I've gotten quite a lot out of this site since I started reading it a little while ago - thought it was about time that I gave something back. So I'm offering up copies of a 2CD 60s soul mix that I finished off recently after a couple years of work - some rare stuff (Dianne Elliott, Tommy Dent, Johnny Praye, etc.), and some not so rare - all from the original 45s.

Wasn't aiming for heavily obscure material - just a nice mix of a bunch of records I really like. So, if you're heavily into northern soul and R&B, I suspect you'll know much of what's on here, but I'm pretty sure there should be at least one new thing on here for everyone.

I'm not selling these - if the artists aren't making anything off this, I shouldn't either... But if you're so inclined (purely voluntary), you could make a donation to a worthy cause - Oxfam is one I can recommend, but there are plenty to choose from.

Edition of 1000 copies.

Compiled and mixed by DJ Honky.

Artwork by Adrienne Yan.

Printing by Stumptown Printers.

Contact me at: djhonky -- at -- hearingmusic.com with your mailing address. I will cover shipping. Depending on the demand, I may need to cut the list off at some point.

Cheers,

Images of the artwork, CDs, the pretty letterpress printing, and a few sound clips can be found here.

some superb records on the tracklist, especially Lil Lavair!

Hi everyone - Just a quick note to say thank you - so many people have had nice things to say about my CD (I'm a little overwhelmed, actually), and I feel bad that I've now gotten so far behind on my email that I probably won't be able to write everyone back individually...so now in a group forum - I'm glad you've been enjoying it! Many thanks also for the kind donations to all the various charities - I know they will all be much appreciated.

As my tracklist link didn't work for quite a number of people, I've redone it as a plane old html file - I think this should work for everyone:

I look forward to meeting many of you on my travels and out of town gigs coming up later this year. In the meantime - enjoy the autumn and beginning of winter!

Cheers,

I arrived at my friends house in Albuquerque to find a package for me. What a nice surprise and what a great CD. Some cracking tracks I've never heard but the overall package is pure quality. Thank you Richard for your generosity!

Many thanks for this Richard. Will be donating to the Lymphoma Association

I personally would like to say, Richard, DONT EVER DO THIS AGAIN it has cost me a fortune in wants

Joking apart these CDs are probably my #1 played in the car these days.
