Soulsource Record Club Your Choice For Autum 2014

Posted

:hatsoff2:  HI ALL....YES IT'S ME BACK (for how long) feeling much better, so thanks for all the nice comments sent, also thanks for staying with the RECORD CLUB thread WELL DONE,

As I am very late with picking a new theme, I thought it was time for us to pick the TOP Favourites of each member, ideally pick a 45 from your collection, that you feel that it is a must have record to own, not easy! as I'm aware that there are similar threads all over the WEB, that your choice will also include info that will help younger soul brothers & sisters will enjoy your pick,.

WHY WE NEED TO DO THS?  On Friday we had a Gas man at a guess he was in his mid 20s, call at our house, he could not contain himself after noticing my record room, he asked me many questions about the rare soul scene, as he had started going to local events & was going to the Blackpool weekender,

Never to miss a opportunity to play records, I put on a few classics for him, what surprised me was he did not know some & the ones he did he was unaware of the artist or title, in-fact he needed some education, (this is something that is missing from other threads, with a couple of exception, John Manships gives a great potted write up on all of his items that I really enjoy.)

A list of must haves as opposed to the top 500 records that Kev Roberts put together will differ by the fact it is record club members pick, not 1 persons view, although Kevs book is excellent, this will be if we can be a collectors guide & benefits the up & coming DJs of to-morrow,

I have put a few pictures of what I call classics, but for some off the younger people they are newies,

To kick of the thread I have picked a big sound from 1972 that would be classed as a TORCH MECCA classic,

SMASH RECORDS #S2111 - the AMBERS - "Potion of LOVE" b/w "Another LOVE".

mongo santamaria / watermelon man

 

battle records , an old favorite 

Gogger

Was at Ad Libs R n B night last night & this was played,spent the next half hour with my mates discussing various other versions only to come to the conclusion that my statement of this been one of the best versions was right.........they're like our lass?Don't they know I'm always right  :lol:

I Gave one of these away a few years ago to Pete( casper) Davis,and he was brave enough to spin it in the windsor room at Stoke nighter.He told me it went down great

For a lot of years now I've stopped looking in sales boxes while I'm out as I'm usual spent up via the internet so avoid the temptation but recently I've fallen back into old habits.It's now starting to cost me a few bob as I bought two again last night(dam that Mace & his sales patter) & proves that I can look through most sales boxes & find something I want..........suppose it just shows how long my wants list is  :D 

So back on the wagon from now on..........NO MORE SALES BOXES!!!!

Got this cracker though :wicked:

Harry Deal & The Galaxies-I Still Love You Eclipse

Heres one i have that i always rave about.It was played last night by Bridgey at Sheffields Inner Soul Night and sounded great.An old Wigan Spin from the Intros

 

Patto

Great tune & I was well chuffed to get a demo awhile back off that nice Pete Smith,been told the demo's are quite hard??

Are you sure it's a Wigan spin?Although I've known it for a lot of years I've never heard it get any consistent plays & I'd always thought it was a Stafford play but when I asked around after getting my copy all those with far more knowledge then me who I asked didn't think it'd been played anywhere enough to become associated with any particular venue?By know way I'm saying I'm right & would love it if you could give me more info that would place it as Wigan oldie as it's too good to have slipped the net??

Cheers
