I remember a time when it was not interesting to buy rare 45s or lps ... it was a magic moment when I used to walk to my record dealer downtown with a smile in my face cause I was excited to spend all my hard earned money on vinyls (nobody could understand this way of living)! we used to talk about records while chilling & drinking a cup of coffee in his shop. I digged & I bought some of these black gold nuggets (most of them were expensive - meanwhile they are cheapies), I went home & and started listening to my brand new records. I used to dance in my flat to johnnie taylor, curtis mayfield & loads more - and when some friends used to came over to visit me, I played my latest choons that I discovered...it was like a flu - my friends felt the same way after contaminating them with the love of music...and noone was interested in the price and rarity!!! we had a good time...still we have a good time one of the most important choons of this time: David Ruffin - Walk Away From Love !!! cheers, Matt btw. I also remember that I told my girlfriend (meanwhile nearly ex-wife ) you can do everything to me: hit me, bite me, blame me - but after all you have to buy me a record and I won't talk about our fights anymore and I will forgive you all your sins - and she did! twice...then it was too expensive to fight each other these days when I listen to these kinda records my memories start livin' ... what a great side effect!!!

fantastic choons, mate!!! loads of underrated stuff that need a spin (again)! I record once a month a mix (and this one will be published as a podcast for download every fokkin' month - just check my website!) these mixes include some of my faves, underrated 45s, my latest shots & and forgotten choons I used to love (and still do - for sure!!!) - cause it's not about the rarity, it's about the groove! when was the last time you listened to the following cheapies??? THE ARTISTICS - ONE LAST CHANCE - luv this one to death!!!!!!!!! LOU JOHNSON - UNSATISFIED THE FIVE WAGERS - UNTIL I FOUND YOU BEN E. KING - I CAN'T TAKE IT LIKE A MAN - monster choon!!! THE T.S.U. TORONADOES - NOTHING CAN STOP ME a.s.o. cheers, Matt

...and many thanks to Paul Collins who plays every week loads of classic soul choons in his show that I rediscover again in my collection!!! it's crazy how many choons I've forgotten... ...choons like: The Continental IV - I Don't Have You Bill Brandon - Baby, Love Is A Two Way Street Latimore - Somethin' Bout 'Cha Michael Henderson - Never Gonna Give You Up Lonette Mc Kee - Do To Me The Presidents - It's All Over Al Green - Loving You Eleanore Mills - I'm Gonna Get You The Artistics - Girl I Need You Impressions - How High Is High and many many more!!! cheers, Matt

hi, every collector has got records in his collection that he used to listen to every fokkin' minute and suddenly, one day you forget this choon you used to love to death...a couple of years later you will remember this one and give it a listen again...and then it happens: you start smiling and remember the good ol' days...what an amazing moment!!! what are your choons that you've forgotten? but still luv??? while I am writing these lines - I am listening to the great "Forever And A Day" by Mel & Tim! what a fokkin' lovely dancer that I've totally forgotten, isn't it? another one is: Dynamic Superiors - Don't Give Up On Me Baby - Motown and so on...now it's your turn!!! cheers, Matt
