I went to one of the Orpington dos as a 15 or 16 year old and remember hearing lots of stuff that was new to me at the time - Sidras Theme, Epitome of Sound, Benny Troy, The Majestics, Rose Batiste to name but a few. I even managed to get a tape with them all on it but no listing.

Never flipped it over before

Almost every time mentions a record, someone usually pipes up with I played it first

It's Dave Dixon, Steve. I only had the pleasure of going to The Orwell once and I don't remember it from that night (nor much else)

Noel Gourdin – Patience Interesting choice. This track never really registered with me on the CD. Nice to see a new artist getting played.

Never heard that before of heard of that CD. It's a good track.

This has been going on for some time unfortunately Mike. Not helping the artist one bit.

Is "Hang Up" the Mark IV song?

I quite liked it at the time it came out. Not so sure now though.

I doubt it. I don't think any of the Ecko stuff comes out on vinyl.

Brilliant record. Is it hard to find now? I see there's loads of the original LP around for reasonable prices. Ignore all the other tracks though.

It's a fantastic book. There's a film about the Detroit riots in 1967 coming out later this year. I have no idea if it's coincidence or is an adaption of the main thread of the book - The Algiers Motel Incident..

Anyone who wants to buy music recorded in the CD era and put it onto a record needs their head examined imo 😀

A CD will

Why Geoff? You can get the CD dead cheap with some great tracks from Angie Stone, Donnell Jones and Alicia Keys thrown in too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shaft-Ost-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B00004TDXT/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1496130674&sr=1-3&keywords=shaft+soundtrack

At the Soul Bag do in London on Saturday, I heard loads of brilliant records including: Sebastian Williams – Get Your Point Over Greg Henderson – Dreaming Arnold Blair – Finally Made It Home Ivan Neville – Dance Your Blues Away Luther Vandross – Sugar and Spice And a great live performance from The New Jersey Connection.

Loads and loads. Not all necessarily serious collectors but record buyers none the less.

When is it next on?

I bought this as a new release. Nice record.

Yes Mickey. It's the 3rd monthly event as it's a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Especially when it's so close to home

Sunday Afternoon event in Chatham: Louie Vega Starring...XXVIII - Heaven Knows The Main Ingredient - Evening of Love The New Jersey Connection feat Cynthia Wilson - Red Light, Green Light Sheree Hicks - Experimental Michael Wycoff - Looking Up To You

The Motown Trackin compilation could also do with a CD issue Mickey.

RIP Cuba. Rolling Down A Mountainside is my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V_W7WhlLVM Sorry, but I can't remember how to embed a you tube clip

Quite. Aside from the fact you could play Porgy & The Monarchs too I'm sure the 45 came out a few months after the LP.

The first King's Hall all-nighter was Feb 97, as far as I can recall.
