Roburt Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Ian, the Lee Dorsey (very big when I started on the UK scene) & the SJQ CD's look really nice and will have to find their way to my house (even though I'm still banned from buying any more recids/ CDs by er'indoors). If you don't mind me asking; were sales of the gospel CD set large enough to prompt a follow-up release ?? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking; were sales of the gospel CD set large enough to prompt a follow-up release ?? Hi Roburt, I recommend 'em all obviously and I'm sure you can sneak 'em past the wife. I just shifted 5K vinyl, 2K cd's and 1K books to my new address, so I know all about wive's complaining LOL.... Sales on the Gospel set have been consistant if unspectacular, so I actually think it's done well for a left-field specialist release but it certainly helped that all the repertoire was from Jewel/Paula/Ronn since those are 'in-house' labels. If we can sell a further 1000 or so over the next year or two, then "Holy Spirit" will have served it's purpose for sure. I keep getting reports that some radio stations in the U.S. are only just discovering it, so there is a consistancy about it..... Ian D 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 No Black baloons on Syls Cd... Hi Graham, Despite the typo in the 'compiled by' info above 'it was me wot did it'. I compiled the CD, along with the Bobby Patterson, from (what I believe are) 25 of the best of Syl's Hi Output. "Black Balloons" is from Twinight and therefore (as good as it is) was not available to us on this compilation. Just make sure its in your Christmas stocking mate. You'll love it! Have a great one!

Guest ScooterNik Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think I'll have to track at least some of these down in the new year. I can't think (though I probably am) that I'm familiar with SJQ or Syl Johnson, but I'll give them a go... Odds are I'll know them in that "Ah, so that's who it is" way.

Peter99 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I bought three of the Backbeat cd's recently - can't remember the titles. Two of them were compiled by Sean H - so I knew they'd have some good soul music on and the other was more of a well known sixties fest! I've enjoyed them all and added some new 45's to the collection which I didn't know of before I had the cd's. I'd recommend you pick em up. So, well done Mr D and Mr H.

There's actually 30 Backbeats mult-artist comps and 10 Backbeats artist-only comps out now with another 10 multi-artist comps coming in early February - details shortly. Advance warning: the first 10 Backbeats comps will be coming up for deletion shortly unless we renew 'em, so here's a quick checklist of everything I think:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_9?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=backbeats+series&sprefix=backbeats%2Cpopular%2C211 Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all!
