New - Lack Of Afro - Back To The Day (feat Elliott Cole) out now.

Lack Of Afro has a new single out, details and preview follow below, with news of a new album on its way as well
'I'm delighted to say that my brand new single 'Back To The Day' (featuring Elliott Cole) is out NOW! Available on all streaming services & also on beautiful picture sleeve 7" vinyl with 'Take It Up A Notch' (featuring Wax & Herbal T) on the flip (ships mid-May)'
 <a data-cke-saved-href="http://lackofafro.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-the-day" href="http://lackofafro.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-the-day">Back To The Day by Lack of Afro</a>
Multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Adam Gibbons (aka Lack of Afro) is back in some style with ‘Back To The Day’, a beautifully produced summer sizzler crammed full of infectious hooks, top musicianship and most importantly, vibe by the bucketload! Taking a nod from classic material by artists such as The Jackson 5, Earth Wind & Fire (and more recently Vulfpeck), ‘Back To The Day’ is Lack of Afro doing what he does best and then some – blending the old and new with big drums and heavy percussion to come up with a crossover classic that’s entirely his own, whilst all the while developing his abilities as a songwriter. 
Providing a dynamite vocal once again is regular collaborator Elliott Cole. Not just the voice of the track, he also plays guitars and bass, whilst ably backed up by some stellar musicians including George Cooper (Haggis Horns) on keys, Rory Simmons (Blur, Jamie Cullum) on trumpet, string and horn arrangements and Harry Harding (Yola Carter) holding down the backbeat on drums. 
Keeping the dancefloor packed and turning the party vibes right up to 11, ‘Take It Up A Notch’ (featuring the brilliant Wax & Herbal T and taken from the critically acclaimed ‘Back In Business EP’) completes what is arguably one of the strongest single packages of the year! 
Lack of Afro continues to go from strength to strength. 2016’s ‘Hello Baby’ (released on his own label LOA Records) picked up a BBC 6 Music ‘Album Of The Year’ nomination & appeared in the Top 10 of the iTunes R&B / Soul chart in 21 countries worldwide. More recently, Adam’s music continues to be used across all aspects of film & TV by networks such as ABC, Fox, NBC, Sony Pictures & the BBC whilst he also has released music on Universal & Warner Brothers Records. 
Both tracks are taken from the new album ‘Jack Of All Trades’, released on LOA Records in May 2018 and supported by a live band UK tour in May & throughout various festivals throughout the summer

Producer Martyn Ware Seeks Memories of Tony’s Ballroom

A request concerning a place that am sure many like myself have emjoyable memories of...
Producer Martyn Ware Seeks Memories of Tony’s Ballroom

Dancing the night away – Memories, mementoes and music from Tony’s Empress Ballroom, Blackburn sought by musician and producer Martyn Ware for Art in Manufacturing
Throughout the eighties and into the nineties Tony’s Empress Ballroom, Blackburn was a cornerstone of the Northern Soul scene. Artist, Martyn Ware, is calling out for memories, mementoes and music for a new art experience that leads right back to where it all began.
One of the artists working with Lancashire manufacturers as part of the Art In Manufacturing project, Ware is developing an immersive sound installation evoking Lancashire’s working and social heritage, to be unveiled in Blackburn town centre during The National Festival of Making, on Sat 12 – Sun 13 May 2018.
The search is on for details of the friendships, partners, unforgettable music, impressive new moves and, perhaps, artefacts that bring the era rushing back to life.
No contribution is too small as Ware seeks out details of the marriages that resulted from a meeting on Tony’s dancefloor, flyers stuffed into dusty shoe boxes and photos showing the fun that happened along the way.
Full information is here:
http://festivalofmaking.co.uk/news/legendary-producer-martyn-ware-seeks-memories-of-tonys-ballroom/
 
To be involved in the project, sending details of personal memories, artefacts, photographs, favourite records played or anything else related to Tony’s Empress Ballroom, people are asked to get in touch with

The Soulful Kinda Music Guide To New York Soul

New York, from the swooping sounds of Doo Wop, and the grittier sounds of R & B, the Big Apple had it all. And as the 1960's dawned a certain style was developing in New York. Some of the best songwriters and arrangers in the world lived and worked in the city. This coupled with some truly gifted singers created what has become known as the Big City Soul Sound. Suave, sophisticated and Soulful, it's a style that is still revered today by all aficionado’s of quality Soul music.
The big players in the city were the Atlantic / Atco group, closely followed by the Scepter / Wand group. There were also the smaller labels, and the artists that didn't make more than one record. The book pulls it all together in a feast of discographical information.
316 pages of detailed discographical information.
Orders taken now: £17.00 for each book, with free postage in the UK
PM me for payment details etc.
The book is also available on Amazon UK, Amazon US, and all the other European sites. It's still cheaper for UK buyers to buy from me because Amazon will charge you £2.99 postage, and I'm selling at a pound less than Amazon, but for my European, and American friends it will be cheaper to buy from Amazon.
And of course at Venues all over the UK.

