MERRY XMAS AND DREAM OF BEING THERE

Edited December 25, 201212 yr by OSCARP

As a youth growing up in central Scotland late 70's and early early eighties I was brought up / listened to and collected your stable diet of Motown / 6t's soul ,

All of that changed when I was listening to a recently purchased " Live " Mecca tape from Richard Domar and The Carstairs filled my headphones in my bedroom,

My favourite stuff is that lazy drumbeat found in all good quality tracks from the philly / mecca period as below , my only regret was never being old enough at the time to go , despite getting dragged round there as a kid at the time on holiday !!!

It really was a wonderful time and Colin Curtis had majestic taste, he was a true trail blazer, that Al Hudson record is mid tempo heaven.

Thanks Barry.

I've also done several 'Mecca style' podcasts on mixcloud. Here's one of them;
