Wide awake members may have noticed the announcement of a new 'online' uk based vinyl repair service recently in our Soul Markt Sales Forums here on Soul Source. Certainly, the post stirred my interest and would guess a few more members may have sat up and had a look Vinyl Rescue UK is the name of the repair service and can be found online via its similar titled website (link below). The website lets you know what it's all about with the opening line... 'We aim to improve the sound quality and visual appearance of your discs and bring the best out of the groove. Yann aka @Yann V is the owner and the main man, I asked him for a quick word on whats it all about... 'My name is Yann Vatiste, I am the owner of Vinyl Rescue UK which has just opened in September 2020 based in London. Vinyl Rescue UK is an affordable record restoration solution for all your precious 7", 10", 12" vinyl that is in need of a little TLC! I am long time collector & deejay myself and I have a real passion for vinyl restoration.' On the website you can find all the various repair technical details and methods, all set out in an organized manner along with images and such of the equipment used in the repairs. The main services advertised are • Scratch Repair • Click & Pop Removal • Skips & Jumps Resolved • Warps Flattened Out • Deep Ultra-sonic Cleaning To make use of Vinyl Rescue Uk services.. plus the initial thrust can all be done without leaving Soul Source! Get in touch via email or by phone vinylrescueuk@gmail.com, by phone07515 355 433 or here on soul-source messenger @Yann V Send us photos, videos or soundfiles if you can Send us your record(s) by post (recorded delivery) We will get in touch and you will receive a quote Repair will be done, You will get a report We’re sending your record back to you (recorded delivery only 1st class sign for of special delivery with or without insurance) If you are happy with the repair, then you can process payment via paypal or bank transfer Any results? Well as I said the original post stirred my interest and after reading the post I enquired about their 'Flattening Service' and after getting instructions sent off a quite badly warped 45. A few days later I got it back, the warp was not completely gone but the 45 plays fine with hardly no up/down movement, and was more than happy, It was a low three figure value 45 and so the cost of £12 plus postage for a 'upgraded' 45 was a hit with me. Photo of the 45 'before' Photo of the 45 at the same angle 'after' Certainly, much much better results than any of the various diy methods that I have used in the past. So I would suggest that if you do have any damaged vinyl then it may just be worth giving them a tap to see if can help. You can find the Vinyl Rescue Uk site over at https://www.vinylrescueuk.com/ -

Got the below press release sent in a few weeks ago coupled with a private listen of a track that my ears certainly enjoyed. As the track 'Somethings Gotta Change' is now out as a single and publicly available to all, plus it's part of an upcoming album, a quick shout of the details and the listens follows below... Press Release I Am Tru Starr is the real deal – an artist who creates songs which truly encapsulate his feelings, such is the case with his brand new single, Something’s Gotta Change, a track which he hopes will hit home with this generation like Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On did in the 1970s. Taken from his forthcoming album, Viva, Something’s Gotta Change is I Am Tru Starr’s own take on soul and hip-hop, tackling issues at the very heart of Black Lives Matter. I Am Tru Starr speaks from experience – having spent five years in a federal prison, he treats his songs as a means of paying back his debt to society – with Something’s Gotta Change, no-one can deny that the emotion and message hits the mark. Listen to ‘Something’s Gotta Change’ Press Release Originally from Rochester, New York and now living in Las Vegas, I Am Tru Starr is surrounded by the best and worst elements of what it means to be alive in 2020 as a young black man. Something’s Gotta Change is a track which I Am Tru Starr sees as a comment on society everywhere: “This society is sedated and I wanna do my part in waking ‘em up. It’s about time real music got the light it deserves. No politics. No label tricks. No big city backing. My family explained to me when I was young that Emmett Till (whose lynching was a major influence on the emergence of Black Rights in 50s and 60s America) was a distant cousin, and what he went through has always helped to fuel the passion in my music”. Something’s Gotta Change is the first track to be released from I Am Tru Starr’s forthcoming album, VIVA, which he describes as a celebration of life and all the important things in it that make it worth living –good, bad and ugly. With an immersive 70s-style funk sprinkled melody; strolling, infectious rhythm and lyrics which strike at the very heart of today’s social problems, it’s a track which has real heart and potency. “Family, love and legacy. Not this bullshit society tries to get you to put priority on like money or the new hot car or whatever they want you to be enamoured with, then turn around and make you feel like shit for not having it. Growing up in Rochester and getting caught up in those streets up there, I thought that was what life was. Fast forward a few years, I’m living in Vegas, became a father and I now see what life is and all it can be and just how beautiful it is. We are all in a place of appreciation for life and the things that truly matter. VIVA! Long live us!” Artist Details Twitter https://twitter.com/IamTruStarr Album details Viva I.Am.Tru.Starr Pre Relase 29 Oct 2020 https://music.apple.com/us/album/viva/1534409517 -

