    Was there a vinyl original of this Steve? I still play my old maroon boot at home, such an uplifting record.
  2. I can't hear any Go Go in it, well ok, there's a cowbell in the background, and I can't hear any 80's/90's rare groove/acid jazz going on either? It's a decent new release that should sound good in clubs, it's definitely an antidote to clubland house music or soporiphic Rn'B. I'm sure it'll end up being played at some local Northern night, especially if they do another video with some northern 'style' hoofers in the background.

    Mystery solved!! It was doing my head in. My copy says 'Can I flow' and without digging it out to play it, I had a listen to the track on Youtube and it certainly wasn't the track on my record. Just listened to 'Funny Love' on Youtube and sure enough that's the track on my record. (my favourite track on the whole EP.)

    The Fantastics on Impressario are nothing to do with the Fantastics on Bell as far as I know. The Impressario Fantastics are from Houston Texas. They started out as the Masters of Houston, then Masters of Soul ("Do you Really Love Me" etc) on Ovide. "Where There's a Will...." is from 1971. Some or all of that information may be bollox.

    And what a drum sound! Brilliant cracking snare and shuffling beats. Superb.
  6. It's what i would have done as a youth if i'd got an air rifle and a box of unwanted 45's, after I'd shot the cock pits out of the airfix model planes of course.
  7. Yep, and it's virtually impossible to get one in good nick. They occasionally come up on Ebay and they tend to go fairly cheap IMO as it's stilll not that well known. It is a hard record, and like Jamaican 45's, many of the Panama 45's are not in good nick even if you can find them.
  8. We need to get Columbo onto the trail of this 45. It's definitely got a mysterious history, from the stories of john anderson leaving loads in a barn in mid USA somewhere and not being able to find the place again years later. Who knows, may be there are still a couple of boxes just waiting to be unearthed or may be they were used as frisbee 'clay pigeon' target practice for the yokels in the area.
  9. I love the Constellations, such a feel good tune, brilliant atmosphere and fantastic vocals. A bit like this one by the Manhattens which is a tiny fraction of the price, but very similar.
  10. What? He sold a boot....er..reissue, for £300?
  11. Ah, I missed the 60's reference. Ignore my 'spacy' 70's offering then.
  12. I don't understand the term 'spacy' in context with the records that have been highlighted. This to me is a nice 'spacy' atmospheric tune, although I think it's Chicago, not Detroit.
  13. I play this a lot at home, fantastic record.
  14. This could go on forever for me. This is possibly one of the greatest, most exquisite love songs ever sung IMO. It takes me back to a shared Christmas present me and my bro David got one year when we were young, on the 'Forever Gold' LP that became a major starting point for me on a road going away from Northern soul and discovering other genres of soul. It's a tune that just chokes me up with it's beauty, and it contains the line "your a positive motivating force within my life". Can't get better than that......or can it?
  15. Bloody hell, write out 100 lines. 'I must flip over my 45's'. That's the first time I've heard that Johnson, Hawkins Tatum track, fantastic and even better knowing now that it's on the other side of 'Your love is drawing me closer' which has been in one of my boxes for a hundred years. Doh.
  16. You must be getting mixed up. It's Wiilie Tee alright, just a different take.
  17. This is an awesome thread, so many brilliant records that really show that Soul Source isn't just about OVO northern oldies v's upfront funky killers v's baggy beer towels etc, blah to the blah. Some utterly devastating headphone tunes that need to be savoured in the right way. Keep 'em coming folks.
  18. Oh yes, good call mate. i love how she forgives him at the end. Just like real life...ahem.
  19. . How did this masterpiece get buried into obscurity? It's criminal that tunes of this calibre didn't make it.
  20. Oh my goodness. Mike Kirkland and the boys.
  21. Where do you start on this topic? Here's a couple that never fail to make every hair stand on end. Solid Solution and Hollywood Saxons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wfNNdHBRII
  22. This ended a couple of days ago. https://www.ebay.com/itm/271385033399?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  23. This one shifts a bit. Zodiacs.
  24. Absolute bargain on this beaut. If I didn't have it already, I'd snap this up.
