Anyone Bought Any Decent Cds Recently?
There's been some xcellent new realeases, such as: Earth, Wind & Fire - Illumination Ian Martin - The Way Various Artists - Soul Exposed Wade O. Brown - All Night, All Love There's plenty more too.
-
Trevor Nelson - Help
If you thought what they did to the northern soul scene was bad, they absolutely mudered the southern / Caister scene.

Impalas Or Betty Moorer
I'm gonna vote for Betty too. Much better imo.
-
100% Pure Poison
I saw this on an old list from 1984 - price £3!! I didn't know it then.
-
Tune Alert
Yes that's right Mike. It takes bloody ages unless you've got broadband.
-
The Continetal 4
I think it was Chuck Stanley who covered "Day By Day" - Tashan's label mate on Def Jam.
-
Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators
I heard it last night on Richard Searling's show. Good tune but the vocal is terrible imo.

Worst Cd Compilation
Well put Simon. There's plenty of very good compilation CDs out there. It's slowed down a bit during the last 4 years or so but I guess that's inevitable. They've helped me hear all sorts of great songs that I would never have done otherwise. Grapevine are putting out some marvelous stuff. There are some rubbish ones too, as mentioned above, but it's niot difficult to suss them out. Btw, I thought The Cleethorpes Story Cd was very good. I never went, so I can't comment if it did the venue justice but musically the CD stands up imo.

Just Showing Off?

Northern To Disco
Good post Mr funky4u. Some excellent tunse mentioned. BTW, it doesn't sound like Kenny Bobien singing on Lenny Fontana's "Spread Love" to me.

Leon Haywood ..consider The Source
I bought the 20th Century release by mistake and was disappointed. :-(

**(contemporary) Soulful Comp Released Today!**
I think you'll find this is a bona fide release. I don't see why it shouldn't be posted on this site.
-
Most Influential Dj?
That sounds brilliant. I would love to hear someone try a set like that these days. I think I'd nominaet Richard Searling for someone with broad all era taste and has pushed music no matter what the date of the tune is.
-
Crossover-70's-modern
I'd agree with that assessment John.
-
Betty Boo "say It Isn't So"
Personally I've never liked this and hated the Popcorn Wylie songs even more. "Rosemary What Happened" is worse than Footsee imo. But then again, I never went to Wigan and never experienced hearing them at the time and place.
-
Motown Remixed
I got the CD yesterday and I quite like it. If nothing else, it's made me re-appreciate (if there's such a word) how good the originals are - particularly "Keep On' Truckin'"
-
London Soul Events
The London scene isn't as vibrant as it was 4 or 5 years ago. I don't think it's realistic that it would ever continue to be like that. I don't get out much myself these days due to a mixture of apathy and financial and family reasons. I'm sure many other people are the same. It'll bounce back though. There's plently of good people, like Mark H, who get off their backsides and get things going. It's bloody hard work though, and soemtimes they need a break.

To Hell In A Handcart
Patti Labelle and Teddy Pendergrass at Live Aid. How shite was that!
-
Michael Kyle "why Do We Make Love?"
"Quiet storm" mix is the mix I meant - I think.
-
Kenny Thomas
Phil, It's on a CD called Street Soul 2. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page on the link below and buy: https://www.crazybeat.co.uk Cheers Dave
-
Michael Kyle "why Do We Make Love?"
I've heard it out and about a few times. As you say a great record - there are some dodgy mixes on the 12" though. I think the best mix is the slowjam mix or something similar to that.

Melba Moore..standing Right Here...buddah