Release notes by Keith Hughes & Mick Patrick  (preview)
More rare treats from Motown’s female roster, including 14 previously unissued 1960s gems.
Many moons have passed since our last “Motown Girls” project was released – but these things take time and a great deal of patience. We’re confident followers of the series will find this new volume very well worth the long wait.
The collection opens with ‘In My Heart I Know It’s Right’ by Gladys Knight & the Pips and closes with ‘So Long’ by the great Kim Weston in torch singer mode (a series tradition). ‘In My Heart I Know It’s Right’ was the first track Gladys and her guys recorded for Motown. The group had been introduced to the company by Larry Maxwell, who’d folded his Maxx label – where they had enjoyed modest chart success – in 1965 to join Motown. Gladys was opposed to the move, fearing they would just end up on the company’s assembly line, but she was outvoted by the Pips: “We decided we didn’t have that much to lose”, William Guest recalled. How right he was. ‘So Long’ was the closing theme of ...

X New 45 Releases from Kent Records

Those Kent people have been busy pushing out a shed full of nice 45s over the last couple of weeks.

Here's both a listing and audio preview of just some of these recent releases.
 
The PIED PIPER PLAYERS/THE CAVALIERS
The Bari Sax
Kent
Cat: PIPER 012 Rel: 29 Mar 18 
Pied Piper
The Bari Sax Aka This Heart Is Lonely / We Go Together (Rap Version)

Mixed from the original Rose Batiste tape of ‘This Heart Is Lonely’, the fore-runner to her ‘I Miss My Baby’ on Revilot, this instrumental stomper will be recognised as what was later pressed as ‘Bari Track’. That’s Mike Terry on his famous baritone saxophone, along with his fellow Funk Brothers who also became the Pied Piper production company band. Pied Piper co-owner Shelley Haims wrote ‘We Go Together’, first recorded by the Moonglows in 1956. The Cavaliers’ 1966 soul update was initially issued on our first Pied Piper CD and also on the 100 Club anniversary single of 2013. This, though, is an alternate take with an early rap intro, which adds more charm. First time out on a 45.
Chuck JACKSON
What's With This Loneliness (7")
Kent
Cat: CITY 050. Rel: 02 Apr 18

What's With This Loneliness (2:40)

Sundown (7")
Kent
Cat: CITY 051. Rel: 02 Apr 18
The Merced Blue Notes were hep Californians whose live shows were a major feature of teenage life in the early 60s San Joaquin Valley: “music with a beat that just won’t stop”. Top DJ Lee Miller picked up the previously unissued ‘Sundown’ track from their Ace CD and won over mod scene dancers with the infectious number. We have backed it with ‘Whole Lotta Something’ to introduce you to these hip music hounds personally.

Leon’s Creation - This Is The Beginning - Acid Jazz

News of an anticipated album release from Acid Jazz Records. Titled 'This Is The Begining' by 'Leans Creation' this fine album is now out and available via LP, Cd and download formats...
Listen Read Listen
 

Company Blurb
San Fransisco late 1960, two of the biggest groups to emerge from this scene were Santana and Sly and The Family Stone. For a while they were two of the biggest acts in the US and scores of local bands tried to follow in their footsteps. They were hard acts to follow and very few got to the stage of making a 45, never mind a whole LP.
One of the best to do just that were Leon’s Creation, whose debut LP “This Is The Beginning” Acid Jazz are reissuing here. A native of San Francisco Leon Patillo led the group, whose multi racial line-up echoed that of his heroes on the local scene. Self contained and gigging locally they made their debut album at the tiny Studio 10 who also custom pressed the album in extremely limited numbers

Released on Acid Jazz licensed directly from Leon Patillo, the package comes with in depth sleeve notes and is beautifully illustrated in both LP and CD formats.
Tracks
Side 1
1.    "This Is The Beginning" (5:02)
2.    "Until You Were Gone" (4:16)
3.    "Mirage" (6:42)
4.    "Back Roads" (4:29)

