Anyone can and do say anything at certain times... Its more where the heads at than whats going on with the scene.. How many have said thats it, i'm finished with this scene its dead/crap/boring etc.. Only to be back at some point in the not too distant future.. People with a god complex can think that certain statements they make are the benchmark for all.. Not so.. Happy new year Ian.. Chill.. enjoy and be humble at times, its good for the soul...

Sorry i have been off-line.. All orders posted out tomorrow... cheers.. Steve

Maybe some would not like it whatever lable it was on Ian..... You can't play god with this stuff, its art at the end of the day.. It can't be easy for any artist to read a bad review...You just have to take it that some think its the best thing since the moon landings and others think its like the box set of crossroads.. Sorry back on topic

The one thing that hammered to death and overplayed is this question

Yes Interplay was a big tune for when i was in my teens but i don't need to ever ever hear it out again now .. Never heard it many a moon till i got the soundfile hear... My god, we danced to any old shite... Nice to hear that the kids loved it though...

The kind of stuff that really gets me moist... Dark and dirty ghetto blues... I will add a nice little thing from my box.... Fontella Bass... Talking about freedom

As its Monday morning.... A gun.....

thanks a lot for info..

Can any give me a price/ info please for Kenni Smith.... Lord whats happening to your people.. White Genral American lable..... GAR 317 A.. B-SIDE.. SAME OLD STORY... was this booted?? cheers

Yes indeed a great topic for me that stands out... Miss Schmidt got soul indeed

A plug too for Christian who runs Soulastatic in Sweden.. Had a fantastic time there last weekend... A packed club, young up for it crowd who danced to rare soul.... Now thats what i call a weekend...

Yes there is a world of soul out there.. I have made it a mission to travel and try out soul nights all over the Europe and Oz/ America too... Its great to get some culture/ sight seeing and a good dose of rare soul, what more could you want... Not been to Valencia event yet but gonna make the effort soon, i know that Dani and Valencia/ Spanish have the passion indeed plus the tunes to back it up....The scene is pretty healthy for me, its just that you have to make the effort sometimes to try pastures new if you have the time/ energy or if family/work life lets you.. You also need an open mind too with regards to what you want from your soul ....

I can see them now, climbing over that soulful pile to get to the real northern soul .. Can we have a sounfile for that Biddu .... Who or what is a soul snob , how long is piece of string... Some would say its them forward looking folk trying to add a little colour to the soul canvas with a range of different sounds to mix with the established sounds.. Others would say its the Wally from Wigan who thinks crossover is in the Green Cross Code ... Like so many questions on this forum, there aint no real answer, its an individual thing.. Just get out there and do it, whatever that is you like doing... Long time dead... Rev Kenny Lynch xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

post of the day ..

Can just see the guys in them... along with that soul bra in freebasing .. Nothing else.. The new look for the all night guy..

Double back flaps and a 30 inch bottom.... Sounds like one of them under the counter video's you can buy from the ice cream man... I think you have created a thread to rival Levine now....

Just posted out copies from today... Enjoy..

Still got copies left £10... free postage.. Sorry got to add 50p for paypal... £10.50.. free postage for this modern soul classic....

Looking for a copy as a gift for friend... Prophecy - Rain In My Life .. All platinum lable.. pm me please....

Just seen the topic started already..... Will close this one now..

Had this picture through via email... Thanks to all that helped fund the marker stone for this great soul man... untitled.bmp

Really good topic and lots of valid points... Mark B says it all really... "I think that the scene has probably split into too many factions now, and there is probably no way back" Yes there are many splits with so many people keen to dj and promote, but i can only speak about the more progressive soul nights as i don't go to any oldies events now... Sorry if a little off topic but thats the way the thread was going..