Reported in the papers today Royal Mail postal workers will for the first time collect parcels on the doorstep, in one of the biggest changes to the service as it adapts to the decline in letters and rapid growth in online shopping. From Wednesday customers across the UK will be able to pay a fee of 72p on top of standard postage costs for every package under the new “parcel collect” service. Pre-paid return items will cost 60p per item. Postal workers will collect up to five items per customer per day between Monday and Saturday, subject to limits of 61cm x 46cm x 46cm in volume and 20kg in weight. Items will be collected from the door or from a safe place on the property chosen by the customer. Customers will be able to make bookings only via Royal Mail’s “click and drop” online service up to five days in advance until midnight on the day before collection. The service will provide collection slots of between two and four hours. full news article here https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/oct/21/postal-workers-to-collect-from-the-doorstep-as-royal-mail-shakes-up-service 72p to save a trip to the local PO and all that involves nowadays, sounds good to me how about out there members, will ya use?

Just a quick heads up to let you all know that the doors are open on the new Source Store. Intro The Source Store is the latest new addition to the Soul Source line up. This new feature has been set up to offer members the opportunity to purchase quality selected vinyl and multimedia soul releases direct from our Soul Source Store in an affordable, effective manner making maximum use of all the familiar features here on Soul Source. Two sections are currently open Records - Offering current vinyl releases Magazine - Mags and fanzines More sections will be added to the store front soon. Current Store line up The store line up looks like this... Currently we have the latest releases from Big Man Records, a selection from Kent Records and some Soul Junction revival 45s {the SJ 45s come complete with a members only discount lumped on). Magazine wise there's a fair few back issues along with the latest edition of Soul Up North hot off the press are available. New additions to the stores line up are on their way and do suggest that you sign up to our store newsletter to ensure that you don't miss out on any of the new arrivals. Features Store features wise, all the main ecommerce features you expect are present, cart, notifications galore, shipping calculation, support, secure payments. Plus as the store is tightly integrated with the rest of Soul Source, features such as your account login, emails/pms, search engine, social media integration, newsletter service, are already present and in use by members. Pricing These features as already present do help us keep the store running costs down, which does a positive effect on our pricing and achieve what could be great prices for all members. They also allows us to customize the store to reflect the needs and wants of all our members at low cost/effort and so help us offer an affordable bespoke service to all our members. Shipping The shipping service is again a proven part of Soul Source. It is set up at a low-cost option of 1st Class £1.68 per 45/Mag uk wise at the moment, which is coupled with a store team setup to achieve a quick as possible turnaround of orders. Summary It's early days now, all going well so far. I do feel as long-time site owner that this addition to the Soul Source website does have the potential to be a powerful addition to Soul Source, both for members and the site itself.

NEW LADY WRAY "STORMS" There is a new Lady Wray album in the works. If you look at the tunes that we released from it already you can get a feel for what is to come. “Piece Of Me”, “Come On In”, and now The Queen of The Castle, Lady Wray, drops “Storms”. “Storms” is a gem of a record with Lady Wray again bringing her heart & soul to the table. You can hear her whole career in this tune, from the Church, to the Hip Hop / R&B, to the Soul. The new album drops in 2021 and is produced entirely by Leon Michels of El Michels Affair. Stay tuned.

Detroit Free Press running... Stevie Wonder forms own label, aligns with Republic Records after 6 decades with Motown BRIAN MCCOLLUM | DETROIT FREE PRESS 12 hours ago Stevie Wonder has released some new music — with a new twist. Wonder, who signed with Motown Records as an 11-year-old, announced Tuesday he has formed his own label, with two new singles to be distributed by Republic Records — home to hot pop stars such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Post Malone. Wonder has released more than two dozen albums and charted nearly 50 Top 40 hits with Motown and its affiliated labels since joining the Detroit-born company in 1961. The two new songs — "Where Is Our Love Song" and "Can’t Put It in the Hands of Fate" — were released Tuesday afternoon on Wonder's new So What the Fuss Music, a label name inspired by his 2005 collaboration with Prince. The songs may ultimately become part of a Wonder EP with various artists, he told journalists during a Zoom media event. "Even if I’ve left Motown, I never leave Motown," he said. "That’s Detroit." more via https://eu.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/brian-mccollum/2020/10/13/stevie-wonder-new-songs-republic-records-motown/3638656001/
