Can't seem to find a full listing so when I get some free time I'll have a dig / scour / cut and paste session and cobble one together. Sad I know.... :)

If anyone would like a copy PM me and I'll forward one on. Long reign Miami, FL SOUL!

There's a Jazzman compilation CD of the Saadia label coming out soon ("Good Things"), maybe concentrating slightly more on the funkier side, but still some great soul... Little Beaver, Pearl Dowdell, Joey Gilmore etc.

Thanks for that :) - didn't know about that one.

For me the whole late 60s - Mid 70s Florida soul sound hit the right balance between southern /deep/funkier side of soul as well as out and out Northern / Soul / Funk etc.

Hi Rich

In that case you might like a few of the tracks on another Jazzman release "Florida Funk" - Sam Baker "Do Right Man", Vanessa Kendrick "90% Of Me Is You" etc.

Check: www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk

Hi Cover Up

Have checked 'em out - Many thanks for that. Might just make a purchase or two. If anyone IS interested in a discography - This is what I have so far - By no means complete.

My scan of Purple Mundi isn't quite clear enough - Anyone with the number? Also, the James Knight(?) Cat release is in there somewhere. Any additions most welcome!

Cheers! Rich
