SOUL SOURCE RECORD CLUB 2017

Posted

:hatsoff2:WOULD YOU ADAM & EVE IT, THE MACHINE IS BACK, AS YOU MAY BE AWARE MY MANY YEARS OF LIVING THE HIGH LIFE ON THE RARE SOUL SCENE WITH IT'S ALL NIGHTERS & ALL DAYERS, ESPECIALLY BACK IN THE 1970s, WHEN I LIVED IN LETCHWORTH, MY WEEK WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:- THURSDAY NIGHT, GO TO BEDFORD WITH MICK SMITH, FRIDAY WIGAN OLDIES BUYING & SELLING 45s IN THE BAR WITH MICK SMITH, ADY C, & PETE WID,  SATURDAY NIGHT BLACKPOOL MECCA (OR AS I USE TO SAY, GOING TO BLOCKPOOL TO SEE THE HALLUCINATONS). THEN ON TO WIGAN ALL NIGHTER, SUNDAY THE RITZ OR CAT WHISKERS OR SAMANTHAS ALL DAYERS, THEN MAKE MY WAY HOME, SO COMPARED TO SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE NORTH, US FROM THE SOUTH REALLY HAD TO BE PASSIONETTE ABOUT SOUL MUSIC...OR BLOCKED?

SO THE LAST FEW MONTHS, MY HEALTH HAS WORSENED, WITH TYPE 2 DIABETIS WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH 50/50 CHANCE OF LOSING MY LOWER LEGS, SUSPECTED BOWL CANCER, HEP B&C, MY ADDICTION ISSUE PLUS OTHER STUFF, ALL LEADING ME HAVING TO TAKE 47 DIFFERANT TABLETS EVERY DAY, THEN THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH MY LAPTOP SCREEN, AFTER ME PUTTING MY FIST THROUGH IT LAST jANUARY AS I WAS IN A SULKING MOOD, BUT NOW I'M BACK, AS I have no sound files for these 3, if someone could put them on for me,

However I must show you the Craig Douglas on Indian $tateside don't know how rare it is but my copy is the only one i've seen, VALUE PLEASE

AT THIS TIME I MUST THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING THE CLUB ALIVE, SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO MIKE & A BIG THANKS TO KEV. I HOPE TO GET HIM A PINT IF HE GETS HIMSELF DOWN TO THE STABLE, JOHNNY BEGGS GETS THERE? 

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, IT SEEMS THAT KEV MADE NO RULES FOR THIS THREAD THAT'S COOL, HOWEVER I STILL BELEIVE THAT ANY RECORD ON THIS THREAD, YOU SHOULD OWN A COPY (thats what the club is all about. picking a 45 from  your collection, it does not matter if rare, northern, beat ballard, funk, motown, or JA Soul, my preferance is rare UK SOUL & classic northern origanals).Scan_20170323.thumb.png.5c9c0462172b53224892df07625a763e.png

    Welcome back Dave. I've just replaced my old copy of this with a nice white demo - the 7 of course. One of my favourite modern tracks without doubt, a superb dance record to boot. It's been hammered o

Edited by hullsoul

Initially I thought Gary's post of Stevie Hawkins was a version of this Bobby Bland track but on closer listening it's not.So thought I'd post the Bobby track as I'd forgotten how good it is :thumbsup:

Give this one a go Martyn, Ivan Boogaloo Jones 'Black Whip' (Prestige) - reckon it would sit nicely alongside some of your Latin tunes as an early doors spin

Nice one Martyn, thanks for posting.

Despite her rather fragile vocals, I always loved her "I'm so in Love" DJM LP, which this cracking track is also on.

I never realised though, until you posted this that the DJM  album was a re-issue or more accurately a re-compilation of Happy & In Love

which I now find out was released 4 years earlier on MOJO (Fontana US). Dunno how I missed it at the time, I could have had 4 more years of listening pleasure.

"I've Just Gotta Tell Somebody"  B/W I'm so in Love" to was released on a label called "Shotgun", as 45 a few years ago.

Whether this was a boot or not , I don't know but it looks legit.

Anyway for the un-initiated:

Nice choice of song Pete from Luther Vandross, he did so many great tracks, one of my big favourites is So Amazing blew me away when I first heard it which was when it was played at a wedding reception bash. :) :hatsoff2:    

 

As it's a nice sunny day here this oldie sprung to mind.Wigan or Mecca first anyone please?

Sergio Mendez - Love Music Bell

 

 

  Huge favourite of mine from the one and only Mr Jackie Wilson - Since You Showed Me How To Be Happy  :yes:  :hatsoff2: :hatsoff2: :hatsoff2:
