    may help sales like this, if you post the title of the 45 in the actual topic title that way people who may be just casually browsing will become aware more exposure = more chance of a sale
  2. posts dropped how many times do we have to say this there are solid reasons why we repeatedly ask all members to follow this guideline -------------------- COMMENTING ON SALES TOPICS Please do not comment on the merits/prices etc of Sale Forum items. This can have a negative effect on the sale and can affect the listings of other members sales. The finer details of the deal should be done via the site PM (personal message) system. Use PMs for personal information, chat or off-topic chat. Any comments deemed to be in violation may be removed without discussion. -------------------- in the past we have had major problems with members 'bigging' and 'bumping' up their mates sales via comments on the sales posts 'spoiling' other members sales with negative comments pushing other members sales posts down the lsitings and out of view with their comments on other sales all affected the effectiveness of both the sales forums and the actual members sales posts we got rid of these problems with these 'guidelines' if you want to talk about a 45 then just goto box forum and do it there don't use the sales topics, they are not setup for that any comments on above please use the below https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/forum/41-site-support/

  13. Summer of Soul - Wins Oscar
  14. don't really get the thrust of your comments Russ any 'current uk soul' is always gonna be a different thing than the 'soul' discussion we have on here, right?
  15. straight up? never paid much attention to the cd dept in asda but would have thought a brand new ace release in asda on day of release a bit unusual?
  16. all getting a bit toxic not sure why @Blackpoolsoul you feel that this forum is a suitable place for trying to drag out replies/actions by dealers (who are not members on here) by repeated posts asking for such It would be much more effective if you actually contact the dealers directly with such requests/suggestions/points and then pass on any details afterwards Ask both members involved can we give this exchange a rest now or if feel need to continue take it to pms thanks

  19. Had the below sent in to us... PRESS RELEASE MARCH 25 2022 - Liquid Spirits Sublime Awards for Best Album 2021 After the release of their 3rd studio album, Liquid Spirits proudly announces that their album Years won the Sublime Awards for Best Album 2021. After releasing 5 previous singles and their album in December 2021 'Years' already gained over 2 million streams on Spotify. Album ‘Years’ on Spotify Liquid Spirits live @ Radio Veronica (video 'Let Love Run These Streets') Their new album is highly reviewed in newspapers and magazines Telegraaf: **** “Please a big stage at the North Sea Jazz Festival for this great band...” OOR: “Future underground classic and an inspiration for future generations” Stepping Into Tomorrow: “we’re thrilled with this stellar return of Liquid Spirits and can’t wait to hear more in the near future!” en “....this album is going to be a landmark!” Liquid Spirits Biography (March 2022) By winning the Sublime Award for Best Album 2021 and with over 2million streams, Liquid Spirits has made a nice kick-off in December 2021 with the release of their album ‘YEARS’ . Liquid Spirits, founded in 2005, is a modern soul band of the producers duo Wiboud Burkens (keyboards) and Manuel Hugas (bass). Their idiosyncratic sound is unconventional and experimental and their urge for innovative soul music has been influenced by artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Miles Davis, Anderson Paak, and A Tribe Called Quest. Liquid Spirits released 3 albums. All three from a completely different concept and various collaborations, but still clearly with the 'Liquid Spirits' sound. The five new singles from their new album 'Years', which has been released on December 3rd, 2021, have already been streamed more than 1,500,000 times on Spotify. Burkens and Hugas have both more than earned their spurs in the international soul world. In addition to Liquid Spirits, there were frequent collaborations and tours with Leon Ware (composer Marvin Gaye/Michael Jackson) and rapper Phonté Coleman (Little Brother). They also wrote and produced the song 'Tragic Inevitability' by multiple Grammy winner Lalah Hathaway. During the writing sessions for ‘Years’, a strong synergy arose with the renowned soul singer and lyricist Ivan 'vAn' Peroti. The layered and exciting production of Hugas and Burkens in combination with Peroti's socially engaged lyrics, idiosyncratic singing style, creativity, and fantastic voice lead to a distinctive soul album; authentic and averse to compromise. Ivan 'vAn' Peroti - vocals Manuel Hugas - bass Wiboud Burkens - keys Eric Hoeke – drums All music written by Ivan 'vAn' Peroti, Manuel Hugas, Eric Hoeke & Wiboud Burkens, 2020 Lyrics by Ivan 'vAn' Peroti Produced by Wiboud Burkens & Manuel Hugas, 2021
