to open it so looking forward to that later!

    After seeing the article about Ikea and vinyl storage and a turntable, I thought people might be interested in this offer from Richer Sounds. If you are a 'VIP' member (free and easy to join) you can get one of these for £99 instead of £199. Just while stocks last. https://www.richersounds.com/project-primary-e-black.html

    Better late than never I guess! Looks interesting, but sad to see that 45s are seemingly an afterthought, as always in terms of mainstream views on vinyl. Admittedly this shot in the article is from the existing Kallax range, but I didn't spot anything in the graphics of the forthcoming OBEGRÄNSAD designs that caters for them:

    My Tomangoes arrived today - great sound, and an informative flyer insert too. Thanks guys.
  21. Seano
    My wife saw them too, at the Orchid Ballroom in Purley - long before I met her! Sad to hear this news, some great music.
  22. Seano
    I've always rated this one, though don't know that it ever got played out:
  23. Seano
    They finally went on sale late last night. Looking forward to my Tomangoes.
  24. Seano
    Both records sound really good, but as with other comments, the Tomangoes really does do it. The flip sounds great; I always thought the version on my Grapevine copy was superb, and this is not just a tweak away, but a whole new take on the track.

    A great listen - thanks for posting this. As an aside, I've come across the line "You got my nose wide open" in several other songs too (I can't even recall in the listing above - was it in "What am I gonna do about you girl"?). What is it taken to mean? Is it just along the lines of "I'm hyper alert, interested in you"? Any ideas where it came from originally? Was it fairly current street talk or an old saying?
