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

    Walter Jackson - Let me come back (Brunswick)

    Long history with this one - first heard spun by Cliff Steele I think in Cleethorpes old upstairs modern room mid 90's - just caught the end of it and was blown away. Took a while to get one at the right price but eventually did from Paul Capon, who described it as 'sex on vinyl' lol.

    Over the years though, much as I have liked it I would never really say I absolutely loved it - to some extent it's a bit of a dog's dinner with almost too much going on rhythmically and musically, and WJ sounding like he turned up at the wrong studio and got roped in.

    However started playing it again on the headphones as a late night spin and suddenly it all makes sense - the lyrics, the grooving bassline, the Jeff Perry arrangement - just fabulous. You probably don't get the best of it here but stick it up loud with plenty of bass and enjoy :thumbup:

    Cheers Pete, I think that's it - a real atmosphere tune that can sound a bit twiddly and under powered played quietly

    The 3 on discogs at the moment place it between £40 and £50.

    John

    I seemed to buy a lot of Mojo singles at the time of release. To me the standard was high, up there with other UK labels that sourced from various US labels.

    This is a great double sider from Art Gentry - Breakthrough/Wonderful Dream. Written and produced by George Jackson.

    I really like that John - new to me. You generally can't go wrong with George Jackson on the credits - one of my favorite artists ever - he was a real, cool soul man, love all of his stuff.

    A little self indulgence! That man George - How Can I Get Next To You. Super, super soul with very, very clever lyrics and links to other soul brothers. Got this on a minty white demo - its thing of beauty! Enjoy.

    This is odd....

    i never heard that GG from 93 before but it seems to have disapeaed and gas been replaced by petes selection.

    Continuing the George Jackson theme, Clarence Carter - Snatching It Back. Fame recording with Dan Penn's finest on the other side, whats not to like for less than the price of a pint

    Dylan, it is from the " Heart to Heart collect"  CD on Black Grape, May be hard to come by now as when i bought that as a new release CD the track was very popular at the time, to my knowledge not available on vinyl, pure Quality that is for sure :yes: Rick

     I have had the Bobby Hutton Album Piece Of The Action come through so I now have Lend A Hand on original plastic, Happy Days... :yes:   :thumbsup:  :hatsoff2:

    one of my customers gave me some records today  , one of them was this an oldie i still enjoy today , love game from a-z / the royal jokers - wingate records

     

    At 6 minutes maybe too long to get played out but a belter from Ed Townsend - This Too Shall Pass - from the Curtom lp Now.

    That's an interesting one - well put together but can't help thinking he should have stayed behind the desk lol

    Unsure of the date on this, possibly pre his Hi recordings. As he wrote and produced this and had 4 out of 5 of the records on Royal - Tone did he own the label?

    This has probably been discussed before but I can't find it any where.
