He's prolific isn't he? I'm just getting to the end of Memphis '68 which I've thoroughly enjoyed.

Ha ha. I'm sure it was. It would've been keeping with things 😀

Did that also get played at the Mecca? 😁

That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?

It did come out on a 12" but I guess this is not what you're after 😀

Didn't this get plays in the mid 80s?

On a similar tip. I love the Stephanie Mills stuff 😀

So many great songs "in a kind of regal disco-adjacent R&B" style null. This one of my faves from Stephanie Mills

Some of my 70s northern soul favourites. Some of which I first heard as a 16 years old on Kent LPs and others I've only heard in the last 15 years or so.

It got reissued on Goldmine Soul Supply last decade so it hasn't been forgotten about for too long. Certainly not overplayed though. I like it.

I didn't bother for those reasons

I've ben to many gigs ove rthe tyears and still love going. Some stand out gigs were: Prince - Lovesexy tour 1998 - Webbley Arena Teena Marie - 2010- Indig02 Jean Carne - 1989 - Dominion Michael Jackson - Bad tour 1988 - Wembley Stadium

The It's Torture compilation LP on Kent is the original, isn't it?

I went to the first one too - mainly for the modern room. Started off superbly by Steve Cole and it was buzzing until about 2am. Ian L then did a 90-120 minute slot sitting behind the decks playing his favourite stuff at the time. Unfortunately it killed the floor and didn't recover. I then spent the rest of the time in the northern room, which was good, but had also thinned out considerably by then.

It's pretty shocking. Why would they do that?

I'd be interested to know too. I've visited twice in the last 18 months and will be returning every now and then.

https://misoulconnoisseurs.com/ Well, some shows on it anyway

That looks familiar

I still buy CDs fairly often. The last two though weren’t the best. The James Hunter Six is mostly rubbish imo. I don’t mind the 60s retro sound but some of his is taking it too far back. I’m not a big jazz fan and I can only take it in limited doses. However I bought the Colin Curtis Jazz Dance Fusion 2CD because I have a great admiration for the man. Unfortunately, I soon got bored and couldn’t make it to the end in one hit.

I don't expect it will happen now. Rescheduled gigs seldom take place. It's purpose was to promote a new album and the momentum will be lost in Feb. Unless they bring out a box set of his solo stuff and he promotes that 😀. Unlikely. At least the promotor keeps the money for another 10 months 😬

All that fuss .........

It wasn't a re-recording. It was a different song with the same title.

Great choice. I'll give them that

I've played this a lot at home over the past 5 years or so. I never got into it originally. It could also be a good choice for the vocoder thread

I might have chosen For Once in my Life too. A song of great optimism. Instead I’ll go for Mon Cherie Armour which I still think of as a really happy love song. In terms of sad songs, they don’t get much sadder than Lately.
