Popular Post Robertf Posted May 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 Been a long time viewer of this site and forum, and have benefited greatly reading various threads here, discovering more than a few new to me records. I have had a longstanding love of soul music, and was prompted to sign up following posts on the Terry Callier thread - I knew a little of his work but was blown away by "I don't want to see myself"! So background to my soul journey - parents had some motown and chubby checker records so that was a good start, but in the early 1980s joined the Mod revival as a teenager, and soon found my way into the northern and 6Ts soul scene - inferno singles (sorry!) and Kent albums (still being played today!). Visited Carnaby St most weekends to buy records and clothes in the old flea market. In around 84-85 used to frequent a place called the Brewery Tap in Barking where a mix of 6Ts and modern soul was played, records like Charles Johnson never had a love so good, Lets spend some time together - Larry Houston, On the Beach - Chairmen of the Board. Attended a couple of events at the 100 club, but dipped out of the scene around 85-86, nevertheless retained the love for soul to this day, and recently started buying singles again after a long long break - can't pretend to have the musical knowledge of a lot of the people on the forum but wanted to join anyway and share in the discussion a bit rather than reading from the sidelines. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Amsterdam Russ Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Welcome aboard, Robert. In many respects, your story sounds similar like mine. I came into it about the same time. Still got an Inferno 45 and a few Kent LPs that were bought "back in the day". I sold most of my very small collection of LPs pre-Covid, but couldn't get rid of the Kent ones, bought when I was so shiny new to the scene - too many good memories associated with them. Hope you enjoy being on the right side of Soul Source - that is, by signing up and being a member rather than just lurking silently from a distance.
