The sound of Black America came from Scotland. Professor Willie Ruff insists that the performance style of psalms precented in Gaelic in Scotland's Protestant Hebrides is the root influence on African-American 'gospel' and by extension all other forms of African-American music. Unfortunately his research has been twisted arounfd by the National Socialist movements in the USA to remove any suggestion that black people ever invented anything. Gospel Truth Willie Ruff and composer Mitch Leigh

They used the Eddie Foster as a reference copy in an attempt to get the tape mixed as per the original Soul demo. Im sure this must be in the soul source archive. .

The Guardian always gets its pop history wrong. Then which paper doesn't get things wrong. Maybe we should complain to the PCC. The article appeared in the Guide magazine which is basically a TV guide with editorial copy supplementing the paid for adverts. The fim's plugged, the 60t's anniversary gets a mention and Russ Winstanley has another clipping demonstrating he's the Simon Scharma of the history of Northern Soul. And who doesn't smile to see someone in a semmit and a pair of Oxford bags.

Quadrophonic was an early effort at surround sound and required a special cartridge and pre amp and amp and four speakers. Audiophile recording can refer to half speed mastering or direct to disk recording but to note any difference you need a fairly expensive sound system.

PVA school or craft glue but not the wood glue. There's a whole thread dedicated to it here

A lot of the CDs have the tracks in stereo. If you want to hear the original mono sound you have to hear the vinyl.

Venues pay for a PRS license to play music. Promoters don't. If you DJ with vinyl or official CDs you don't need a license. BUt Answers for most other questions can be found here

Fraser Dunn presents two hours of Soulful Allsorts live every Saturday afternoon from 2:00 till 4:00 GMT on Subcity.org The music is played mostly from vinyl and all for original sources. If you tune in live you can join in the fun with e mails or following it on Essential Modern Soul. Soulful Allsorts has another advantage over most soul shows as it has an archive of shows dating back to 2008, all with playlists and guest appearances from Keith Money, Kenny Burrell and Dave Box. Soulful Allsorts

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I think when we have guests in the show moves to a higher plane. Fraser has a great ear for music and presents a great selection of music each week of 39 weeks in the year. When our guests come in they know the play list is all theirs, they're not confronting a dance floor, they're playing to an audience relaxed at home with full faculties (well most of them). You can check Keith's play list here and you can Listen Again or for the first time if you missed it. We go out live every Saturday afternoon at two and for 120 minutes we have great fun playing Fraser's and our our guest's records and having online chats with our listeners.

Tony I had no idea The Monkees tracks were recorded in New York. I had just assumed filmed in Los Angeles probably recorded there too. I'd forgotten that their music supervisor Don Kirshner was based in New York along with the people who wrote the songs for the Monkees. So thanks for putting me right. Frank

I saw the documentary on The Wrecking Crew last year and Mickey Dolenz appeared explaining their role. You can see him in the trailer here. The crew did play on a couple of Monkees tracks: Valleri has a few sessioneers backing the Monkees and Mary Mary has both James Burton and Glen Campbell on guitar. You can check the union contract here. I understand Frank Wilson used the wrecking crew on the Motown Los Angeles sessions including Do I Love you

Keith Money will be bringing in a selection of records to play and chat about on Soulful Allsorts on Saturday 30th January. The programme goes out live on subcity.org from 2 till 4pm and will be available later on Listen Again at the show's home page. The show will be introduced as usual by Fraser Dunn and we're looking forward to an afternoon of great music, good chat and our usual online conversations via e mail.

Any chance of a scan Geoff?

Don Covay's dead? Must have missed the soul source obituary. Anyway Don gave up hsi singing career to concentrate on the more lucrative career of songwriting. Chain of Fools must be a good pension for him. I thought he wasn't obscure enough to get plays on the northern soul scene.

It was a good interview. I came in the middle of it and it took me five minutes to work out it was Elton. He was comparing the relative wealth of Bluesology and The Ram Jam Band. Elton was in the back of a Commer Van whilst Geno's crew were in a much envied Transit. He said they were earning nothing (he'd a job on Denmark Street) and the Bluesology chucked it when Long John Baldry went cabaret.

I saw it at the cinema and it can recommend it. The film is dominated by the presence James Brown and Mohammed Ali. The local acts are ones obviously picked by the tourist board and are more french influenced than funk. The Latin acts are brilliant and one can't say you've lived till you've seen the Spinners in all their finery on a sixty foot screen.

kenny Burrell played an alternate take of Do I Love you on Soulful Allsorts on Saturday

Thanks for the mention guys. Kenny brought an alternate take of Do I Love you on an acetate. He also played a couple of tracks only available on a pair of studio acetates and are unavailable commercially despite beig extremely good recordings. Just check them on Listen Again. Anyone know who's singing. You'll find the playlist there as well. There are about 50 editions of Soulful Allsorts on Line which can be accessed above. All of the sounds come from original sources and over 90% from vinyl. There are other black music shows on Subcity presented by young students whom Fraser and I have DJ'd with at fund raisers for the station.

Some of the Funk Brothers played on that record but I do know what you mean. Maybe they wanted some Charlene.

Jody Klein has been running the ABCKO back catalogue for a few years and was responsible for the 4 CD box set and the individual CDs on Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, The Orlons etc but there's been nothing since then. I think he prefers the guaranteed dollars they get when he remasters the Rolling Stones Decca Catalogue and re issues them (We're on the third edition). Cameo Parkway

Now you've teased us give us some close ups please. The KDIA site has clips of radio shows and some R&B charts
