Not sure of the definition of Xover, but as I'm a lot older now & my tastes have changed with the years & Riker fueled dance is not on the agenda but just love the soul, then as someone that has been off the scene for longer than the Casino & have re-discovered my lost love of soul & collecting in recent years, then here's my five of today, hope they qualify, maybe they don't? Maybe mainstream, don't know, anyway here goes:

Paul Smith, I'll Run.

Fabulous NuTones, Make a Change,

Johnny Summers, I'm Still Yours.

Four Voices, Your Love is Getting Stronger,

New Wanderers, Ain't gonna do you no wrong.

L.O.V.E - Jimmy Conwell [ Guinness ] Oh yes!! Sublime

Some fantastic records, and I think most of my favourites already covered, other than than the first, I think, and in many ways the greatest

Buddy Ace - Pleasing You (Paula)

Despite the Rupert Murdoch style reporting by people who were not there, this was the beginning, and still the greatest.......

Surely got to have the 2 great Garland Green Revue 45's in there = Ain't that good enough and Girl I love you, could compile a list of hundreds, if you're including slower soulful northern tracks, plus earlt to mid-seventies soul items. Plus nobody mentioned what I've always considered one of the greatest things ever commited to vinyl, the immense ' BYGONES ' by Bull on Bell !!
