Top Tips For 2009

Posted

Hi,

Exactly 12 months since we did the last 'Top Tips' thread... and therefore 24 months since the previous :lol: ... so, as it's now a Soul Source tradition, here we go again!

Here's your opportunity to tip the tunes in your box for future greatness during the coming year... or simply list any number that you'd like to recommend to other Soul Sourcers.

You might be a DJ with that tasty unplayed, unknown, hardly played or semi-known 45 stuck in the back of your box that you'd love to play... but haven't quite got around to it... yet!

You might be a collector, sitting on a tune that you know, if it got into the right hands, could become massive in the next 12 months.

It could be an LP track that, for whatever reason, has never been given the recognition it deserves.

It might be a tasty 'B' side that, given the right exposure, might just have what it takes to become a monster!

No need to post sound clips. Just let us know what you've got that you think deserves a plug in the coming year!

So come on. Look at your box and let's have your top tip (or tips) for 2009.

Oh... and a Happy (and Soulful) New Year to all!

:D

I know mate, I remember it fro 79/80ish I think? From jazz/funk scene.

Peace, Love, Not War - Johnny King and Fatback Band

for its quality, lyrics and sentiment! :thumbup:

Deepfunk oldie, innit :thumbup:

Kenny Dope remix of it is a bit better to my ears (keb had a nice 7" version of the remix, not sure it was ever pressed?), better production certainly, which is a bit 'shallow' on the OG vinyl. IMO.

Boss record though :thumbsup:

Put another zero on the price and mention that you just sold a copy to Butch that should do the trick :yes: .

that's nice....the precisions meets the temps!!.....its got that thing!!

Amazing!-I`ve been playing "TODAY`S MAN" for years. One of the few 45`s which I`ve never even bothered playing the flipside. :yes:

Here`s a tip for all you kids out there-play BOTH sides of your 45`s-they may surprise you... :)

note: "Today's Man" was originally a Blackpool Mecca classic from C.early '76 (on Atlantic, before the Ovide release was known). It was released in the US in 1969.

OLD M PRESSIONS - Right on - BROOKS BROTHERS

Sounded so good at the last Hip City...better than what I remembered it.

Vonciel Myers

Was this the thing Bestside was selling last year on a red label with starting of bid of like $2000 or something?

Top notch and big :unsure: to whoever started playing this first.

The Rev Cliff Camfield was the first to play it Adam,you got one as well now ?,sold mine a month ago

yeah thats the one.............two cracking sides imo

sorry i can't do clips :unsure:

Wes Black was a big Sam spin at the Modern Soul Allnighters at Birmingham Locarno, C.1982 and has probably had it's day, however the mellow flip (actually the official a-side) sounds far better nowadays (to me anyway), being somewhat in the gentle vein of a Curtis Mayfield song perhaps.

I know I was there, but Im talking wider exceptance on the mainstream NS scene..........Im sure your a really nice bloke, but unfortunately you do come over as a bit of a 'know it all sometimes'........

Happy New Year

Russ

Hi Salmon,

Should have guessed at Cliff really! Yes picked up a copy for myself, will probably give it a spin or two at the new Coventry night...plug plug!!! Hope you're keeping well mate?

Adam.

Cracking record Paul, one of my all time faves and still don't have a real one :shhh:

Will we see you on Sat in Cambridge ?

I will try..working all day after coming back from Lowton! :lol: Hard life.....But, yes, Ill pop in!

best

Paul

Few of my choices for 2009 would be.........

Frank Lynch - Young Girl - My Records 2101

Echoes - Million Dollar Bill - Pulse 20770

Chantells With Aqua Lads - I'll Never Know - Aqua 8755

Little Joe Cook - I'm Falling In Love With You Baby - Two-Jay 1003

No if's No but's, Tyron Dixon feat John Davis - Bringing Back (original mix) will be an absoloute monster on the Modern scene this year & if somebody like Sam picks up on it maybe the Northern scene as well.

Thanks for that Cunnie - a very nice refreshing strong vocal soul tune........for 2009 and well recommended :thumbsup: .

Only played the original mix and sounds good to my ears.....but well it won't be everybodies cup of tea.
