News: Soul Searchin' Feature Documentary - London Screening
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.

What was your first boot?
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.

Help! Anyone recognise this 80’s Rare Groove Song
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.

I recently purchased a 45 from Switzerland, charged GB VAT 8.18 swiss francs (£6.45) on top of the price of the record and postage. The dispatch note from the seller on the package cover said all fees had been paid, and I did not have any extra costs (import duties).

Unreleased Sam Dees
With the lockdown, I am listening to quite a lot of soul on the radio. Heard a track on the Marc Collins show on Solar Radio at the weekend Sam Dees -Funny, said it was unreleased dated from around 1971 recorded when at Chess. The recording was from an acetate, the original version apparently is short just over 2.30, but the version played had been extended. Marc hinted that it would make a great release on a 7 inch and I would agree, what do others think? The show is on Mixcloud , the track is played after Starguard Which Way is Up around 1 hour 8 Minutes -
