Harrogatesoul Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Morning all. After testing the water with a few folk thought we'd have a crack at a 'Deep Sweet & Group Ballads' CD swap. Lower the tempo for the on-coming hot summer days. Considering the success of the related audio threads on Soul Source thought it might be worth a shot. There's an incredible wealth of tracks out there. So from whatever decade - whatever the price - All of one genre or a mixture. The choice is yours. Let's get some southern rasping and pleadings and cool harmonys burned! Shall we say 20 to be involved? With the World Cup going on - Is an approx. 4 week 'window' suitable to everyone? If you could PM me (with an email address) if you want to be included I'll put all the necessary details together. Thanks! Rich Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Nice one Dave, well that's me CD's sorted for next two swops, I'll just copy 'em and send em out Just a thought bout the swop, how about making the cd's we send contain stuff that ain't been posted to refosoul yet? just a sugestion. I'm sure it would produce a lot of tunes ripe for posting up. steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm sure it would produce a lot of tunes ripe for posting up. steve Good idea Steve. Although, I'm not fully up-to-date with Refosoul postings. Must try and take some time to thoroughly go through the Sweet & Deep thread. Sometimes it takes a track on a CD to "prick my ears up" whilst doing the ironing There is always gonna be some duplication with tracks and I'm looking to try and include stuff that possiby, but not guaranteed, won't be included on others. So what I put on may not be the cream tracks but still IMO good ones. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not that I care at $5 (who's making money???), but it's clearly a bootleg (apparent by a bunch of the tracks). That's not surprising but why does it say Sony in the bottom? It's not actually produced or distributed by Sony is it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I thought of quite a few tunes which I thought that were slightly out of the ordinary and they were already in RefoSoul . Think that might be quite a tough task.

Eddie Hubbard Jocko John Reed Dylan Kev Cane Mark - Funky Feet Arkwright John Lloyd Harrogate Soul Pat Biggerstaff Mike Lofthouse Jaco Soul Integrity Big H Wrongcrowd Hootenannie Sean Hampsey Darks Ady Pountain Miss Goldie Gazman OK! Magic number of 20 is up! Thanks to everyone (think everyone is listed above!). Some heavyweights in here which is great to see - I'm punch-bagging from light welter I reckon I've collected most of the information together. If you haven't done so already can everyone make sure they've sent me their email and mailing address. I'll get everything together and mail out through email tonight everyones details for the swap. I've set up an email address just for the swap so look out for the 'Sweet Deep & Group Ballad' email to come through (on some servers it may come through to your trash box) Through the sheer wealth of tracks on the Refosoul Sweet n Deep thread I, like a few others will have pulled tracks for inclusion so in an ideal world it would be great but I wouldn't worry too much. Do think it's good to hear everyones contribution in their entirety. Monday morning work beckons so any questions etc PM me and I'll get everything sorted by the end of play today. Thanks to all!

Dylan Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 stuff thats not in ref-o-soul sounds a great idea in theory but in practice I think it would be a nightmare. Time available to compile the CD is the biggest issue i'd have with this suggestion. I don't mind hearing things that are well known mixed in with the lesser known things. It might remind me just how good certain tracks actually are after hearing them again for the first time in a while. just as a test I'll run through the mp3s i've recorded so far and see just how mnay are on ref-o-soul. It might be quite embarrasing Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Reed Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Just had another thought re stuff not in Refosoul. I used to post a few tunes in the Sweet & Deep thread and occasionally still do, so by posting stuff in Refosoul has actually cut down my options. Also as someone has said there are some big hitters participating in this swap, so there isn't gonna be anything new to them on my CD. My preference is would be to leave it open as possible and just make a quality CD irrespective of price or if the tunes are known? Just a thoughts. Got some great Dooley's tunes to sift through when I get home.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Just a thoughts. Got some great Dooley's tunes to sift through when I get home.... Absolutely agree John and an ethos I think many share anyway. There's a multitude of quality 45s available across all genres for the swap regardless of price etc. Like Dylan pointed out, its easy to forget the well known etc and the joy of re-discovering forgotten tunes from your own collection is an added bonus to the swap. Looking forward to everyones' CD's. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Gonna just do a comp of stuff I got, that I think would make a good selection. going thru refosoul could be a prob with different spellings, and a couple of things I'd like to include, I know I have posted over the years. ....Really looking forward to some great music from everyone:thumbsup: steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
