Scotters Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Just listened for first time to the Sugar Boy & Shades of Black 45 quoted above. Love it, but doubt very much in my price range, even if I could ever find one! Personally I'm gonna TRY and stick to affordable records, 60's to current. In terms of current soul, I'll be looking out for more from the likes of JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound (I think their track "To love someone that don't love you" is just sublime), DeRobert and the Half-Truths (eg, "The Joy" is lovely modern feel-good track) Westcoast Soulstars, The Teenagers, Kings go Forth and other great / tight bands like these. Also more new releases from long-established soul artists like Betty Wright...Does anyone know if "In the middle of the game" is going to be released on a 45 soon?! I hope so. Was great performance of this on Jools Holland the other night. All the best for 2012, Steve. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Russ Vickers Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Thank you - I really hope it gets more exposure, has huge potential & I love everything about it.....went down down very well at 'Filthy Soul' last week, alongside Scott Three, which is another quality dancer which could do with a bit more of a push this year.

Russ Vickers Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would also nominate Emmit Long - Call Me, which seems to have had a few revived plays towards the end of last year, first played 15 odd years ago, but reaching a whole new audience now....

Guest sharmo 1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi there have to echoe what's been said judging by sales for last year 45's like "joy" ,"to love someone" are selling well and proving popular there's some great new stuff ready with release dates that should rock the modern/nu funk/nu soul world shortly .A lot of people are buying latin tinged modern and outfit's like Setenta and sunlight square are proving popular.With dj's like moldie ect playing total cross the board and it being accepted I think records like Mr.Confuse featuring Elaine Thomas "Why can't you see me " are going to be the way forward especially in alternative rooms at Royce's dayers ect.Happy new year Simon.

Russ Vickers Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 this thread should be titled: "Name a record you recently got that you hope will go up in value in 2012" What a shame Bob, what we are talking about are records that could become popular at dances, a totally different thing to records you may have added to the collection. Huge respect for you Bob, but nice soulful cheapies can be a different beast to dancefloor killers. I'm sure you must have hundreds of discs in this category & I for one would be extremely interested in choices you would make.......so how about some positive input to the thread, you are someone we all look to for good soulful, positive contributions on SS, some times the only sane voice , so c'mon Bob lets hear your opinion on an unknown dancer with rareity not the main criteria of course.

Best Russ You should have a sense of humor about it, I know a bunch of cases in the thread where people are posting records they recently got, which they are excited about (often because they are good). Of course they also want it to go up in value. That doesn't mean they will though. Like many other collectors I have unknown, good records, often ones that became "in demand" many years after I got them... even if I played them on my radio show. I have no idea what will break in 2012. I'm not part of "the scene" so I don't know or control which records will become popular in 2012. I guess a lot of sweet soul people listen to my radio show so I have a tiny but of control over that but not much. If you look at the past years thread it's always similar, the only ones that people post that break in that year are the ones that are already starting to break when the thread starts..The records that actually become popular seem to be driven by specific DJs playing them, not by how good they are. There are thousands of good, unknown records, so I'm not sure which ones you would want me to list. I'm not saying this thread shouldn't exist, people are posting good obscure records they like which is great. People are enjoying themselves. Just making a comment that they're mostly unlikely to break in 2012. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John Reed Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Here some stuff that i've been enjoying in 2011 Buddy Ace - Pleasing You - Paula. With the organ and drum intro and then the girlies come in, such a great record..... Eddie Floyd - It's Got To Be That Way - Malaco LP, I think its a great swayer. Concervatives - Who Understands - Ebonic Sound (thanks to Dylan for highlighting this to me) Lonie Jones - Treat Your Baby Right - Jenmark. I have a fondness for all Senator Jones' labels and this has Charles Brimmer at the controls. Bettye Swann - When The Game Is Played On You - Atlantic, her release after Kiss My Love Goodbye. Leon Byrd - I Got Love/ I Catch Myself Crying - SS7. Catch Myself Crying is the side for me, but the other side is a nice SS7 dancer. The 77 release can be picked up for pennies.

Steve G Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Bob does make some fair points.

Dylan Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi Joel, yes fraid so. Butch was the first one I heard play it. ATB Steve Yes i'm sure that james knight has been pushed before. I picked it up after first hearing "baby please pretty please" on cat then going on to look for other stuff by him. Its a great record and has the latin vibe that seems in vogue now. So no reason why it couldn't go on to be a much more recognised and even more popular record than in the past. It seems quite obscure i've not seen loads of copies.

Guest Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 does nobody have a sense of humor here? i apologize for posting non-recommendations in this thread. here is a recommendation in the spirit of this thread: Bob, having a sense of humour was banned from the UK soul scene in 1937. At the same time it became mandatory to moan constantly and be miserable. People laughing and enjoying themselves are obviously not real soulies!
