Got a fair few on the Carnival label, took my time getting this beauty, George Smith in great form, as he always was, one of my favourite singers, great loss when he died in 1970 Manhattans-I'm the one love forgot-Carnival https://youtu.be/_zqgb7KsAhw

Going off the stuff you put on CD and your recent playlist Samantha, its definitely your kinda do. If you set off from Oz on the friday before the next one on Dec 15th gives you enough time to get over the jet lag to enjoy Oh, and bring John Phillips with you Kev

Some great stuff played there, however, thought Samantha would have played the incredible Bernard Drake "I've been untrue" Kev

Make that time Mike, you know its the right thing to do Best Kev

At last had a chance to listen and well worth the wait, loads new to me and loved the whole pod, one of the most anticipated experiences on here, the fresh trawl coming in, great stuff Steve Kev

Hi Pete Not to these ears, awesome Kev

Tough call, but if you had my balls in a vice, this is my favourite Originals record, from the pen of Marvin, this is the album version on the fantastic "Portrait" set Kev

Not bad, I wonder who they are trying to be ? Kev

Paul Williams "Once you had a heart" from Smudger's original post is so good, I can't find the words to describe it Kev

My great mate Gaz Simon has just brought me this back from Austen Record Show, Texas, brilliant. However, another great version Billy Jones, on Catfish must be checked out Kev

"Lets see what the Soul Train gang can do with this" great post Jordi, absolutely in a nutshell, have the 12 and on the album, regular in this house to Kev

Hi Peter I have an incredible version of Georgia on my mind by him on King, there is no Youtube clip, send me your email and I will send MP3, you have to hear it, its that good Best Kev

Stunning record Peter, I want one, now !! Kev

Roger that Ian, "Don,t let love get you down" "Everybody have a good time" to name another couple of very good soul records, "Dancin to your music" on Glades was another quality record aswell Best Kev

Flying High sounds like a million dollar record Kev

Mike and Bill, absolute give away, fantastic record Kev

Bang on the money Spice Girl double sider that has stood the test of time Kev

Must admit it was 1989 when we were there (Lou Silvani) and he came over quite paranoid about people messing with his filing system so its no suprise he only does mail order now Best Kev

Don,t know if he is still there, Lou Silvani, Riverdale, North Bronx, worth a punt if you can locate it Kev

To those people who say they don,t like albums but say they like soul just say "imagine if there were no albums, no Sam Dees Show must go on, no Marvin Gaye Whats going on" to me, someone saying they are in to soul, but don,t like albums is a total contradiction, if you don,t like albums, then you ain,t really into soul IMHO Kev

Sorry for sounding negative chaps but its something about the "scene" that has bugged me and influenced my whole thinking about it, as time went on I got to realise that it wasn,t what was playing but rather "who" was playing it. Sick of hearing about so called "Big" DJ playing cheap record then everyone saying he,s "innovative" or and "cutting edge" when the same record (and more alike) being played by someone else, reaction being a few admiring nods of the head by a few but mostly, total ignorance to the "insignificant small fry" in my book, the "small fry" is the innovative one, rather than the obvious playing of trophy records which isn,t really clever (to me that is) A lot of the threads on here now in my opinion lead to the same conclusion, most people are influenced by "who" and not "what", hence the ever more frequently used term "sheep" Kev

It was, for years

Great pick Len, there,s 1000,s of records of the like out there, unfortunately, not rare enough for the sheep or BIG DJ hangers-on, so like the Festivals, will be confined to the record room and the few innovative venues Kev

Bargain, great deep flip aswell Kev

Predominantly, the sheep shape the so called scene, a lot of folk pissed off with it all, with their own minds and good taste have naffed off to congregate at places frequented by like minded soul fans who don,t need telling what is and what isn,t a good soul record Kev (sorry if its a bit abrupt but I am on nights and pissed off)
