Soul Records You Just Don't 'get'
Not one of my fav's by a long way, but in the summer of 74 it sounded so good when we were out of our trees.

Top 3 Modern Soul Tunes
Top 3s, Top 10s etc, it is only having a bit of fun at the end of the day. It is also good to see what other people come up with. What a strange time to state every 14 mins yes it is impossible to name but it what takes your fancy at any given time.

Soul Records You Just Don't 'get'
Sorry Dave, The Velvets f++kin love it. I have never seen the dance floor reaction from any other record in 38 years, when it was first played in 73. It was magic to watch, you just had to be there. I like Andy Fisher as well, just the right speed to dance to for a old c*** like me. Not sure what Ed Bruce is? It would be f++kin boring if we all liked the same. Dave.

Is "the Bottle" Northern Or Jazz Funk
The South doesn't count does it? In the North it wasn't played in the normal clubs till the late 70s. It was played on the Northern scence in 74 from the LP. Not the single or the 12.

Quadrophonics
Contempo is the UK release. W.B. is the rarer and nicer looking, but it is a 2nd US release and Innovation is the 1st.

Dean Barlow is just plain crap. The classic that never did it for me is Moses Smith "The Girl Across The Street"

Is "the Bottle" Northern Or Jazz Funk
No it was played on the Northern circuit a few years before it got played in Mainstream clubs. Neil Rushton put in out on his Inferno label due to demand.

Nosmo King - what's the story?
It was a big big full fuller at Wigan in the summer of 74. On one of my live tapes (1st Ann) Russ plays it 3 times in one hour. It was covered up as The Javells at 1st, than reissued on Disco Demand as The Javells.

Wigan Casino Saturday Nights 1979-1981
Yea, Big Dave and Pete were there, I had no idea who Pete was when he came over for a chat. Not seen him since 1978. I joined EMS in Jan or Feb this year. The last time I saw Pat he was on about a reunion, but that was last summer! Hope to see you out and about soon.

What's The Best Soul Tape You've Ever Been Given?
I used to swap tapes with Guy in the 70s. One of the best I got givin was off Soul Sam 1980, 60s on one side 70s on the other. I got a few of Martin Koppel in the 80s. In the early 90s Tim Brown used to tape his sets to play in his car, and when he had finished with them he give them to me.

Your Favourite Compilation Lp
No S.S.S. is still one of the best. S.O.S. is ok too, apart from "Walk With A Winner" always hated that record. I can't remember what was on the Stax one? Worst Casino Classics or Black Magic Treats!
