Aye up Simon, Has that re issue rattled you? Are you going to Soul Shakers on Sat.?

Hi Jordi

Not at all , the 45 could and should be used by someone who is going to get the mileage out of it as for me its part of my collection along with the others .

i hope it goes to a good home if not i will enjoy it for as long as i can.

cheers simon.

Is Soul Sam still after this ?

sorry dave no i dont...lookslike helena has obliged...

sounds like the record has been tightened up..horns sharpened etc...and speeded up too

Kenny Dope often seems to cock up perfectly good songs with his remixes. He tends to extend breaks, which usually serves to drain the energy from a song - he virtually managed to turn the Johnny King 12" into a house record by messing around with the structure so much. There's a good reason why original copies of big records are worth obscene money in the first place, i.e. loads of people think they're brilliant. In which case, why does KD think he knows better than hundreds of soul connoisseurs? Mucking about with bona fide killers just seems stupid to me.

So, the fun of going out to hear Dave Ripolles, Butch, Trouble etc. play Mellow Madness has been spoiled a bit, because you can now hear a bloke with a daft asymmetrical haircut giving it a spin in your local trendy bar. But judging by that clip, the remixed repress won't sound like a proper copy... In other words, this record "has been shat on, but not flushed away"!

By the way, hi there Simon - long time no see!

I think the "Peace Love not War" remix is actually better to play out than the original. The sound on the OG is pretty weak and the remix gives much needed punch to the high and mid areas. I'm not mad at the new structure, I actually think it is pretty good. I won't spit on the Mellow Madness re-issue either, considering I don't want travel to another country everytime I need to hear it.

Anybody know if there's a plan for a 12" release?

12"?! hold up jamie, people are still slashing their wrists over the 7" remix

I'm coming to Berlin with the "hot box" and the missus in a couple of weeks as it happens... I'll be DJing at the Lovelite on the 17th, it's a funk night but I'll be slipping some interesting crossover stuff in. Hoping the hair won't be too asymmetrical of course...
