What do you think of this.....i recorded it on a soundburger which caused hissing..I like it a a record but not enough oomph for my playbox.I will get around to uploading the unreleased tracks i dubbed from a sixties Canadian radio session by Jay Jackson and Little Diane

I have been spinning the sun & rain over a year in Hamburg + @ hip city once and it went down very well everytime !!!! If ya spin it to an open minded crowd with some known northern with a similar tempo it works a treat. But as always newish tunes have to be mixed in quite nicely in order to work....

But for me a current biggie is this marc Forrest spin altough he has been spinning it for some time !!!!!

and lots of stuff played at the last Hip City Anniversary !!!!

cheers frank , glad you lilke it...if your reaction at the anniversary was anything to go by I had indeed a feeling you would ;) first played it out 2004 or ´05 in Hamburg at the mandarin kasino when I was guesting there together with butch. just sort of re-activated it of lately ;)

I'm genuinely sorry if people dont think this is a worthy topic for a thread, but I thought it would be an interesting discussion at least...I was just trying to keep things upbeat & interesting/

I would add that one prominent DJ has already PM'd me two very good tunes that were unknown to me, so just for that alone it has been worth while.

Anyhoo...lets let it run & see where it goes, keep it positive...

Unknown to who Russ? a band of 100 collectors, who have, 'the knowledge' or to the general soul public, I'm trying not to be perdantic but with so few sounds making it through into the larger halls nowadays and the rare scene suffering from numbers issues, are we talking something that might actually break through into greater spheres?

Can't believe Wylie-Hestor stompers are still turning up on tiny Detroit labels.........

Ian D :D

I quite agree in principal Ian although for the best part of 10 years prior to this being unearthed there was not much "released material" that grabbed the boll*cks so tightly... and it's been a good 9-10 years since it's first play. On that basis is this the most important / best / newest 60's discovery to come out of a 20 year period. If so, boy has that well gone dry :D

I really dont know if this is unknown or not, wouldnt suggest it is an unknown but everytime I play it, it keeps the dancefloor filled and people always ask me what it is and who its by and when I've asked some others about it they dont know it. So I would say its lesser known, up here anyway. I like it.

Please ignore the video and all the text as thats irrelevant, its the tune I'm posting. Not sure how to post a Youtube vid, so fingers crossed this works..

Can I ask when posting videos please type who and what the track is. Those viewing on mobile device cannot always play said video and it will help if they can see who and what it is, they might be able to add to the discussion. I thank you :)

thnaks chalky I have this problem with a lot of youtube links its a bit annoying.

Just reflecting on Sean's 3 above. I don't mean this in any way dismissive of the thread as I've enjoyed going through the tunes but I think the majority of Kent Select releases fit the bill of the original thread.

I think you're right Dean. Was beginning to think I'd killed the thread off, by stating that these are some of the best discoveries in recent times, just because it's so blindingly bloody obvious that they are.

They're in short supply too, already, so need picking up when you can and, let's face it, the label requires and deserves the support of every Soul fan (IMO).

Let's not forget this other brilliant Gem of a discovery from the past 2 - 3 years... also on Kent Select.

Spencer Wiggins "I'm At The Breaking Point".

A Southern Soul stormer that's certainly up there with the now famous 'Two Willies" 45 and the stunning Candi!

:thumbsup:

Ok, most of us can not come up with the big guns like butch and co but there are lots of tunes which very very rarely graced the decks and could be considered as a ''new discovery'' as only a few collectors may be aware of those tunes. I hope a few more people going to post some tracks !!!!!!

I did post this quite a few times and I have also been playing this for a good few years (8-9 I think??) but until recently it never came up on any playlist.

Also, when I asked some long standing dj's about it they didn't know about it at the time. It's not a manic stomper but a nice little mid tempo soul number which also became a Motte Oldie over the last few years ;)

Sorry for the bad sound but it sounds fantastic played out !!! I hope you guys enjoy it !!! :thumbsup:

is this new or old ?,

,

and this

quality tunage :thumbsup:

The Hudson People got played a lot back in the day around the country, originally on the Hit House 12" release, which is a better mix, so much so that Ensign picked it up and put out a 12" & 45. Was very popular at Stafford in the early 80's. Recently it has seen a third release as a re-edit on the Arision label, but not heard that.

"At the Motel" an old Yarmouth "Soul Essence" spin from quite a few years ago.

My golly that's a great track, took me an age to get an Eunice Collins, had no idea its actually been played out.. BIG record for Miss Goldie ex Sydney now residing in Melbourne, she used to hammer that on a radio show she did every Friday, that would have been 2004/5...

I would say that these are some of the very best discoveries in recent times.

Top Drawer Soul Music that would have been big on any self respecting Soul Scene at any point in the past 40 years... had they been discovered!

Candi Staton - "One More Hurt"

William Bollinger - "I Won't Have To Cry No More"

Willie Walker - "Runaround"

The YouTube clips really don't do 'em justice.

Buy em when you can!

:thumbsup:

Sean

Willie B's in the DJ box permanantly.

And if requiring a modern to northern shift - ever done the 'One More Hurt' double? (Candi, followed by Marj).

And how about Barbara Perry - A Man Is a Mean Thing. (Uptempo RnB tight dancer with rock 'n' roll guitar/ dirty sax middle eight). God bless you Ady C!

Agreed on these. I also thought the Clarence Carter EP was something special too.
