Sorry not quite all about the soul but I did a new podcast before I went away but had loads of problems getting it up onto the site so I gave up, anyway now I've managed it, this is a ska/reggae/rocksteady podcast and I'm being honest here when I say if it's not the best one I've done, it was certainly the most enjoyable. Link is below and you have to click the triangle to get it to play (or of course you can download it for later), there's a full track list on the actual page, it's the very first one at the top of the page

Hi Pete...Great stuff! Some of my all time favourites there. I have the Pat Kelly 'If It Don't Work Out' as a later issue on UK Green door (1972) by Slim Smith, 1960's recordings though...flip is a soul cover too 'Let Me Love You'.

Just a note to say I purchased 2 of your old fanzines the other day...'Beatin Rhythm' issues 2 & 3....great reading.

Onto the subject of 'Soul' records by JA artists I have just picked up a copy of Jackie Edwards 'Oh Mary' UK Island....what a stomper! More for the Mod side of things really, UK recording and all that, but I love it...was quite surprised, bought it blind & cheap and thought with a title like that it'd be a bag of shite.

hello,great stuff pete,some awesome tracks, could not believe night owl, keep em coming

Where on earth did you get the fanzines from? I didn't have any copies myself until a very kind gentleman supplied me with some, and I still don't have them all. You ought to try and find some of the later ones because they get funnier as they go on, by funnier I mean the reviews are more forthright

Oh Mary is a great track...think I might still have a copy of that...I sold over 150 Islands earlier this year

Thanks for posting this up Pete , just downloaded it , and looking forward to playing it on the i - pod ,Cheers ,Eddie
