Nice

Pretty neat and again beautiful girl in the pic whoever she is

Call me old-fashioned, but I can't see what a Rock Chick flashing her tats next to a big shiny hog has got to do with 'hard to find' Soul???

Maybe it's 'hard to find' a chick like that at a soul event???

So many young girls have tattoos down the bottom of their back like that, I've got one at the top of my back, right shoulder, and that was pretty painful, it must be a killer further down!

These comps are as far as I know put out for the US Bay Area lowrider/cruising scene. Loads of them about. Absolutely tasteless and utterly awful sleeve "design" on most of them. Good material on the CDs though.

Are they the one's with the 'bootys' on them, or am I getting that muddled up with the UK garage flyers? Or is that the music I'm confusing

You got a scan?

....And she's not that nice - she's got yellow hair and wearing cheap jeans, don't even get me started on the combat bra - miaoowwwwwww!!!

How about a track listing James?

"Don't judge a CD by its cover, because this volume is one of the best in the Soulful Thangs series -- filled with tremendous mellow soul tunes that definitely live up to the title! There's a distinct focus on harmony soul here -- the kinds of slow-grooving, quiet-stepping tracks that we totally love -- rare singles that recall hot summer nights of many years past, but which still sound wonderfully fresh today. There's a real focus on obscure indie artists from the early 70s -- and most numbers here are singles that you'd be hard pressed to find in the originals, and probably not in this good of condition. Tracks include "Falling In Love" by Compliments, "Forever Together" by Watch Tower, "That's Love" by First Family, "What Am I Gonna Do" by Houston Outlaws, "We Want Freedom" by Rotations, "Crying For Your Love" by The Moovin Soothin Stone Funk Band, "Waiting For Joey" by Orthea Barnes, "Some Of Your Time" by Attractions, "Hollywood & Vine" by Dell Vikings, "Confessing A Feeling (live)" by Sly Slick & Wicked, and "My Life" by Joe Jama."

Not quite as bad, but still bizaar

A quick look on the Caister site

and here's one of the very best.....thats not me in the middle, by the way.

And here is the uncensored "first pressing", I guess...

Really, really good comps, but I'd suspect seriously illegal.

Seems like the covers started to go really bad starting with volume 5.

JEEEEEESUS CHRIST!

Wow, didn't see that one. Very soulful.

Cheers mate

JEEEEEESUS CHRIST!

No I don't think its him either

Have a look on the site - there's a whole page of 'award winning' designs.....check the 'Lost' flyer on the home page with heads swapped for DJ's faces......its amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days.....they should invest in it

Who cares? Phwoooooooooar!

I've been told that the LP isn't worth a - probably a different story for the cover though!

Was probably there myself, helping on the record stall. Some of the best laughs i've had & strangest sights i've seen have been on the Vauxhall site at Great Yarmouth..... in fact, Great Yarmouth full stop

You never had any of this nonsense for Soulsville, did you Jamie.... apart from that very rare flyer of Lager Pete in his Calvins with a bottle of Baltika!

Have you got your specs on, Gene?

She's trailer trash!

Have to say the other one is quite easy on the eye though

Have checked out the tracklistings on the website and they seem half decent, though looks like a U S and A version of K Edgar Roberts in the licencing department......

We agreed never to speak of 'that' again.....

I once met a bunch of those "lowrider" guys the night before a record convention in L.A. back in 1980.

I'd gone down there with Mark Edmund, a 45 dealer who specialised in soul, and he'd arranged for them to come round to the motel room and play some 45s he was selling.

Knock on the door and I opened it to find 5 or 6 Latino guys who looked like they'd just broken out of Alcatraz!! I'd never seen so many tattoos in one place in my life. My first impression was pretty accurate cos after a few beers I found out that most of them had been in prison or were waiting to go to prison.

Up until then I'd not known much about their scene and they knew nothing about Northern but soul music does break down the barriers.

I got taken for a ride round the block in some souped-up 1940's car. The idea is to cruise very slowly, alter the suspension at every available opportunity, and shout things at passers-by in Spanish.

I probably looked like I'd been kidnapped!! They were just as enthusiastic about soul as we were.

That may go some way to explaining the ladies on the CD covers but I certainly would think twice before passing any comment on their availibility or otherwise.

agree with that ,its the easiest thing in the world to cast aspursions based on looks ,class etc,what exactly is trailer trash?Sure a few proud travellers would take issue with that up our way in the north east.

I come from a complete sh!thole back-to-back council estate in Leeds, so I'm hardly middle-class.

Can't help it if I find playing up to socio-economic stereotypes amusing, can I?
