Guest brummiemick Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What was Keith Richards like ? ......... He wasn't a cheerful boy either Found this somewhere else -- At a recording of Ready Steady Go! in 1964, Jagger asked Godin to introduce him to Marvin Gaye. "I told him to f*ck off and introduce himself", Godin recalled. That is so funny - although I grew to like many Stones tracks - when I was kid I would have loved to tell Jagger to "f*ck off!"

Candiman Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Dave was indeed limited by licensing restrictions but was of course proud that all were licensed correctly and the revenues went to the right people. Some artists and writers benefited very well from the series as the sales were extremely good thanks to the concept, content and Dave's tireless work. He refused to be paid more than expenses on the 1st volume as he was worried it wouldn't break even! We are still toying with the idea of putting out a final volume as there were some of his key tracks unavailable at the time that have since become licenseable. He has written of several of these in his columns so we could even have authentic Godinese in the notes; if it does come about you'll all hear it here first. We might be accused of cashing in but Dave would definitely have been happy to see these sides out under his banner and it would give the series one last boost and hurrah. Waiting now for this CD! Re the top 100, these would have to be in my top 10: Roszetta Johnson - Who You Going To Love (what an arrangement!) RIP Roszetta Doris Duke - I Don't Care Anymore (the lyrics! - Swampdogg at the top of his game) Jaibi - You Got Me Eddie & Ernie (not sure which one though!) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Beegee Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Nice work. I have all four of these superlative CDs and you have ranked my vinyl purchases therefrom at 1,6,41,61& 62. Not sure what that says about our mutual tastes! Would have put Ruby Andrews higher myself, but hey, it's all top stuff. Cheers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Scotters Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Missed these comps for some reason, so have just ordered all four and I look forward to a Deep Soul Dive (or is that Dave) real soon! Interesting post and links, Cheers. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stevesilktulip Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Well done to Kris Holmes for restoring some sanity; I thought words like seedee, utub3 and 1p0d would require substituting letters like the f and c words. I recall saying to Paul Mooney that the first is the second best seedee ever after the What's Going On deluxe. However,the first is MUCH better than the second which is better than the third which is better than the fourth. I guess he was just trying to be clever including not very good James Brown, Otis Redding and Rick James tracks and, from memory, there's nothing from giants of the genre like Luther Ingram, OV Wright, Otis Clay, ZZ Hill, Sam Dees etc. etc. Would be good to see someone else give it a shot though; I'm pretty sure Searling and Dr. Bob like Deep Soul. Or I,m available. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Polyvelts Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yes Dave wrote the lot, the last volumes was dictated to me from his sick bed but he wanted to get them out. He was as proud of the series as of anything in his life. That's great to hear, but I must admit 'Slow and moody black and bluesy' (have I got that right ?) was the LP that turned me on to a deeper sound, so big up yourself too Ady (and of course Randy) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

And the equally brilliant 'Pure Soul' on Kent too! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I had bought the first two Kent Albums and bought the third simply assuming I was getting more of the same. What an eye opener! It led me to the equally brilliant Atlantic compilation Soul Deep Volume 2. These are still among my most played albums. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jim Elliott Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Stunning cds, so grateful to the lads for putting them out and widening my horizons ten fold. Jim ;) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tobytyke Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 We must not forget the two deep soul albums he compiled for contempo in the 70s which are both outstanding. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tim Richmond Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 We now have volume 5 to consider! Another amazing selection, put together posthumously, with great narratives from some knowlegable soul connoisseurs , well done guys. Anyone brave enough to to rank the tunes 1-125? Not me! Tim.

Westender Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 1-125, no way. I can just about get down to a top 10 (in no particular order) Jimmy Robins - I made it over Barbara West - Anyone but you Paul Kelly - The day after forever Judy White - Satisfaction guaranteed Otis Redding - Just one more day Jean Plum - Look at the boy Bob & Earl - Dont ever leave me Knight Bros - I'm never gonna live it down Sam & Bill - I feel like crying Arthur Conley - Let nothing separate us Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
