Will be interesting to see how this one sells; great music of course, bu it strikes me as wildly overpriced.

liking this recent gospel soul/house track

 

Edited March 2, 20205 yr by Shufflin

Whilst strictly speaking a late 2019 release in US only became available via UK retailers in 2020 .

Roland Johnson's fabulous Lp . He's 72 !  from St Louis and its released by Blue Lotus Recordings . Title track is 'Set your mind free' and i'm hopeful it will be a 45 release in the not too distant future . Getting spins from me on my radio show & dj sets to a great reaction.

new 45 on Daptone sub label "Penrose" (they've actually released 5 new 45's for pre-order from different soul groups on the new Penrose label to coincide with the live tour)

added live version

Like to see the Roland Johnson on a 45 thanks for posting. Heard these three recently on Solar Radio and thought they sounded good.

Surprised there are some left given only 25 with the 45s

one of the 45's is a previous release, the other LP bundle is a 50 issue with the new 45 only

then there is the limnited edition LP no 45 release - marketing

doesn't get released until April be surprised if doesn't sell out - but who cares if you like it

Word has it Roland Johnson 'set your mind free' will be a  future 45 release on Mark Anderson's MD Records .

This site has got so Quite it's Unreal so let's liven it up a bit with a release from The back end of last month on the fab 'Love Monk' record Label with "Sweet Maybe" (Voc. & Inst.) Just love this Nod Back to the Patrick Adams/Johnny Copeland/Cloud one Sound that was sin-ominous with the Scene at The Blackpool Mecca And Cleethorpes.  (As Well as other Forward Thinking Venues) On my turntable at home every other day at least, love it, but may not be to every body's taste and i get that.  BUT If Boogie - Funk is your Thing "Crank Up The Volume And Dance"

For now, Thanks For Listening, Stay Safe & Well....... Rick

 

Came across this today (19-3-20) thought it very nice, a track to listen to with the lights turned real low and a glass of wine to sooth the soul, (in my case a cup of tea)

Rest of the album a bit so so but this track is real nice and the Gal can sing. From the album 'Stand Up!'  By Whitney Shay - Track.... I never meant to love him, hope you like it........Rick

 

Well here is one i'm loving at the mo, Not going to be everybody's cup of tea (So Be kind), fabulously simple JAZZ DANCE TUNE by Emma Jean Thackray with a track called "Movement" from her brand new 12" EP * Great beat and some lovely Horn Blowing and Official video reminding us of how much we are missing being able to Dance and Enjoy one another's  company and only a short time into this mess. Turn Up The Volume And Enjoy *

Take Care & Stay Safe......... Rick

 

Maybe it's because I've had more time - but some great new tunes from Bobby & Steve, GLOW, J.D's Time Machine, Frank Addai, Warryn Campbell, Binky Womack, Lukas Setto & others being played at present. New Tower of Power album has some non-funk Modern Soul, Monophonics album sees their evolution progress towards the late 60s/early 70s.  It is a challenging time in society but there is some great music around too.

Fantastic track, just a pitty it's taken 25 years to see a 45 release. I'm sure that will inspire more 45 releases of the bottom less pitt of quality CD tracks from the last 30 years, sadly which many failed to buy through shallow reasons only known to themselves. Well done Patrick and Mark R for raising it's profile.

Anyone know if there are plans to release this on 7" vinyl ?

Don't think this has been posted yet. £7:50 for a 7". postage on top but still a bargain!

A nice interview today with Danny Toeman on BBC London radio by Robert Elms talking about the new up and coming vinyl and a superb live version of "She's Got Something About Her"

Landed today 😊

Not soul, but I know a few of you on here love Jazz-Funk. Real Donald Byrd vibes here. I think this is just superb (great vid too!):

 

And of course ...finally as anticipated on 45
