As a youth growing up in central Scotland late 70's and early early eighties I was brought up / listened to and collected your stable diet of Motown / 6t's soul ,
All of that changed when I was listening to a recently purchased " Live " Mecca tape from Richard Domar and The Carstairs filled my headphones in my bedroom,
My favourite stuff is that lazy drumbeat found in all good quality tracks from the philly / mecca period as below , my only regret was never being old enough at the time to go , despite getting dragged round there as a kid at the time on holiday !!!
