So we had R&B, then the motown funk brothers style, a bit of stax and Atlantic, then the Carstairs and co...

Alfie Davidson and the Futures etc.

And obviously everything in between.

BUT by 1980 all this was covered and some.

17 years of musical evolution.

Now almost 40 years AFTER this, what exactly is modern? Please name examples over the last year or so that are different to pre 1980!

If folks who love the 60s are in a bubble, the Mecca lovers can't be much different.

What's new and 'kind of accepted ' as Northern Soul today?

I don't mean newly discovered master tapes etc from before 1980.

Sadly, Joe Soap, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I see very few truly contemporary soul productions these days but plenty of sixties, seventies and eighties retro-styled releases

Is that because you're only looking for vinyl?  Because away from vinyl there are plenty of contemporary soul productions.  Really there are.......
