Top 100 Soul LP's Articles

[Harrogatesoul]

Evening! 

I don't have my magazines collection here and I need the Top 100 soul LP's listings from Voices & In The Basement if anyone has them to hand (think they both did one?!) I thought there was a thread on here but I can't seem to find one? Thanks in advance.

Was it John Lias who did the "Voices....." one ? Thought he brought it out (or the 1st 50 ) in a book last year. There was a thread on here I seem to remember.

Cheers Paul

I've yet to get johns book but that is more of an a-z (first half) from memory. Think it was john who did the voices article , and the ITB list from various contributions? 

[Soul Shrews]

Yep I think you"re right about the Voices and book. I don"t remember a ITB list. Think I have the Voices mags somewhere will try and find them Sunday if you don"t get sorted before.

Cheers Paul

Thanks Paul much appreciated. May have thought wrong about the ITB list!

I uploaded a pdf of John Lias' 100 LP article on to SS a few years ago.

Good morning everybody. You're not wrong about the ITB list. I did it in Issue 17, April 2000, ten years after the Voices one. I'm not sure how to post a copy up at moment but may do so later (when my wife is around: she understands such things) if anyone is interested. I did go through the two and compare, though, just for my own interest and 47 of the top 50 from the Voices list were still in the Top 100 of the ITB one. Ashford & Simpson "Gimme Something Real", "Charlie Jones "Love, Life & Re-Ality" and Ollie Nighingale " Sweet Surrender being the casualties. 

   In my recent Book, A & S have found their way back into my top 100, and although Charlie hasn't, I still gave it a very thumbs up review. Ollie will almost certainly make the Top 100 of my second Volume L - Z, which I am on track fro publishing in March or April of 2018. I'm currently up the the letter "R".

Thanks by the way to anyone who has bought it so far. Still a reasonable amount of copies left but when they are gone that's it. There will be no reissues.

Great listing both of them John.  Seem to remember your revised list in ITB 'shifted' a little more towards Southern Soul, which of course is no bad thing.

Still need to get you book - any idea when pt 2 will be out?

Morning Mike. Slightly possibly towards "Southern Soul" in ITB, but both lists were reasonably close. Volume " will appear in March/April 2018 for sure. I mentioned my progress on it above. Pleased to say that Mr. Lew Kirton bought my book this week...

Best
