A Sunday Afternoon ear treat
Thanks are earned by Kieran Lockyear for putting this all together
Here's the words from the Mixcloud post...
Big thanks to Ady Croasdell for the 66th "Straight From The Play Box" mix.
Ady Croasdell aka Harboro Horace was an aspiring mod in 1966 when he fell in love with music of all kinds. Though mainly going to underground and psychedelic gigs, he loved black music (initially country blues) and heard classic Stax, Atlantic and Motown singles played at the local dances where his Market Harborough mod/skinhead gang went.
An “Old Soul” all nighter in a disused railway station in the middle of the countryside (not even near the village), which he happened on by chance in 1969, lead to a love and interest in Mid-60s soul sides. He started collecting, then dealing (records not pills), then promoting then DJing, then record compiling for Kent in 1982. Kent Records has been running for 30 years now.
He has run the 6TS at the 100 Club soul all nighters for over 30 years and the 6TS Northern Soul Weekender in Cleethorpes for over 20. See Website for more details: http://www.6ts.info/

didn't have much idea of what a mixcloud was and am still reasonably ignorant. I thought it was just for people with 28" waistlines.

September Jones in a couple of weeks, toussaint McCall in a few months and I'm still finalising plans on some of the others. I didn't do this as a Northern mix, there's more R and B and Popcorn than I'd normally play at the 100 Club
