Some tunes, back in the day, used to be massive, then over and done with very quickly and seem to get lost forever.

A few examples:

Cal Tjader - Soul Sauce

Black Soul Music - Black Soul

Mack Simmons - Turning Point

Attractions - Mammas Baby

Cant say I've heard any of these at a soul night in 30 years.

Any others deserve a mention?

As far as I am aware Soul Source was played in the very early 70,s (Torch etc.) and even generated a reissue on verve. The original plays were because of the UK Verve release followed later by its subsequent revisit (oldies) around 78 time. It was also used as a backing theme to a children's BBC programme (can't remember the name) that my kids watched in the 90's.

Soul Sauce wasn't reissued until 1979 on that blue Verve bootleg.

One of the worst records I've ever heard, for some reason Russ started playing it despite it being a 50p cheapie, four weeks later it was bootlegged, things happened so fast back in those days.
