Seems to be going for a ton Gareth. Jordi

"Baby I'm Ready" lp track just sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. Proper grown up singing. Jordi

Good description Rob. I think of Crossover as a bit like slowed down Northern, but with music slowing down on the Northern scene anyway sometimes what gets played on the Northern scene is crossover and has been played on the Crossover scene (wherever that is!) for years. I personally think that the mid tempo Northern and Crossover make perfect companions. Crossover incorporates funky elements in the music also with rhythms and grooves being more complex than your Northern 4 x 4. Basically Crossover is whatever gets played at a Crossover do, from slow/mid tempo to fast uptempo, just the same as Northern is whatever gets played at a Northern do. There is no other answer when you have James Fountain's Seven day lover played next to Sliced Tomatoes and Bobby Goldsboro at a Northern do. (Well you used to.) Jordi

Bloody hell Nev that Deniese Chandler is cheap. If anyone doesn't know this you should buy it blind. fantastic record! Jordi

Ste, Yes my copy is fine. £12 inc. post if you want it. PM me for details. Jordi

Ste, I've got a copy you can have. I'll mail you later when I get home after I've checked condition, although I think it's in fine shape. Jordi

I'd certainly recommend the Ebonies 45 on Midwest. Brilliant record and you don't see it very often. Jordi

Hi Marisa, You should be able to get a copy from someone on this forum for probably £25 - £30. He also did a couple (or more?) albums which contain superb tracks and although they are very rare and expensive on original label, they have been re issued so you can easily get them. Jordi

--> QUOTE(C.B @ Oct 30 2006, 11:48 AM) link Are these really the guys..? Or another band called "Kings of Soul"? Great photo Christian, I don't know the answer to your question but I'm fascinated by old photos of the obscure artistes. Is there a book or website that specializes in these kind of photos anywhere? Jordi

Is your sister good looking? Jordi

Was thinking the same Richie. One of the best double headers ever! Jordi

What a brilliant way to wake up. I wish someone would post a Guitar Ray through my letterbox. Mind you I've had a coupl'a nice 'uns drop through so i should'nt moan. Jordi

I've got the Jerry Warren 12" and the Down Five 12" but I would need some serious 7" trades for these if you're interested. I've also got Richard Starr that I would probably let go of. Jordi

--> QUOTE(C.B @ Oct 17 2006, 10:49 AM) link Yeah, I read it.. Very uplifting reading! I like the part about... "The theories are right in that he had some issues in his personal life that knocked the wind out his sails (sales?) ahem but I hope for him that he's on the up." Obviously he didn't have more problems, then that he was able to steal my money first! To quote someone from a funk forum: "He needs to die of syphillis basically" CB Christian, I've had quite a few dealings with Kev over the years and he's always come through for me in the end. I've had long, LONG waits for things, wrong records arrive, more long waits etc, but he has come good. I don't know what to say really apart from just keep trying. I don't think he's a crook, just seriously disorganised. Best...Jordi

I thought it had been this price for the last 10 years. Jordi

It's simply about making money. The music industry hardly exists anymore. It isn't about selling records, as I said before it might as well be shampoo or dog biscuits (eh??) but the thing is that they don't have to sell the music, they sell the image. They sell the lifestyle through videos. Nasty tin can tat bling dripping off some talentless thug or bimbo sells much more to the young impressionable crowd than someone with genuine talent like Adrianna Evans. Gone are the days when musical excellence, or in the case of rap music intelligence, counted for anything. I feel a rant coming on ...... think I'll have me dinner. Jordi

I don't know how "savvy" the record companies are, I would say lazy and greedy and not even intertested in music. They might as well be selling shampoo for all they're bothered, so long as they're shifting units. If they have a product that sells eg Beyonce and Destiny's child, then rather than sign other different style acts, they will only sign acts that are like Beyonce. This in turn sends signals to the acts that in order to get signed they must be like Beyonce, so their music then becomes what they think the record companies want. There must be loads of great singers doing great material who never get a look in because they don't tick the appropriate record company boxes. Every decade has produced brilliant soul singers, this decade is no different but convincing record companies and radio stations etc to get behind them is a different matter, when they would rather go down the tried and tested Beyonce route.

What about Sisters Love - Give me Your Love. (can't help with label details as I'm at work.) Jordi
