HI BROTHERS & SISTERS, May I wish all of you the very best for 2016, & I for one am so glad to see the back of 2915, after at times feeling so ill & in constant pain,  as you may be aware I have completely neglected the thread for most of the year, more of that later, but first can I thank those of you who have kept the club running through out 2015, .

Do I need to explained the rules are so simple, 10 you must own the record on vinyl to make a posting, 20 hopefully your choice will be a 45 seldom played or new to the forum, 30 any comments made should be about the record nothing else, 4) this thread is not for selling records or for promotion of events please/

The first record of 2016 is from C L Blasthttps://youtu.be/qstR_oUoT-k  A great bit of soul my copy cost £10 but have seen it sell for £100+ HOPE YOU LIKE this 5 STAR rated 45 KTF in 2016....DAVE K

Cheers

YEP Saw that Martyn real holy grail stuff, was it Mr Parker selling.Never seen an issue with my own eyes,the orig demo is hard enough these days.Realise these big oldies are not everyones cup of tea but try playing em and watch peoples eyes light up as their minds do a timewarp back to the days of no joint pain :)

Yes it was JP selling it along with a Flash Mckinley,would rather have had the FM if I had the pennies,one of my fave tunes of all time.

Keep posting those great oldies,no problem hearing them this end :thumbsup:

Feeling slightly fragile this morning so something smooth & mellow today,can't be doing with any boom boom just yet :facepalm:

Isaac Hayes-Cafe Regio's Stax

 

 

This is another I heard on a Levine Mixcloud Episode while on holiday recently.

While I think that this is great and Mr Levine refers to it getting plays, he doesn't half push the boundaries with his blue eyed selections.,

Good job I like sunshine pop too.

Having made an offer on discogs for a vg copy at $40 the guy turned it down

while on the same day I managed to reel one in Ex, on ebay for half that.

Anyway I'm guessing that Martyn must have bought this one to our

attention at some time

Having heard Shaft played on radio 6,sunday, my thoughts turned to Cafe Regio's, funnily enough always my

avourite track on the LP.

Still remember enjoying the movie first time around, and the impact of Issac clad in brass ring waist coat picking up his Oscar.

Different and nice choice.

being playing this on radio show and DJ spots - gets a 'love it' or 'it's awful' reaction . Obviously it's the former for me .....

Not quite in the "awful" camp but it's not great imo,it's a brave man who would take on a Curtis M classic.

Cheers

Loving the banter between Martyn and Neil cant beat two old soul men taking the respectfull piss out of each other.

By now it should be clear im a 60s mafia man but today its a 70s record that took a massive chunk out of me when i first heard it and danced to it in cleggy winter gardens many moons ago.Its a prized jewel in my box in its U.K Demo clothes.Pure Northern Soul 70s style and a monster oldie that crossed to all venues here are The Skull Snaps

 

Bit of a funky one from me today :wicked:

Perk Lee ‎– Peanut Butter Sandwich / The Docks

Discogs tells me that this is a nice, but quite a pricey item.

According to that source it was released on two labels then as the clip is showing Boss and if so is one more affordable

as I like it a lot. ? Nice one

If you like the banter between me & Neil on here you should hear us when we bump into each other when we are out...........not for the faint hearted.........but great fun :lol:

Skull-Snaps great choice,one of the great openings to a dancer,what follows those few bars ain't bad either.

Hi Gaz 

Love this had it a long time 

I Need You came out on another label quite expensive can't remember the group it was played out @ DTown soul club Derby Saturday didn't like that mix 

This one by these guys is the DB's IMHO & a lot cheaper

Martyn's posting of the excellent "this I beg of you" brought to mind the Shirley Vaughan track,

both of which I bought from Richard Domar for around the five quid mark, probably 25 years ago.

Sadly there seems to have been a ton of them around over the years, so they've stayed in the

Northern for under a tenner boxes.

True.

a fiver is still about my limit though.

To be fair we had no idea about scarcity 25 years ago.

Not that we do now, but there are some tunes that might have broken had they not turned up

in huge numbers.

Has anyone been watching Luke Cage?

What a (qualified by "todays standards" ) brilliant sound track.

I like my Marvel  series', but the NETFLIX ones are like watching paint dry.

Must be a thread on Soulsource about somewhere I guess.

Great music though.

I note that the Youtube clip shows the UK release on Blue Horizon.

The label was regarded as a mainly UK Blues label, being the original label for Fleetwood Mac.

A bit of a strange release for the label at that time, I would of thought and quite rare ?
