Talking to a friend recently about soul music and the topic of ‘upfront nights’ came into play. After a few moments it occurred to me that we were talking about two different things, though seemingly unbeknown to each other the trajectory of our conversation carried on unaffected by our differing views. The disconnect came, when the notion of price and genre came into it; perhaps I’m in the minority, maybe even isolated when I suggest that to assume an upfront night must firstly be about expensi

Delighted to announce two new Jai Alai references, this time consisting in four favourite tracks never released on 7" before. Both Maze songs are simply outstanding so it´s certainly surprising Warner Bros didn´t pick up any of them for single releases ("Love Is" was quite hard to get on vinyl too, as the album only came out as promo). Same could be said about the dancefloor delight (an Isaac Hayes production, no less) "Everyday" and the CD only album track by Gerald Levert, obviously influenced

"Sorry" b/w "Prettiest Girl"
Johnny Ruiz and the Escapers offer up two sides of haunting group sounds sure the scratch the itch of doo-wop and soul enthusiasts alike. Adorning the a-side is "Sorry", a stark, creeping, dirge-like ballad with a sparse rhythm track that swings eerily underneath Johnny's sublime lead and the Escapers plaintive harmonies,

For those growing up in the early to mid 80's, with little knowledge of "Northern Soul" Kent Records introduced many great sounds to young eager lads and lasses eager to hear more of the music. Who would have thought Kent Records would still be here today and still introducing many great previously unheard records to not so young lads and lasses and to the next generation of "soulies" eager to see and hear what the fuss is all about.

Over the last few years this weekly series of shows via a US TV website TV One has been mentioned a fair few times on the forums. With episodes such as the O'jays and Tammi Terrell drawing a very favourable reaction.
The channel Tv One website http://www.tvoneonline.com/ does offer some of them.
However as have just stumbled across a page on youtube offering 36 of the episodes from the 3 season show, thought may be worth a pass on for those who have missed some of these shows in the past.