Soul Junction latest release Chuck Stephens Paying For Your Love

Press Release: Chuck Stephens   “Paying For Your Love/Let’s Get Nasty”   SJ1011
 Release Date: Monday 9th April 2018
Listen whilst reading:
 SJ1011 - Chuck Stephens Promo.mp3
 Chuck Stephens originally hailed from upstate New York reputedly Buffalo. He was during the mid 1970’s one of the leading disc jockey’s on the popular New York radio station WWRL AM. Chuck had always hankered with the aspiration of being a recording artist and in the pursuit of his dream approached the respected New York songwriting team of brothers Richard and Robert Poindexter.

Following an invitation from The Poindexter’s Chuck began to stage rehearsals at their home. Once the Poindexter’s felt Chuck was ready they took him into the studio to record one of their many compositions, “Let’s Get Nasty.
“Let’s Get Nasty” b/w “Girl I Want To Make Love To You” was to gain a release on The East Coast label during 1975.
The Poindexter’s then recorded a further two songs on Chuck both Richard and Robert compositions along with a third songwriter Jacqueline Members, who became the wife of Robert Poindexter. The songs in question were the excellent mid tempo outing “Coffee” backed with the sublime and currently  in demand modern soul dance track, “(I’m Still) Paying For Your Love” to use its original working title, although the “(I’m Still)” was later omitted from its released title. “Coffee/Paying For Your Love” although being released on the Leo Mini label (LS-110A) during1977 had in fact been recorded within a few months of Chucks “Let’s Get Nasty” release and had remained in the can until the Leo Mini release.
 
Chuck Stephens’s work came to the attention of the UK Rare/Northern Soul scene during 1975 as an import new release 45. When it was picked up and championed by legendary Blackpool Mecca Disc Jockey Colin Curtis firstly mixing it in with other new release and current spins of the day. At the time the Mecca Saturday night soul sessions always finished off with the last record of the night Young-Holt Unlimited’s Brunswick records outing “California Montage” a Dave Grusin penned song that featured as part of the soundtrack of 1969 Paul Newman film “The Winning”.
With the Mecca only running to a 2am finish a lot of  the audience would leave before 1am to go on to various all night venues. It was at this point that the aforementioned DJ Colin Curtis went on to create the term ‘The last Hour Mecca Sound”. In doing so Colin changed the dynamics of The Mecca from the more traditional northern soul sound and used the last hour to experiment with different styles, tempos, new releases and album tracks of which many became to be regarded as all time classic’s. One being Chuck Stephen’s “Let’s Get Nasty” which Colin promoted to the last record of the night in favour of Young-Holt’s “California Montage”
Soul Junction now presents to you, Chuck Stephens most popular two songs back to back.

Frank Wilson Test Press Stays in Detroit - Jack White & Record Store Day News

I can FINALLY announce where the record went and am very excited for it's release. Thanks to Jack White and Ben Blackwell for letting it stay in DETROIT!
We look forward to RSD 2018!  Pictures are on the Melodies & Memories facebook page.
FRANK WILSON'S "DO I LOVE YOU (INDEED I DO)" + CASS CORRIDOR RECORD STORE DAY FESTIVITIES
FRANK WILSON'S "DO I LOVE YOU (INDEED I DO)" + CASS CORRIDOR RECORD STORE DAY FESTIVITIES
Posted by on 29 March 2018
FRANK WILSON'S "DO I LOVE YOU (INDEED I DO)"
B/W "SWEETER AS THE DAYS GO BY" 7" SINGLE
ADDED TO RECORD STORE DAY RELEASES

In addition to our Record Store Exclusive releases previously announced, Third Man Records is proud to now include an additional title with an incredible story -- Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" b/w "Sweeter As The Days Go By" 7" single. Never officially released by Motown Records at the time it was recorded, this single has long been the holy grail for both Motown and Northern Soul collectors.
Third Man will be reissuing this rare find on purple vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day 2018 as part of their continuing partnership with Motown/Universal. Each Record Store Day exclusive copy is hand-stamped with the inimitable "quality control" rubber stamp used on Motown test pressings and facsimile labels believed to be penned by the hand of famous Motown producer Norman Whitfield. This single will be available at participating Record Store Day retailers as well as both Third Man Records storefronts (the original test pressing will be on display at Third Man's Cass Corridor location), with a black vinyl non-exclusive 7" planned for release in the future.
Frank Wilson is now ultimately best known as a producer at Motown, but he was once an aspiring artist himself. In the lead up to the intended release of "Do I Love You", Motown executive Berry Gordy asked Wilson if he wanted to follow the path of an artist or a writer/producer. Wilson chose producer, and this single was left for dead by the label. But good songs almost always find their way into the canon, and with bootleg copies credited to Eddie Foster in hopes of obfuscating the original artist and origin story, this song became a staple of the British Northern Soul scene after one of the two previously known copies of the record was stolen from Motown in the 1970's. A third pristine test pressing appeared in the recent past at Melodies & Memories in Eastpointe, Michigan, and was subsequently sold by record owners Denise and Dan Zieja to Jack White.

