WOW!! Not before time, but have to say, "Why Has It Taken So Long?"

Being Tea Total it would not bother me in the least, and from personal experience i used to run a Soul Nite (Soul Scene) at The Central Community Centre (Scunthorpe) from the Early 70's To '83, No Alcohol Just Great Music, 60's Soul And Current Obscure new releases at the time (so NO Time warp for Me) and that is still my Music Policy, Don't remember reading anywhere that they stoped making good Soul Music '69 Onwards 🤣 Those that wanted a drink used to go to the Pub First, then in they would flood, but i have to say back then Music was Always at the Forefront of a Soulful Nite, unfortunately that is not always the first choice theses days for a lot of people, (Not All it has to be said)Just Get Out There and enjoy Yourselves While you can, and enjoy some of the Greatest And Most Beautiful Music On The Planet 😍

Thanks Guys, Must have missed this first time around, good job you lot are On The ball, must have been thinking of getting my impending "Bus Pass" at the Time 🙄

Was Listening to Radio 4EXTRA on Wednesday evening 14th Nov. (8PM) and caught a very interesting show about inmates making their own music while serving time in prison in the USA Called, "Prisoner Soul" Could have done with a lot more than the half hour given to it but very interesting none the less. Not only did they Write & record them they were pressed on to vinyl and made available to radio stations to play and were sold to the general public at Bull Riding/Rodeos which they were allowed out to participate in under supervision, these discs are now very rare and collectors items selling for lots of money, (sounds familliar) This was all organised by the Prison Governing Board at the time (1970's) The Recording Studio was BETTER equiped than The likes of Duke And Sure-Shot (Quote from Program) A couple of tracks played were Behind the Walls, I think by The Outlaws, a couple of tracks by Reginald Haynes (known By Northern and Modern Soul Collectors alike). With The Morning, Everything Gonna Be Alright, Legendary Writer Producer George Kerr Became involved too which made the subject all the more interesting, We all know the legendary "They're Talking about me" - Johnny Bragg was recorded while he was in jail and we know what happened to that, But what other Gems are lurking about out there that we know nothing about recorded while Behind Bars, Maybe our American Members (or anyone for that matter) can help shed some light on this very interesting subject. And i am sure the program will be on the BBC's Website. Hope you find the Short but Sweet Show interesting as i did, and we can generate some interesting debate and maybe some interesting Tunes. All The Best Rick

Here You GO.... N-Joy

A couple that came out (and were massive on the Dance Floors) for that Funky Shuffle Style Dancing were these Bad Boys that Rattled A Few Bars! with People.

Back to 1975 with this forgotten 'Cleethorpes Pier' And 'Wigan Casino' Spin

Has to be said there has been a growing trend in the price of certain "NEW RELEASE" soul records with some being more than £20 + Not particularly un-released things but usually Retro Sounding Soul aimed at the soul buying public (You And Me) where as Pop, Reggae and Basic Soul Releases/Re-issues available from £3:50, so who are the Mugs, I Know we make the choice whether we stick our hands in our pockets and fork out, but we are all guilty of one thing and that is our love of Good Soul music, but there comes a point when we have to question why some record labels think they can charge what they like where as others continue to give us a good deal on what we pay.

P M'd You,

Haven't Seen One Of Those Since Rob Thomas Sold A Copy To "SOUL SAM" At The Cleethorpes Pier All-Nite, He Played it That Nite And The Pier Was Nearly Stomped Into The Sea, Really Nice To See One Available Again.

Sad news indeed, Open up your heart Still in my Modern Box, Remember buying it via Rod Dearloves Voices Record Lists when he got them in as a New Indie Soul Release, it Went massive in the Right Soul Nites, A wonderful voice and a wonderful recording that just builds with emotion as it carries you along, yea i am Sad this Morning, RIP, Theryl DeClouet, Condolences to all Family And Friends, Loved Ones and Soul Fans Across the Globe.

Once again we hear of another Wonderful Human Being Leaving us, I'm Gutted like so many people will be as the news filters through, RIP Mr Gardner And Condolences to all you Friends and Family. Needless to say it Will be getting A Spin at Our Next Soul Session As a Tribute To The Great Man

New to me, Love this Low Rider Stuff, Strange how these Slow Beat Gems can lift you when you're Feelin' Down

Hey that's Fine Andy, Nobody's Gonna top The Spinners Version lol , Just thought it was a bit Different From a lot of other versions that get played these days,Builds as it gets into it too , anyway, i like it in a quaint sort of way, Silly old Sod that i am! 😉

This Is Nice, Real Nice, Wow!! 😲 And as far as i know they are not a recorded band, think they do shows in their country of origin, not sure what that is, have a few covers on YouTube so just thought It's "Good To Share"

Very Interesting, Thank You, Still Have my copy of the movie on VHS Tape 1991, wow that long ago (Which i will have to go back to for another viewing) Have not watched it in ages,Also have the CD with songs from the movie, 'I Got Nothing But Love For You Baby' Got lots of Spins Out From Me, also the fab 'House Of Love' i think it was called is a really nice track too.

Have to confess i don't have a Lap Top, I only use YouTube as a reference when there are records for sale i don't know, listen to my Vinyl Records at home through my Hi-Fi System as loud as i dare risk it, thankfully i have good neighbours Ha Ha, Coz My hearing ain't what it used to be.

'We're so satisfied', Yes we are ! Proper Uptempo Soul or what, Nice One ! 😀
