Also check out the version of Life is a song worth singing by BPS Revolution.

I think there was a previous thread about record shops in London. Here are my suggestions - Alans Records East Finchley, Flashback Records, end of Brick Lane East London,Record Exchange Notting Hill, Crazy Beat Records Upminster. The Independent Record Label fair held once a year at Kings Cross Coal Drop Yards, First and Third Friday of the month Spitalfields Market Record Fair, Soul Brother Records East Putney. Happy crate digging

I also attended the screening yesterday in Soho. Really enjoyable documentary just over an hour long, it was preceded by a shot film of some of the artists on the Symphonical record label, which also was very good. Some of the topics covered in the Q&A included references to Northern Soul, the Jamaican sound systems of the 60's playing soul music mentioning that a lot of the songs being played could be later found on the East Side Story LP's. Interesting quote in the film from one of the DJ's highlighted, Arlene Sepulveda that all the records they were collecting were in England and they were having to come over here to buy and bring them back home! The directors in the Q&A said they may make some minor adjustments based on feedback from the screenings before entering the documentary in various film festivals. Unable to stay for the after party, but I am going to start checking and paying more attention to the b sides in my collection to see if there any sweet soul gems I have missed. If you get the chance to see the film, well worth watching.

All from 1975 : Gloria Jones Tainted Love on a purple Champion label which somebody pinched from my record box at a party along with the Fuzz I’m So Glad (original). Couple on Soul Fox, The Belles Don’t Pretend and the Four Perfections I’m Not Strong Enough, these would have come from either Jumbo or Virgin in Leeds, all less than a £1. Also remember having an Emi disc of I’m Your Pimp.

Always liked Shoe Leather Express Martha Reeves and the Vandellas off the Sugar n Spice LP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfTwtdQ3VZ4

It’s an additional track on the 2005 Expansion album Get This Party Started compiled by Chris Hill. It’s not listed in the track listing but appears as the last track I think on side 4.

Bub used to play Domino at Cleethorpes all dayers 1977.

Do you mean Jalen N'Gonda- Give Me Another Day ?

Interesting documentary on BBC 4 Storyville Vinyl Nation, available via the iplayer until Monday. Looks at the making of vinyl, not much soul but a good insight in how records are made, costs and its rise in popularity again etc also Austin record fair covered. Watched it last night but apparently first broadcast last month. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0fk55zz/storyville-vinyl-nation

Also a number of LPs including Karin Jones Under The Influence of Love, The Ethics Now Is The Time, Raphael Saadiq The Way I See It.
