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

Got Cliff's yesterday (with some neat artwork) and gave it a spin on the road today. Di'Ann Carlton,Johnny Green,Alicia Myers amongst others - just tremendous stuff.

Also got chance to give Mark Speakman's an airing and without doubt one of his tracks is an early runner for favourite so far - "Realistics - Putting it down (to the way I feel about you, girl) - sublime and as sweet as it gets in my opinion.

UK recorded too! Great track - see the thread elsewhere about this - A Real Thing/Chants connection somewhere. Mike

As an aside, you Sweet & Deep folk might like these two brand new CD's I've been working on.

O' course, it might be a blatant plug, but you guys are among those 'most likely' to appreciate this particular material

Super stuff Sean, will be ordering them tomorrow. Guy gave me 6 CDs at Just Soul plus a few others I've bought latelu makes around 30 CDs I have to gradually digest.

Plenty to listen to whilst doing the ironing

have now also listened to Ady's (Hi Ady)some great stuff, loved the Persians and Hoagy Lands. Nearly put James Simpson on mine... have to say not many double up's so far.

John Reeds has arrived today together with another which doesn't appear to have the compilers name attached to it.

It's titled "Have you heard any heartaches lately"

Could somebody please oblige.

I know this thread is about the CD swap but following up Sean's shameless plug

I ordered both of these from HMV a few days ago. "I Get My Groove" wasn't yet in stock so will be sent on when it is but "Love & Jealousy" came through this morning. What can I say apart from absolutely SUPERB!

As the cover states "The Deeper Side of Southern Soul" it really lives up to the claim. As you'll all know compilation CDs are often made up of a few excellent tracks surrounded by fillers, but not in this case.

Kudos to both Sean, Ian and anyone else involved for this excellent CD. Yes, we all have a lot of CDs to wade through but £4.99 for "I Get My Groove" and an even poxier £4.49 for "Love & Jealousy" and both being post free (HMV) they're a must.

.

Really enjoyed John Lloyd and Soulhawks CD's today. I know it's been said before but I'll reiterate, the quality of this swap has been great so far.

I hope mine have landed safely.

I'm actually expecting "Love and Jealousy" to come through the door as Seans entry in this swap. A lot easier than going through the process of burning them all via iTunes :D

It's from the Here 'Tis album, 1972. Ann Bogan is just incredible on that track, and it's just about the finest 4 minutes that Harvey Fuqua ever created...... great to see it found a place with you too...

soul children "the sweeter he is" probably track of the whole swap for me can't believe i'd not come across that before now.

sensational stuff.

Yeah, a superb track especially when J.Blackfoot (John Colbert) comes in on part 2 (which is the flip on the 45)

Just a great group, Jocko must rate 'em seeing as he has three tracks by 'em on his CD

MASSIVE THANKS TO MIKE JACQUES FROM BOLTON WHO HAS KINDLY SEND ME EVERY CD FROM THIS BATCH -SO VERY KIND OF YOU MIKE-just not had the time this year due to work/business etc so now i have winters full cd wallet to gloat over and get the never ending wants up,if i see you out and about MIKE many beers coming your way.

Kind regards

BAZ ATKINSON.

Are we all done on this one?

I Must say, that I thoroughly enjoyed sharing in each persons misery and spent many a night, locked inside a darkened room listening to these CD's. All top notch.

Just seen this, Baz.

My pleasure indeed.

For me it's been a real education - just so much wonderful stuff, a lot of which I'd never heard before, Iv'e given all the CD's plenty of hammer over the last 2 months.

At some point I might do a "favourite from each CD " type of apraisal but for the time being a special merit award to Jock for 2 CD's even if one of them features the magnificent "Poem on the schoolhouse door" from the Soul Children twice!!

Mike

hello mate tis a top tune to feature twice -love the soul children in the atkinson top 5 -thanks again mate your a real gentleman.

I don't think I have all of them, gonna have to check them off by name to make certain.

Have to say though that it's the best swap I've done in terms of new tunes and jogging my memory for stuff I'd written down on long ago wants lists.

Yep definitely a great swop. I was playing Harry Battensby's / Sean Hampsey's and Dylan's CDs while driving around Chicago last week and they certainly made sitting on the 1-294 roadworks more pleasurable than usual! Must give a big thumbs up to Harry's CD. I came home hoping that The Four Tracks was the flip of Charade and The Kool Blues the flip of Try Love Again and bingo they were! Now all I've got to find is Queen Esther Marrow! Once again thanks to all the contributors for the wonderful music, Ady.

Does anyone think its too forward, to suggest a new one?

and its always nice to dig through the collection and find forgotten tracks.

Don't think so Johnny boy. I'm up for it and perhaps broaden it to ballads across the genres & decades

I'm in . Kitch suggested a group harmony swap - that and ballads would work for me.

Way to go boys, count me in, must sat though, still playing through original batch, takes a long time to digest all of that great music properly, catching a few things second or third time around.