George Jackson - Leavin' Your Homework Undone - Kent Album

A recent release from Kent Records
Leavin Your Homework Undone - In The Studio With George Jackson 1968-71  CDKEND 477
This album features first time out tracks from the man George Jackson. There are 24 'work in progress' tracks,  all recorded at Fame during the late 1960s and the early 1970s via the Muscle Shoals and Memphis studios. A clip of the release notes written by Tony Rounce aka @TONY ROUNCE follows below...
Release Notes preview
...since Ace purchased Goldwax and established licensing deals with Fame and Sounds Of Memphis that the extent of his body of work has become apparent. A CD apiece of his Goldwax and Sounds Of Memphis recordings and no less than three of his Fame sides have been a revelation, in terms of both quality and quantity....
...Most of the tracks here were recorded not long after George joined the company and benefit from the consummate musicianship of the great Fame rhythm section the Swampers. One or two are basic demos, but the majority are of high enough quality to have been issued just as they are. Soul fans may recognise ‘A Man And A Half’, ‘Never In Public’ and ‘Your Love Made A U-Turn’ from the versions by Wilson Pickett, Candi Staton, James Carr and Jimmy Hughes, but George’s are the only known recordings of most of the songs. Although it’s certain there will be no fifth collection of George’s Fame recordings, the series definitely goes out on a soulful high with this one.

Mello Souls - Fisher Harmon R.I.P.

Mello Souls - Fisher Harmon R.I.P.
I'm sad to let you know that Fisher P. Harmon died, aged 70, last month
Fisher alongside Silas Phifer, Jim T & Randy provided us with one of the most loved and iconic 45s of all time.
He was a great guy and was both humbled, amazed and very happy to learn that 'We Can Make It' had finally hit home. This was the side that featured his lead vocal
When Rupert & I visited him, in September 2016, he was full of great stories about his life and times and the journey that the Mello Souls took that resulted in their one, and only, recording session on September 24th 1967
We were thrilled that we reunited him that week with the 'teenagers' who provided the music.
The pictures show Fisher, at home, with his 45 .... touching base with Larry, who was one of those 'teenagers, and meeting, for the first time in decades, the children of Mr Marshall, the group's manager
R.I.P. Fisher
Another job well done
Andy

ZZ Hill - That's It! The Complete Kent Recordings 1964-1968

Out now from Kent Records a new double album offering a complete package of all ZZ Hill's Kent recordings, together for the first time.
Z.Z. Hill - That's It! The Complete Kent Recordings 1964-1968 - CDTOP2 476
Release notes (summary)
His complete recordings for the Bihari brothers’ Kent label, together on one package for the first time, including many making their CD debut.
For two decades Z Z Hill was a go-to guy for anyone who needed a shot of blues-tinged soul music. His catalogue of recordings includes many masterpieces of southern soul, his Texas roots showing through wherever he recorded. 
CD1 features all the singles Z.Z released during his time as a Kent artist, 1964 to 1968, in mono and with each tape carefully matched against an original 45 to ensure they are heard just the way they were meant to be heard.
CD2 contains the first-ever CD release of his 1968 album “A Whole Lot Of Soul”, in stereo, plus originally unissued material and tracks onto which Kent-Modern’s Joe Bihari added strings after Z.Z. started to score hits for other labels in the early 70s.

