Kev Cane Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Nice Greg. My shows are worth a listen I think as I often feature some souleros-type stuff: https://www.mixcloud.com/StephenT/stephen-ts-sunday-soul-soup-show-15th-june-2014-1970s-slowies-1960s-dancers/ but I can't go as rare as Greg and his friends mind you Looks a cracking show Stephen, just played the first 3 tunes, all awesome, will play rest of show at weekend, there are literally thousands of great Sweet Soul records as cheap as a pie and a pint, doesn't have to be rare, like this Kev Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Reforee Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just right for a warm summer evening Dave the Hollywood Saxons is an amazing track IMO. I have only got one other release on the same Action-PAC label though if my memory serves me right and that's The Professionals " My heart belongs to you" which is right up the same street. The slower side of Northern Soul that most didn't want to know about back in the eighties! Dave H. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Russ Vickers Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I'm really struggling with some of this stuff, I KNOW that it is quality, because I know & respect the peoples taste in Soul Music who champion it & yes, there are odd things I really like, but generally, for me its too down tempo & sickly sweet, I am gonna stick with it though & do my utmost to give it a chance, I just wanted to mention my personal opinion...I do find the whole Lowrider scene with regards to this music intriguing though, to say the least......

NEV Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think it's pretty much clear we all recognise and like soulful music regardless of tempo. Just as sure that most of us buy these kind of records, at best they can be fitted into a set, but as a scene here in the UK, I very much doubt it. The crossover scene has evolved into a Sunday affair nowadays because most of the usual nights are/were flat and poorly attended, so I'm afraid the tempo of sweet soul will only ever be a group of mates in a back room of a club or pub. Oh, that reminds me... The 117 club in Bishop Auckland is now in its 10... Or is it 11th yr and we've been playing loads of stuff like this down there! Hollywood saxons and professionals being regular spins over the yrs, myself and Wayne from Shildon having both records each.... Well I had em, he still has em lol One of my faves and a regular play is this I Want To Groove You - Van Jones & The Jays: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
