"Soul Power "pack on and were all set for a high octane weekend  !!! Attached one of those fine ingredients that actually made our thousands of  journeys up and down the country to live the nightlife essential and oh so exciting  ( now forget ya modern day Internet and CD/downloads  ) the only way back then to hear sneak previews of what musically was being tipped for bigger things was either a quick 2 minute blast down the phone  line or a  "C90 cassette " shoved in ya hand of all the latest tips/ sounds  !!!

 

Was just sifting through a load of dusty old 45s that I had forgotton all about (pesky little things them 45s ) and found this (see below) stuffed in the back of one of the record sleeves....

 

One of  Rob "Lord" Marriotts essential C90 cassette playlists .

 

Not sure of the  Circa of this ? Any ideas 

 

So dig this !!! or as Rob used to say "Right on !! Youth "

Good to see you both, and your right. Soul Power seems to be scrubbed from the texts.

Legend indeed big Rob. We were lucky enough to have him as a regular at our soul night at the Claremont for a couple of years. He really was appreciated for those epic tunes by the crowd and he enjoyed playing the place cause people were eager to hear his latest acetates and cover ups. Great times and great records. Used to be amazed when he would turn up with the records all loose in a sports bag! A top guy at top time on the scene .

Well put Mark ..... 

 

Listening to these tapes/sound files again after all this time ( posted up by Chalky on pg 1 of blog)  

 

Av got to say that Robs  playlist would still give us a good run for our money !! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big Rob on the job !!!!