Soul Source is Hiring... Job Opening

Soul Source is Hiring...
Well we are looking at a few changes this spring
Over time the way the site gets used changes and evolves and so there will always be a need to reflect these changes in how the site works/delivers/operates.
One aspect that we are looking at improving is how the various main sections of the site (the news feature, the forums, the sales features and the event guide) are run. 
The thinking is to bring in a new way of looking after each of these main Soul Source features by 'hiring'  people who can look after and manage each feature on a regular basis, and also play a main part in taking these features further upwards and onwards  in the future

Are After
At first we are looking for 2 people,  who be up for looking after and managing one of the two main features below...
1. 'Forums' - One person to look after, promote and encourage/moderate the main Soul Source Forums, basically all the forums apart from the sales related ones
2 'Sales Feature' -  One person to look after, promote and manage/moderate  the Soul Source Sales features which include the sales forums, classifieds, feedback feature etc
Requirements...
1. Passionate about soul music - has to be a given 
2.  A way with the words and the tech - eg good communication and decent IT skills
3. Spare Time/Active - be ready willing and available 
4. Interested and enthusiastic about the relevant section/feature - eg Interested in soul trading if sales or if forums enjoy talking about soul etc etc
It will be a semi-pro set up which at first which will mean extremely part time. Hours paid will be limited at first, and will be more spare cash than a salary. However as things move on over time, hours available should improve all things going well.
Drop us a pm @mike @mike for further info/details/talk via or via the contact link at the bottom of the page  - just let us know which of the two position you are interested in and we can then both take things from there
cheers
mike
owner - Soul Source

Lamont Dozier UK Tour Details and Video

More formal news announcement along with a video regarding the upcoming UK tour by Lamont Dozier

MOTOWN LEGEND LAMONT DOZIER ANNOUNCES DEBUT UK TOUR FEATURING HIS CLASSIC SONGS 'RE-IMAGINED'
Legendary Songwriter-Producer-Artist and one third of Holland/Dozier/Holland announces his debut UK tour.
Lamont Dozier has written over fifty #1 hits for artists such as Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & the Supremes, The Four Tops and more as part of the songwriting team Holland/Dozier/Holland.
On this tour Lamont and his band, featuring acclaimed musician/producer/arranger Fred Mollin, will be performing his classic hits in support of a new album, scheduled for 2018 release, which 're-imagines' these iconic songs in a more intimate, 'unplugged' format. Lamont will also, no doubt, share many of the stories behind the songs.
Detroit-born Lamont Dozier was signed to Berry Gordy's Motown Records in 1962. After hooking up with Eddie & Brian Holland, the trio wrote a breath-taking number of hits such as 'Baby Love', 'It's the Same Old Song', 'This Old Heart of Mine', 'Where Did Our Love Go', 'You Can't Hurry Love', 'Reach Out I'll be There', 'Jimmy Mack', 'Stop! In the Name of Love', 'Bernadette', '(Love is Like a) Heatwave', 'Baby I Need Your Loving' and many, many more.
The Invictus & Hot Wax record labels were set up in 1968 by Holland/Dozier/Holland and more hits followed such as 'Band of Gold' by Freda Payne, 'Give Me Just a Little More Time' by Chairmen of the Board and more. In 1972 the Lamont Dozier solo career commenced with 'Why Can't We Be Lovers' followed by more success with 'Fish Ain't Bitin' and 'Going Back To My Roots'. Lamont Dozier has also collaborated with Simply Red, Kanye West, Alison Moyet, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Mark Ronson, Solange Knowles, Joss Stone amongst many others, during his long and illustrious career.
Special guest support comes from award-winning singer/songstress Jo Harman, herself a BBC Radio 2 play-listed artist, whose critically acclaimed and commercially successful recent album, 'People We Become', recorded in Nashville, includes a cameo from soul superstar Michael McDonald.

Promotional video - Wigan Casino 45th Anniversary Celebration

Hi everybody, 
 We have just released the promotional video for this years Empire Soul All-Nighter. If you don't already know about this all-nighter, the previous two events have been near sell-outs with near 800 people in attendance at both. This year is looking to be a sell out at the 1000 capacity! 
We will be celebrating Wigan Casino's 45th anniversary with original Casino DJs : John Vincent, Pep & Ian Wills plus some of the UKs and Europes most in-demand current all-nighter DJs (Not including myself ) : Mick H, Barry Maleedy, Tony Clarke, Daz Dakin and yours truly. 
Our vision with this event is to celebrate the Casino's legacy the right way with traditional all-nighter values and not only playing the popular Casino classics, but to also play some great forgotten Casino spins. We have asked each DJ will play at least three records that they believe are totally forgotten. 
Hope you can all join us on Saturday 15th September. 

Tickets can be purchased here at a reduced rate - https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/gdp-nw-ltd
