Really good release this Andy. Nice one. Hope all's well pal! 👍

No probs! 🙂

Dynamics on Brainstorm, Woman

One from me, before the wooden hill..... Probably is/has been/was (etc) massive........ But not in my post code/vicinity/envelope..... Magnificent!!.......

Reasonable enough tune Jerry, but pales into insignificance compared with t'other side.......... Only IMHO of course! :-)

All the best Dean, hope all goes well, get well and soon!!!

Hi Leona, check your PM's :-)

Come to the actual weekender Steve! Us in the 'Modern Room' are unlikely to be playing any Northern Soul.... :-) But we definitely will be spinning what you want in "Modern, Jazz-funk, rare groove"....... (There'll be some soulful house too no doubt, but you can nip to the bar when that's on....) My own soul train will be going from Mario Biondi to Motherfox..... from Ronnie Dyson to Dyson's Faces..... and stopping at most stations in between (and around).... Or summat like that anyway......

And while we're on the subject, can whoever needs to please quit it with all the bootleg/re-pressing/whatever it is you're fuckin doing bollocking bollocks. It's getting really boring now. Just STOP IT. Please. There, I feel better now. Thank you.

"But If You Must Go", one of the best tracks ever recorded. A monster. I've only ever had it on the Blues Gallery album. Good arrows Sean. Never heard the Debbie Taylor, so this is an essential for me.

I couldn't let today end without acknowledging the very sad passing of "Docker". I got to know Docker only recently, about 4 or 5 years ago, via my Wendy and the rest of the madness of the "Preston Soul Crew". But sometimes, when you meet someone, you just know straight away that you're in the presence of a legend.... It was a privilege to have known Docker. His enthusiasm for 'this soul thing of ours' was a joy to behold. I know there are many on here who will have gone way, way back with Docker, and who will have many, many fond memories. It's Docker's funeral tomorrow. The Preston Soul Crew will, of course, be amongst the very many there to pay their respects. Much love and respect to Jayne, and all of Docker's family and friends. Rest In Peace Docker. Keep on stomping pal.

Love peace and harmony, better education is the key.... Fab tune, good memories.

'Kinel!! 20 years! Pitches was perfect & Phoenix phantastic. My favourite times. Marie Franklin, Being In Love Ain't Easy off Gary for a fiver. Oh yes. (And many, many more similar besides).... Tomorrows Wish, My Love With You.... not heard that out since I don't think..... Criminal! Diggin it out now as I type..... Didn't we end up 'upstairs' at Phoenix? It's a bit hazy now.... :-) 20 years? Insane.

Miss HKF - What's the record? If the deal goes up the hoover, someone on here might just have a copy lurking around to abate your sobbing. It's worth the ask!? :-)

It was really good IMHO. And finishing off with Soulful Strut was nice.... I'll definitely be tuning in tomorrow.

Our soulmate the late Tony Coleby RIP used to pester me all the time to prise my copy away from me!! TC. Sadly missed.

Blimey, don't'cha just wish you were this lad hearing these tunes for the first time...... Here's 5 of my all time faves, and all as cheap as chips.... Edwin Starr - I Have Faith In You - Ric-tic Bobby Hebb - Love Love Love - Phillips Jackie Wilson - I Don't Want To Lose You - Brunswick Ronnie Walker - You're The One - Phillips Rodger Collins - She's Looking Good - Galaxy And I reckon always stick with originals. It's far more fun, and far more fulfilling (In my humble opinion of course).

Be Bop Deluxe - Axe Victim & Futurama Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Face To Face The Jam - Setting Sons Secret Affair - Glory Boys Four Tops - I Just Cant Help Myself - mfp album - (first soul album owned - christmas present off gran!! Played it to death. Happy days) No blushing required, still revisit all when life needs it.... :-)

haha beaten to the punch!!

Lost Family Blow My Mind on International

There was rain today And crystal blue was hidden by a cloudy gray A sudden shower come to chase the sun away Occasional rain Damn the weatherman He seems to work against me any way he can And he’s been dealing tear-drops since the world began And occasional pain And blue you, don’t believe I’m talking to you The light is shining through you - still you will not see Blue you - think I’m trying to undo you When I only want to seek the Truth And speak true I can’t tell you when But someday soon we’ll see the sun re-born again And there’ll be light without as well as light within And occasional rain

Surely if you open a topic on a 'discussion forum' and then leave that topic open, then anyone is entitled to discuss what they want within that topic (obviously within the bounds of legality/decency etc) either positive or negative? That's the point of a 'discussion forum' innit??!! If you definitely want no discussion in the topic started, then just lock it. Easy!

Sometimes there are just not the right words. Sometimes there are just not enough words. Gary was a top bloke, one of the finest. It was an honour and a privilege to call him a friend. Piddy, we are here if we can do anything at all. All our love Steve, Wendy & Shaun Kearney

Huh?...Just re-read the thread and can't see where anyone is suggesting that??..... (Usually by the time a tune enters my sphere of noticeability, even me mam has known about it for 2 years!! ) Anyway, well done to you for unearthing it. What a tune to find!

Indeed Mike! Totally top album all round....
