How goes it Graham, yeah remember when it was brand new, still holds up today as good as anything, are you there on Saturday night ? Kev

Silly me, honestly didn,t know, I have just been playing the one I have had for 30 years off the "Bustin out" album. Great chance of us going to the Orwell now Adam as Steve has pulled the Coachman. Speak soon Kev

Great pick Adam, love it aswell, heres a few that I like 9TH Creation-Bionic love affair-Prelude Notations-There I go-Gemigo Bill Brandon-Baby, love is a two way street-Prelude Greg Perry-Next time I see you-Casablanca Willie Hutch-Can,t get ready for losing you-Motown Freddie Hughes-We gotta keep on-Wand Millie Jackson-Something bout cha-Spring Bobby Womack-Come l amore-UA Leroy Hutson-Don,t let it get next to you-UA Rick James-Fool on the street-Gordy Bobby Womack-Give it up-Arista Kev

Love this theme Paul, its a huge part of the black experience, I think I heard or read it termed as PROTEST music somewhere, examples being in particular:- Norman Whitfields psychadelic era stuff "Ball of confusion" "Cloud nine" and "Message from a Black man" and "Smilin Faces" particularly brilliantly done by the Temps also "Ship ahoy" from the Ojays and as illustrated by Jock on here they don,t come any more politically motivated than Gil Scott Heron, one to add from him is the brilliant "B Movie" which tears to bits his favourite target Ronald Reagan. Also worthy of a mention is Johnny Little,s "Gonna get that boat" on Minit. Kev

Good point Kev, we should also take into consideration that at the time Black music in general wasn,t accepted by the large majority in the U.S.A so consequently most of the music we love was aimed at the black community with the artists aspiring hopefully for a local hit, hence giving it that honest, raw and recordrd in a tin can appeal which gives it that special ingredient that I asume we all love. Kev

Straight 10, in everyones top 10 Binsey Kev

There were some great writing teams out there at the time who consistently churned out the music we love, examples being :- Wylie/ Hester Gamble/Huff Mcfadden/Whitehead Holland/Dozier/Holland Hutson/Hawkins Whitfield/Strong Callier/Stepney Hayes/Porter all of the above wrote a number of gems, I am sure someone can compile another list of teams, then you have the likes of Leon Ware, Frankie Beverley, Marvin Gay, Smokey Robinson and the list goes on, but I am going to plump for the aforementioned SAM DEES as (twist my arm) my fave Kev

Hi Rob, remember the Sam Dees night well, a great "soul moment", someone else I would love to see in a more intimate environment would be Phil Perry, for those who were there at Prestatyn, who could ever forget his set on the Saturday afternoon in the Modern room, absolutely mind blowing uptempo numbers, mid-tempo through to gut wrenching ballads the man handled everything like the pro he is. Kev

Updated, Big D still a bargain though for someone Kev

Jim, would never argue anybodies preference on this one, it is a genuine close call, I love both of em, but aswell as the more uptempo tracks on "Born Free" the killer ballads "Love is everywhere", "I wish it could be me", "Don,t go" and especially "I believe in love" add the weight to sway it for me, but thats IMHO, Regards Kev

Looking for a copy of The Performers-Little Angel-Sir Graham Please PM me if anyone wants to part with one fair price paid Kev

Never gone out of my way to actually collect a certain label but I have about 25 records on the Carnival label, bought every one of them cos I thought they were good in their own right so it shows IMHO the depth in quality on the label, the Manhattans and Lee Williams and Cymbals stuff in particular are all absolute gems, Volt is another label where I find I have a lot of stuff on, Dramatics, Newcomers, Emotions and Mad Lads to name but a few to contribute great Soul music. Kev

While we are on the subject, what a fookin record, typical cheap record that should be played but suffers from the rarity syndrome, ideal mid-tempo shuffler. gonna get it on the deck now. Kev
