Top Tips For 2010

Posted

Hi all,

Exactly 12 months since we did the last 'Top Tips' thread... and therefore 24 months since the previous - and 36 months since the first :yes: - so, as it's now become a Soul Source tradition, here we go again!

Here's your opportunity to tip the tunes in your box for future greatness during the coming year... or simply list any number that you'd like to recommend to other Soul Sourcers.

You might be a DJ with that tasty unplayed, unknown, hardly played or semi-known 45 stuck in the back of your box that you'd love to play... but haven't quite got around to it... yet!

You might be a collector, sitting on a tune that you know, if it got into the right hands, could become massive in the next 12 months.

It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves.

It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just have what it takes to become a monster!

No need to post sound clips. Just let us know what you've got that you think deserves a plug in the coming year!

So come on. Look at your box and let's have your top tip (or tips) for 2010.

Oh... and a Happy (and Soulful) New Year to all.

The best is yet to come!

Last Orders... :wicked: Maybe this one?????.....Gaylen Adams-Time Is Slipping Away

Once again I prefer the flipside... :lol: "Love Meets No Stranger" sounds much better to my ears as far as northern plays goes. :lol: Great double-sider in any case and very rare/obscure as well.

I think that Colette Kelly "City of fool" on Volt is long overdue to become a wider known dancefloor favourite. It really has a lot going: great vocals, great lyrics, dance beat, good production, unique appeal overall...etc.

it's in refosoul, don't know how to insert the link

Cheers

Stefan

Nice tune but about 2 minutes toooo long :yes:

Sorry bit late posting on here

Not sure if this would ever take off but it's an interesting one - a Gospel, Soul,Northen, Funk R and B tune.

Cheers

Oh, good call! Only ever heard it once, back in 2008 when you played it me in the kitchen in Bamberg, what a tune! Shame only you say "rarest" as I still need a copy LOL! Great story as well indeed.
