I'm in the process of putting together a nice collection of rare boogie and modern soul tracks for a personal CD. So far, I've got things like:

Aaron Broomfield on Mountain (both)

Frank Washingtn on Studio II Revue

Jaymz Bedford on Gold Mink

Clausel on Upright

First Class on Park-Way

Pretty much everything that I've been putting on so far has been from the early 80s. I'm doing my best to stick to rare stuff and independent labels, but we'll see how it progresses. I'm also open to music that uses drum machines, so bring it on. If you have stuff like that and would like to do a swap, speak up and let's get it going. The stuff you put on doesn't have to be dog rare either, let's just have some fun with it.

I love bona fide 60s northern soul just as much as the next guy and gal, but I also enjoy the boogie sounds. I noticed a small handfull of others on here like it too. Would like to hear from those folks. I'm sure Awake and Johnny N. & Ali might have a few nice 80s sounds to scrounge together. How about Jocko? Anyone?

Would love to hear from some other members.

PS. Does anyone have "Sunlight" by Krisp on Indigo? How about Tolbert?

I'd be up for that.

TT

I'm up for it.

That Krisp tune on Indigo is very nice. Don't have it myself though. Anyone have a copy for sale?

Count me in

Count me in, got loads from that era, and yes will put you Tolbert on cd...

How about Steve M, got a cd writer ??

I'm up for that too

I'm up for that, does it all have to be 80's onwards or can we go back a bit too?

Wow! Got people coming out of the woodwork for this swap. Glad to see people showing up.

To answer the question about styles and what acceptable, I would say that going back before the 80s is definitely ok. I guess you would be looking for music that might have sounded too contemporary for its time to be like older 70s crossover, even if was made in the 70s. If your selections have a few included that are tinged with funk, that's also ok. Drum machines are also definitely permitted.

I've got some sounds I'm looking for, too.

-Krisp "Sunlight" on Indigo

-Vance & Suzanne on Vanton

-Panache

-Moses-Live to Love (or is it Love to Live?) comes on a Silver label

-Master Force on Rain Forest

AND A FEW THAT ARE MORE NORTHERN that may or may not fit the format:

-Treasure Mind

-Big Mouth Woman

-King Moses-I Got the Feeling

-Beverly & Duane

-Natural Impulse-She Went Away (Ali's dream record)

On to the next issue...how to deal with the swap. It occurred to me that I've asked people to swap with me personally, which is one thing, but I didn't stop to think that others might have thought that everyone involved was going to swap. I'll send CDs to anyone, but the question is-do you want to all swap with each other too? I could go either way with how we're doing it.

Let me know how you all would like to do this so that we're on the same page. I'll start getting a list of addresses together. If everyone involved is swapping, I'll also try to be relaxed on the deadline to join in.

Oh go on, count us in Jas

-Natural Impulse-She Went Away (Ali's dream record)

It's not a dream, one day it will be mine Mwah haha haha haha (evil world dominating cackle)

The usual way is that say 10 people create 10 copies of their CD and then send one each to the others.

On the content front i have been collecting for 20 years (not bought much in the last 10) and as it turned out my modern xover taste seemed more future proofed than my 60's stuff. So consequently i have quite a few of the big modern tracks and loads of also rans.

I have a /beverly and duane LP somewhere, what is the track you specifically wanted?

Count me in - an excellent idea! Incidentally, I have a copy of the Tolbert 12 - Lucky Man for sale if anyone wants one - pm me!

Cheers

Steve

Got a copy of Tolbert as well, not for sale though. Be intresting to see what the copy in Manships auction goes for.

Count me in on cd swap.

Glad to see more on board. I've got the "Lucky Man" 12" on Rojac, but "I Got It" is the tune I'm after of course. Just sold Kim Tolliver on Tayster "Party Lights". That one is decent.

That's 12 people. I guess I'll make this Friday the 29th the cut-off date. That way, maybe a few others can get in on it, too. Once Friday rolls around, we'll get cracking on things. I'll give two weeks from that date to complete the projects. That should give people plenty of time. August 12th will be the mail-out date. If you want mail before that date, please feel free.

Once again, the musical criteria isn't strict, but the thrust is mostly modern soul from the early 80s and boogie sounds. While making my CD, I'm doing my best to stay with independent labels and making sure I'm not just putting on all-out disco stuff and 80s funk. I'm trying to find soulful singing wherever I can. Like I said before, drum machines are fine with me. That's more to the boogie end of things I guess. Your selections can be tinged with funk, disco, electro or whatever. Also, if you feel like putting on a few contemporary sounds here and there, I see no harm in that. My CD is going to be geared toward early 80s sounds, but you can take it in your own direction.

If anybody has questions, feel free to PM me here at Soul Source or e-mail me at: jazzyjas@bellsouth.net

Thanks everyone!

KTF

Jas

PS. I've had a couple of folks say to me "What the hell IS boogie anyway?" I'll put up a separate post in "All About the Soul" referring to this topic. I'll do my best to give my own interpretation. Maybe others can add on what they know and correct me in case I'm wrong about some things.

Just seen this. Can I play too? Always up for swapsies.

Good tune - there was also an album called Can't Let This Moment Go on same label from 1981 which has 2 other good cuts - Don't Wait Too Long and Rocking Me In Your Arms - haven't got it myself. Recall Soul Sam featuring theses tracks circa mid 80's.
